What annoys you most about PEOPLE?

    Personally there used to be 2 types of people who annoyed me most. Liars and two-faced c**nts... I just don't see the point.

    But a new breed of person is gaining more of my hatred every day that passes. They are all coming out of the woodwork in more recent years and they are in fact the VAIN bastards who use social network sites.

    I'm not talking about the average person but the people who have a camera phone down by their side taking a picture of themselves in the mirror pulling a "sexy" face, pout or pose. It does my head in. Nothing wrong with looking good it's just the vanity that kills me. They have pictures of themselves from every angle and seem to have a "celebrity mentality". But i could be wrong.

    So what annoys you (besides me ranting) about PEOPLE?

    One of the most irritating personality traits for me is negativity. I cannot abide people who are pessmistic about everything, it's SO unattractive. Self-pity is another one. I see a lot of posters like that on here. Fair enough if you have a bad day or something bad's happened, I can understand. But if every single post from you is moaning about how shit your life is, then I want to punch you in the face.

    My life is great you sp**tic. I have two kids and a loving girlfriend. I love it. I'm just sick of being turned down for jobs and stuff and thought it would make an interesting to read thread. You just make presumptions before getting to know someone. Go bite my ball-bag.

    I also dislike, in no particular order:
    small mindedness, ignorance, selfishness, inconsideration, people with no sense of perspective or relativity, people who believe everything they read and see in the media, people with no desire to broaden their minds or experience new things, picky eaters and people (girls more often than not) who are a small size 8 and go on about how fat they are...

    Could probably add to this list, but I don't wish to come across as too negative ;)

    Re the OP;
    Can't abide all those self indulgent pictures either... especially when they carry comments and/or descriptions such as "ugh, state of me", "sooo ugly", "what was I thinking", blah blah blah....

    Did I miss a load of deleted posts or something, or stubble into a private dispute? Or did some random poster, with anger management issues, just hijack the thread with demands that we feast on his testicles, for no apparent reason??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,766 ✭✭✭squeakyduck


    Someone comes in looking for information with a friend/other half. And the other half keeps refusing what you have to offer. Keep your ****ing nose out of it if you aren't interested I'm speaking to someone else you retard!

    Know it alls that come in and spout information about some new gadget that has just been released in Japan etc..... "oh? You don't know about this its got X, Y and Z and B, C, and A" Just go home and shut up you nerd.

    People who yell at customer service reps about things they have done themselves.

    People annoy me! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 61 ✭✭nomh


    People who get insulted when you ask them to do their job, like shop assistants or receptionists who act bothered when you want their help or advice. On the other hand the over eager falsely friendly ones are annoying too.

    Only thing Limerick has going for it these days is the tunnel that allows you avoid the place completely. That being said I loved it when I lived there.

    Anyway what annoys me most about people is when they have drink on board and cut loose on someone they don't like. You can't blame the drink the morning after. Whether it's your stomach or your mind beer only brings out what was in there already.

    Exactly. If you think you're ugly and complain about the pictures of you that you put up, why the hell would you bother putting them up in the first place?

    Exactly, I mean why would you even want to be seen in public if you're ugly?

    There are two types of middle ground.

    1. amazingly efficient service with a scowl ad bad manner.

    2. bad service but with a free hand job.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    The fact that some delight in complaining about/making themselves feel superior to other people and tend to get closer through shared hate than shared love.

    That's about it, though, really.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    people with no sense of responsibility for themselves, like the people who run upp massive bills knowing they cant pay them, then whinge when they lose the service they cant afford because they "need" it.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Poor Ev84 PM'd me to apologise for his outburst, he'd taken me up the wrong way :D

    Still though, bit of a f*cking overreaction.

    I always believe that people only get upset by things they believe to be true.

    Like if you said I was fat, I'd be upset because, well, I'm fat!!!!! So he obviously had some amount of paranoia about being a negative person to go off on one the way he did.

    That's my theory anyway.

