Lookit I could have listed a thousand things, including people who start sentences with superfluous words such as 'lookit', but there are only so many hours in the day.
Instead I am sharing just 32 of the every day occurrences that are really grinding my gears lately.
1. Verified by Visa
The original gripe The Sliced Pan had with life and it's a gripe that is still going strong.
2. Donald Trump
Need I say any more?
3. People saying 'broke the internet'
Kim Kardashian started it but that doesn't mean we have to fucking continue it.
4. Novelty Christmas jumpers
Turn those lights off. You are not a human Christmas tree!
5. Taps that only work if your hand is pressing the top down
A device designed for washing my hands that only works when one of my hands is pushing down on it. Who the hell thought this a good idea?
6. The twirly thing on a milk carton breaking
A bloody needless inconvenience in a world that's more than difficult enough already.
7. Anything related to owning or driving a car
Whether it be the plethora of shit that can and will break in your car or the fucking joy that is other drivers!
8. Buses
They can get fucked and all.
9. The weather
Miserable. Wet. Windy. Stormy. Torrential. Floods. But still somehow fierce, fierce, fierce mild.
10. Wobbly tables in restaurants
I came to eat, not to play balance the bowl of soup.
11. People who call Tesco 'Tescos'
We need to salt the Earth and rid ourselves of these Satanist excuses for humans!
12. The X Factor
A sorry excuse for a television show to begin with that has gotten even more insufferable every year since.
13. Buying broccoli only to discover it's rotten in the middle
You just can't get good broccoli these days.
14. Chuggers
They've making the act of simply walking down the streets of Ireland a daunting experience.
15. Unopenable packaging
This.
16. Battery life on electronic devices
Sure the phone goes dead that often that we may as well be back using landlines!
17. Urinals
Not until you use a urinal in a pair of shorts can you truly understand the amount of splash back they are responsible for.
18. Discovering you have no milk after you've made a mug of tea
At least if you realise before you boil the kettle you save yourself the effort. It's the hope that kills you really.
19. The ads on the RTÉ Player
Having to watch a set number of ads per minutes viewed I can accept but when you want to skip to a certain moment and have to sit through three sets of ads ... God grant me patience!
20. Christmas shopping
Bah! Humbug!
21. Being made talk to a child
Little people. Running around with no want to discuss season two of House of Cards.
22. People who say 'There won't be a cow milked in...'
Stop it! Stop it now!
23. Stainless steel egg turners
It's bloody impossible to turn an egg with a flipper that's half a centimetre thick. Also, it's steel being used on a non-stick frying pan. Which brings me along to no.24.
24. People who use steel utensils on a non-stick frying pan
Cunts. Cunts, the lot of you.
25. Isis
I think we can all agree on this one.
26. Glitter
It gets everywhere, it looks shit and I fail to see how it's any fun. Did I mention the fact that it gets everywhere!? In fact if we really want to punish Isis we should drop glitter bombs on them.
The would really get under anyone's skin.
27. The short days
Sure it's dark going into work and dark leaving it!
28. Accidentally buying frying chips instead of oven chips
What do I do, what do I do!? If I cook them in the oven still does that mean there's a good chance I'll die?
29. Trying to clean oven trays
Just don't even attempt it. It's not worth it.
30. Soaps
Speaking of soap, it's time these never-ending blights on television were put a stop to. And I include Home and Away in that!
31. Deli people who put too much butter on your roll
'Just a small bit.'
'Not problem, I'll just use half the tub and splotch it all in one place on the roll without properly spreading it at all.'
32. Brussel Sprouts
A piss-poor vegetable. It's only use is to serve as tiny footballs for wrestling figurines.
33. Being charged a euro for a dash of Mi Wadi
Sure they're going to be charging us for the water now as well. A daylight robbery.
34. Umbrellas
And finally we come to my personal pet peeve. The most useless invention know to man. An invention that is only meant to be used when it's raining but an invention that cannot withstand any sort of wind. A weather occurrence which usually accompanies rain.
