    My new neighbour who hasn't moved in yet is annoying the sh*t outta me.

    1. We have parking spaces on our street, he is one of the gobsh*tes that parks over 2 of them persistently. As I look out now (more on that to follow) he is parked over 2 spaces.

    2. We also have bin areas, which is a locked bin shed. I seen him walking away from my one earlier. Where his house is, he is not supposed to be using it. He also walked away from the side of it where people tend to dump their rubbish if they dont have a key for the shed. But I didnt see if he left anything there. A few minutes later, I did catch him putting rubbish there. So I told him the whats what in the area and the bin shed usage, and that he is not even supposed to be using it. He looked at me with no clue what to do. Then he said sorry and walked away.....without removing his f*cking rubbish.

    3. He has just arrived with his family to show them the new house. He has about 30 kids that have all piled out of his car. That is going to be fun.

    4. 30 is a bit of an exaggeration, but definitely more kids than seatbelts.

    I cant stand this guy already.

    His wife/lady partner also p*sses me off because she is constantly walking around the street on her phone shouting.


    They are not going to like me when I put all the rubbish beside the bin area in their garden tonight.


    People like that (and their landlord) need to have the riot act read to them at the very beginning, or they will proceed to be an absolute nuisance to all around them and the landlord may not be much help since they are the source of his/her income.

    Girls who post pictures with a pigeon toed stance. It makes a total joke out of being pigeon toed (if it wasn't embarrassing enough). It's not cute, it's not fun to trip over yourself 4000 times a day and have back and hip pain almost every day. Sincerely someone who is actually pigeon toed

    Soanofabitch. I left a packet of chicken breasts on the worktop for 10 minutes and when I came back there was a bluebottle flying around in there landing on the chicken. There was a hole in the packaging that I hadn't seen. Well, the chickens in the bin now. Don't know what Mr P is having for dinner now, it's 27 degrees here, not a chance in Hell I'm going to the supermarket.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭deise08



    I blame all the dummys/ models/ Mannequins in the shops. You ever see the way they have them posed? Ridiculous. Cos people actually stand like that?
    well they do now I suppose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    Just read an entire article on The Journal where they made numerous references to something called "slopping out" in reference to Irish prisoners. Not once did they make an effort to actually explain what that is - because of course, it's something we all know and talk about every day. NOT! (There's my 90s homage.)

    So I have no idea what they were on about and now I think even less of the journalistic ability of the people who write for The Journal than I already did. I should have applied for work there since clearly there are no journalism qualifications required. The less the better, in fact.

    Shoddy journalism infuriates me when it's from people who are being paid to be journalists.

    They use a bucket to toilet in. They then have to empty the buckets out each day. Now, you learned something new today:)

    Back when I had more pocket money and spent a lot of time wedged under smelly armpits (tube. 5ft tall. Snuff said), I used to buy boots own label roll on deodorant or sometimes something a bit more fancy on '3 for 2', and hand it to people as I was getting off as a colossal hint...

    When contestants in cooking shows don't tie their hair back or wear hair nets. It's so annoying, how can you cook with your hair in your eyes and face? And what if it gets in their food?!!

    Annoys the heck out of me! :P

    At work we have a dishwasher.

    It annoys the life out of me how many people will leave their dishes on the counter and not load the dishes into the dishwasher. Before

    you all say that's just men.........I am a woman and the women on staff are the worst....imho.

    As a former dishwasher, I agree. The worst part was cleaning off the women's dishes before loading them into the dishwasher. Gross stuff they left on and in their dishes.

    When you're knackered and have just gone into a deep sleep and you're woken up by someone clattering around the place ,unloading a dishwasher or something , I turn into an antichrist and basically end up telling the person at receiving end of my rage that " you're mother sucks cocks in hell " .......feel guilty now , but why should I , noisy pains in the hole !...it's a bit annoying feeling guilty about something like that .

    When you're so stressed out and think a good cry will clear the air, so you stop trying not to think of stuff that's bothering you, but it's like floodgates open, you're near hysterics, you can't stop thinking bad things, and you're all alone with nothing only scary bad thoughts, exhausted from crying but not feeling any better.

    I should have just not bothered trying to clear the air lol. I'm not a crier, usually, and clearly I suck at having emotions. I'm not doing it right!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,694 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Those links to videos or photos on facebook and elsewhere that promise you 'this will make you question everything you ever knew about the world' or that 'these photos will change the way you think about everything'....way to set the bar too f**king high.

    The neighbour's dogs constantly barking. They're at it at night, early in the morning, during the day because they are kept locked in a run all the time, never walked and never taken into the house out of the run for some attention.
    What exactly is the point of having pets if that's the life you're giving them?

    Waking up exhausted because it's too hot and sticky to sleep properly.

    I had great plans to do a bunch of stuff today because it's my first day off in two weeks but i just don't have the energy at all.

    Have done so 3 times now and I've even seen them come out to the house but the dogs "have shelter and food and water", which they do, but that's no life for a dog.

    Probably a "recession dog". I have a few of them around me.

    Guy loses his job and is bored at home. Guy buys dog so he can walk it during the day to have something to do. Guy gets new job and dog now lives in run/backgarden and is largely ignored.

    They'd be better off being dropped into a rescue or where ever so that someone who actually wants them can adopt them.

    Some of Tescos self-service checkouts used to have a chute for coins in front of the scanner which was handy for getting rid of lots of change. Now they have fitted a slot on the chute so you have to insert the coins one by one.

    I wouldn't have minded that so much but I'm a lefty and can't do anything with my left hand until the swelling goes down. It's so itchy I've rubbed it raw.

    I work in retail...
    When somebody comes in I say " Hello, Would you like a hand with anything" (FYI - I don't hop on the customers when they walk in!)
    Customers response is normally "No" followed by a question!
    Why say "No" If you need my help!!! Surly the answer to me asking if you would like a hand is Yes!!!!!!!

    Similar on our street, just the one case, but it's awful. I imagine it was supposedly 'for the kids', now the poor thing is ignored, barking incessantly, just for a bit of attention.

    Brace yourself for an ATM nerd rant.

    Those messages were designed by a marketing team that had to involve a little bit of a study on human behaviour and psychology. But then the tech guy that had to write it up in the branding decided to change it to suit what is actually happening on the machine.

    Logically, the message does make sense, the transaction is finished when the card is finished being read, so the card can be removed while the money is being stacked in the dispenser. Thats why you get the "if you have not already done so" message because it is technically possible to remove the card earlier than that message.

    Trivial thing that annoys me -> knowing so much irrelevant information on ATMs.
