I mean... I don't even know where to begin. If you replaced 'this person' with 'my black friend' would you feel as free to generalise as you did above?

Preposterous. It would be wrong to judge a person on their skin colour because among other things they can't control their race (interesting that you'd conflate race and weight for some reason). Able bodied people are very much in control of their weight. You know this, quit throwing a non sequitur into the conversation

I mean Mary Harney was an extremely obese person, based on your logic I'd be okay to assume all my fat friends were going to end up in politics. So you are a savant who can see past the fatness in people's life to the true nature of their personalities, which as you have adduced is complete degeneracy. FFS, as if fat people weren't in every level of profession and power. Do you realise what you sound like? Wake up.

??? I don't know what to make of that, I never said obese people are bad people. Feel free to draw my attention to anything suggesting that.

And what do you, in your privialged position of judgement think of them when despite their best efforts they fall of the wagon and fail to meet your standard of behaviour?

I admire people who try, I judge people who don't try and blame other forces for their own problems. You do it too, you just don't admit it. This isn't about fat or skinny, it's about attitude.

Just as I reserve the right to think you are someone preaching to others about how they ought to feel and behave in a situation where you have no basis to do so. And if I am wrong who gives a **** because you told me I have the right to reserve?

If I'm to give my friendship time and loyalty to someone in my life, I'll be giving it to someone who takes responsibility for their situation. We all discriminate and filter people in our lives. It just so happens the person I'm talking about had a cavalier attitude to his health as well other serious matters, and would even go so far as to self diagnose as to why he was overweight. His lifestyle denial was just one manifestation of his mentality, which was juvenile. I don't have time for that drama in my life and by all means judge away.

Did your prejudice deduce that I was a fatty too? What else did it tell you?

The only people I'm prejudiced against are those who have a crap attitude and make excuses. If you want to frame me as a person who has an irrational hatred of overweight people go ahead, I maintain friendships with all sorts of people including those who would admit they could do with losing a few pounds for their health. More interesting is what is it in your own life that my post made you so angry?

Mammy and Daddy specifically. Any other derivative is fine.

I tend to be suspicious of men who have very intricately shaped and trimmed beards and obviously carefully co-ordinated clothes, and women who wear the kind of makeup that consists of about twenty products and who you have to avoid hugging in case half their face winds up wiped off on your shoulder. I suspect that they spend too much time thinking about what they look like and not enough thinking about other things.

I actually like most people, hate no one, and at worst am indifferent to people I don't warm to.

wretcheddomain

People who stay at home in their 30s and 40s and refuse to grow up - relying on Mammy and Daddy to solve their every problem and feed them their every meal.

Rosie Rant

People who take up so much space in a thread arguing back and forth, quoting every bloody point made and picking it to pieces. A little bit of arguing is grand. It's the internet. But it annoys me when at least one of the posters is just a wind up merchant, looking for gratification from their fellow sh*t stirrers. Have it out via pm if you care so much. I certainly don't care to read all that sh*t. I read certain threads to be amused. One in particular never lets me down. I just hate having to skip a bunch of mindless crap. I do not read this site to be bored. I read it because I want to be entertained. Certain kn*bheads let it down. Sorry, rant over.


And the fast scrolling makes my phone act up, freeze and quit out of the internet which p*sses me off too .

Fellas thinking they are trendy wearing wool hats in the middle of summer when it's about 20 degrees.

Day Lewin

Mucky teeth. Ugh - how can they not notice that their mouth has green scum and their breath smells? And this is really common.

Also, twitty people who squeak "and I'm, like, YAY!"

and Beige people - whose clothing, skin, shoes, hair, handbags and opinions, are all in shades of beige.

Forums instead of Fora.
Poncy hipster beards
Those button tooth things from duffel coats as ear lobe tribal wannabe things.

Going on about how 'cool' some kind of sweet from the 80's was.
People who say 'we' when talking about some foreign football team.
People who insist that they buy you a drink just cos theyre ready and you are half way through yer own! And then get huffy when you dont repay the favour...hey it was either a goodwill gesture or it wasnt now foff.
Folk who dont get CurbYourEnthusiasm.
Religious folk who think they know the mind of god.

Paul Galvin style 'fashionistas' who look they got dressed on crack.

On the whole I am fairly emotionally frosty. I could give and take insults with ease. But thw one thing I can't bear is being thought of as tight-fisted towards good causes. I think it's one of the worst characteristics in anyone.

Fair enough, you are wise to spare your money when it comes to frivolous things. But when it comes to witholding money from friends or charity, to behave selfishly is really shameful in my opinion. I'd dread anyone accusing me of that, and I have no time for anyone I'd consider overly-thrifty.

I've numerous complaints that turn me off certain people,

Irish people who wear GAA jerseys while on holidays abroad. I avoid them like the plague.

Noisy eaters. I want to stab them.

People with bad personal hygiene. Disgusting sods.

The current trend that nearly most young guys have as a hairstyle. Irritates the fcuc out of me. What a stupid stupid hairstyle.

Realt Dearg Sec

Irish people who call men "blokes". Or call buns "cupcakes". Catch a hold of yourselves.

Actually, any grown adult who uses the word "poo" as well.

BeatNikDub

People who sit on the outside of seats and make you climb over them.
Height of rudeness and makes me so angry I think would truly fall out with a friend over i!

dudara

People who immediately sit in the Disabled/elderly seats on buses when there are other seats available

Smokers who throw their cigarette butts way on the ground without trying to find a bin (applies also to any form of littering)

People who don't look behind them as they walk through a door and don't hold it open for others following, followed by people who don't check that the door is closed behind them

People who recline their seats on short (ie under 2 hours) flights

My son wants to name our baby Turbo when it's born

There's a guy in the animal and pet issues forum who took in a kitten, his son wanted to name it Finbarr Cobblepot. Went to a boards vote and guess what name won? :P kids pick the best names.

We got quite a few interesting names on that!! But yes kids picking names is a bit dodgy... I say joint efforts should be involved! :P

also people who use others. Just....No.....

people who are mean to retail/restaraunt workers

people who arent polite in general.. ( not overly but if someone holds a door or whatever a smile and thanks don't cost the earth!!)
