    What annoys you about white girls liking Eminem?


    I think it's more this bit is the annoyance -

    The Wire, went on for about 3 minutes. Good job I could fast forward.
    I've said this before and I'll say it again. Texting someone, and they ring back. I'm having a lazy Sunday morning, in the bed, just texted brother to say I'd meet him later today around 4pm, as we had discussed this during the week. He rings back, and is on the phone for nearly 15 minutes. A blow by blow account of every detail of a wedding he was at yesterday.
    Anyway, lesson learned.

    The new True Detective intro is really beyond the pale. I watch it on the PS3 so I can speed it up but even that is long too.

    I was visiting an Aunt of mine earlier, who's just out of hospital after fracturing her hip. She's pretty religious so I thought she'd appreciate me bringing her to her local church. That's when my TA happened. There was someone sitting in front of us, who reeked of stale sweat. I'v never smelt BO like it, it was absolutely disgusting and eye wateringly bad.

    Now if it was coming from a frail elderly person, I could have at least understood why their hygiene was a bit off. But the smell was coming from a couple in front of us, probably in their mid-forties and they appeared to have no physical impairments which might have affected their ability to maintain their personal hygiene.

    Which begs the question, in a country where water is a very bountiful resource and a bar of soap can be purchased pretty cheaply in any shop. What kind of unwashed scumbags, would go into a gathering of other people with a bang off them that would raise the dead?

    when someone gives a missed call and then sends a text saying call me back when you can. why not just text saying what you want. I know for a fact you want a favour, give me a head start for making my excuse up

    I had to use ticketmaster earlier, this website combines so many annoyances I think its main purpose is just to annoy people. You can't choose the seats you want and just assigns random seats each time, you can't see what's actually available. There's a countdown on each page so you better hurry up or you have to start all over. Stupid captcha thing. Verified By Visa pops up just when you think you're finished. The fees are quite annoying too.

    I wanted a €2 coin for the washer-dryer in my building so I put a tenner into the Dart ticket machine even though I had a fiver in my pocket. And got 6 singles back.

    Is there a prize for the most trivial contribution to this thread?

    TA that I haven't a clue what those Lair threads are about over on the nocturnal forum!!
    The best Google can come up with is it appears to be a game of some sort!
    I just can't make head nor tail of what they do be saying in there, and I'm too afraid to ask as I think they'll just respond with coded riddles which will be mocking me, even though I won't understand said mocking!!!

    They wouldn't mock you, any of them I know are really decent people.
    So shopping in Lidl cos it's healthier I think and noticed the olive oil now is in a plastic bottle half the size yet still costs the same???? And the white potatoes are nice for roasting but due to the season perhaps they are now unwashed, I hate washing spuds.

    They're just chat threads, Andy.

    They're not a bad bunch over there. Just jump in and chat.

    Getting dings on the car doors

    Some bastard stuck a knife or something into my car door and it's gone all rusty. My car is ancient but that doesn't give them the right to go around scraping it.

    Sometimes the more ancient the car is the more of a magnet it is to tools who want to damage it

    Walking along in a world of your own and some cuntwaffle decides to beep at presumably someone they know as they pass by and frightening the **** out of me. Unnecessary.

    Embarrassing bodies, and having to nervously flick between channels so someone doesn't catch you watching the awkward nudey parts. There's even a show entitled embarrassing bodies: penis special that's on from time to time, might as well pop on some Asian fart porn at full blast, easier to explain..

    Seriously though, who looks at a penis special programme and thinks " better book that for later, nice night in sorted"

    " babe, can you sky+ the penis special for me?"

    one of my Mum's neighbours hates that we park down her street when we visit. He hates it so much I've had my car keyed twice. The whole length of the bloody car. My sister has had hers keyed 3 times and had foundation smeared all over it. My mum's car has had chocolate smeared on hers.

    I understand that it's annoying when someone parks in the estate but my mum and sister live there and I did up until last year. Disgusting behaviour from a grown man. We cant prove It's him either even though every one knows :(

    If/when you catch him, make him pay for all damage done to date or it goes to court.

    Yeah we got cameras installed at the house a couple of weeks ago and nothing has happened since. Obviously he can see them now and won't risk it. Maybe I'm a bad person but I'd love to see the f***** caught. He's a horrible person.

