    There's a shop between Deansgrange and Blackrock that's trivally annoyed me for years now: this one.

    Zoom into the sign on each side, and compare them to the main sign. Is everybody being too polite to tell the owner? (very conceivable in this society) Am I the only one who even notices!

    I'm fairly sure I own at least 3 Stanley knives but I just had to cut up the cardboard box of a telly with a bread knife. (which tbf did the job)

    When you walk into a cafe and straight up to the counter. There will be waitress/server standing watching you as you walked in and as soon as you are within 3 feet of the counter and then....BANG..within 0.045 seconds: 'What can I get you?'.


    Jesus woman I only just got here give me an effing chance....in fact you literally stood there and just watched me walk in seconds ago....:mad::mad:

    The same people will close the door in the summer when its roasting

    When you are queuing up at the till in Tesco or wherever with your large weekly shop and naturally you will have other people doing likewise.

    What really pisses me off is when women (I have never seen a man do this) stand there as the groceries are being put through and then at the end are told the price but then and only then do they start the long rummage through there oversized handbag to find their purse. Taking an eternity to find their purse and then their brick sized purse must be opened (with all sorts of crap stuffed in there which is another rant in itself)- cue more rummaging.

    What is wrong with you? It is not like the cashier has caught you by surprise asking for payment.

    Oh and then...having paid...they begin the long and laborious process of:

    1. Putting change/bank card back in purse
    2. Closing said purse
    3. Putting said purse back in said handbag
    4. Then starts to have some random bull**** small talk about the weather with cashier.

    All seem to take an inordinate amount of time.

    My tolerance level is non existent.

    One of these days the incredibly slow woman in Eason's, Heuston will be the cause of me losing my mind and either being sectioned or locked up for murder.

    Went upstairs to the gym and it was locked, despite it opening at 8.30am. That fcuks up my plans for the day because now I have to go for a run later on instead of having it out of the way this morning like I had planned :rolleyes:

    A few years back a security guard at Dublin Airport at the scanning machine called me "Young man" and I proceeded to say "Thanks Old Man"- you should have seen the look on his face patronising fcuker.

    I'm convinced that there is an inverse relationship between the urgency with which handbag items need to be retrieved, and their depth in the bag - mainly purses and phones.

    This, when they spend ages on the bus rummaging for their purses and then pick out every. single. cent, for the driver, having already delayed by asking how much the fare is?, ITS ON THE FREAKING SHELTER WALL, and they've been waiting for the bus, locate your purse then!

    Work computer is short of storage, it pops up what seems to be hourly to tell me so, it wont let me work around it and I'm not authorised to do anything but input/surf etc. with it. Get the message computer!!!:mad:

    This voluntary school contribution bullsh1t. I have no problem paying for my son's education.
    Our school is collecting this voluntary contribution under the cover of the music program, which is fine and I also have no problem with it.
    I completely forgot paying it at the start of the year, it kinda drowned in the galore of payments the school needs.

    Now what does annoy me though is that the principal (she's doing a good job in fairness) rings me to remind me that I didn't pay it yet.
    I appreciate the reminder, you'll get the yo-yo's but isn't it a bit thick to "remind" people of a voluntary payment?!
