Bad habits in public...

Mrs. MacGyver

I 'm just after walking back from work in town and i'm just so annoyed at persons spitting in the street. It's absolutely revolting. i've to walk along Amiens St and Talbot St and i dread that when some one spits behind me it will end up on my shoes etc. It should be a finable offence. Does this annoy anyone or are there other un-street bad habits that really annoy folks out there?

Tell me, have you seen the movie Bubble Boy? Could be the answer to your problems.

People who go to the toilet on the street anyway.

it pisses me off when people (usually skangers) throw waste on the ground when there is a bin right beside them:mad:

Spitting in public? Come on will you ... big bloody deal? How does it affect you? The perception of something as a bad habit varies from person to person and unfortunitly that's life .. the guy spat on the street and not on you!

Thrill

It's disgusting when it turns out to be a dirty big green mushy snot. It can make the stomach turn.

Much better if they bite the bullet and swallow the damned thing.

People who throw litter on the ground.

I honesty believe that they deserve punishment beatings.

Forget drug-dealing or joyriding, littering is most anti-social behaviour of all.

Feckers who stop in the street to have a chat with some bridie or mary that they know. Some of us are in a rush you know and don't have time to play bridie tango.

Other than that, when you're going head on for a person and they go left to avoid you and you go left too....urban dancing.

It's not that easy sometimes!

Black Swan

Hey, look at the positive side of such anti-social behaviour! It signals who they are... Then you can decide if you want to avoid them, or challenge them to a spitting contest.

Schism

Maybe one spit isnt too bad but the guy who spits, swaggers down the street 10 yards and spits again... and again definately has a surplus of saliva

It's as if you read my mind. I hate it, especially mid-day on Grafton Street, it's just full of f**kers walking at a snails pace and getting in your way.
I don't really mind the p*ssing at night - because if you gotta go, you gotta go, but the spitting in the middle of the day is gross.
I hate littering aswell and beggars looking for change for the "hostel" - the official secret word for alcohol - and they look so grubby and the people from concern or whatever bugging you every 10 yards. I don't mind 1, but usually when you tell the 1st one you're in a hurry, the second one of them three seconds away sees you say you're busy and then asks you anyway and also the people who hand out pointless flyers and they trick you into taking one, because you're busy concentrating on walking and it's a reflex to take it when they extend their arm.

Guilty!

I can't help it, I've a long term sinus blockage problem! Had an x-ray last week to reveal the problem and going to the doc again next week. In the meantime, when I have to hock, I do it in a quiet spot when nobody is around.

I'll cop to having done this one - I mean, c'mon. The bouncer wouldn't let me back in from the smoking area to use their toilet, and if you've been drinking beer or cider there's really no way to hold it in. What does annoy me is people doing it on the side of Grafton St.; at least hop up a side alley where you're not in full view of everyone. Spitting, though, is pretty gross, and the above post aside, generally totally unnecessary.

To add to the list:

1) Short people with umbrellas. The amount of times I've nearly lost an eye because of those bastards...

2) The people who amass at the front of the Steven's Green centre whenever it's raining to weigh up whether they should wait for it to stop, thus keeping the rest of us out in the rain for a good 10 seconds longer (which seems like forever when you're getting more and more cold and soaked)

YES, i come home with marks on my neck from these people. Add to that people who bring out those giant golfing umbrellas just for themself and you're onto something.

-Extremely Ugly People: It's cringeworthy to be walking down the road and to see someone so horrifyingly ugly walking towards you. If those people want to walk in public, they should put bags over their head.

So you're telling me if a mate of yours saw you coming, walked over to talk to you on Grafton street you'd just stare him in the face and keep walking ? Some mate you must be :rolleyes:

Don't diss golf umbrellas - they've got so many things going for them;

a) they keep you dry

b) when it's not raining can be used as a walking stick

c) if you're bored you can close it up and pretend it's a sort

d) if someone is annoying you you can whack them with it and it'll hurt them

e) if you had to cross a river, you could turn it upside-down, sit in it and use it as a boat

f) if you bring it down to eye level when there's lots of people around and give it a good spin, there's a chance you can knock several eyes out.

g) if yo had to jump from a great height it would act as a parachute

h) no one tries to speak to you if you have a golf umbrella, because they know, that you'll beat the crap out of them if they do

Hundreds of accidents are caused due to litter. Litter attracts rats and other vermin. Most people fear rats. If litter is lying all over the street, rats are all over the street. Said people see said rats and said people jump to get away from the said rats right into omcoming traffic = messy dead people nationwide due to litter related events.

Spitting was made illegal because it spreads tuberculosis.

Maybe it's because they presume that if you carry a golf umbrella, you are sad and not worthy of speaking to.

Agreed. Also slow, meandering walkers in crowded footpaths. (but only when I'm in a hurry)

Umbrellas. Stupid and dangerous items. Wear a hat.
Bad fashion sense.
Overuse of the word "sorry" as a stand-in for "go **** yourself"

People have to spit. Particularly in town. Phlem is created when dirt gets trapped in your throat and going through town with all the cars a lot gets stuck..
