What do you hate about Irish people

scientific1982

I hate when Irish people say things like "sure everyone loves us" or "everyone wants to be Irish". No they dont and its fcukin embarrassing.

IvySlayer

Whingers.

bonerm

The begrudgery of course (aka The Irish Disease.)

Davidius

Their habit of self-loathing.

The_D_Man

When they think they have to live up to the stereotype of being alcoholics, especially when abroad.

Cheap Thrills!

Yep, the constant fishing for compliments! You see it all the time in TV interviews of foreign stars: 'how are you enjoying Ireland?/ what do you think of Ireland?'

The person is forced into some trite compliment.

Cringe!

Berty

The downright disgusting GREED!

genericguy

"ah shore t'will be grand".

:mad::mad::mad:

Sergeant

The whole Tayto eating, Wolfe Tone "song" singing, celtic jersey wearing goon you find in Oirish bars around the world.

Cringe inducing creatures.

I hate absolutely nothing about Irish people.
I do however hate people who are always whining about Irish people and compare them all the same:rolleyes:

crazy angel

begrudgery!

also, i hate that we are a nation of joe duffy calling, bleeding hearts

Pretty_Pistol

The G.A.A crowd. I used to work in a bar and they were the worst crowd to deal with. I hated working Sundays.

They're accents, seen them up in bushmills today you should've heard them, first of all its not portbalintra its portbalintray... and secondly its not tree its three!

KindOfIrish

Irish play football by hands. GAA as a whole.

Speak for yourself

Tallaght Saint

The obsession with english football.

Junco Partner

i hate it when we go on the internet posting threads that put ourselves down and saying we're terrible

Mike 1972

I hate the way that Irish people make ridiculous generalisations

The irish are famous for being pissed drunk and "having the craic".
The french are famous for being up their own arses.
The italians are famous for being pig ignorant and shouting a lot.
The americans are famous for being stupid.
The germans are famous for having no sense of humour.
The russians are famous for being alcoholics.
The argentinians are famous for the sleaze.
And the list goes on...

Every bloody nation on the planet has stereotypical traits! Every single one, but that doesn't mean they apply to all in a country and you can't find a lot of good people in them.

I like being irish, and i hate these stupid threads.

leinsterrugby

Says the lad called LeinsterRugby, how is following GAA any different to following rugby?

I hate the way everyone assumes that being irish means you are a drunk. . .

Ulysses Gaze

1. Begrudgery
2. The 'It'll do' attitude
3. The Political apathy that exists in the country.

Nolanger

When we say 'proud to be Irish'. Being proud is something you achieve yourself not what you're given

Finland. And I really would rather be Irish than Finnish. You people need to stop being so modest, there's nothing wrong with being Irish. And Irish people are definitely not ugly. :eek:

People making all these comments against Irish people = Irish people (and obviously utter rides despite their claims that Irish people are ugly) but anyway... I hate the constant whinges of "we're begrudgers" for stuff that isn't even begrudgery a lot of the time. I hate the inferiority complex. I hate the "800 years" nutjobbery.

Cold? It's been about +28 C and sunny for the past three weeks. Last Thursday it was +34 C. I don't know what you consider cold but that's definitely not cold by our standards.