    That's your deterrent then, buy some cheap €10 dash cams from Amazon and put them in the car, he won't know if they are recording or not and will hopefully stop acting he prat.

    He won't even know a camera is in the car. Park it outside his house away from the view house camera and see if he takes the bait
    As a gob****e with a burning desire to damage your car he will be pulling his hair out and have sleepless nights wondering whether he should have a go
    I'll bet your camera will have some great viewing in a few days

    Put on the kettle .

    Haha it would be great viewing. He lives directly across from my mum. The cars are parked near his house, sometimes in front, it's kind of a park where you can find a space sort of place. Will definitely look into those car cameras! Isn't it awful that people have to go to these lengths to protect their property. I can't ever imagine doing something so nasty.

    If you absolutely have to be grammatically correct I suppose it's made from cherries. As opposed to alongside cherries I guess?

    I can't recommend a bottle as I don't recall ever trying it. Sounds nice though.

    Bitchiness in grown women.
    Approached some girls I've gotten to know from joining the gym and the way they looked at me today...it was as if they'd been talking about me.
    Then one woman proceeded to turn her back on me and talk to her friends.
    I felt like I was back in school and as a result, I feel quite down about it now.

    Awful, I don't understand why women do this. Don't feel too upset, you're a better person than all of them together x

    Thanks, you're very kind. I won't let them get to me, I'm not a teenager anymore but it annoys me that some women still carry on like this.
    I would class myself as a friendly, approachable person and I would never do that to someone.
    So it's hard for me to understand how some women can.

    Oh yes, this. I just can't begin to even understand how grown women could act like this. No better than teenagers, and probably worse than some. At the moment a woman I know for years is acting out like a child and being a complete nasty bitch to someone else, just because she has started a new relationship. From how she is carrying on I can only assume she likes the fella herself, and is pure bitter over it. It's very undignified, she is making a holy show of herself, and making everyone else feel extremely awkward:(

    I'm TA that I can never beat my oldest, wisest and biggest German Shepherd in hand-to-paw combat. The rare time that I manage to get him onto his back. Quick as a flash, he plants his big left paw under my chin and quickly follows up with a big right paw to my cheek. In all my years of martial arts & boxing, I have never met a more difficult opponent.:(

    Drivers who don't follow/notice one-way systems in shopping-centre car parks.
    I particularly notice it in Dunnes Knocknacarra in Galway, but I'm sure it happens everywhere.
    I don't get how people don't notice the giant arrows and lines on the ground, and I'm amazed there aren't more minor accidents the way people fly around corners.

    I'm quite bloody-minded and won't budge when I encounter someone head-on (though I try to point out the arrows on the ground), waiting for them to back off.

    But the other day I noticed a woman in a big SUV come round a corner the wrong way while an old woman in a small hatchback was trying to reverse out of a space. The old woman was obviously aware of the one-way system and was flustered at having her way blocked by a a garguantuan roadbeast (which also was leaving her very little space to maneouvre).
    The poor woman eventually had to pootle along the wrong way, of course then coming face-to-face with a driver going in the right direction, forcing her to turn quickly through a pedestrian crossing.

    I think people should have to do a theory test every year, to remind them of the basics they forget about so quickly after passing the test.
    I mean, don't even get me started on indicating on roundabouts.

    Speaking of inconsiderate drivers...

    Yesterday I was with a family member (who has a wheelchair permit for the car; he was driving, I was the passenger), and we'd just parked in a wheelchair space outside the local shopping centre.

    I went off to get a trolley, leaving my relative waiting at the main door.
    As I approached him, he pointed out that a girl had just pulled up beside our car, leaving about an inch between our passenger side door and her passenger side door.

    We stood there for a minute to see how her passenger was going to be able to get out.
    He managed to squeeze out, so she hopped out and locked the car.

    My relative said to her "How is the person in that other car going to get in?"
    She looked at him and said "The other side."
    He said "But what about their passenger?"
    She said "Um, I'm parked fine. What's the issue?"
    I then piped up and said "I'm the passenger of that car there beside you and I won't be able to get in."

    She was about to walk off until my relative asked her to park properly, which she did, but I swear to God, some people should not be allowed drive.
