Ron.M -> Things that really ANNOYED me this year. (Dec. 20 2010 19:19:19)

TV Cooks saying things like...

" Right ...just stick that thing straight into the pan..."

How?...Where else were you thinking of putting it?.... Up your ass??

I have dozens more, believe me...[;)][:D]

So what annoyed you most this year?


cheers,

Ron

Tennis players saying 'If I would have known THIS I would have done THAT.'

Oh, and adverts for Viagra.




Ron.M -> RE: Things that really ANNOYED me this year. (Dec. 20 2010 20:17:36)

Paul...

I say that all the time...and I've never played tennis in my life...[:D]

More of the negative form though...like..

"Christ, if I had only known THIS, I would NEVER have done that!"...[:-][:D]

cheers,

Ron

The greatness of Miley Cyrus
Being politically correct
Bad grammar
Cheap badly made commercials
Annoying cell phone ringtones
Gum on my shoe
Cheap products from China
My passport photo
Drivers who don’t indicate, You wait for them to pass but they turn off just before.

Tobacco nearly doubled in price, AGAIN!

Electricity doubled in price

Car Rego saw an increase

My car insurance increased even though it's value decreased.

Groceries continued to rise in price

My rent increased


Telecommunication providers began to charge a fee for paying your bill at a post office. Fortunately the government actually stepped in and made them refund the money to everyone.

Banks announced record profits

Australia's "democratically" elected leader prime minister was removed and replaced without warning.

Societies use of antidepressants increased

My regular restaurant gig of 6 years came to an end.

And to top it off I am one year older[:(]

Dont come and live in Spain it is far worse. My last bank manager, who is definitely younger than me, called me 'hija' ( daughter). I changed banks. Also Granada has just discovered roundabouts and are putting them everywhere, then making them bigger. One roundabout was so big there was no room for cars. And people here have no idea how to drive round them. I saw a bus once reverse as it had missed it's exit. And people park on them, sometimes even double park ! And the main route out of town is only one lane which is also the entrance to the carpark so you get people cueing to park and you cant get out of town unless you use the bus lane where you will definitely get your photo taken and fined.

Ah yes...I see what you mean now Paul.

Yes that is a good example of something being annoying to you.

In my view, for something to be truly annoying, it must be something that is completely trivial and unimportant, yet has a strange and unproportionate effect in personally stirring you to rage and not readily understood by others. [:D]

cheers,

Ron

I did live there I was in Cordoba for 10 years , and Hija (Daughter) can also means "little girl" endearing and familiar term for niña
Belive me Ireland is worse for Talking and driving, and potholes....

Yeah, but said by a Bank Manager to a customer sounds pretty patronizing don't you think.

Maybe like a Bank Manager here calling a woman customer "dear".

A familiar term for a Bank Manager should be "pretentious greedy fat bastard". [:D]

Ron




Ruphus -> RE: Things that really ANNOYED me this year. (Dec. 21 2010 10:52:14)

This one and the couple past years:

Concertized media telling public that the vaporizing of atsronomical sums of money was to be:
# For a vast part only nominal, hence just bubble content / none-existing value. Let alone, value that hadn´t gone anywhere; with everybody only having seen loss. [8D]
# That the responsibles behind the vanish had "failed", as if the creaming off was to be unintentionally.
# States pampering the responsible institutions with additional sets of billions for the exact same game to continue, claiming that there was no way around of doing so.
Trillions thrown after criminals, while elsewise there allegedly per state was no spare of 2 or 3 billion available for social budgets.

And worst of all:

People eating the cynical ****.
Not even in a position to realize the most basic coherence, which would had been to track down where the money has gone, recover it and prosecute the "gamers". Period.

A common sense so brain-washed that it can´t distinguish the most ordinary whereabouts anymore.

Such is the most annoying thing to me. - For this year more even than for the unspeakable intellectual unindependence of past centuries.

Did you go to Paco Peña's Guitar Festival? Or was that after he stopped doing it?

"We will learn lessons from this incident and move forward....."

Just about every spineless government, police, bank, church etc who screw up and then give some pathetic press conference quote the above and MANY other cock'n'bull cliches.

Also...

"As you know, the incident is presently subject to inquiry, so you wouldn't expect me to comment on it."

"I cannot comment on individual cases."

"I haven't actually seen that particular document, so obviously cannot comment."
(Even though said document has been published in every newspaper and has been on the news for days..)

"First of all, let me express my sincerest condolences and say that my deepest thoughts are with the family and friends..." (good..wasted 6 seconds of awkward interview time..)

Many more too... [:D]

cheers,

Ron

A lot of stuff was going on then, this was in the 90's
I would see some of them in a bar called Las Plateros , in some nights.....
