Pet Peeves

[Carnage]

A mate went with the tablets and swore by them. 15+ years off them now.

Chantix or one of those?

I went cold turkey.

Tried the patches the first time, no luck at all. Just ended up watching my mates smoke cigarettes while I had an itchy arm.

I never tried the Chantix things. I read up on them and, apparently, they can lead to insomnia and depressive/suicidal thoughts.

I struggle enough with the black dog of mental health without giving it a 1UP.

[Carnage]

Not a clue, never a smoker myself. He reckoned they were great though, he hasn't touched fags since. Different for everyone though, same as anything.

[leatherface]

Quit smoking at ten past eight this morning after the breakfast, resumed smoking at twenty past one this afternoon after the dinner.
Cuntish cuntyness.

Am now 5 years off cigs. Took a few tries to successfully quit, have patience. Most important is maintaining the frame of mind that you want to quit *or try (tobacco flavored) vaping for a while in the interim.

Thanks for the tips lads.
My problem is that I don't want to quit smoking, I just feel like I should.
I'm 30 years smoking, 20 years rolling my own, and I still fucking love it.
I've attempted to give them up on numerous occasions but its always been a half-hearted affair.
Tried the patches once, thought they were a waste of time.
Wouldn't go near tablets or vape.
I'm hoping I'll take a disgust to it at some stage and just quit ta fuck, I know its doing me no favours like.

Taylor Swift and her fucking obsessed brain dead cultists.

A mate sent me a kazoo as a joke. Now that'd be great and all, if not for the fact that he's in Hong Kong and I'm getting stung for a €5.20 customs charge. A fucking kazoo.

[Circlepit]

A lack of fu with the kazoo.

This fecker getting legal aid.

"The court heard that Carey is to be provided with legal aid."

I suppose the sister will look for it too when she gets to court.

And just to add to the insult.

A quote from DJ in 2014:

"There are not enough gardai because of cutbacks and at the same time if they do get caught these arseholes and scumbags get free legal aid and a slap on the wrist from the courts."

Cashiers overcomplicating the process of handing you your change, and making a total balls of it.

If you have two fully functional hands, just hand over the coins in one and notes in the other - easy!

Don't try and stack the coins on top of the notes, especially if your accuracy is shit. We're being bent over enough with inflation as it is, don't need to be bending over to pick up the change you fumbled at me with your clumsy fingers!!

[Bürggermeister]

People who wait until the cashier tells them how much they owe before they start looking for their purse/wallet, particularly the ones who've been part of a queue watching the people ahead of them go through the same process. You know you're going to have to pay for the stuff, like all the other times in your life, be ready to pay and move on, not start fumbling around looking for how you're going to pay for your stuff as if it came as a surprise.

[hellfire]

Yeah, the shock and panic when asked to produce a form of payment really grates on me.

My current peeve is the new American vocal tic I've noticed in recent months from overhearing my 4 year old son watching YouTube videos about superhero toys. It used to be "like", and more recently it became "literally", and more recently again it became "genuinely" (or worse, genu-INE-ly... shudder). The new one is "go ahead and"... as in "OK, I'm going to go ahead and open the Michaelangelo toy now".  You'll fucking what??? Isn't go ahead something you say to grant permission to someone. Are these brainless fucks granting permission to themselves??? It kills me a bit each time I hear it but at least I know it will soon fade out only to be replaced by something much, much worse. I look forward to that day.
