Little things that irk you.. (no swearing please)

[Decider-VT]

Heard a teenager in Subway saying "can I get" instead of "can I have" the other day, which I find very annoying.

This. I always start a request with "may I have".

[teddymeow]

Of course! Although it was only 11 years ago that I was a teenager myself. Doesn't take long to turn into a grumpy bugger

See, I'm 29 in April and I feel I've always been a grumpy bugger!

Less expectation from others for you to be happy the younger you start being miserable!

Whats more is the BBC thinks thats what you want to watch... oh please more stricly come dancing and dancing on ice. Jesus Chriisst.

I must be tired because I swear, on first Reading this, it said that the BBC are doing "Jesus Christ Dancing On Ice".

Even I wouldn't watch that and I watch Strictly Come Dancing (with the wife, natchrally )

Although some of the female dancers are

I don't know why you lot even watch TV anyway.

I don't even know how you find the time for it in between all the shovelware ****e you play. My daily routine is: Get up > Walk to work > Work > Walk > Gym > Walk/Tesco > Make dinner then clean up after myself > 2hrs on PC/game > Bed, and I have a 20min walk to work whereas some of you commute for five million hundred thousand hours a day. At weekends I replace the work and walking with shopping and more gameplay/PC time.

The only time I'm exposed to TV is when I go for Sunday dinner at my mum's every second Sunday.

Shut up Dave you play world of warcraft ffs.

My irk, people thinking they are better than others because they like different games or do different things.

I experienced my first official 'Irk of the Year' today.

It is my Brothers Birthday soon - four weeks away in fact - and today, I posted a large secure package containing a t-shirt, a book and a card at the Post Office on Swanston Street.

'That will be $46.75 please mate' the old guy behind the counter said.

Of course, I had no choice but to cough up however, $46.75 (roughly £26) for a t-shirt, a book and a card...!?

F*ck me sideways.

I pay on average $30-35 for food and drink every day. Sure, I could have used Sea Mail but that takes anywhere between four hundred to sixty-five million years to deliver.



Why does international mail cost a lot of money...?

Haven't touched it since October and just sold my character for a huge sum of cash. 8) I actually got paid 17p per hour when I worked it out.

[abigsmurf]

I keep selling my WoW characters then coming back to it.

I *won't* be coming back for cataclysm though. No way. Not gonna happen. Nope.

*looks longingly at the amazon pre-order page*

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Ok, that's quite a big irk. There was an excellent episode of Dispatches on the Afghan war on C4 last night.

Women.

Soaps.

I moved in with the missus on Sunday. Both yesterday AND today I've found myself watching ALL the soaps.

I NEVER watch soaps.

Home and Away? WTF? People smuggling? Shootings outside the police station? A guy with a gun in a multi storey car park getting smashed round the face with a fire extinguisher?

It all total bollocks yet I find myself not only putting up with it, but watching it too!!!

1. Console gamers that think console gaming and PC gaming are the samething.

2. Gamers complaining a modern game won't run on their 5 year old rig. <<That's your problem right there!

3. Those gob****es that say you need a &#163;2000 system to play PC games, properly...sigh.

4. Console gamers that think just because you own a great PC rig, all of a sudden they've got it in their head you're above them.
