Your most hated profession?

    What profession do you hate the most?

    Mine would have to be used car salesmen, I just don’t trust them. I don’t think I’ve ever walked away from a garage feeling I’ve got a good deal. The car your trading in is always worth fcuk all despite the fact you bought it off him for 8 grand two years ago but you still go back because better the devil you know… The price advertised is always 'the cash' price so its really more expensive particularly now that you've shown some interest... i could rant on but i wont

    So what is yours and why?

Yesterday this lad approached me and asked did I know what Trocaire was...noooo idea what that is, please enlighten ya stupid fcuk

    Barristers and lawyers. Scumbags who will chance anything for a bit of money. Outrageous rip-off fees and the law society has disgraced itself enough times over the past few years.

    Thats pretty much what its like, people you dont know wasting your time to try and weasel some money out of ya.

    "Hey you stranger, wanna buy some insurance ? Switch to bog man spud powered electricity machine ? I see you looking at that 80 euro TV perhaps you want to spend an extra 4 grand on a surround sound/dvd/blu ray system to go with it." "Actually I dont even want a TV I'm looking for a double adapter" "Wow great choice sir, may I suggest a washing machine/microwave and American style fridge freezer to accompany that?"

    How many people go into a shop with a ball of cash not knowing what they want ? Or sit at home waiting for someone to knock on the door to sign them up for some stupid unheard of insurance plan ? Its bullying easily led and awkward people out of money is all it is.

    Those smarmy sh*theads who sit in the background on computers of action films like the Bourne Identity, Die Hard 4(though they were double crossed ha ha), Enemy of the state and Salt. Harvard CIA recruits who are too skinny to hold a gun. Always glad when they die horribly.
