The point swimming was making is that you will be catered for regardless of insurance. No waiting list for cancer care.

Yes that's it, I always thought there was not waiting list for cancer care but it made me doubt myself. A very misleading advert.

People who put your change on the counter when your hand is outstretched.

If it's good enough for you to take money out of, you can bloody well put the money back into it.

Fair enough if either party is busy during he exchange and money gets put in the counter.

Fcukwits, again. I got woken in the early hours by drunken fcukwits starting a house party down the street and I had to close the bedroom window and swelter in the humidity all night. Pisses me off so much as Thursday night is the last night before each weekend were I can leave the window open. Friday through Sunday nights I have to put in ear plugs and shut the window, hoping that fcukwit and pals next door will feck off somewhere else and not have a fricking party. Bunch of wan*ers.:mad:

Slugs. It must be the time of year for the annual invasion of the slugs. Wee slimey bollixes have been eating their way thru my plants!

I swept the floors till I broke a sweat. Yet when I start mopping, sly, sneaky bits of dirt materialised all around. Also the squeezer part of the mop bucket kept lifting up with the mop every time. By the time the dog has been in, and the little one has spilt juice or something it will be like it was never cleaned anyway. I hate housework. Nobody ever notices what's done anyway. The only thing that gets me through are the thoughts of my next life in which I will live in a mansion and have cleaners. I'm too good for this sh1t !!

I spray a bit of WD40 around the rim of the plant pots, the snails fall off and can't get to the plants, also wrapping an inch wide strip of tin foil around the pots works really well too and doesn't harm animals/birds.:)

Because birds and hedgehogs then eat the slugs, and in turn are also die, horribly.

Slugs traps re a much better idea, imo.

You're allowed two repititions and then you sink or swim

Packaging that's ridiculously hard to remove/open. Just spent the best part of 10 minutes trying to 'activate' a bottle of squeezy soap.. you know, where you have to twist the top in a certain direction and the thing pops up and you can use it. Only the damn thing wouldn't pop up. I got it eventually though.

Also annoyed by the huge amount of temps in work right now due to fiscal year end. There are just too many people around, it's noisy and the toilets are a mess!

I often try to get out of the car without taking off my seatbelt. So annoying

I sometimes wonder how Michael Douglas didn't batter Karl Malden in "The Streets of San Francisco" for every time Karl Malden calls him 'buddy boy', every bloody time, 'buddy boy' this, 'buddy boy' that... I'd be driven spare! :pac:

Speaking of being driven spare - school sports day today and I had volunteered to help them out with supervision and what not. Most of the children were great, but there's always one or two brats, had to shout at one young lad to put down the rock just as he was winding up to let fly through a window, he near shat himself before he composed himself and comes out with "You're not a teacher!"...

Whatever we're paying teachers, it's not enough to have to put up with mouthy little brats like that! :rolleyes:

I know how much people using the term 'my other half' grates me (been there, done that), but just been reminded of the existence of 'my better half'. Argh!!!

Adults who allow teenagers to drink. A large group of teens passed our house earlier, most of them carrying slabs of beer/cider and talking about the party they're having later and getting stoned etc. They all look about Leaving Cert age, so presumably their parents are letting them get drunk tonight to celebrate the first week of LC being over, then again it could just be soemone's birthday. I don't get it, it's ridiculous carry on.

What's worse speaking in the collective i.e "we like to do this...", "We like to do that...."

I've a set, a friend gave to me as a thank you, lovely, fancy containers, one for soap, one hand cream. One of these days, I will win the battle to get them open.

Yes, I've tried that too. It doesn't work for me anyway.

Yes, in situations where it is not even relevant especially!

And, like, you ask somebody where they're going, or what they're doing, or are they off on holidays etc... and the answer is 'we're going to xxxx'.

No, I asked about you. You are an individual human being. You may have another person going with you. You may even be in a relationship with that person. But I asked about you, and 'I am going to xxxxx' works just as well, thank you very much...

I hate that expression, 'my better half'. It sounds like your balls/tits are in a vice and are never getting out.
Some people seem to lose the concept of individuality once they sleep with the same person more than twice!

People who complain about every little thing especially when it's about a service someone you know has done. It was perfect for everyone else except the seriel complainer. Ugh so annoying.

All those news stories about the "head transplant": they're not planning to replace the head, only the body, so it'll be a "body transplant".

Used to work with someone like that. 'Maybe it's just me, but...' (Subtext: you plebs would think this was okay, unlike special old me) :mad:...

I think some people think it makes them sound like they are used to SO much better, when probably the opposite is the case.

This is it exactly! These people think they are better than everyone. The type of people who look you up and down when they meet you. But they're just rude and not many people like them.

That was exactly what that person used to do. And while she had good points, she was actually rude. One of those 'I speak my mind' types, and if that meant running some poor devil, who didn't deserve it, into the ground, she didn't care, because she was just 'speaking her mind'.

People whose facebook profiles are just them constantly sharing advertisement competitions with you.

Go away. Glad I have few of these as friends, and hide most of them from newsfeed.

None taken Colser, the one time I was inside in the delivery room, I realised why it's not a good idea to be in there unless you have any business in there!

I'd much rather have been standing outside with a cigar, than inside in the delivery room wearing a white shirt when the nurse asked me did I want to hold the baby... I looked at the baby, then at my shirt, then at the nurse and thought, "****!" :pac:

They sure are, and competitive too!

The sports day yesterday I was expecting a bit of rough and tumble with the lads, but the girls were equally rough! The amount of times I had to tell them wait until I get out of the way when I was throwing in the hockey puck, and then the obstacle course I was putting back up the obstacles, and I'd say if I didn't get out of the way in time I'd have been trampled! :eek:

On a similar theme, the expression 'fall pregnant' has always annoyed me. It sounds as if someone accidentally tripped on an erect penis, while wearing no knickers.

Why is it always the girl has to explain those "falls":(
Nothing about the fella that was handcuffed and shackled to a bed before being attacked with a kebab

Reminds me of one of my favourite West Wing quotes:

Sam: About a week ago I accidentally slept with a prostitute.
Toby: [pause] Really?
Sam: Yes.
Toby: You accidentally slept with a prostitute?
Sam: A call girl.
Toby: Accidentally?
Sam: Yes.
Toby: I don't understand. Did you trip over something?