    /Dr. Phil

    Anywho, back on topic, totally agree with you ibarelycare, negativity is such an unattractive trait. Paticularly those who always have it worse than you, you have a headache, they have had a migraine for a week!
    Selfishness is something I have no time for.
    General meaness. I hate anything mean.

    I hate materialistic people who measure other people by what they have(keeping up with the jones). There has been an awful lot of it around especially before the recession. i think its calmed down a bit now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I hate people who lie about anything and everything, and make up stories to seem like they've something interesting to say. and people who like these people, cause they're just fools.

    people who insist they're right when you know they're not!

    and people who dont educate themselves about depression and the likes. no its not just being sad every so often. and it's not feeling sorry for yourself.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭podgemonster


    People who constantly try to get one up on any story anyone tells them,
    their experience is that bit more exciting than yours and theres a sense of bullshít about it.
    'oh i saw Arcade Fire last week and....(interupted)
    'i saw them twice last year and they were supposedly way better'
    'Made it from Cork to Dublin in 2.5 Hours'
    'I made it in 2.25hours and I had to stop to pick up savage hitchhiker'
    etc...

    Dont like people who are always in the gym and then critise and joke at people because they arent in such a good shape as them. Whatever its their choice.

    ****ing auld wans with no manners.:mad:

    I was going up the escalator in The Dundrum town centre behind two wide arsed auld wans, gabbing to themselves and ignoring the fact that the whole place was backed up behind them.

    Anyway, I pushed up to 'tail-gate 'them and give them a hint, when one of them kinda bent her knees slightly and unloaded a rasper of a deep throated fart which literally rippled the back of her skirt, and released a ****ing cabbagy stink that you could bring a knife and fork to.

    No apology, no acknowledgment, neither of them batted an eyelid.

    Pair of ignorant tugboats:mad:

    People who interrupt you as you're talking to them. Extremely punch-worthy.

    People who fabricate stories or nights out to make themselves appear more "fun" and "crazy"..........."Oooh, I got soooooo drunk last night, I don't remember a thing...........but I can painfully tell you every single drink I had and downed like the great drinking machine that I am!"

    Opinionated folk who must tell you their opinion for absolutely no reason and why they're right and you're clearly wrong and...........well........stupid.

    Snobby folk who class others on their education / jobs. So what if you went to college? You're still sitting here beside me on the dole / working in a completely different field from what you're qualified in...................ah, but you studied up on "life experience!"................well done.

    People with very low street smarts while acting like they know everything about the "seedy underbelly" because they bought some hash off a mate.

    Nosey people - It's none of your business how much I spend a week on this or that. Usually the types who dig to find flaws in you to make themselves look / feel better.

    Knackers...........nuff said about them, really.

    Hard men walking about with that stupid limp walk, arms out like a gorilla's, and a face like they smelt a bad fart. (It's usually the skinny chaps who do this :pac:) Love to start a fight..............as long as they have some mates with them.

    People who will read random "facts" as truth without ever questioning the source. Really amazing the stuff some people will believe so quickly without any form of reasoning.

    -People who tailgate at high speed when all lanes are blocked, where the fook do you want me to go? And why would i move out of the way so you could tailgate the guy in front of me. Mostly applies to the boy racer types with their fledgling moustache and honda \ mazda \ mitsubishi i can see in the rear view mirror.

    -People who cut queues - yeh i get it, you have important things to do, the rest of us are all on a fooking day off. Inconsiderate swines.

    -People who have no idea the hardships some other families / people have at this present time. I had some gimp bragging at lunch about how he is going skiing with his rich mates, while another guy at the table eats ceral for lunch, and has done quite obviously for months. Going skiing because Daddy pays the mortgage. These people are the ones i hate most, presuming they have the same life as everybody else, when in fact Daddy subsidises their existance.

    -If you are a grown man \ woman (over 21) and you are not supporting yourself, i do not want to hear your opinion. Your opinion does not count as it has not been formed living in the harsh reality of the real world.

    Feels good to get that out.
