Things That Trialvilly Annoy You.

Widdershins

The disgusting bad manners some people have of putting words in your mouth. eg. I said "there was lots of different sports at school" and got a condescending lecture about the benefits of sports. I didn't say it was a negative thing?! I think I see what mansplaining is now

Widdershins

Re smoking, not worth devating anyway but perhaps people should look to their own vices instead.

A big TH is anyone who claims to be a nonsmoker or light smoker but in reality just smokes everyone else's cigarettes. That'd be a scrounging mean liar and a smoker then.

No you don't. Mansplaining is when a man condescendingly explains something to a woman that he (usually correctly) thinks she doesn't know due to her smaller brain.
I would never do it myself of course but now you know what mansplaining actually means Widdershins.

When people say the director when they name a famous movie e.g. Hitchcock's Psycho or Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Trying to be a know-all but they never say the director of a less-rated film because they don't know their name.

I have to laugh at the people in the US dying from vaping- yes you heard me.

Not such a bad idea. If smoking is going to kill you anyway then just cut to the chase by cutting out the long agonizing death and burden on the health system. Result.

Laughing at anyone dying speaks volumes of your moral character. Obviously you didn't have a strong upbringing. But being an adult, you should know right from wrong and a general compassionate compass. I've no respect for you based on that. You should be ashamed of yourself but I've a feeling your not which makes all more tragic.

Thanks Guy. I feel sufficiently baffled by bullsh1t to not worry my pretty little head about it now.

Yep. The kind who follows you out to the smoking area and puffs OPs (other people's) one after another all night. They only do " when I'm having a drink"
Well FO and stop drinking cos its costing me a fortune!
I lace on a nicotine patch and pretend I have none

When a D.J puts "Mr" before the artists name....., Never says Mrs or Miss.


When pundits pluralise players names as in "The Paul O'Connells, the David Beckhams" etc why?


When "Gate" is put at the end of a word when there's a sniff of a scandal, Why? (I know it stems from Watergate hotel) but kinda irrelevant nowadays if todays young folk even heard about it.

Just watched Watchdog on BBC. Why are the Rogue Traders always Irish scumbags? The less-travelled viewers must think we are all dodgy business owners.

I tripped and fell this morning on my run and have a big bruise on my left upper leg. My right shoulder is still sore too.
Now no matter which side I lie on I am uncomfortable.

So tired working long hours this week and now gonna be in the weekend. Thankfully deadline is Monday

Just when Ireland looks like a modern, progressive country, they drag us back with nonsense like this.

I know if I had been 'at the ploughing' and someone had asked me "what's your favourite prayer" I'd have told them to feck off.

TA at the anti-smoking generalisations going on here!

Believe it or not, not every smoker is a selfish, disgusting creature. I often carry around cigarette ends in my jeans pockets when there isn't an ashtray available. I never throw cigarette ends out of my car window. I would never be so thoughtless as to stand in a doorway to a public building and smoke.

Obviously, some smokers do. But why tar us all with the same brush (pun intended)?

I wouldn't tar every smoker with the same brush at all, but there are certain scenarios when the habit stands out as gross.

Earlier, I was in a waiting room in one of the suites in St.Vincent's and two sisters sat down beside me after been out for a fag, and in that confined space, the smell was vile. The irony is, they were waiting on word from their mother who was in getting a mammogram-I wonder is she a smoker too!

One of them then had to show the other a video of some fella cursing, and of course didn't have the decorum to turn the volume down a notch. A lad ****ing and ****ing out of him echoing across the entire room. They could be described as "howiyas" though so maybe their lack of manners was understandable.

Just saw a vaper blow a lungfull of smoke directly into the face of a little boy going to school. Probably not done intentionally but completely oblivious to how disgusting it is and smells.

Widdershins

Hate complaining about colloquialisms and expressions as there's bound to be at least one lovely person I know who says the particular phrase but flipping hell I hate when people say "whilst".

I saw a father sneeze directly in to his child's face outside Stillorgan Shopping Centre the other day. The child, about 6 years old actually wiped her face with her hand after. How disgusting and selfish some parents are.

Smokers tend not to notice our own stench. I once gave up for a couple of months and was totally amazed by how strong and disgusting the smell of cigarette smoke was on people who had recently smoked.

As for these two creatures you had the misfortune to share a confined space with, I strongly suspect they would be just as vile whether they smoked or not (although admittedly they may have smelled sweeter )

It's like smokers who chew on mints after a fag. Newsflash....it makes no difference and just makes you smell cheap and nasty. Who are they kidding....that's a TA.

I'm looking at my mother in law. No shame about smoking, leaving fag butts in our garden bin.

Depressingly, she has had a cancerous growth removed already, has an aortic aneurysm which could burst any day (when and if it does she is dead before she hits the floor) but does she give up smoking? Does she care about her loyal husband, children and grandchildren? Like **** she does as long as she gets her 'stinky sticks' (g/children's name for it) and not to mention the burden on the health service.

Selfish despicable women.

Aglomerado

2 German prycks deciding to sit at my table where I am having a beer. There are other tables free I noticed a few minutes later but no they wanted mine.
They have a drink and ask to pay and then wonder why they were charged for mine as well. The waiter had to go in and change the bill. If they'd asked me I would have paid for my own drink in the same transaction.
Also what is the deal with that anyway. If I see no free tables I'll just go to the next bar. I never ask to sit with anyone.

I hate using the ashtray in my car. On long drives, I wedge a half fell bottle of water into the cup holder and use that to put out the cigarette. Then empty the bottle at the soonest possible chance. God, it looks horrible

Ppl leaving me snippy messages now, when Ive been trying to cement a meeting dates since early summer.
To avoid this exact senerio, I sent a message three weeks ago in case the request had gotten lost in the mix.

Another ta, got the run around at a semi state, finally got the right person, who ignored my request for over a week but TA-DA manged to find the info in 30 minutes after being remineded of it yesterday. All she had to do was to input some numbers and sign it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know the smoking posts are probably annoying everyone at this stage, but just one more gripe:

I buy a pack of 29 cigarettes every day (a pack of 20 just isn't enough). The pack costs me €15.50 and of this, the government receive €12.245 apparently (79%).

I've bought a hell of a lot of cigarettes over the past 40 years, and have therefore contributed an absolute fortune to the government coffers. This is on top of the PAYE I've paid all my working life (I've never been unemployed apart from a two month spell when I first came to live in Ireland 30 years ago).

So when non-smokers moan about the amount of health costs caused by smoking, they should sit back in their sweet-smelling cocoon of smugness and consider that as smokers have paid far, far much more additional tax, we have actually paid much more for our health care than they have done!

Also, we tend to die a lot sooner, so aren't as much of a drain on health budgets and resources as clean living, health conscious people.

Oh well that's alright then. Don't suppose you have any figures to back up the notion that tax income from smokers exceeds the healthcare costs?

Surprised the Gov does not encourage more people to take up smoking in that case.

You are forgetting that treating smoke related illnesses diverts resources (not just money) and manpower away from research and finding cures for say, cancer, motor neuron disease etc etc.

But anyway we should move on...we both have our positions that will not change.

Vodafone called me yesterday with a great new offer on my pay as you go deal.

Eh- I am with 3 mobile this past 2 months, no longer with Vodafone, and my phone bills get paid by my employer.

It would be a good sales person to get me to switch from there...

It was very clearly leg/thigh marks. So unless there was a SERIOUS malfunction at 9am this morning and the lady is even mankier than I thought, it was tan.
