Irish skipping queues

    Just a little rant,

    What is it with this country with people skipping queues so blatantly and get away with it. Young women in particular are the worst at it. Older women have a bit more grace and men don't skip as much as the women.

    Just makes me angry... does anyone else notice this???

    I'll take that in the humour I'm sure was intended, but insist that you refrain from posting future comments like this as these sorts of jokes are unwelcome by other members of boards.ie on grounds of violence and sexism and sexist violence. Cheerio.

    How come you have to pay someone to rotate your tires? Isn't that the basic idea behind the wheel? Don't they rotate on their own?

    Fir bolgs were pushed into Connaught and continued to exist there. And the point was peoples like the tuath taking the formorians land. It was a clever play on the usual immigrant bashing in AH by mountainyman. God you're a dry one.

    Ah but once someone finds a good skipping spot, it can be hard to beat. Just the right combination of gravel on concrete to make a satisfying da dash sound.

    Depends on wether she's got a nice arse (of course the all have lovely bottoms, I know, I know) or not.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    why couldn't you just say people so? Why the need to pick out a specific race?

    (By the way I'm not really being serious just playing on the "outrage" people would have if you had specified a different race in here. :p)

    It's not that Irish people skip the queue more...
    it's that queue skipping is often ignored and people don't complain enough at the time... (at the time is an important part, when you do complain at the time people often look at you as if you're crazy)
    and in all honesty, what are you going to do about it? Hit the person? Demand in a loud firm voice that they get to the proper place in the line? I'm sure that will work...

    Ignoring bus queue (which I think are a special case) most queues are fairly well respected by most people...
