    Stupid drivers who are in two minds about pulling out into the road, or crossing over. Instead of waiting, or carrying out the manoeuvre fast and safely, they compromise by crawling slowly in front of traffic and thereby maximising their potential for a crash.

    Either wait until I'm gone past you, or get out of my fcuking way if you decide to commit. Right I'm off to work on the punching bag now, HULK SMASH!

    TA'd going to work this morning and leaving my little dog, even though she would have given anything (and me too) to spend the day together. I'm sitting here thinking of the glorious day we could have had. I would have packed a picnic for both of us (babybel, olives, French fancies and chilled white wine for me, and kibble, smoked ham and chilled water for her), a blanket and some pooh bags. We would have found a nice forest somewhere and spent the day exploring and being at one with nature and then had our picnic in the afternoon.

    Instead, I have to work with people who talk back and aren't remotely cute.

    TA - adulting.

    Also TA the feckers are back leaving big spaces between their cars this morning so I couldn't get a space. Tosspots. I'm going to park a 40 ft there tomorrow and block them all.

    Stupid fly this morning wouldn't get out of the house. I opened the window to let him out and the cat jumped out instead. Then he got caught in a web but I felt sorry for the poor fecker buzzing helplessly so I got a bit of paper and released him and he flew out the window gratefully, to buzz away another day.

    TA I feel bad I have a hungry spider on my conscience.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,318 ✭✭✭Vel


    Waiting to be served at the counter in a coffee shop and rather than wait until he is free to come over and serve me the barista guy shouts over from the coffee machine asking me what I want. I thought it was probably easier for him to do it that way as he can make my order while he is there but hen then strolled over with the coffee he was making to give it to the customer before me, so he could have asked for my order then. Plus I wasn't looking for anything that required his fancy barista skills! Plus, plus there were other servers there anyway who were monetarily engaged so it wasn't like they wouldn't have got to me eventually

    I bought a box of chocolates for the office. It was a big box of Nestle. I left on the press beside our team and anyone walking past was free to have some

    Someone from another team took the box and brought way down the office to her team

    Everyone was free to take chocolates but to take the box?!? Bloody cheeky :mad:

    Reminds me of a trivial annoyance of mine yesterday - I was in town and as I was starting up my bike, this guy walked past me and said "that's a very big bike... for a girl".
    My response was "nobody fucking asked you, where's your bike Mr. Opinionated???" In my head I was thinking HULK SMASH!!!

    Another trivial annoyance (just to make sure I've done my penance), I cannot stand it when there's a radio playing and it's not properly tuned in. You can hear some of the songs and some of the talking but with ssszzzz over them and every now and then the radio makes a loud crackling noise when someone walks by it. Another HULK SMASH moment.

    TA'eed I lost 45 mins of a packed day cause I asked the person who took a help request if the person named in the request was m/f?(when fb and reg of electors, name didn't make it clear). Wagon goes to HR to say I am sexist and insensitive to gender fluid ppl.
    Got the lecture, even tho had I arrived to the meeting with the requester with the wrong info, then I would still be wrong!

    The fúcking hipster gobshíte at the salad bar at lunch time. They had all these samples of smoothies up on the counter for people to take free of charge. Now, I'd never take anything, free or otherwise that is displayed openly as hundreds of scummy humans walk past it sniffling, breathing, coughing, shedding their dead skin cells etc onto it, but this guy really took the píss. He was asking the girl working behind the counter something about his precious sandwich or no doubt instructing her as to it's construction and the particular snow-flake signature "change" he had to make to it, but rather than actually raise his precious voice, he decided to lean across the counter and practically dip his fúcking hipster beard into the samples! Oh my God what a tool. How lacking can someone actually be in self-awareness? Gobshíte.

    I get kind of TA'd at beards myself but I put that down to my late father - an ordinary blue collar working Joe who shaved every day 7/365 and condidered any man who didn't do the same to be the ultimate in laziness. (and it really TA'd him!)

