The use of 'at' as in "where are you at?" instead of just "where are you?". Some might argue that it is correct but not me!!:mad:

Or "was sat" instead of "was sitting".

When the singer's with the best, famous love songs have a crap love life. It's disappointing but always the way. Like the couple's with the showiest romance never last as long.

I have a little dog (half pug, half something else), she's a lovely thing, I like her a lot, however she has this incredibly annoying and dangerous habit of scuttling/running around my feet/ankles when I'm walking around the kitchen - absolutely terrifed I'm going to accidentally step on her and crush or at the very least trip over her while I'm carrying a knife or big pot of boiling water or something some day :eek:

I got a wedding invitation today.
Bad enough that it was from someone I have not had any encounter with for years nor do I need to. Don't even have this person's current address or phone number or any social media interaction.
But it was clearly an afterthought to invite me as the rsvp date is 2 weeks ago.
Don't know if I will even go to the bother of a decline rsvp because of that.

I will go to my grave still puzzled at how so many people fail to grasp the fundamental physics of dishwasher loading.

In cases too where they do that, fûck off home on a Friday for the weekend still logged in and any of the rest of their colleagues who need those files to edit on Saturday are screwed.... last job there was one auld fella, late 50s who’s was a fûcker for this... my idea was to log the info on a separate spreadsheet and have him do it on Monday....of course I got...” ahhh he’s not very computer savvy, not his fault “.

The use of Xmas instead of Christmas.

Christmas freaks that call you Grinch or Scrooge and act like you hate Christmas just because you don’t think the run-up should begin until early December at least.

I absolutely love Christmas, but the law of diminishing marginal utility quite clearly dictates that if we begin in early November we’ll have expended all of our Christmasiness and be sick of it come the actual day.
So it is because I love Christmas that preparations ought not begin till the 8th, regardless of what the nuts would say.

"X" is a valid way of abbreviating "Christ".

So yeah, you're using religious terminology.

Well, I'm using a letter, if we want to be pedantic about it. I mean, its also an acceptable signature but I'm not using it as short for 'Big Joe Joyce' or anything.

Moochers who don't pay their turn in our euromillions syndicate

That’s crap, people who are like that are always the very first to be messaging shît like... “ohhh great, how much did we win ? When is the payout?” If you get a few numbers up..

People who leave 2 spaces after a full stop. What is that all about and why oh why were you the one that did all of our template letters?

It’s a style choice and perfectly valid. I do it in formal written communications.

Listening to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins in the car this morning and not being able to do air drums when the drum bit comes in because I was driving. A little part of me dies every time I don't mime the drums to that song.


Also TA at being laughed at by a pretty lady when our cars were beside each other in stopped traffic and she saw me belting out Sussudio with all the passion I could muster.....:o:(

Widdershins

Oh my god I love In the air tonight.


TA when my tone of voice inexplicable comes off wrong. I sounded like I was cruelly complaining about my rescued, elderly dog when I meant it in a sympathetic way. Not helped by the wrong choice of word. I meant to say that the dog is suffering from canine dementia but instead I called her demented which doesn't sound great! Wouldnt have taken the dog in if I was like that would I?!

And bigger TA is that some kinds of people are all too quick to see you in the worst possible light no matter how much you gave them the benefit of the doubt when you could have judged them harshly.

People will let you down more often than not I find. There's plenty of great decent people in this world but unfortunately in day to day life you're going to run into or have to deal with some untrustworthy ones.

In a way it's a TH because I've been spoilt with good people so I'm not equipped for that kind of thing. True though, part and parcel of life

Spilling tea down my shirt. I’m old enough, and experienced enough, to know how to drink tea, this shouldn’t happen.

Sgt Hartman

People who take too long at the sugar and condiments section in a coffee shop. And they take up the entire area, completely oblivious to the fact that other people are waiting for them to stop their selfish dithering and GTFO

Probably more than trivial but it makes me mad when men think it is acceptable to knock on my car window! It has happened several times over say the past year – few examples I can remember, one where there was a van blocking a car park entrance so I waited behind him for him to move – he came over to bang on my window with the usual “you’ve loads of room there love, what’s your problem? Etc.”. Even though he was the one illegally parked and it would have been me in trouble had I squeezed by and scraped his van. Another where I was sitting in my parked car after work, sending a text before I started the car, and a guy banging on the window to tell me he “wanted to park there”. Like, you f*cking wouldn’t bang on my window if I was another man!


edit also TA the random size of this post

There's an add campaign for cleaning dog poop on the radio. Some woman whose shoes have been destroyed etc. The ad starts with a couple of piano notes and for some reason that part really annoys me. It's just 8 notes but it is maddening.

Me.
Specifically as a motorist.
I know that every time I go out in the car that, most likely, I will encounter someone being selfish, reckless, hesitant, unobservant or downright nasty.
I know that this is highly probable.
Why can't I just let it go? Why do I always get angry?
I wish I could be that easy going, patient, doesn't give a fcuk motorist.

TA is Phil Collins releasing a 3CD Singles Collection which includes ALBUM versions of every song. No radio edits, no 7” mixes, no single versions. Pointless.

Same! One minute I will let someone out and enjoy that warm fuzzy altruism high when they acknowledge - those flashing thank you hazards really get me! And then a mile down the road, I'll be losing time off my lifespan silently (or perhaps not silently) cursing the slow driver in front. I make no sense :pac:

Loafing Oaf

The way they pronounce 'Kiev' at the impeachment hearings. Most annoying Americanisation of a word since saying 'niche' as 'nitch':mad:

Lazy clichés in report writing. And use of stupid phrases like "chow down" instead of eat. Also, pretentious wánkery food in restaurants - "cut fruit"- I hardly expected you to bring me a whole pineapple... "deconstructed" anything. "Smashed eggs" or "smashed avodao". And as for wilted - well that's just feckin out of date isn't it?

Also, the way something flies off high street shelves when a royal is seen wearing it. Even more sad (and weird) is people dressing their babies the same as royal ones - is your own flesh and blood not cute and perfect enough already without you treating it like some kind of Tesco value royal doll? Just obsession with royalty and celebrities in general is pathetic.

The stalls on Henry street selling wind up, light up, yapping dogs, Mrs Browne's t-shirts, fake perfume sets and Christmas stockings from the 80's.

Dunnes Stores getting above itself with it's overpriced "Edit" and Paul Costello stuff. No I will not pay sixty quid for a manky man-sized "blouse" that ties at the neck.

When the person in front of you overtakes a cyclist really slowly, staying on the wrong side of the road for far too long, and also ensuring that you cannot overtake it until they pull in again because they are blocking your view also.

People driving too close behind me. I WILL slow down until you get the message. I do not fancy being rear ended if I need to slow down for something unexpected! I'm not even a slow driver!
