When you go into buy a jumper or shirt and you find something and you think yeah that's perfect until you turn it around and the back of it is plastered in writing like Jack and Jones or Tommy Hilfiger or something.
Why do they do this to perfectly good clothes and why would anyone wear one with writing all over the back of it?

People (mainly men in my experience) who spit out on the street, especially where you are just about to walk. Seriously rank.

Do women actually do this too?

FlyBe can contact customers of a forthcoming flight telling them that the flight times have been changed. No financial impact thank you very much.

But if I contact FlyBe telling them I want to change a flight, then FlyBe charge me money.

B'stards.

The sound on RTE's soccer coverage being a second ahead of the picture. For Benfica's goal last night George Hamilton was screaming "it's there!!!" at the moment the player was heading the ball. Very annoying ( it would be even more annoying in a decent game) and it's something that should be simple to rectify yet it seems to have been a feature of RTE's soccer coverage for years.

The coverage for the Leinster Munster Rugby game was the very same... Had to be a good 3 seconds ahead of the picture meaning that the ball would be at the back of a ruck and the commentary would already be on around the break made in the following phase....

The RTE and TV3 commentators getting a simple things wrong. For the Arsenal Milan game a few weeks ago, George Hamilton was calling Urby Emmanuelson, Sammuelson for the whole game. The other night Mark Lawrenson was sure Nesta had given away two penalties even though Antonini had given away the first. The first one probably wouldn't have been so annoying if Arsenal weren't 4-0 down.

Having to do a really bad crap in work where you know everyone will know it was you who dropped it. Personally, I would hold on till i got home, but one particular man appears to take great delight in squeezing out horrendous, chemical warhead grade dumps that pollute the office for about an hour! What's the general consensus? Do you squeeze the cheeks or let er rip?

Whilst in the seated squat position you should have one hand on the flush handle and the other against the cubicle door.  As those useless wee bolts are not going to stop a fully grown adult male bursting through for dump not realising someone else is already marking the territory.  Upon the turds impact on the surface of the water flush the handle.  This should keep the embarrassment to a minimum.

Good advice. Another technique is to coordinate your squeezes to the hand dryer. Although this requires heavy bathroom traffic to be successful.

Sunshine cyclists/runners/walkers congesting the roads while kitted out like Lance Armstrong or Usain Bolt.

Where the f**k are all these idiots when it is raining or even mildly overcast.

Either exercise consistently or stop being a nuisance when the first ray of sun appears.

A major reason I am glad I never got a smart phone, no constant updates from facebook, e-mails etc.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

Dirty bastards in the gym that don't have a towel with them to wipe down the machines when they're finished dripping over them.  Shouldn't be allowed in.

The fact that you can't look at look at any soccer thread without wading through shit of "wuming". 
It's the same cocks on every thread.  Borrrinnngggggg.
