Things that piss you off...

Flight from Akld to Wgtn: 1 hour

Drive from Airport to K-town: 1 hour

Lostprophets singer pleads guilty to child abuse!! One of my favourite bands too

Being honked for giving way to traffic coming from my right at a roundabout.  Fancy that!!

Not being able to get tix to see Jimmy Carr in Jan cause of pending op.

Mistaking the accelerator of my car for the brake and munting the shed doors. Not very happy with myself right now. One rather unpleasant phone call to the landlord coming up shortly.

Grrrr.

Kids, Cream coloured Carpet and Orange Drink..... Grrrrr

Cream coloured carpet pisses me off too. 

Why would you put someone's CLEAN washing in the bathroom sink?! My room is literally three steps away, throw it on my floor NOT in the feckin sink where we brush our teeth!!!

Because you work for the Dom Post?

Lols

The same people at work who will gladly eat your birthday morning tea shout & not bid you a happy birthday &/or a "thank you" or even acknowledge you're there!!

The inevitable Christmas day lecture about getting a boyfriend and having babies.

Unfortunately for my family the lads on the pod lied - I have no boyfriend. Also heaven forbid one of the mods was my baby daddy, poor poor child that would be.

Oh? Surprised you are single with your outgoing pleasant personality.

Having to leave home at 4.45am to get to the airport.

To the Hugely obese F*cker at the Lighthouse at Pauatanhui during the Hobbit today. Who had to eat x 3 bags of lollies possibly Skittles through around a 3rd of the movie. Thank you for adding your own brand of sound effects. It really added to the movie.

If you Mother is reading this, (you went with her today), mum why did you not instill some sort of discipline in your child when it comes to food? Why could he not settle for one bag of Skittles?

He was hardly going to starve during the film was he?

So let me get this straight...you wanted to punch a fat bloke for eating too many skittles??

You'd only lose a hand in the abyss. 

You've got issues if that winds you up that much. Just be thankful you have it better.

I work at a cinema and occasionally get people like this. What gets me is they'll get all this food then go "oh I better have a diet coke" or when you ask them if they want cream on their sundae they go "oh nah I'd better not"

Farking seriously?! 

Actually I wouldn't take to the guy.  I like all skittles really.

But I do sympathise with FT.  If someone was eating noisily nearby for much of the film I would be extremely annoyed.  Unfortunately as it is dark you can't do passive aggressive stares so a few firm words would seem to be warranted.

We saw the Hobbit on Tuesday at Reading - 'twas good (Peter Jackson as the first character of the first scene).  A smattering of other people all sitting and eating quietly.  No violence was required.

Is the problem the fat person eating too much food or the fat person making too much noise? I can sympathise with the latter but I couldn't care less about what someone else is eating whether its soy milk and celery or two pizzas and a diet coke.

It's the latter if I read FT's post correctly.  

But of course it would be nice to lecture the lad and his mum on good eating habits too!

(in my case)

Enjoyed this debate "specially" JV's post, (see what I did there?) Well done Jeff that made me laugh!

No - more than happy for the guy at the film to eat himself into the grave, it's his choice.

My point is that in times past it was ok to have a word if someone was being a twat. Now you can't. It's that simple.

Always thought I was gen x but now you've got me thinking JV...

(definitely tick two out of the three)

Kids these days!

Thing is this guy would have been late 20's early 30's in the cinema. Can't the cinema give out bowls or something?

And a candidate for diabetes.
