    If you're a clamper or a traffic warden then I'm sorry but you deserve it.

    On the ad there the younger one (don't know his name) is speaking to a group of locals, might be in a pub. It is genuinely the first time I have not been able to understand a word coming from an Irish person's mouth, despite seeing it three or four times now.

    I had also forgotten about this gem: "In Autumn 2007, Michael Healy-Rae took part in the reality television show on RTÉ called Celebrities Go Wild set in the "unforgiving landscapes" of Connemara. He emerged as the winner having received the largest number of votes from the "viewing public". In June 2011 news broke of a voting scandal, for which journalist Senan Molony received the award for "Scoop of the Year" at the National Newspapers of Ireland's Journalism Awards. It was revealed that Healy-Rae had received 3,636 votes from a phone in Leinster House at a cost of €2,600 to the Irish taxpayer, the premium-rate calls being charged on a tariff designed to raise money for charity.

    I'll put up with the "hassle" of putting on a light and standing outside so as to avoid cold food. I assume you're one of those people who doesn't tidy after themselves in a fast food place.

    That assumption is a rather ignorant leap. My point is that when one has paid for a home delivery one is rather stupid to stand outside waiting for it.

    In a fast food place one does not pay for table service, therefore, yes, I do tidy up after myself. I do not, however, do work that I have paid somebody else to do. In this case, the customer has paid the delivery company to ring their doorbell and hand them a pizza. Standing outside in the cold giving directions is not part of that contract.

    If the company hires people too stupid to find a house then I don't support their business.

    People going to the gym and doing f*ck all while there.

    You don't gain health and fitness just by being present at the gym. Break a sweat!

    When someone has committed a minor criminal infraction and justifies it by saying "Why don't they go after the real criminals?".

    Yeah, wouldn't it be great if people could park wherever they want, whenever they want, without fear of any consequences.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,039 ✭✭✭MJ23


    People who can't do anything on their own, or make a decision.

    People who are unable to close a door.

    The "butter" they use in most petrol stations, delis etc on your roll, is cheap margerine. Horrible stuff.

    Dubliner cheese, made in Cork. Charleville cheese, made in Dublin. WTF?

    Girls who go to the gym in full "night out" make up. These girls then proceed to just stroll on a treadmill. grrrrrrrrrrrrr

    On that people who go to the gym and make out what they're doing is insanely hard. A man monster in there the other day roaring at the top so his lungs with every squat, he was squatting the bar on its own. Sweet Jesus!

    Before I even get to my desk today I have had 2 phone calls and 4 emails to look at for other people. Don't mind me, not like I have anything to do.

    Indeed. When did it become so cool? The same people who use public transport and lifts instead of walking and taking the stairs. Whats that you say? 30 minutes fresh air and free exercise on a cold crisp morning if I walk to work? No thanks, I'd rather pay 300 a year to sweat my balls off with other smelly-balled b*stards :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,468 ✭✭✭✭OldNotWIse


    People who sniffle every ten seconds instead of using a tissue. W*nkers.

    Better close my eyes the next time I'm in the gym, in case I accidentally see someone.

    The full make-up job in the gym, don't understand that at all. It looks so inappropriate and incongruous.

    Yeah, big difference between noticing something and staring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,153 ✭✭✭everdead.ie


    Someone asks question.

    Response Yes I don't know yes < notice the lack of commas.

    I may have mentioned this before, but a couple of years ago, in a sauna at local pool, there is a sign up PLEASE SHOWER BEFORE USE. women would come in, NOT showered (dry hair and smelling of Impulse), I did say it to them, and one said, "sure I will only be a few minutes".....It went on, one says to the other " I swear Mary, I just cant shift the last of the weight to get back in the sixteen" I am thinking, last time she saw sixteen, it was on a bus. It went on, "Honestly, even Easter Sunday, all I ate was ONE sweet" yeah, it must have been a fuucken three piece suite, ya big hippo (to myself)
