The car (hand) wash in Cornelscourt, cars E8, jeeps E1 extra, FFS. why only Jeeps?

Ask them to Hoover your car for you as well

Radio presenters / Radio guests who (IMO) deliberately mispronounce words, maybe in the hope it'll 'catch on' ?
'Kildren' for children, or a lady guest on Newstalk yesterday who said 'Guvenile' for Juvenile, and southern accented folk pronouncing the number two as 'tueue' to give their accent a Northern twist, for some reason.
Oh yes, and folks (when being interviewed) begin an answer with "I mean"
Major TA

Can't say I have come across that kildren and guvinile thing. And curious as to why anyone would want to put a northern twist on a southern (whatever that is) accent.

Surreptitious

Getting onto British customer care teams who pretend you're speaking another language just cos you're Irish and being met with massive disdain to top it all off. Oh those filthy Irish.

Repeat an entire opening post because of course nobody knows what you are referring to. It's urine boiling when someone does repeat the entire opening post just to post one line. Just read an opening post, someone quotes the whole f**king thing to reply with 2 words and a smiley! For f**k sake!!!

carefulnowted

Radio hosts who constantly switch between English and Irish mid-sentence. Headwrecking.

That the English language version of the Irish constitution is different to the Irish language version, and where these differences exist it's the Irish one that takes precedence.

In effect the actual Irish constitution can not be read by the majority of the population.

loaning people items who when you ask for their return feign ignorance. lesson learnt.

Tell me how

Ads that have children speaking as adults. There's no way I can imagine a child having an informed view of the topic. It's like the people running it are thinking "who cares if it makes sense, it's cute". F off.

And possibly not by the majority of Supreme Court judges, who are the arbiters of what is/isn't constitutional!

When the Morning Ireland crew on RTE Radio One regularly say the wrong hour when giving out the time-checks. Happens with monotonous regularity.:(

The new Ikea ad, where the auld fella makes lunch for the kid.

Well at the end of the ad, he's all smiles, then eats some soup and then his expression changes completely like he's recalling some major tragedy that befell him.

Ah that really annoys me too. I have a few Americans on my FB friends list and they are always posting 'recipes' like that. Put some shop bought pastry into muffin tins, then put in the filling which was made from a packet, then bake. What's the point?

TA that I have to get on a plane tomorrow, so much hassle!

NIMAN

People who cry for freedom of speech, but only when it suits them.

Some girl was on Matt Coopers Last Word today wanting some South African preacher banned from coming to Ireland as she doesnt agree with his views on gay marriage etc.

She then added that loads of tickets had been sold for this appearance, so obviously she wants to decide for those people that they cannot hear this man speak.

I bet you she'd be the first one defending Charlie Hebdo's freedom to insult Muslims with offensive cartoons.

What the hell is the "smart uses Aer Lingus" ad designed to do? It's as annoying as the "Are we there yet" donkey from Bóthar's Christmas ad.

Lately with me its interviews.

TAd that my dream job came up, and I applied, and I got interviewed, and I did really well...but in practical terms we all agreed that I couldn't take the job because of the very long commute and that I am already committed to working two days a week elsewhere.

TAd that this two days I am doing for 3 years has now been formalised and I have to interview for it next week.

TAd that I have another important job interview the day after I leave with all my family for a holiday in France and that the training for the job takes place 2 days before I come home.

TAd I'm too young and broke to retire

This is actually way more than a TA. Someone I know drove him after drinking last night. Plus some other people I know were in the car with him. Absolute bloody idiots!!!!!

People talking about Christmas already.

I love Christmas but it's spoiled for me when the build-up begins in August.
By the time Christmas comes around I'm sick of it.

When I was a kid, you started getting excited around the first of December. It was magical because it was only a short period of festivity, but now it's starting earlier and earlier and it really takes the magic away from it.

Brown Thomas opened their Christmas shop the other day and it just made me feel sad for Christmas years ago when the tree went up in the middle of December and you didn't do your shopping until December 1st.

Why the rush to start festivities early?

I scowled at the display of tinned sweets and boxes of biscuits in my local supermarket yesterday, such was my anger!

I just met someone I used to work with. The person in question had a small kid with them, and as we exchanged pleasantries said person introduced the child.

Did ever hear a moniker so fcuking ridiculous that you get the urge to beat the living sh1t out of the parent for being such an attention seeking asshole.

We'd better be seeing a post from you pronto over in the 'Worst kid's names you've ever heard' thread or I will be very annoyed!

People who P.M you then have no storage space left when you reply to them.....:rolleyes:

People who bring an Irish flag to a sporting event and hang it in such a way that it looks fine to them, yet for everyone else, (and the to cameras) it looks like an Ivory Coast flag!

(And no, unless Ivorians have suddenly evolved to have red hair, freckles & the ability to burn lobster red, it is definitely Irish people with Irish flags)

1) People at the top of a queue who dose off and hold the rest of us up. Top of the queue = you're going to be called very, very soon. Stay alert.

2) People who refuse to park their car - usually an suv of some sort in this case - in a single car space and therefore take up two spaces in packed car parks. They should be clamped.

3) Shopping centres which refuse to provide parking spaces for people with young babies. Have any of you tried to squeese a baby into its car seat when hemmed in by another car? Are we supposed to put the baby on our lap, drive into the traffic lane, stop and block the other cars and then get out with them and strap them into their seats? Or should we just put the baby in the boot with the shopping?

4) People who can't manage the evidently dexterous task of driving up to the exit barrier to a position where they can physically put their paid parking card into the slot and consequently after many stretches while we all wait end up walking over to said slot.

5) Shopping. See all above.