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,387 ✭✭✭eisenberg1


    The woman down the street with the very annoying, fake American accent. Her husband is American and she has visited the US maybe twice. She bangs on about vacations, and people leaving baby strollers on the goddam sidewalk.

    Jeez, enough with the sh1t already!

    The fella who gave me driving lessons before my test had a mad american accent. A really distinctive voice. When I was doing my driving test all I could hear was his voice in my head.
    "Indicate left"
    "Check mirrors".
    "Make sure it is safe" etc.

    Years later I was told that he had never left ireland in his life and was just a bit eccentric. Bless.

    The point is that there is an inverse relationship between the quality of the song and the number of backing dancers. :)

    "And I marched right down there and gave the bloody bitch a right good piece of my mind, educated her on proper office etiquette & took MY chocolate back to the department/floor/office for which they were bought. And oh yeah, I extracted a promise form her that she would bring in a box of chocs tomorrow and, she would offer them to my team first, to apologise for her incredible rudeness of the day before, whereby she deprived them of the life altering power and goodness of MY chocolate..."

    Trivially VERY annoyed (as opposed to "very trivially annoyed") by the fact that even reading or thinking the word 'yawn' makes me yawn. Damn you all.

    Also, slightly TA, a fair bit impressed, but mostly embarrassed, by the fact that one of the shops assistants in a supermarket I was in over two months ago to ask for a specific type of chocolate, when I went in again today remembered both me and the specific chocolate I had asked for the last time I was there. I hadn't been in there, not even once, since March. It would appear my sweet tooth is memorable. :rolleyes::mad:

    White chocolate with cocoa nibs. And salted dark chocolate. Fair trade one, too.

    My other BIG Annoyance - I need to do a few bits in the garden, but every time my father calls to the house and I'm not around, half of my tools go missing, and my trees start missing branches. He swears he has nothing to do with it. Sure. Coincidence. Or little green men from space.

    The ''coke and hookers'' stuff on AH. I've no idea where it comes from and it's repetitive and tacky. Sometimes TA at the amount of film and tv references that go right over my head too. And the word 'Movie'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,208 ✭✭✭Lady is a tramp


    I killed a crow today. :( Well really, my car did. Well really, the crow killed itself. I was driving along the dual carriageway (under the speed limit) and it flapped it's way up in front of my windscreen, and kind of suspended itself there midair trying to decide what direction to go, braking or swerving wasn't an option cause with cars behind me and coming in the other lane it would've caused an accident. So it hit my windscreen and bounced onto the windscreen of the oncoming car (thank god they didn't swerve either) and I reacted totally appropriately, I mean I couldn't have done anything to prevent it but the big *THUNK* of it hitting my windscreen is replaying again and again in my head. :( The guilt of it! I think s/he was a bit dazed with the heat. Hope s/he doesn't have kids. :(

    RIP crow.

    I heard an ad on the radio for a business and it left out the word 'the'.
    So it said something along the lines of 'visit our showroom at something street opposite post office'.

    Say 'the' you cnuts. You can't just say 'opposite post office', this isn't fcking emmerdale.


    Then I was in a shop and there were two youngfellas, late teens - early twenties.
    Lanky of course - thats ok.

    But one of the fckers was wearing these pinkish shorts. WTF. Pink colored shorts.

    Not even long Bermudas, no, 1970's olympics style ball-sack-peepers.
    Fcking San-Francisco gay-pride-float, lube me up sailor things, like something Elton John would pick for Dieter or Sven along with a value pack of poppers and some baby wipes.

    AND he had these long, smooth tanned legs. Like a fcking miss world contestant.
    And he's just walking round like that AND still throwin youngfella shapes with his mate.

    Thats not allowed. Either be gay or straight, but you can't go around acting like Jayo Mc'Stanley-knife while wearing the ostentatious gettup of a south american drag act.
