The faux outrage surrounding this advert and it's apparent sexism. How is it any less sexist than that infamous Katie Taylor ad that was airing not too long ago?

Inexplicable stains on a top you've JUST WASHED.
I put a snow white top in the wash and it came out with dried on spots of something.
It didn't have a mark on it before it went in.
And of course because it's a white top, it's so noticeable there's a mark on it.

That crap drives me nuts. People looking to be outraged for the sake of it. Drama queens/kings.

Yep, you sound ungrateful.

Does it take you 2 and a half hours to get ready?

Make them a cup of tea and some breakfast, sit down and have a chat with them. They're not going to be around forever.

The fact I can hear my foghorn-voiced, busybody, nosey neighbour's every utterance from 70 yards away is a constant TA. Go and poke your nose far, far away.

Is it compulsory for every white van workman to whistle and act the goat constantly? New neighbours have been getting their house gutted and renovated for the last EIGHT months with these Mockney muppets 'working'. And, of course, once they finally move in, they'll expect me to be a bright and breezy neighbour. Fcuk off.

Selfish pedestrians who smoke. There they go, about 15 ft ahead, and either you have to breathe in their foul stench, or you have to run ahead of them to get away for some clean air. Get them - and their vile habit - to fcuk!

In a similar vein of Mr Spaceman's experience, I was recently on the train from Galway to Dublin. In the same carriage as myself was this "business woman", a good bit down the carriage. Her voice still carried quite audibly down the carriage though, as she rambled on with her smartphone about the low performance of her hotel/restaurant subordinates, bashing their reputation as much as she could. Utterly manky in a professional sense tbh.
Annoying trainpassengers don't just come from stag/hen parties for that matter, and can be quite mature in years when it comes to it.

When people don't stir mince whilst it's cooking and it ends up turning into cooked lumps of meat. I just hate it.

When people insist on not breaking spaghetti in half so that it actually fits in the saucepan straight away. It's going to taste the same so just throw it in there and get it cooking ffs. Had someone insist on keeping it intact once so I left her to it. She ended up having the flame turned up too high and it burnt the spaghetti that was hanging over the pan. *evil smirk*

At work, we have those drinking water taps to fill up your water bottles or cups with. They can be left switched on so you don't have to keep your finger on the trigger but I can't even remember how many times I've walked by and it's been left running. Wasteful swines.

This fella I've been seeing recently. Lovely lad, funny, kinda cute, super down to earth.. Sounds good right? Its only casual really, I didn't want anything serious. And all of a sudden he's talking about a relationship and waiting a year for sex..
Really annoyed. I dont want a boyfriend and definitely ain't waiting a year for him

Maybe he is trying to beak up with you?

You're walking down the street and your shoelace becomes untied. You bend down and tie it firmly and then continue on your way.

After about thirty seconds you notice that, after tying the original shoelace quite firmly, the other shoelace now feels unsatisfyingly loose even though it's still technically tied.

Eventually you have no choice but to bend down, untie the looser shoelace and tie it again so that it's level of tautness matches the other shoe.

A man that wants to wait a year to have sex?

He is either a religious headcase or a gay guy looking for a beard.

Definitely a headcase of some sort anyway. He thinks it's normal to use winkey faces as punctuation.
This morning I received a message along the lines of:
"Hey any plans for the day I don't I'm off work "
He seems to hate commas and full stops?

Ordering a pot of tea in the McCafé and they ask are you having it here or taking out. Do they give paper pots of tea in McDonalds?

Moths.
They have not bothered me, or my clothes, since about 1987.
But they seem to be back! Moth balls anyone?

How when you are out in a restaurant and the waiter times it perfectly to ask you is "everything ok" just as you are after having a mouthful of your meal.

You're not alone, I literally can't stand the sight or sound of myself in stuff like that. I've have just no interest in watching or listening to myself.

''ah i found a video, you're in this one....come have a loo-''

''so, are you gonna talk to X on Skype later?''

''eh....if i get the time...''

Skype is a cVnt for this. watching yourself talk and glaring in the bottom corner creeps me out. i was put on the spot the other day to talk to a relative who's abroad. does anyone look horrible on a webcam?

i think id rather it just be a kept a mystery as to how i look, sound and act to other people, and to myself.

Just getting nicely sleepy, about to nod off when my subconscious sort of tells me "something isn't quite right". I lazily open one eye and fcuk, there is a bat flying around the room. After much flapping of wings, towels and pillowcases I captured him/her/it and released him/her/it out the window. Now I am hyper as fcuk. No sleep for another while.

When that "Windows Module Installer Worker" thing decides to go full retard and eat up all the CPU in your machine and hence prevent you from doing anything smoothly on it until it decides to piss off again. Trying to "end" it too in Task Manager just causes it to fire up even more and cause more havoc.

Fair enough I suppose. You should let him know your expectations vs his and if the two don't match then call it quits.

Lets try reversing the genders here. A woman decides she wants to wait before having sex with her partner. Would you still find it acceptable to question if she was missing some part of her anatomy or was somehow a religious headcase/repressed homosexual?

I get annoyed by people who use the word pound (currency) when they are trying to sound simpler. For example, I was reading an article by a local chef recently and in one sentence he said "People are willing to spend €30 on a 3 course meal now" and in another he said "People look at the menu and don't mind going that bit extra for quality and will spend the extra few pound"

Today on radio I was listening to a politico journo on newstalk and at no point did he mention the pound word when discussing the budget but then he got to "People will be looking to see if the extra few pound is in their pay packet" - who gets a pay packet by the way? How ancient is that.

Anyway, use of that word to sound simpler annoys me.
We use Euro for well over a decade now.

I was joking. People do have different beliefs. I've just personally never met a man who wasn't a horndog. Each to their own but yes, she should be honest with him about their incompatibility.
