Women being disorganised at the front of the shopping queue. Fair enough if they have babbies with them; not so if they still get flummoxed doing something they've done every week for X number of years...

I have an utterly useless and infuriating knack for picking the queue behind people who seem genuinely surprised when they have to pay for their stuff.

On a related note: what the hell do some women be doing that it takes them ten minutes after they've actually sat into their car to get moving? Get in, bag on floor, belt on, start car, move off. I've given up waiting on parking spots because of the faffing, parked my car elsewhere, and seen some women only pulling out by the time I'm walking past

There's an overpowering stench of Mr Muscle oven cleaner coming from the kitchen, even with the back door and kitchen windows open. The Belling oven we bought a couple of years ago is a total piece of s*it, don't buy one based on the reputation a company used to have, the quality just isn't there anymore. As for fan oven, huh, fan oven my aunt fanny, the bloody thing cooks too fast on one side of a dish and not fast enough on the other side. It also gets manky very fast for some reason:mad:

And the luggage, ohh jesus, the luggage. See that thing above your head that looks suspiciously like a luggage rack? Yeahhh, that's exactly what it is!


And just now the old dear beside me asked me could I swap seats because "the train is moving the wrong way".

That, and those who quote things out of context to cause trouble. There is one person I have in mind, to whom I express no opinions, despite their fishing, because I know it will be trotted out, elsewhere, and designed to cause trouble.

Got home from a 9 hour shift at work today to find a group of cyclists, complete with van sitting out in front of my house in my parking space and the one beside it. I had to park sort of awkwardly jutting a bit out on the road and walk through them to get to my front door.

I was going to say nothing to them but they were still there after half an hour of seeing me go into my house and one of them decided to sit with a cooler of food and drinks on my front lawn so that tipped me over the edge.

I went out and asked them how the **** they decided the front of my house was a picnic area and the head Dub (inevitable, he needed the cycle as well because he had a monumental beer belly) said "shure we didn't know it was your house and it was just where we stopped and it's near the shop" to which i replied "well it's obviously someones house. why not stop in front of the shop instead of someones houses? what normal person would think that's ok?" (they where taking up my neighbors parking space as well at this stage)

He got shirty at this stage and said "what's the problem, we're only stopped here for a while?" to which i replied "do you not think it's a bit ****ing ignorant to just set yourselves up in front of someones house to have snacks and then act the **** when they say something to you about hanging around in front of their property?".

All i got in reply was some mumbling so i just went back inside after calling them all ignorant dickheads.

I wouldn't have minded at all if i had have been in the house at the time they arrived and had the manners to asked but sure they were the amazing Dublin people down the country to grace us with their knacker presence to do a bit of cycling so i was the asshole for questioning them breaking the simplest of social conventions.

I had a sledge hammer out the back of the house and i was genuinely considering going out and just smashing the **** out of whatever bikes i could get near but then i'd be the one in trouble then :mad:

Haven't been that genuinely angry in a long time. I do a bit of cycling myself but i'm not one of the spandex wearing, cycle-in-the-middle-of-the-road-three-abreast douche-bags like this crowd were.

Going out of their way to be assholes in pretty much every way imaginable and they didn't realize how close they were to having their twatty €1500 fashion accessory road-bikes wrecked.

There's no cameras or anything to tie me to it down here so i would have ****ed up every single one of their bikes if i wasn't outnumbered 12 to 1.

When my son throws a tantrum in public, I like to be a responsible parent by taking him to one side away from other people and putting him in time out till he calms down and we can talk about what he did wrong. All well and good until someone, usually an old biddy, comes up and goes "Oh what's the matter, wont you daddy get you something? Oh you poor wee one."

Great, now you have reinforced my son's opinion that I am being unreasonable and as a result you have extended his tantrum.

You know those times when you're driving and you get stuck at every single red light? I don't mean just a couple of them in a row, I mean that it goes beyond a joke and it's like ten red lights in a row, and you get so mad you want to smash someone's face in, you want someone to blame, you want to smash something with a hammer over and over again so that it screams in pain.... how dare those lights keep going red on me!! Why meee??????!!!!!!!! And you wonder who's to blame, and then of course you realise that this is all just an unfortunate coincidence - that nobody is to blame - and that just makes it ten times worse because you've nowhere to direct your anger, and you're just left drowning in a pit of angry confusion/frustration.

And then you arrive at your destination.

Except it's not an unfortunate coincidence at all. They're on a timed sequence, so if you're driving at a particular time, you're at mercy to whatever time sequence is at play :P

When your bedroom door is slightly open and caught in a draft so keeps on banging off the frame but doesn't actually close.
Each time I swear to myself ''okay if it happens one more time I'll get up and close it'' but never manage to tear myself from the comfort of my bed.
Low and behold an hour has passed and it's time to get up.

Intelligence is overrated, particularly in today's Western society. I find it helps enormously during the day to sit in a corner with one's head lolling slightly to the side, wobbling your lip with your finger and going Wubba-Wubba-Wubba.

You could have just politely asked them to move, as they were blocking two driveways, I would say they would have moved.

"Amazing" Dublin people gracing you with their knacker presence...wow

sounds like their bikes were nice and shinier than yours:D

On FIFA and the ball goes out for a throw and instead of going to a cut screen a player runs the length of the field to get it. Especially annoying when ur a goal down and five minutes to go. So ****ing annoying

I'm annoyed with how I feel today. Went out for a meal last night and was a glutenous pig. Eating scraps off others plates, 'helping' the kids eat thier dinners, getting that unneccasary desert.

It all seemed so right at the time though.

I was getting it as a take-away so didn't realise until I was back at my desk.

Going out for dinner with the OH tonight. Looking forward to encouraging her to order too much and then, when she realises she can't eat it all, getting a second dinner.

Sure, I could just order two mains, but who does that? This way it doesn't feel wrong.

The beauty of havig kids is that you
a) get to finish thier food
b) eat food that is attractive to your inner kid that you wish was on the menu for adults.

Ah I hate when that happens. It's almost as bad as when you get a sandwich made and it looks fantastic and you are already looking forward to lunch time so you can bite into it only to realise when you get to work that YOU LEFT IT IN THE SHOP! The horror!! It happened. It was a terrible day

Now I love a starter, but you don't get the same options that you get with mains. Besides, part of the joy is that you've finished your meal - you think it's all gone and then... more food!

Yes, it's great - I'm also in the habit of having my porter first, and so I'm dangerously hungry during and indeed after dinner! :pac:

I'm not a fat bastard (well not yet) but I love starters! The only downfall is I can only order one and only if I'm really hungry otherwise I won't eat much of the main course. That's why I love dining with my brother and few other friends, we just get loads (and I really mean loads) of various stuff, absolute pigs...:pac:
Give me a starter over a dessert anytime!

Aye, I am the same. Although the late 20s are a dark time and I can feel the winds of change beginning to blow in this regard. More running seems to be good medicine though.

Speaking of food:

I don't mind sharing, that's fine I'm not Joey but don't fcuking touch my ice cream unless I give you a permission (which is guaranteed if you ask nicely), I usually even offer you to try it out but don't you dare poke at it with your spoon/fork/whatever before I even tried it myself.
That won't end well. For you.

And don't eat my last piece of meat or veg unless you ask. Sometimes I save that piece of broccoli until the end for purpose. Leave it alone.
