Pet Peeves

[Caomhaoin]

Lads substituting 'I was like' for 'I said' when telling a story. I'll admit I do sometimes say 'says I' or 'he goes' but the above wrecks my head. Granted, laddettes rather than the boyz are the principal offenders.

Wankers setting off bangers and fireworks. What's the point of it?

It freaks the shit out of the dogs, wankers the lot of them. How the hell do they get them here in the first place?

Ireland is one of the only countries in the world where they are illegal for the average person to use. All you have to do is drive to Jonesborough to buy them legally. When I lived in Canada a month before the May bank holiday, Halloween and NYE, Kaboom trailers would appear all over the place selling every firework you can think of.

Have a few dogs myself and one dog just barks constantly in the run up to Halloween because of them and another dog always spends halloween night under the kitchen table in fear.

See you that and raise you "so he turns around and says"..." then she turns around and goes... ". ..

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah, you hear a lot of English lads saying that.

Also, finishing a sentence with 'to be fair'. I don't know what's wrong with 'in fairness' but it's being driven out by the insidious newcomer.

Oh, and Darrell Brooks. What a loathsome, odious piece of shit.

People, especially over 40,talking in the cinema. An obvious one but probably my biggest annoyance.

Fuck I hate that. I worked in a cinema years ago and 'cinema rage' was a thing

It drives me mad. I actually find younger ones tend to stop or at least try to keep it down more than the older crowds who don't give a fuck. The Banshees of Inniserin had the worst ones, answering their phones and everything. God forbid Paudi and Maura couldn't help but announce to the whole cinema that its the fella from D'Unbelievables on screen. Fuck off

While we're at it I'll throw in the new trend for saying "I feel like" instead of "I think". Grrr..

Louise McSharry (spelling?) - I don't know who this woman is, what she does for a living (presumably something in the Dublin "meed-jaa"), what she looks like, her political beliefs or anything else.

I just know if I hear her dopey voice on podcast ads once more, I may drown myself in the sink whilst doing the washing-up.

Being pestered with the same question repeatedly until you explode and end up in an argument that wouldn't have happened if the other party had accepted your initial honest answer.

Five times this morning a friend of mine has texted and asked me to go to a gig with a few of his buddies. The gig is tomorrow night.

Five times I batted him off with "Ah, no thanks. I won't go to that one", "Thanks but I have a few things to do at home", "Sound for asking but I'm grand seriously", "Yep, 100%. Can't do it" and "Certain, man. Thanks for the shout though".

Then my phone rang.

"I can't really talk, man. I'm in the middle of a job.... right... no, I definitely can't do tomorrow... yeah, yeah.... no I am certain... well I don't want to go tomorrow. Why? Because the band aren't my thing at all... No - they really aren't, I'm not into them... I know your buddy is in the band... Right, I DIDN'T want to say that but I don't know how else to answer you."

[hellfire]

That's a good one. My sister will keep asking a question until she gets the answer she wants. Makes me unspeakably angry.

[Mower Liberation Front]

Ads for video games with "Not actual gameplay" or "Footage not in game" disclaimers. TBH, they should be banned.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Agreed. Even though I don't game anymore, that has always annoyed me.

I wouldn't really be sure what is considered as chai tea in Ireland, but chai is just an original word for tea(meaning a non English word). Guess I'll have to google it.

Just happened to stumble upon something interesting re this naming convention difference:
