People in supermarkets who start bagging their messages only when everything has been put through.
This could be so that they can watch what prices are being charged as the items are going through. It's often very different to the price on the shelf. Sometimes you do not get the discounts.
I was overcharged by €8 on a few small items recently. When I queried it the young man added up again on the till and got it wrong a second time. So I do think we can be far too quick to hand over our money,not check prices or check change.
My own pet hate is the incorrect use of the apostrophe for plurals when it is not needed.
Christmas tree's, pork chop's, 5 banana's, etc
Dublin focus on this site.
Sure look at liaconn's post above.
Going into Dublin city centre is never mentioned here, it's going into town and if you don't know that's Dublin they you are supposed to assume it.
I saw many posters going about on Blanch here before I know where that was or what it was.
Other posters looking for something. Recommend me a plumber in town, eh which town?
And if you are from Tipperary, Louth or Cork don't forget that Dundrum town or Blackrock in your county do not exist.
The LUAS is in Dublin, most people know that.
Blanchardstown has more people in it than most towns in Ireland, Dundrum and Blackrock in Dublin are bigger than their namesakes elsewhere so it is when the other Blackrock and Dundrum are mentioned that a distinction should be made.
...name plates for every new sprog she hears about...
All of the above, and...
People who whistle / sing in an open plan office - incredibly distracting, and it's difficult to ask people to stop [mostly because offenders then glare as though you've told them you enjoy torturing puppies, and hope to shoot giant pandas on your holidays]. They're usually out of tune, too. [not the puppies].

That's why you are given a till receipt so you can check the prices. If I am overcharged I never bring it to the attention of the cashier but to the person on customer service. If it's Tesco you get a refund and also keep the item. Although I also use a local Centra that never gives receipts and also has the price display unit turned inwards rather than outwards toward the customer. Another little pet hate.
Oh! and pubs that issue receipts but throw them in the bin rather than give them to the customer.
Hypocrisy - I know of someone who works in a ministers office. This Minister has been on the TV a lot recently explaining about how we need to get real and the cuts are necessary. The same guy had a secretary book Chapter 1 for lunch last week, his daughter arrived and they got the ministerial car over to Chapter 1 had lunch and then he threw the docket to a secretary to be expensed as a "business lunch". €200 well spent when the country is on it's knees - I've just heard him say "we cannot afford to row back on these decisions, we are borrowing €9 million per day at present". Sickening...........
Well saidI don't think anyone is too surprised. Sure is it not taxpayers money hard at work! Sure, we'll have Complainer telling us that the same goes on in the Private Sector.
Well minister that is my money, I paid it over in my taxes. Your quick lunch is a weeks pension for someone better deserving than your offspring.
Agreed. It shut be let drop now.At the moment, the amount of airtime dedicated to the Brand/Ross debacle is really starting to bug me....
I'll admit that the prank was out of order in many respects, but I'm sick to the teeth of hearing about it now!
Agreed. It shut be let drop now.
As in they should be sacked and forgotten about or the press should not acknowledge what they have done anymore? If Pat Kenny, Gerry Ryan etc played the same 'prank' over here do you think we would shut up and get over it? I don't have any real interest in the story but I can see why it is dragging on.
