    Surely the Padre Pio stickers are the preserve of sweet old ladies?
    Have you seen anybody under 60 with those stickers?

    My granda stuck one in my car (for protection) right over the check engine light. So everytime i wanted to check the light (cause the car was havin a bit of trouble) I'd have to look away from the road and try and quickly angle myself so i could see in behind it.

    Grown ups who don't drive.
    A colleague mentioned in passing that his wife doesn't drive. I've never met her but I inexplicably think less of her now that I know that!

    Tightfisted mean hungry bastards.

    Men who are not into both sports or music and don't drink. Immediately I feel they must be satan.

    Vegans. I have never met a vegan I haven't thought is a tool.

    I think less of adults who cannot swim.

    Probably for the best, the last thing we need is another woman driver on the road... :-D

    I have no issue with people who smoke. I do have issue with the people that start smoking with asking their friends if it is okay.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 812 ✭✭✭Dog of Tears


    People who go to Fortune Tellers.

    I can never think of them as anything but stupid.

    Yes I'd love to breathe your second hand poison, fire away! :)

    People who refuse to pronounce a person's name correctly, like using the English pronunciation of an Irish-spelled name.

    or ((football AND hurling) or music) and don't drink?

    I'm really struggling to parse your phrase :(

    If, like the pasty hipsters in front of me right now, you have ever listened to music or watched something on your phone with the volume up and no headphones on public transport, you are a selfish, dirty ar$ehole, no debate.

    If one were to pronounce it as a Korean would it's actually Hyun - 'day' not Hyun - 'die' as most would pronounce it.

    For some reason they romanized it as Hyundai, which isn't how both common romanization systems would do it leading to mispronunciation.

    *pedantry*

    People thinking they can pretend they don't see you because they are inside their car and then stealing your parking spot

    Worse is people who "correct" you on the pronunciation of your own name.

    People who've done a world trip and think they've travelled themselves interesting. Nope, you're a bore with lots of passport stamps.

    'Photographers', yep, that's a profound picture of puddle you have there.

    Bloggers who write about themselves instead of interesting subject matter.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,541 ✭✭✭Bigmac1euro


    Band Wagoners,

    ''The type that listen to certain music and dress a certain way because they think its cool,
    Not because they actually like it or appreciate it''

    The current young male trend of having thick beards with Hitler Youth hairstyles. There are so many of them around these days that I was wondering are they coming off a production line somewhere or being cloned in some lab.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 158 ✭✭obsidianclock


    People who park in bus stops... I went absolutely ape on a guy who did this at my workplace a couple of days ago... :)

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

    Haha.

    A person who does not like any sports.

    This person does not like music either.

    And does not drink.

    Possibly the most boring people on earth. The digital camera has a lot to answer for. "Oh Look, a bug on a flower. How very deep of you."

    Primarily those who "shape" their eyebrows like women.

    Turns me into an instant teeth grinder.
