Yeah, my kids do. This is what they have been taught. They also pick up litter on occasion, quite simple.

And half the food is on the floor, frikken hate that, wonder what their homes are like.

What's wrong with that?

I've worked in facilities in the UK where reverse parking is mandatory! The logic being you reverse park earlier in the day when your more alert, as opposed to at the end of a work day when you are more tired, and more likely to slip up while reversing, and possibly have an accident. Studies have proven this practice does indeed reduce carpark dings etc... So I myself will usually always reverse park if I can.

Its annoying when your stuck behind someone who takes 3 to 4 attempts to do it.

People traffic. People ahead of you who move slowly and hesitantly, and slow to get out of the way. The elderly are infamous for this, holding up queues with their endless queries and transactions. they talk slowly, move sloooowly, respond slooooooooowly, taking their tiiiiiiiiiiiime. I'm sorry I like the elderly deep down, but just wish aging didn't slow us down so much.

They possibly need driving lessons if it takes them that many attempts to reverse into a space?

I just got into the habit of reversing into spaces as I used drive a van when I was younger...and you don't want to be trying to reverse a van out blindly

I only just remembered this now, possibly I blocked it out as it was quite traumatic. Yesterday evening in Tesco there was a woman in a fluffy pink dressing gown, pyjamas and slippers in a queue. I can't believe I didn't bitch about it to anyone, so annoyed !!

Very few people would have done that. But if someone isn't capable of doing it in one or maybe two goes. Don't do it in place were you are going hold up others

Nothing worse when it's a toenail and then putting your socks over it.

*shudders* I really hate that feeling, it's the same when I cut my fingernails too short and then I don't want to touch anything because it sends a shiver down my spine.

McChubbin

Trivially annoyed that my multi-vitamin pill tastes like vinegar-soaked cardboard. I go for the Holland & Barretts own brand of vitamins and they have no gluten/soya/artificial preservatives/flavors/sugars/etc. But still, they taste vile and it lingers on my tongue all morning no matter how much tea I drink!
Also a bit more than trivial: the fact that I now have to take as many as 10 and a half pills a day just to keep all my chemicals/hormones in balance. It's depressing.

If I'm over at a friends house for some grub, I'll automatically bring my dishes to the sink and start cleaning them when I'm finished. They usually stop me, but the very least I'll do is rinse off my dishes.

It's all down to simple manners and upbringing. My parents raised me to have a bit of manners and consideration for others. Ignorance or entitlement wasn't tolerated in our family home. I hate self entitled pricks who think it's o.k. to behave like ignorant pigs.

Being the family counsellor/mediator in family squabbles. They're already eyeballing and arguing over the house/property, and my mother is now "on her last legs" apparently according to some family members (still looking healthy as a horse far as I can see anyway!). You really have to wonder about the mindset of some people...

I think I preferred it when I was the black sheep of the family and none of them ever talked to me. Now I wish they'd all just... politely as possible, fcuk off! :pac:

I hope the mother sets a match to the place as she's passing out through the door. I could care less what happens to it or any of the greedy saucer-eyed fcukers that have their sights set on it while my mother is still breathing! :mad:

People that say Maigh Eo rather than Mayo in conversation. I get it's the way to say it in Irish but still.

A variation of this is shopping people traffic. Some aul wan pushing her trolley along on side of the aisle, sees something one the other side so slowly move across, but trailing the trolley across the whole aisle, blocking anybody else from getting by.

Wills split families. Sad but true. I have told my mum to leave everything to the Dog. You know something - she is just crazy enough to do that...which would be great.

Already running late and now I have to wait ages (by London standards) for my train because some absolute ****wit doesn't seem to get the concept that during the morning rush hour "walk on the left" actually requires some fcuking movement.

Not a TA, but actually deadly serious annoyance.

Instead of folding them, roll them into a cylindrical shape for easier insertion.

People, everything pisses you off on a Monday morning. Every negative instance is magnified x100 because it's Monday.

TA bumping into people you vaguely know, but don't really like in shopping centres.

Reminds me of a mountainous spot I got on my cheek before my Uni graduation. It got so big, an ex of mine wanted to apply some of her make up over it. But I wasn't having it, I had bonded with it and I was lovingly cultivating it for the optimal moment to squeeze. It really was sight to behold, I did consider installing some aviation lights on it because it had become so mountainous. Tbh, I was kinda sad when it was gone.

