It is very difficult to wind me up. I only get wound up when I feel like someone who is supposed to care about me is purposely trying to get a rise out of me. This situation almost never happens to me but when it does, it really pisses me off:

When someone starts an argument with you, and you calmly succeed in pointing out to them clearly and concisely why what they're saying is completely incorrect, and so they've run out of things to come at you with, so then they say something like "You're being argumentative / over-defensive" to try and make you look bad, because they've been proven 100% wrong and have nothing else to say.

I really hate that passive aggressive sh*t, especially when it's a friend who's doing it.

e.g. this conversation that happened last week with a friend

Them: "I think [insert claim about me and how I live my life here]"
Me: *gives clear evidence as to why this is incorrect*
Them: "Okay well I think [insert another claim about me and how I live my life here]"
Me: *gives clear evidence as to why this is incorrect*
Them: "Well I think no matter what I say you're going to be over-defensive."
Me: *screams inside, because now there's absolutely nothing I can say without them "winning" that argument*

So they've knowingly wound me up, I've defended myself, and they've tried to make me look aggressive for defending myself. Am I not meant to? Am I meant to just say "Yeah, you're right" even when what they're saying is completely factually incorrect? Or am I meant to just ignore what they're saying? If I ignored them, they'd say "Why are you ignoring me?"

Argh. I really hate that.

These latest Suicide Prevention "copy and paste" statuses on Facebook.

Because nothing is more effective at alleviating the taboo associated with the problem than people sharing it on FB solely for the "likes" and attention.

People who constantly complain about facebook in myriad ways. Just fckin quit it. My life has improved immesuarably since I did.

How come so many teens have tattoos these days ? I have nothing against tattoos at all, have some myself. I always thought you had to be over 18 to get one. Anyway my TA is my 15 yr old showing me photos on Facebook of the latest in her age group to get a tattoo, and damning me to be allowed to get one. Over my dead body at 15 !

I hate driving. I have loser plates which might explain it but I actually think other drivers are complete morons!

Driving home from work today and I see a car at the roundabout holding everyone up and telling them to go around him. I got to the roundabout and he pulled out in front of me. A minute later we come to another roundabout and the absolute idiot stops at the top of the roundabout and gestures for me to go around him! To make matters worse, it was on a hill and I conked out like a twit. What the hell was he thinking stopping to have a look around at the bloody roundabout!

And people who drive at about 6 kilometres an hour on a 100kmph road. Hurry up you snail!!

To be honest a lot of drivers are oblivious to what is going on around them, I don't know whether they don't care about the wellbeing of other road users or are they unaware of their obligations under the rules of the road.

Oblivious is a good word, I was driving up the N7 this morn, (5.30ish) a Renault scenic driving in the second overtaking lane (third one) for ages, no one in front or beside it , I was in the left popped the indicator on to overtake a lorry as I did the Renault decided to move left, no indicator just moved over, frightened the sh1t out of me :eek:, beeped it overtook it and back into the left lane and it moved back into the feckin third lane again, where's the traffic corp, when you want it..:mad::mad:

It absolutely infuriates me when you're on a 100kmph road and someone ahead of you insists on doing 80kmph, or 70kmph, or 60kmph, or else they're a tractor or other slow vehicle, and so you're stuck behind them, and sometimes a long line of traffic builds up behind them - AND THEY NEVER BOTHER PULLING IN TO THE SIDE TO LET US PASS!!

How about, every ten minutes or so, since you insist on going so slowly, you pull in and let the rest of us pass by?! Fine if YOU want to go that slowly, fine, go ahead, but I always think how dare you FORCE the rest of us to drive at this speed too!?! when you have plenty of opportunities to pull in and let a few of us pass by!

It is the absolute height of ignorance and arrogance and always boils my blood.

P.S. You saying "Hurry up you snail!!" made me laugh

Why is it that the dopes that drive at 60 on a main road suddenly speed up on approaching a roundabout, where they are actually meant to be doing 50/60 ?? I
see it the whole time on the main road into town. Infuriating .

Why is it that most shows featuring cooking is it that the concept of wearing any form of hat or hairnet is totally foreign.

TAed today at overweight men in Liffey Valley stuffed into skinny jeans and tight Ts. No mirrors?
But whatever about that, I really hate the men who actually fit into these clothes and look good. Ba$tdards!

Going to the local pool on the women-only night only to realise that the session is a complete and utter free for all - no lane marked at all and absolutely impossible to get any sort of a decent swim in. Seems like they think that women are happy to aaccept mediocrity - newsflash, I'm not.

We also get people applying to do a PhD in the lab I used to work from. Some people expected to be handed the job. Out of 23 applicants only two read the papers involved. Another girl wanted me to help her prepare for an interview. I was in a cafe 5 mins walk from her when she text asking to meet. I told her where I was and she replied "too far"!!

I really think some of today's generation is spoiled silly.

Not today's generation but applied to a PhD last year and after getting an interview spent about 2 weeks reading up on the area and through the groups papers and associated topics.

Didn't get it probably because the spec which said "comfortable/familiar (something like that anyway) using computers/IT" actually meant knowing SQL, python* and R.

So my TA is being reminded of those time wasting b@stards that don't write up a proper role description.

*may have been Mathlab they would have liked rather than python

your driving along a national road, speed limit is 80 km/h, your behind a car, who's doing 70-75 km/h, no big deal, your getting where you are going.

You see a Garda speed check ahead, so the car in front decides "better slow down to 50km/h, just in case"

I am trivially annoyed at how the presenters on Shannonside-Northern Sound pronounce "Northern" as "Northeren".

In an Aircoach trying to get to the airport, but Dublin centre is a log jam of Dublin Buses. Why are all the buses being funnelled through just a few streets, half of which are closed for LUAS works? Looking around College Green / Dame St. Area, easily 40+ Dublin Buses, all blocking each other.

Drivers not knowing they can use bus lanes outside of the posted hours. Grrrr.

Taxi drivers giving out to you for using the bus lanes when you are perfectly entitled to..

What are those?

slow people walking on footpaths that dont let you overtake them!
also people with buggies that dont even attempt to make themselves less of a nuisance mainly in shops around christmas etc blocking up whole aisles

What's more TA is when you are in the bus lane out of hours, and these people who don't know the rules decide to police the bus lanes by driving half in it on purpose so you cannot go by.
Or the guys who gesticulate at you with a big fuming head on them.

Acronyms that I come across on boards and I don't understand so I have to go off and google them but somehow I never remember what they stand for and I have to go off and google them again. FWIW, IIRC, STEM, the list goes on...

What on earth is STEM??? Bet I'm going to be embarrassed that I don't know what it is

Today at the supermarket , I needed one lime and one red onion. Not a hope! There were none loose, only a bag of 3 limes, that I begrudgingly bought as they will get used. There was only a big bag of red onions, that I left there, highly annoyed. There were too many people around for me to bust open a bag and just take one. So goddamn annoying

Ah there's no need to be embarrassed at all, I just googled it again because I always forget :pac:

It is Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. I kept reading it on a thread about equality and that there aren't a lot of women working in STEM areas and I was so annoyed that I didn't know what STEM stood for but I was too lazy to google it :P

As a blow in, a relatively well spoken blow in, to the Shannon Side/ Northern Sound area the pronunciation on that station drives me nuts.
Aubergine= Orrburjeen
Tubridy = Turberdee
Saturday = Saherdeeeee
Bottom= Bohom

And then theres the 'TH's. They simply dont exist. Try booking a ticket in Backstage Teeitter of a Saherdee.
