This ad on boards is annoying me.

In what universe will a tuned Toyota Yaris (Possibly Auris) keep up with a tuned Mustang?

And notice how the Toyota is silver coloured!

Listening to repeat programmes in the middle of the night that you have already heard during the middle of the day.
People who take off their shoes on coach journeys.
The clanging of coat hangers in a wardrobe and they all getting entangled.
People who comb their hair at work in full view of other staff.
People who stir their tea with a spoon making a horrendous noise.
Arab (particularly) politicians/spokesmen with bad English using the word 'gonna': 'We have meeting in White House and we gonna talk about problems Middle East.'
Lillian Smith on RTE radio endlessly calling out requests from people.
People who say 'de' instead of 'the'. 'Da problem is ...'
Gay people on marches/demonstrations dressed up in frivolous costumes making themselves vulnerable to mockery. Talk about own goals.
Most Radio DJs.
Nicky Byrne. Can't stand the sight of him. (Strange he hasn't started on a solo career...?)
Mature people (ie people who should know better) using rising intonation ie a sentence ending in a questioning tone eg: 'I went to see my bank manager about a mortgage?'
Ryan Turbidy
Gerry Ryan
Man wearing ponytails.
People with tatoos.
BBC Four (TV) not starting until 7 pm.
Eileen Dunne's lack of wit, originality:'Next to come on the 9 O Clock news'.
Des Cahill's laziness
My dog when she ignores me.
Men going around in Feb/March wearing cheap garish coloured shorts.
Female students wearing those hot pants with tights when they do not have the shape for it.

I think I feel a bit better now.

Yet another silver car with no lights on.

I got really annoyed watching Sky news this morning, well more annoyed with it than usual. Unsubstantiated claims from some anonymous ex girlfriend of the pilot who crashed the flight during the week, implying that he had intended to crash a plane, are ridiculous. He's dead so he can't dispute those accusations and Sky are being just vague enough to avoid saying that he intended to crash the flight, but the implication is there all the same.

I mean ffs, enough already. I hate when the media starts that kind of bull sh*t. She can say whatever she likes without fear of being identified and challenged and I doubt she gave them a story for free. So she's cashing in on other people's grief.:mad:

TA that I agreed to go to something tonight that I have no interest in.

Double TA that I couldn't think of an excuse not to go and sit at home guilt free for the night.

when you order something off a menu with high hopes considering the price, and it turns out nothing like you expected, and come away disappointed, or you enjoy the food but there's not enough of it to justify the price. desserts are a nightmare for this.

when companies change the recipe of your favourite foods resulting in them not tasting nearly as good as they used to.

also when tv/game companies relaunch their once popular shows/games and water them down for the younger generation, making them less edgy and more PG friendly.

the post takeaway guilt of ordering too much and therefore eating too much, looking at the spare leftovers you could've done without, but were starving and thought you could manage, eyes bigger than your belly. the sense of greed really sets in when you're four or five slices into a pizza, and cant stomach the garlic bread and chicken wings you got with it, or when you start with the garlic bread/chicken, and are full before you can even start on the pizza. the thrill of the binge is good at first though.

when people see quietness as weakness, and refer to it negatively. so many people just love to fill the silence with pointless sh1t that just sounds like they're trying too hard.

Our neighbour died this week and as people were coming out to the house we opened our yard up as a carpark. The family asked us to only let older people drive down to the house because they have quite a small yard.

The amount of rude people who complained and moaned at us, making up excuses to try and drive down instead of making the short walk. Ugh respect the family's wishes, they're having a horrible time as it is without ignorant people doing as they please.

TA that I got an email saying that my Parcel Motel depot is closing, it was so handy to call in on my way home from football and collect my deliveries. New depot I have to use is across the river and may be slightly further away from me :rolleyes:

That coca cola ad where it's shot from the perspective of the person giving the bottle of coke.

the part that really annoys me is the girl getting proposed to. You know, you see her reaching for a bottle of coke and then a hand with a ring appears.

There's a shot then later of both him and her drinking the coke. both her hands are visible....but where's the ring?

When you hit the sack, very tired. Go to bathroom, have a pee, brush the gnashers and climb in between the nice clean sheets, and drowsily listen to the podcast you love.

FOR FIVE MINUTES....

because you need to pee again. How did that happen? And how TA is that!

Destroys all the lovely sleep mode big time.

bodhrandude

I suppose you could demand not to need a pee and stay in your bed. :pac:

Piss the bed....show your bladder who's boss :P

When you see the canteen have burgers/chicken burgers on the menu.
You're thinking 'oh lovely.'

You go up at dinner time to get them and there they are.

There big huge extra large jumbo buns,
with a **** little button of a burger inside

yep, and then you have to cut round the edge of the burger and cut the bread away so you feel like you've a massive burger after all... so annoying

When someone parks outside my driveway and I cannot get out of there.

Even with grease on either side of my jalopy. Stuck.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. And I don't know who owns the car either.

That is probably MORE than TA if I am being honest.

It is more than a TA..

Give the Garda a call..

S.I No 182/1997 Road Traffic (traffic and parking) Regulations 1997

36. (2) A vehicle shall not be parked—

( g ) in any place, position or manner that will result in the vehicle obstructing an entrance or an exit for vehicles to or from a premises, save with the consent of the occupier of such premises;

If you are in Dublin City give the clampers a call.. Got a car shifted for me..

Happened me before. Others were constantly blocking my drive and one night I needed to go collect my younger sister from work and couldn't get out. That was the night I had had enough. Called the guards and they gave the owner, who had a right attitude on him, a good going over. Never happened again.

Ugh I have a few friends like this. I just don't bother meeting them now. It drives me mad when people don't think to ask you a question. It's made me ridiculously aware of it when speaking to someone so now I ask too many questions.

I have a friend and an aunt like that. My aunt in particular is exceptionally bad. She will talk non stop about every aspect of her life, even down to the exciting nitty gritty of how her husband, her son and her daughter all like their spuds cooked and will not ask any one else how they are or what news they have. Seriously, what way they like their spuds cooked!!

Thank you, it is great to have a reference to legislation when calling the Guards.

I just did not know what to do except be very annoyed!

And it happened again, before your post. But I didn't need to go out so I just let it go at the time,

But... I took down the reg all the same! thank you.

My experience is the Garda won't come out if they are "busy" but take pictures and the reg number.. I got on to the councillor who gave me the direct number for the clampers. Called them, car was moved but back to square one now..

Its a TA that will get out of control and will just get worse if you don't nip it in the bud now.. I know! I let it go on too long!

Note the obstruction bit also.. If you have to do a 40 point turn manoeuvre to get into or out your drive, its obstruction.. Or so I was told..