Why do kids always pull their socks off inside out? Every single one.

Kids?

I'm just thinking now, "have I been doing it wrong the last 30 odd years?". I just thought like everything else, they get a better wash when they're turned inside out so I just peel them off like that and then that saves the launderette guy a bit of work. He's probably been silently cursing me all these years and I never knew :pac:

I've been caught in a tremendous hurricane, water and tumultuous whirlwinds force themselves upon me. I'm in agony, my eardrums are bursting and my heads exploding. Unbearable tension holds its clammy hands around me.

Yes, my neighbour's broken washing machine is on, whirring and gurgling, shaking the floorboards above. Nobody cares, the Landlord scoffs. Another day, another dollar.

People who don't know how to close doors properly, just close it over and then give it a quick pull till you hear the lock click. Everyone in my house slams the **** out of the door when their leaving, the whole house actually shakes, they do it so hard. Especially annoying when you're in bed on a Sunday morning.

People leaving a week's worth of groceries for themselves in our tiny work fridge, using up all the space. I could barely squeeze in my lunch box this morning, and I was one of the first people in the office today.

Went shopping with d'mammy today and she kindly bought me a nice plaid shirt I was admiring in Dunnes.
It was a size 20 but looked pretty roomy on the hanger. First mistake? I didn't try it on in the shop- I get fitting room anxiety at the best of times. Got home, pulled my t-shirt off and slipped the new one on- nope. Couldn't even get it up to my shoulders, such is the lack of give in the fabric. Heartbroken. I'm now sitting here feeling fat and frumpy and full of self-loathing. Damn my broad shoulders and bulky arms. Damn them to hell. :mad:

Two pillowcases getting caught in the duvet cover so everything is dry except them. So annoying yet so trivial.

Fúcking duvet covers, is there no end to the amount of stress and annoyance they cause? Surely there is a better way?

Sorry be going on but the very second my back is turned the cheapskate neighbour comes down and starts using the dryer even though it's obvious my clothes are in the washing machine wet. I've already paid for the washing so he must smell the money or something. It keeps happening and I told him how can I dry my clothes which I have already paid for when you are using the dryer. He pretend he doesn't understand and questions me on how long I will be even though I'm paying for it. The fcking nerve of this prick I swear.

always happens when you're going out somewhere or dealing with people face to face, and you've nothing strong enough to clear it up as fast as you'd like it to. I used to want to hide away and wait for the big red cyst - like things to clear up


TA at predictable mob mentality. PR scandal involving a local business? head straight to their facebook page and blast them with p.....poor 1 star reviews and scathing comments even though you've never set foot in the place, why? because rabble ****ing RABBLE! they have the best of intentions but it happens so often that you just get sick of the same ''disgusting'' ''outrageous'' ''should be ashamed'' lines of commentary that your eyes glaze over. it'll be a different scandal next week and people will carry on lapping it up.

also TA when a historical event happens, every second post on your timeline is a post about that event, and it gets to the point where you wish said event never happened just because of the constant streams of people basically saying the same thing, take the Mar.Ref for example. this goes hand in hand with the above social media mobs.

I'm with you on this.

Equally annoying, people who can't close doors to the other extreme - i.e. the door isn't properly closed and any breeze has them gently hitting off the jam repeatedly.

Having to repeatedly get out of bed to stop the kitten from rooting through the bin. As soon as she knows I'm coming over, she strolls away pretending she wasn't doing anything. Grrrrrr she knows not to be in the bin but does it anyway!

People on adverts who don't read the ad properly, then get pissy when you don't play ball with them.

Needing a fire in July. Not for company but for warmth. On the upside I suppose it lessens the risk of birdies getting comfy in the chimney but moy jaaaaaaaaysus am I sick of carting fuel around the place. :mad:

Trying to buy gamecube games. It took me weeks to get it to work on my TV, and cost me €100+. I bought Mario kart double dash, before I realised it wouldn't work on my TV. It came with no case, just the disk. I put it somewhere safe and now I can't remember where I put it. Doing a big clear out so I might have thrown it out
€20 for a new one second hand on adverts!
Then there's another game that is great but I can't find it anywhere, except amazon for €35. Will have to suck it up, cheaper than other consoles I suppose!

There's also a really noisy bike being driven around the area, it sounds like a hairdryer. Been going around for ages now!
