View Full Version : The "Get it off your chest" thread
A handy thread to post anything that's irritating you today, either little or large.
For me, it's my stupid upstairs neighbours. It's a flat of 4 boys, who're students. The floors between us are REALLY thin and they make a ridiculous amount of noise! For months they practiced the guitar with the amp cranked up full, so the noise echoed throughout our flat. When they started doing this at midnight and beyond, we were pushed to the limit and sent them a polite, but firm, note, basically telling them to STFU. In fairness to them, they cut way down on the guitar playing.
However, they seem to play rugby or something in their hallway. Our flat is filled with the noise of thuds, banging, balls being flung against walls and doors, shouting, cheering etc. Our flat also shakes like it's in an earthquake. It's so irritating! I'm loathe to send them ANOTHER letter, and I'm too lazy to find out who their landlord is and complain about it. GRRRR!
I've had neighbour problems too. Their apartment is about 75m² or 800 ft², which is the same as mine. But they have two kids and they never let them go out to the back yard to play. So they play football in the corridor of their house and and generally make a lot of noise. The building we live in is an old one, so sound travels quite easily. They wake up at around 7am every day, even at weekends. I've gone up and had a few face to face chats (in german) with them and it's gotten a little bit better. But noisy neighbours are really annoying !
Other things that annoy me is queues, I hate queuing ! I even get more pissed off when someone infront of you starts to chat with the cashier when they are doing their shopping. Just let them alone and leave them do their jobs ffs !
They're fecking at it again! We have a garden too. Oh no, they play in the flat. They're in the middle floor of 3 floors of flats, so I can safely assume at least 3 other flats are VERY disturbed by them, while the other 5 flats probably just hear a lot of banging.
so anyhopw housemates. Our polski who is a nice guy loves to chat late at night on skype with his mates in polskiland. he does this in the kitchen, i sleep over the kitchen. then the german/french girl laughs at everything he says and the house shakes. they are nice enough people but it gets a bit much when you have to be on site at 7 the next morning. he soaks up all the broadband it seems too. it used be great in house but not any more since skype came along!
oh the woman in the shop last night who just took my €20 off the counter believing i was paying for petrol and then i had to basically roar at her to get attention and say i want 20 benson please! "oh i thought you said 20 petrol". i hadnt said a thing. ignoramous!

why did you put it on the counter in the 1st place?
people that work in shop and put there hand out waiting for the money while they turn to talk to there friend and dont look at you or put out the there hand waiting for you to count up change after they have asked you for it. (i generly have my money out before i get to the counter) in a few cases iv just put it on the counter and walked off
Actually I hate it when they just ring everything up on the till and then stand there waiting for the money (without saying anything!) I usually just wait there until they actually say "that's X please" or some such, it's not that hard now is it
There's a shop near me where all the staff seem to be socially retarded. They NEVER make eye contact and mumble the cost, if you're lucky. They're so blody rude!
I work in a shop and I'm a model assistant, if I may say so myself. Eye contact, chat, pack their bags, clearly tell them what it costs, say please and thank you often...
i worked in shop too at one stage and it is rewarding to think you made somebody smile. people are going to give you crap if you act like a delinquent with no social skills. i had the money on the counter because i was looking in my wallet for change to get 15 back.

today was a bad day for me dealing with people.
was getting food in the canteen in collage. and when i got given a plate with my food on it i noticed the plate was filty, with dryed on food and sauce. so i handed it back and asked for a new plate and new food.
anyway the one serving the food, then just scaped it on to a new plate and went to hand it back to me, now looking like the dogs dinner. so i politely declined it and asked for a new plate and fresh food. to with i got "for gods sake its only abit of curry that was stuck on the plate"
anyway i got my nice fresh food on a clean plate in the end.
then later on in a shop after making a cup of tea and picking a few other odds and ends when to the counter. when i got there the one at the counters phone rang so she deside to answaer it and turn from looking at me put out her hand in my direction as if to ask for the money before ringing it up, i was not sure of the price so could not hand her the money, so after about 15 seconds standing there with a que behing me, spoke up and told her would she mind telling the cost of my stuff, so she got in a huff and put down the phone and then went to over charge me about 3 euro.
eep she lucky i went in a good mood as she was getting close to geting her phone put in my tea.
Happy JJ you are indeed mental. I would love to hear more of these :D

this is my kind of thread!! Things that annoy me:
1) Dial-up internet
2) People that work on helplines/in shops that have no idea what they're on about eg before I bought my laptop I went onto the dell website and had an online chat with one of their sales staff. Can't remember what I asked him but he came back with a ridiculously wrong answer! I had to find a quote from the website to prove part of it to him!!:maad:
3) Having to do a final year project
4) People that never have credit or that take days to reply to a message
5) Most trousers have a standard leg length of around 32 inches while I'd save women's average leg length is 30"
6) Clothes sizes differ from place to place. why can they not agree what measurements a size 14 should be and stick to it
7) Irish maestro/laser cards. My experience has shown that the majority of websites that take maestro require an issue date which Irish maestro cards don't have
That'll do for the moment! But there's plenty more things that bug me!

does anybody know the english homeless guy who can be found wandering around the central bank, temple bar, grafton and occasionally o'connel street in dublin? he approaches you asking if you have a minute, then even if you tell him to piss off, he still haggles you for change. he claims he lives in a hostel with his girlfriend and sells the big issue..this is fair enough until you actually look at the mouldy bastard and notice he's probably the most obvious heroin addict on the streets of dublin this century. i wouldnt have any problem apart from the bullshit that comes out of his mouth. i've been haggled by him three times in the last year and i wouldnt even mind if he came up to me and said 'sorry mate, i need money for drugs, can you help me out?' i'd probably give him more cash to be honest.
wow you have problems. i dont know how ou cope with the stress of a tri yearly encounter. keep on trucking little buddy ;-)
