What annoys you?

[aido_b]

Whats the most annoying thing that happened to ya in the past while?

I was running for a bus today and just as I got to it the ****** drove off with a big smile on his face!

[Peadar]

Women who queue up for the ATM (or anything for that matter) and when it's their turn they start to rummage around in their bag like as if someone has unexpectedly asked them to produce their ATM card.
This takes a few minutes, then they spend ages trying to figure out what they want.
You hear the beeps and think, 'finally!' only to see them push the card back in because they've made the wrong choice and have to start again.
Then when they eventually get their cash and take their card, they have to pack everything back up again, while standing at the machine.

Having to serve drink at a wedding they just would'nt go f*cking home :mad:

[Schumi]

People who buy cheap stuff with a credit card and hold everyone up for ages.

[Green Tribe]

this complete b1tch who deliberatley beat me to the queues at tesco, she had seen me going towards the queue and she belted towards it, she had a huge trolley full of a week's shopping for her brats, i only had a small basket(but too big to go to the 10 items or less) :mad: the b1tch, i was raging!!

[Green Tribe]

oh and people who smoke in shopping centres and on no-smoking buses, they should be shot. :mad:

[carrickharp]

Bad manners, like when you hold the door open for some wan and she barges past with out a word of thanks, and it is not just young wans that have this habit :mad: .

Also when you are driving along and pull in to let someone trough (even though you don’t have to) and they don’t acknowledge it :mad:

2)Nigerian women drivers, its like there wearing blinkers.
3)Rags on the road that look like dead animals.

Scumbags/Knackers (guys) in adidas tracksuits

Apoligies if it sounded out of line but I live in an estate which has about six families from Nigeria and one or two from Sudan, The Nigerian women are great crack and the nicest people you will meet but by god they cant drive, I do give them a bit of stick in a humerous way but they are shocking bad. :eek:

[pete]

"Drivers" who stop in yellow junctions boxes - she woman do it to bus (she could see it coming & no way she could get out the other end on way home today
Rain - nothing good about it.
People who stand near front of bus by driver so hard to get past maze of people.
People on buses - too many freaks ;)

People would insist on driving in the right hand lane when there is nothing in the left lane or they are clearly not overtaking ..... i seriously cant understand this at all, it makes completely no difference at all to their journey. They just fúck up everyone else.

People who drive right up the árse of cars with L plates .... . If they just calmed off for a bit, they wouldn't get stressed out or stress the learner out. It is a basic rule and they should be on the road themselves if they cant stick to the rules. Chríst above, where do they think they are.

People who are constantly bítchin' and reading people behind their backs, not so much the 'having a laugh' stuff, more the malicious stuff. And when they are confronted, they just bottle it. Also when they are on the recieving end of it, more often than not, they lose the plot and cant handle it. These are the same people who spend more time trying to knock people or scheme up ways to knock people, when they really should be worried about themselves a bit more.

The term "plastic paddy". How could you grudge anyone their pride in being Irish?

[Peadar]

they are a nice people.

Like most races, Nigerians are not all "nice people."
Some very nasty characters from that part of the world.
You just have to listen to my Nigerian colleagues to hear about some of them.

One of them told me that he has to laugh everytime he hears racisim mentioned here and in Ireland. He says it's nothing compared to the racisim between tribes in Nigeria.
Especially between the Ibo and Yoruba tribes.


The term "plastic paddy".

I use that all the time.
It's a bit of banter.
No insult intended.
Anyone offended by it needs to chill out a small bit.
I often refer to myself as a Paddy.
Could be called a lot worse.

[Eire06]

White football boots.
Quite fond of them actually ;)

People who eat really loudly..
People with no table manners and eat with their mouths open..
Hairdressers who do anything they want with your hair even though you asked specifically for something... Then when you say it the claim that’s what you asked for and charge you 175euro for the honour....
Snotty people who look down their nose at you..

boys who think they know everything about sports and think you know nothing cause your a girl.. :mad: :mad:

[Macy]

1) People in traffic jams/ slow moving traffic who leave half a mile between them and the car in front - just drive up and stop, no benefit to the car to crawl along in first at 3 miles an hour. Helps snarl up the traffic that little bit more, as it effects the number of cars getting through lights etc behind.

2) Volvo and Micra drivers. Main culprits of 1, and because they drive "safe" cars they think they can do what they want. BMW and Merc drivers also beginning to show the same traits

3) Pedestrians that cross as the lights are changing

4) Pedestrians crossing the road about 10 yards from pedestrian crossings or under pedestrian bridges

5) 24 hour bus lanes (especially the N11 from Foxrock to Loughlinstown that has bugger all buses at peak times, let alone off peak) - whats the point?

6) People driving in the outside lane of motorways who slam on the anchors to answer the phone.

7) The cutaways in the middle of dual carriageways and the people that use them.

8) The lack of park and ride facilities that force me to commute by car - the time I'd have to leave to get parking at the dart, I'd drive in in an hour.

9) Decentralisation - no one wants to go, so why bother?

10) Not introducing e-working (infact bringing back in the people that already are doing it) because they need the numbers for Decentralisation.

