People who won't stop spamming about the referendum on facebook and twitter looking for a virtual pat on the back for doing the right thing. Its not all about you. I'll be voting yes but I won't be telling everyone about it.

when someone clearly has a problem with you, they calmly deny anything is wrong and walk away in a hurry, then you hear them bitching about you to someone else

not getting any sauces or napkins in your mcdonalds, and feeling scabby asking for them. burger king and KFC always lash tons of them in no bother.

when you were a kid and hiding in your room so you wouldn't have to talk to some visitors or estranged relatives, and your ma would blow your cover and purposely make it difficult for you, calling you down and making a scene if you didn't.

people hoovering when you're trying to sleep. loud telly in the morning when trying to sleep.

any type of lively social interaction in the morning.

not being able to hear people on the phone when out walking near traffic and cars shooting by. accidently missing calls cause the sun is blinding the phone screen and you cant find any shade to see the answer button.

constant bombardment of babies on faecesbook. the new father holding the baby with a big cheesy grin on his face, saying how proud he is, 8 pounds 65 ounces, the mother welcoming ''me lil angle'' to the world, you get the idea.... seeing this 20 times over kinda desensitises you to the whole thing where you almost resent it rather than welcome it.

Maybe stop looking at other people eating then, problem solved.

Not as bad as the guy in the downtrodden chipper we ended up in who cleaned his manky nails with his fork then proceeded to chow down on his grub.

also what is the deal with Radio stations all reading the news at the same time????? ive a 10 min drive to most destinations and to work, i wanna hear music, i dont want to have to spend most of the drive trying to find a station that isnt reading the fooking news :mad:

Oh that drives me demented too. Why do they all have to read the news at the top of the hour? It'd be great if some of them did it on the half hour. That way, you could switch back and forth between them, if you didn't want to have to listen to the effing news, that you have already heard 10 times already.

Following on from the 24hr/not 24hr pharmacy thing, it really pisses me off when pubs have signs up that say that they serve food all day, or from 12-9, inferring that you can always get something to eat between those hours. But if you go into them out side of the typical lunch or dinner time hours, they'll tell you that the cook doesn't come back on duty until 5pm, or the kitchen is closed 'till 6, or some such malarkey.

Pubs down the country are bloody terrible for doing that. If you stop serving food from 2-6pm, as there is no demand for it, that's fine. I get it. But at least take the bloody sign in from the car park or window, that says, "Serves food ALL day" and stop wasting my time ! :mad::mad::mad:

Beards. When will this fascination/obsession with ridiculous beards end? For the most part the majority of guys I see with beards look like fcukwits. The beard has to be in the top 5 least attractive things a man can wear. I can't bear to look at them anymore. I had to turn off Sky News because that fcukwit Rufus whatever the hell his name is, was on and had the most stupid looking handlebar mustache combined with a stupid bushy beard. Dear Jesus, please let the beard trend end.

I really don't understand why so many men want to imitate celebrities, it's like cloning at this point and shows a distinct lack of personality/individual style and is pathetic. Wearing a bad suit and sporting a bushy beard does not make you Conor whoever.

Stopped at traffic-lights I see a spider working his way down to my left; inside the window.
I open the window whilst watching the lights.
Just as I've caught the top of the web ; the spider starts swaying ; the lights go green and the spider drops .... inside my car.
#Damn him!


Still, it's not even 9am so can only get better

Tracksuit when you're not going to the gym would be one anyway.
Tats & earrings would be up there too.

The fashion beard thing is crap alright.

People on twitter that have locked their account (fair enough if it's to stop bots following them or they were getting abuse), I'm referring to "normal" folk who have a couple of dozen followers. If you're going to block your account what's the point of then using hashtags? Am I right in thinking that they won't show in the collection of tweets also using that hashtag?

whisky_galore

Using hashtags outside of Twitter.

I feel sorry for the men who always had a beard, way before this trend started. Now they look some sort of ageing hipster.

Like me.....althought the one benefit has been that when you go to the barbers, they'll throw in a beard trim for free.

Actually, my beard is annoying the sh*t out of me the past few days. I'll probably shave it off and start again this weekend.

Work colleague just cornered me at the printer...

"I'm fighting a bug. It might be an allergy. I ate a biscuit earlier. I'm waiting to see a gastroenterologist."

... no "Hi, how are you" or anything like that.

Couldn't get away until my report was ready so I had to stand there and listen to a litany of complaints!!!!

In fairness, one of my best mates is a gay guy who lives abroad temporarily. He's been away since 2011, but he'll be back in the next couple of years to settle down. This is still his home, and it will have an effect on his future, so I think it's fair enough if he wants to do a bit of remote campaigning.

I have a 'friend' who does this. Doesn't speak to me unless it's about herself and never asks how I am.

She asks for my advice, doesn't listen and when everything falls down around her, she won't speak to me because it's clearly my fault.

I've given up bothering with her now as has my best friend. It's sad but she will end up being friendless because people can't stand the way she acts.

She makes me angry!!!

I have no issue with remote campaigning. I have an issue with people putting the blame on us if it doesn't past when they can't be arsed to come home like many other Irish in the UK.

We don't have the right to vote from abroad. I don't have the cash to come home, especially as I'm moving home in 6 weeks' time. We're allowed have an opinion.

There is a difference between having opinions and blaming people if the vote doesn't go the way you want.

All of my mates here have more been begging people at home to vote, rather than laying blame.
Low voter turnout was the real concern in recent weeks, especially as historically with referenda it's the case. Hence the pressure to get people voting.

Wanting desperately to feel better emotionally, and knowing that getting up and doing stuff will probably help with that, yet feeling so defeated and low, and unable to do anything.

As$hole drivers! I was driving on a dual carriageway today, and moved into the right hand lane to overtake two trucks. I had checked before pulling into the lane, and could see a car back a good bit behind, so plenty time for me to change lane. Next thing the absolute gobsh1te is driving right on my tail, so close I couldn't see his bonnet, and could almost see the whites of his eyes in my rearview mirror. I was over the speed limit as it was, and approaching a bend in the road, yet this cretin is not letting up. Determined to bully me into driving faster, ha, I don't think so. He pulls over back into the left lane under the trucks and beeps the horn at me. I pray he gets a dose of the galloping trots tonight, and realises he has no toilet paper. I can't stand as$holes on the road:(
