    People being grateful on this thread, just kidding gramar

    We can't be giving out all of the time now can we? Maybe we can. I'm annoyed I've heard of that song because
    now I want to hear it so I can experience first hand how annoying it is and then that will annoy me. Damn you all!

    It's very annoying that if I don't get a chance to drop by during the day...there's dozens of posts on this thread to catch up on...



    P.S Keep up the good work ;)

    The absolutely stupid moderation of the Independent.ie. I was just looking back through my comments and noticed half of them have been deleted.

    One of the them was deleted because I used partner and marriage in the same sentence...the fudge?

    My comment 'Anything to be said for another mass?' was also deleted.

    At first, I thought okay fair enough but I was reading through a few articles today and some really abusive stuff is allowed to stay up. It's fudging ridiculous!!! They're like the God police or something.
    Reminds me of moderation somewhere else where the moderation depends on the moderators personal opinion and that of his small sad clique on a forum, Rather than any objective reasoning , not this forum of course

    IT departments in companies. The place could be burning down but as long as something looks like its working to them then there's no issue.

    Those lame Virgin ads with Usain Bolt dressing up and making a show of himself.

    People that drive with their fog lights on at night when there is no fog. Do people really thinks it makes their car look cooler?
    F*ckheads who have their fog lights on all the f*cking time
    Thirded! I figured other people might have picked this one. :D

    I was driving tonight and the amount of f*ckheads with their f*cking fogs on (front and back). It's not foggy out, F*ckhead! TURN THEM OFF! And have some consideration for other drivers who don't want their eyes cut out of them. I actually think that rear fog light is the worst. It's so damn bright and right in your line of sight - awful if you can't overtake.

    It's amazing the rage that descends when I get dazzled by fogs. I start dreaming up all sorts of brilliant contraptions to summarily dispatch the pig-ignorant fog light junkie. My particular favourite is a machine gun that would extend out of my wing mirrors. The gun could take the lights out from a distance. Then a rocket launcher would extend up out of the boot and would blow the pig ignorant f*cker's car to smithereens. As I drive gleefully by the carnage, a robot hoover is jettisoned and it cleans up the mess (it's got a little dustpan and everything). It then tootles off to the local recycling centre (courtesy of its built-in GPS) and it happily plays the Wombles theme tune as it goes about its business. I don't want to cause an environmental hazard and people can get very upset about the environment these days, just ask Duncan Stewart. However, it would seem that I'm okay with the total and utter annihilation of another human being. In this one instance, you understand.*

    * This is not a legally binding agreement. Terms & conditions apply. Said human annihilation may also apply in the following instances; People who ignore the "ten items or fewer" rule in the express supermarket queue, people who steal the car parking space that you've been waiting and indicating for and gob****e middle lane drivers. This list is not to be taken as final.

    When you're in a foul humour but still try to remain as a decent considerate human being so you tactfully inform the people in your near radius to leave you in peace and what do they do!? They just won't shut up! Please do me and yourself the favour and wrap up your nagging and a chit-chat and move on before I turn from a grumpy hedgehog into a very angry porcupine that actually can throw its quills :mad:

    So I wander into the office kitchen to fix an oul' heart-starter. While the espresso machine is ruminating and growling, I get a bottle of milk out of the fridge and place it on the worktop beside me. As I'm waiting, someone else comes in with a bowl of cereal, eyes the milk, and says "May I?". "Certainly", says I, and they take the bottle and put some on their cereal. Then, they put the bottle back in the fridge. YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU!!!

    My day is going from bad to worse. I had to reboot the work PC cos it was running painfully slowly. Well, didn't it take 1 hour to reboot and has now lost a file referenced in the registry. This is after a saga of 2 weeks trying to get it working properly again (thought I had) after it nearly pulled down the whole network after installing updates (it's very old and hadn't been used for a couple of years prior to me starting here so needed a lot of updating before support for XP ended). I nearly vomited. I am never, ever, ever rebooting it again.

    I'm sick of IT. In fact, let's get rid of calculators and go back to scale rules. Much easier. At least scale rules can't crash and take all your work with them.

    It's damned lucky I'm on my own here, nobody can suffer my bad mood.

    Most computers are a complete waste of time and resources and have produced an entire generation of addled, cross-eyed carcasses who are so delighted when they briefly do what they're actually supposed to do that they are completely oblivious of the fact that they are mostly useless. It turns out Ken Olsen was right. At any rate, in a sane and just universe, he would have been.

    Electioneering:mad: Most of our candidates has knocked on our door so far, normally I'd see that as a good thing, but this year I have some questions to ask them. Now any other time I just wouldn't answer the door to them. I've had tons of junk mail in my letter box from them and now there's a van with a loud speaker going around the area blasting vote for X.

    Well no, I'm not voting for them because you're loud speaker shows a total lack of consideration for people. What about the people who work nights and are trying to get a bit of sleep or anybody else who could do without you shouting about your candidate.

    If they want votes they can damn well get off their backsides and do the traditional thing of knocking on peoples doors of an evening and explaining why we should vote for them.

    The Mrs puts used jam and honey jars that are going into recycling in the dishwasher. Everything gets covered in little bits of label but it doesn't stop her, it would be awful if the recycling people tracked us down as the criminals who put the sticky jars in the recycling bin.

    I can't put sticky jars in the recycling bin but I wash them by hands because bits of label everywhere is another thing I can't stand. And that reminds me of a few more:
    • you open the washing machine to take the clothes out and realise that somehow that one bastard of a tissue got in there and now it's all over everything
    • when someone puts a cup with the teabag into the dishwasher, the said teabag rips open and tea is stuck over every single piece and you have to re-wash everything by hand to get rid of it
    • plates/bowls with bit of food/thick sauce in the dishwasher (spinach and the likes are your enemies here), just rinse before ffs it takes a few seconds
    • teabags in the sink, the bin is not miles away
    • plates/pans from scrambled eggs and plates/bowls from poridge/cereal left sitting on the counter for hours. Just let it soak dammit, you need a chisel to get the stuff off!!

    :mad::mad::mad:
    I'm with you on these. I leave jars into a basin of water and the label comes off whole. Hate that if a tissue gets all over stuff in the wash, and you are convinced you searched every pocket and sleeve.
    Another thing I hate is litter, and what seems to have become common-stuffing household rubbish into public litter bins. I saw two people yesterday at a bin outside a supermarket, trying to stuff rubbish into an already overflowing bin. It was a total mess already, I feel sorry for whoever has to try and empty it.
    I hate to see people flinging litter around anyway. It makes me sick.
