    The perfect, exact word.



    Another one:

    whenever i go to bed (no matter the hour) the godammned histeric dog from the neighbour starts to bark non stopping, or if i'm trying to read something begins to howl for hours.

    :blank: You guys can do better than this ... as is, no one's going to give these items a second thought, but if you explain why they're irritating you, it will be much more interesting for the reader. Think HK's saga of AVG oppression or Ted's tale of instant message woe. Regular old bullet point lists are boring. :yawn:

    I once got a boiled sweet up my nose. And then couldn't get it out either backwards or forwards. That was really irritating. But not as irritating when your gf tries to poison you with star aniseed. :sweatdrop

    K, just take a look at the situation in Poland... the country is going totally downhill
    and everyone is blaming everyone else that it's their fault... Furthermore, the government
    is busy fighting the "oligarchy" (which, BTW is total bullshit because they're misusing the
    the word). They're fighting corrupt businessmen who, as they think have overrun
    the country, and control every single area of life... In fact there are only some marginal
    cases of corruption among the richest but who cares, it's valid as long as it sounds good,
    right?

    Another burning point is the slow, painful agony of the National Healthcare System.
    And thanks to the strikes you can't get any help from doctors nowadays... No pay,
    no work.

    I live in a country where a freaking priest (not that I have anything against
    priests, just this particular one), Father Rydzyk can have his own radio and television
    where he can talk total bullshit and brainwash people who listen to his voice as the
    catholic voice in the media; spreading anti-Semite and xenophobic messages on air...
    a person who owns a Helicopter and two MAYBACHS (sic!)... not to mention that he's
    idolized by his audience like the late Pope (Poles had felt very strong & positive feelings
    towards John Paul II, as you might figure)...

    Where the public TV serves the government as a propaganda tube and a close friend of
    the Prime Minister (and a former member of his party) is it's president... Oh, not to mention
    twins who are the most important people of the state (the president and the prime
    minister)... Oh, and another thing, a place where neo-fascists are a part of the governing
    coalition... where the other allied party consists of criminals, rapists, thieves, and thugs...

    Want me to tell you more? How about a minister of justice who invigilated his political
    adversaries or given judgements about people who hadn't been even given any official
    charges in court?

    Thankfully something will change next week due to the earlier elections (the term of office
    was shortened due to political instability of the coalition) but on the other hand... there's no
    serious alternative to the current rule...

    It's just pissing me off how stupid people can turn up if you give them enough power...
    Don't get me wrong... it's not a bad place to live, really, but it's sometimes real hard
    to cope with all the problems... :no:

    I'd really like to work out, but my stomach is killing me. Who'd think that drinking twelve cups of coffee in the course of a day might have negative consequences?

    Thanks. :)

    Irritating item: The Hollywood Perfect Ex.

    Enough already with the great looking divorced couples that get along well, joke and flirt, give sage advice to their kids, and obviously still love each-other. It's a cheap device to have both family and new relationship based humor while keeping the number of characters down. If divorced couples really still cared so deeply for one-another, they'd have stayed married.

    "Sometimes people love each-other but can't stay together" is a comforting lie, but there comes a time to let it go.

    The vast majority of my life is irritating at the moment, the breakup between me and my ex-Mrs wasn't all that painful, but I find myself frustrated by the fact that it is seemingly impossible for me to see my daughter. I got a part time job - working weekends and Wednesday's only at the moment, and now of course my daughter is nearly 5 she's started full time school, now while me and the ex are still civil towards eachother (despite her recent efforts to make me feel jealous, and not beleiveing me when I tell her I'm not seeing anyone else at the moment) the situation is not that bad, but still not to my liking. My efforts to change my working hours have so far been fruitless mainly due to the fact that the person who deals with that has been on vacation for about a month. :(

    On top of that, the debts incurred in my name by my ex have had a negative impact on my credit rating, and are increasing as interest is added month after month.

    If "Life" TM came with an instruction manual and plot synapsis, I don't think anyone would play it. :(

    How about when you've just begun to feel better and forget them and then they somehow slip back into your life and knock the wind out of you.

    i live in bangkok,
    i could write a book on things that annoy the hell out of me.

    but i'll start with this ,
    for some reason in thailand, people do not wait for people to get off the elevator before they push thier way in!!

    and motorcycles driving on the sidewalks is another annoying thing i hate here.
    when i first moved here i used to look both ways stepping out of the elevator, expecting a motorbike to go screaming by in the lobby.

    oh, and they dont seem to have the concept of a que line here.
    i mean, you have to hug the counter at 7-11 or some little thai girl will just blatantly jump right in front of you..no matter how long you've been standing there. and the frickin clerk will actually serve them first if you dont step up.

    GRRRR!!!

    Sometimes, waiting is irritating. Patience is a virtue.

    When someone who has been eating cheetoes needs to thumb through your PHB. Nothing like getting your PHB back with cheesy-fingers all over the pages.

    I swear if any of my friends do it again, I'll somehow use those cheesy fingerprints to frame them for murder. :)
