A lot of people seem to be more irritated at Christmas

The Jammy dodger

Coming up to Christmas I noticed a lot of people getting really irritated at one another and everything. Is it a depressing time of year or what? I mean its supposed to be the season to be jolly, not a wally.

Driving with me dad today up town and stop at a junction. This guy out of the blue parks along side another fella, rolls down the window and starts dropping the F-bomb and saying ''whats your &%$ Problem?'' it then turns into road rage before our very eyes. By the time we got parked, my dad let me know its only 70c an hour seeing as its Christmas, this lady passes me out of the blue in a big huff and shouts at me as I am getting a ticket: ''You think the bastards would give you parking for free seeing as it's Christmas''.

I let out a big laugh because I met so much other irritated people this week that it eventually just made me laugh at the silliness of it all.

A lot of people a ARE STRESSED OUT. and they need to RELAX its just one day.

Where To

It's all the Christmas threads that irritate me.

Christmas isn't as fun when everyone is broke and people realise no one really gives a **** about anything but spending vast amount of money of rubbish that no one wants anyway

This seems to be no different to any other time I've been in Ireland

People complaining about petty shít that doesn't really matter anyway, I think were masters of the universe at it.

I was singing like a smurf getting off the Plane in Dublin Airport.

10 Minutes with a Dublin Taxi driver and I was fit to hang meself.

Hippies!

Sorry Bud, hangin' yerself in the taxi, that's 50 quid extra.

I'm not a big fan of Christmas but I hate how people call me grouchy etc just because I don't share their zeal for the season. I'm no more of a grouch at Christmas time than I usually am. It's everyone else that becomes slightly manic at this time of year.

Why are you all getting irritated about people that are irritated?

Because we're all sold a pack of lies about what christmas is supposed to be by every goddamned advertisement when in reality it's just the same turgid food, the same turgid people and the same goddamned 'presents' every ****ing year with the same hollow 'pretend-to-give-a-****' about everyone else followed by the same

Nobody has a Christmas like the one on TV.

We all just sit around slowly enfattening while watching the same boring films, discussing the same old ****e and playing the same old card while the old ones die off and tyhe young ones **** off and I CANT STAND THE SOUND OF PEOPLE EATING BESIDE ME!!

It's a load of ****. We're being sold nothing but a humbug.... one populated by Dull. Boring. People.

people trying to brush the bad in life under the carpet and pretending to act all cheerful while there is a myriad of bad sh1t going on in the background. I fooking cant stand the fakeness of it all

Very sweeping statements there.

Hope you find people you actually want to spend time with. It doesn't seem like Christmas is the problem here.

Hmmm .. My Christmas is usually drinking beer, playing board games and watching willy wonka and the chocolate factory or something like that on telly.

Nobody sold me Christmas, the above is what I look forward to.

I might go mad this year and Watch Star Trek II the Wrath of Kahn ..... again ...


KAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNN

I'm disgusted that people just keep going on and on about God, Jesus and the birth of Jesus, and nobody has really mentioned buying presents and going on the beer.

Pottler

I've noticed that there's a really tense, cranky atmosphere out there as well, missus was in Dublin the other day and said everyone was cranky as feck. I blame Fine Fail, personally.:D

Mince Pie

Probably to do with the fact that a hell of a lot of people feeling squeezed till there's not an ounce left. I know I am. I would be quite happy to be knocked out and just wake me up when Christmas is over.

TheUsual

I get more irritating rather than irritated.
It's the secret to a longer life.

KyussBishop

It's probably the gobloads of fake enthusiasm/happiness which makes people cranky; only so much fakery people can stand, with a smile stapled to their face, before they start to crack a bit.

rainbowdrop

Your so right OP!

I work in a call centre, and you'd get your fair share of cranky fcukers ringing in normally, but it'd be balanced out by nice people ringing also.

It's been getting worse gradually over the past few weeks, but yesterday and today has been non stop cranky bastards all day long, moaning about the most retarded of stuff. It's like everyone is so stressed about about food and presents and where they're going to get the money for them, that the nearer to Christmas it get's the angrier they get.

Calm the fcuk down like, it's only one day a year!

Smidge

I just got an earful of abuse(calling me a cu*t, among other choice names)while I was putting stuff out in the bin(this was at about 10.30pm) by two men ina car who had stopped outside of my house.

My offence, you ask???

Having some xmas lights up :mad::mad::mad:

The Jammy dodger

Yeah I'm tellin ya lads. I am thinkin about getting out there and buying a bullet proof vest and and some armour before things progressively get worse and I honestly fear for my life here lol.

I guess people are irritated but they have nobody to blame but themselves, getting sucked into the false Christmas spirit of materialism. I have a dislike for Christmas trees in my house. especially the lights. Its flashing in front of me now and its annoying me to no end. I am so IRRITATED RIGHT NOW LOL but its what da wife wanted. I also spent 150 euro on my son. I don't think that was too bad. And I always find a house to crash in for Christmas dinner so I don't have to buy the food and beer and I'm sorted :P. Anyone who buys me a present I tell them ''its such a shame I am on the dole otherwise I'd....''

I was thinking of writing a handbook on how to survive Christmas what do you think?

Thank you Fionn. I work very hard every day and love my job. I work so hard I probably wouldn't have the time to write all that wisdom to be honest lol.