11) Non Union members who still get the benefits of what the union(s) fight for.

I'm a bit angry today :D

[Pauro 76]

1) Rude and miserable bartenders..... work with one of them who would ask a customer "What do you want" or "What are you after", without a sign of please or thank you or even a f*cking smile!
2) Had to find somewhere for an interview and asked for directions, but people who deliberately ignore you when you ask for directions do my nut.
3) People who hop queues in banks or bars...
4) And totally agree with the guy who said when you open up a door for a lady and she blanks you. Chivalry is dead.
5) People who spit on the ground (especially girls!) and people who sniff when they have a cold, how about a hanky guys!

I hate these people with a passion, even when you give them a polite flash of your lights and they still don't move, then blast them with the horn and they still dont move. Stubborness born out of the attitude, "I'm doing 120km/h so they legally aren't supposed to be going any faster, so I'm not moving". It's none of their business how fast I drive. If they are going 80km/h its even worse. I really really HATE these people! :(

Thats my NUMBER 1 hate!
Last Saturday, I happened to be in a rush, and just got pipped in the queue by a woman. There were 2 people ahead of her, and when she got to the machine, it was only then she opened her bag, rummaged around for awhile, found her purse, fiddled with that, put the card into the slot, and then her mobile rang. She had to answer it of course, ignoring the card. It was ejected, so she put it in again, but still did not press any buttons and kept on talking. The card was ejected for a second time, she pushed it in and it looked like she wasn't going to do anything, so I said "could you hurry up please?". She looked at me like I was a piece of sh*t, said "I'm ON THE PHONE" and turned her back on me. I tapped her on the shoulder, said "I'M IN THE QUEUE WAITING FOR YOU". (there were about 3 more people there at this stage) She eventually started entering her numbers, telling whoever was on the phone all about the SAVAGE behind her! Of course she got it wrong, and had to start over again. All this time she was on the phone, but when she had to start again, she put the phone away. I do not know what she was doing, but she was pressing buttons left, right and centre. Eventually, she stopped and spent an age putting the card back into her purse & bag. She turned around, gave me an absolute filthy, and said to the other people "there is something wrong with the machine".
I put my card in got my money, taking about 15 seconds for the whole thing. After all that, the b*tch didn't even have money to get out!

Nothing as extreme as this ever happened before, but I've been stuck behind women so often it drives me mad.
Buses are the same, thye could be waiting for 20 minutes, but it seems to come as a complete surprise that they have to pay for a ticket, and spend an age rooting around the bag.

[joey B]

She was'nt blonde by any chance Patsh :D

[$Leon$]

all women seem to do that. where ever they go it always seems to come as a shock that they'll have to produce money/card/id.

another one is middle aged fellas who drive old mercs (6+ years old) especially if they're taxi drivers. da biggest shower of tight ar$ed fcukers ever. as rollys royce used to say "if u need to ask u don't need to no"

people who insist on drivin 10mph below speed limit. da limit used to be 60mph so they drove 50mph. now its 50 mph so they drive 40mph. i'm talkin bout on a perfect straight smooth road. and der always seems to be on comin traffic when u meet these people

[the 12 th man]

people who say creche instead of crash & sachs instead of sex

[Eire06]

Hay thats not true in the slightest... Ok may have do the pass machine one when I've been pi$$ed but thats it..

The Makers of BMW's and Merks and some SUV's that forget to put indicators on them reall bug me :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's for sure.
A few years ago I was waiting at a bus stop in Dublin.
A woman who arrived 15 minutes after me, started complaining about the bus being late. (I had just missed one and they were running every 30 mins)

The bus arrived 10 minutes late and she barged her way on while others were trying to get off. She started having a go at the driver for being late.
He apologised and said, "sorry love, traffic is a nightmare and it's very busy on the busses."

Only after her little rant did she begin to look for her purse in her oversized handbag, eventually finding it, only to spend another 30/40 seconds looking for the correct change. She had 25 minutes at the bus stop to get the correct fare out and ready.

I'm still patiently standing behind her and as she dropped the money in to the hopper she made another remark about being late.
I couldn't keep quiet any longer and said, "if people had the correct fare ready, the bus mightn't be running so late!"

You get some great people driving the busses in Dublin, who'll never see you wrong if you need directions or the correct bus/bus stop.
Show a little respect!

ders a round about beside where i work.
its only one painted on the road but still a round about. i turn right at it so naturally get in the right hand lane but the amount of people who stay in the left lane and turn right (3rd exit) is unbelievable. the amount of near misses i've had there.

not tryin to b racist but has anyone else ever noticed da way at popular city centre bus stops when theres a q (ie people waitin in a straight line from the stop) that groups of chinese people just form a crowd around the bus stop and jump on as soon as the bus stops skippin the q???

[JoeSemi]

$Leon's spelling is a bone of contention with me at this stage :p

Something that really gets me cringing is the pundits and everyday ordinary folk who talk in the plural sense if describing a team or player e.g "I'd love to play against the Chelsea's and Liverpools of this world every week" or "if we could only afford the calibre of player such as the Duffs and Gerrards we'd be challenging". B*****ks..... There are only one of each for FFS!
