10 Things That Really Annoy Me

I was inspired to write this review by my friend Kirsty (DixieChick10) who's refreshingly youthful take on this theme I read many moons ago, indeed, Number 1 was actually written at the time of a distant, near forgotten postal strike……the world was a different place…….the economy yet to see ...

RICHADA - THE DARK SIDE

Advantages: Welcome Back RICHADA
Disadvantages: Oh NO! He's having a moan again…..

...ticking over waiting to pour 10 litres of cheap fuel into their tanks? Idiocy or what?

6) THE ELECTRICITY AND GAS COMPANIES

……OK, petrol and diesel prices have come crashing down at a speed that has left most of us breathless.

How about it electricity and gas providers? You kept on telling us that your prices were allied to the cost of a barrel of crude when it was going up and up, you are staying awfully ...
...at making myself, and everyone else, angry, with their high and mighty behaviour, faceless bureaucracy and a unique talent at holding on to as much of our money through the Direct Debit system as is legally possible.

7) MOTHERS SMOKING OVER THE BABY

On the way to work this morning we passed a very young mother with a baby in a push chair. She was smoking, that annoys me, she has the choice as to smoking or not, her baby ... more

Review of 10 Things That Really Annoy Me

Hate's too strong a word - except for celery.

Advantages: Reveals my exceptional dislike of celery
Disadvantages: I'm not really very annoyed about most other things

...keep it down to just 10 things. I imagine he'd drawn up a festering list of hundreds of possibilities and couldn't work out how to get the short-list down to less than about 25. So I started thinking about what really annoyed me and I struggled. I really could only think of one thing I really disliked enough to use the H word. There were a few things I didn't like much but only one thing whose total annihilation and removal from the face of the ...
...celery. So what's wrong with me (don't all shout at once) that I can't raise a higher level of ire than a strong dislike? I started asking friends, family, even my husband, what made them angry and what they hated. I soon realised that I just wasn't capable of getting as venomous as other people about mothers with pushchairs in restricted spaces and old ladies in motorised wheelchairs. I couldn't get that bothered about reality TV, late running trains ...

Review of 10 Things That Really Annoy Me

And first against the wall will be.....

Advantages: I'm a bloke, and I like doing lists
Disadvantages: You might not be, and might not

To paraphrase Friedrich Nietzsche, it's not a good idea to look into the dark side of yourself, because all the while the dark side is looking into you. And nobody ever wins a staring contest with their dark side; just look at the folk who've tried and failed. Kurt Cobain, Vincent Van Gogh, Kevin Carter, Nick Drake, Tony Slattery. The list is endless. But hey, a little venting is ok, isn't it? I try to be a glass half-full person. It's just that ...
...the appeal of Mellow Birds whitened with St Ivel Five Pints topped off with a Sunny D chaser. So, a mixture of the universal and the deeply personal.... The little things in certain, awful songs ========================================= It's easy to say that "Lady In Red" by Chris de Burgh is a terrible song, responsible for getting more drunken Essex girls into bed in the late 80s than even Blue Stratos aftershave. But there have been countless ...

Review of 10 Things That Really Annoy Me

Oh I love a good rant.....

Advantages: There are no advantages to things that annoy me
Disadvantages: They annoy me!

...rank order!?!) are the top 10 things that really annoy me (or at least the top 10 that came to mind at the time of writing…): '''1. Stupid comments from strangers. This includes:''' -Strangers who pass me in the street and say "Cheer up love, it might never happen" I'm sure I'm not the only person who finds this annoying, but when complete strangers come up to me and say this it really makes me question their intelligence. Firstly, just because ...
...- When I was about 10 one lad from a Pakistani family who lived a few blocks down from me actually came and punched me, for seemingly no reason, whilst me and some other kids were out playing in the street. My dad went round to talk to his family, and it turned out he'd punched me just because I was white and I was playing with his sister. To be honest I'm not surprised some people react like that after suffering years of abuse from people who think ...

Review of 10 Things That Really Annoy Me

I make Victor Meldrew look like Mr. Happy

Advantages: Will make your own hates and prejudices seem like mere trifles
Disadvantages: A deeply disturbing insight into the mind of an overwrought Ciao-er

...narrowing it down to just 10 will be a struggle. I hope this review will not be excessively long, but just in case it runs on, make sure you've been to the bathroom before you read it and have a hot cup of tea to hand. Anyway, in no particular order, here goes: 1. Mobile 'Phone Texters ♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣♣ More specifically, those individuals who ...
...a lot of Ciao-ers top 10 annoyances. However, I want to single out a type of spam which I have been getting increasing amounts of in the last few weeks: the sexually explicit, profane, pornographic spam which daily clogs up the Bulk folder in my Yahoo mail box. I am not a prude by any means but I regard this filth as an offensive intrusion into my life. My initial anger has now subsided into profound depression as each day I get up to 15 or so emails ...

Welcome to the fiery depths of my hatred, enjoy.

Advantages: Venting anger thus leading to a more calm, serene existance
Disadvantages: None

...or mildly frustrated by. 10. Religious Oppression Of Women In "Democratic" Countries. Perhaps the biggest hypocrisy that exists in society is the openly preached views of extremist or fundamentalist religions is that women are inferior to men. You may feel that's not possible in countries with democracy, human rights and free speech in abundance right ? Wrong. It's craftily masked in religious tradition (that's things tagged onto but not actually ...
...fundamentalists Christians whilst in the town centre and actually found myself defending women's equality from a young women who albeit reluctantly admitted men where superior. It was like I'd entered the twilight zone. In 99% of conversations I'd be backing the male corner and find myself on the end of a female backlash or counter arguments. Instead a girl who really didn't look all too happy with the idea of being less than a man was quite weakly ...

Review of 10 Things that Make Me Happy

High on life...

Advantages: title speaks for its self,they make me happy.
Disadvantages: sometimes im so happy im confused lol.

After writing an op on "10 things that really annoy me" I thought it was only fair to let you all know what makes me happy too. This may sound really silly but it?s hard for me to come out with only ten things that make me happy, I love life and Im really happy with every thing in it. But I will tell you about the best ten things in my life at the moment. ~~~HERE GOES~~~ #1. Well number one has to be my daughter. No matter how sad you get she's always there to cheer you right back up again. Jenna (my little girl) is only one, but does the funniest of things. She?s so innocent you?re continuously wondering what she?s thinking. #2. My man Gary. Well we have been together for two years and were supposed to be getting married at the end of this month, but due to some problems it got cancelled. We split up and it tore me apart ...

Review of 10 Things that Make Me Happy

Seasons to be cheerful 1-2-3

Advantages: Glorious autumn, winter and summer too
Disadvantages: What's up with the spring of our discontent?

firmly established, in anticipation of the joyful uplift of the fall. Although satisfying to me from my "autumn isn't depressing" viewpoint, these findings were in other ways contrary even to my expectations. I certainly had not anticipated that the human mood would seem so negative in spring. So I decided it would be worth reviewing the question from the opposite perspective. * For an opposite perspective, I looked for topics that implied sadness or disgruntlement. Interestingly, no direct opposites of the happy topics (such as "10 Things that have Made me Unhappy" or "The Worst Year of my Life") exist on Ciao. Instead, I selected the following for the comparison: "10 Things I Hate about the World Today." "10 Things I Hate Doing." "10 Things that Really Annoy Me." "10 Most Annoying Sayings." I would accept that this ...
