    Movie, music & television snobbery ......... wtf do you care if somebody likes xxxxx tv programme just because you deem it as "crap".

    Football ........

    Average looking men and (particularly) women who are fussy when it comes to romantic connections ....... they usually end up sad, bitter and alone ........ full of self-pity.

    Facebook ..........

    People who feel an over-whelming urge to strike up a conversation or offer their opinions to complete (and obviously disinterested) strangers.

    The Anti-Religion Brigade ........ be an atheist by all means but can you do it quietly and leave the "faithful" alone? I know they may be deluded in their beliefs but so what!?

    Morning people ............

    People who think it's ok to ask strangers for a cigarette .......... "sure why not, have a feel of my wife and a bite of my burger while you're at it!!" :rolleyes:

    Posters who get offended by smiley faces for some reason :confused::confused::confused:

    Posters who ask other posters "NOT TO SHOUT AT THEM PLEASE!!" ........ reality check, it's not shouting, it's capital letters on a screen ffs!

    Showering.

    I am genuinely astonished when people admit to showering up to twice a day.

    I shower once a month and I am fine and that month includes training twice a week.

    This was normal in secondary school, but everytime the clowns would do badly in a test, they'd be like "ah miss, we didn't go over this in class"

    Internally I would think "yeah we did, except you were doing the exact thing you were not doing right now......like the shutting fcuk up"

    These same guys now in their early 20's are now campaigning/supporting for prominent political candidates, yet they were the last people who'd you want/see running for anything, with there whole fcuk the police ****e

    So seeing eegits acting like shining stars would be my strange complaint.

    This notion here in Ireland that just because you'd rather not put yourself through some discomfort that your 'soft'
    I mean if I have the choice to be out sliding in muck for the sake of it or being nice and comfortable inside I'm going to choose comfort every time!

    I'm not talking about fitness vs being lazy I'm talking about choosing the worse of two options for fear of you being called 'soft'

    Yeah I'd agree on IT departments being boring. I'll be starting full time myself in June, however I've already determined It'll be purely for a 9-5 money making venture over 35-40 years.

    I've worked in IT before and listening to how the rest of the office spent they're "weekend" filled me with boredom and pity.

    Good luck with that. Unless it's the Civil Service, there is no IT department where it's purely 9 to 5.

    Oh we had On-call alright on rotation every 5-6 weeks per staff member. However I've other friends working in both Technical support and development and the vast majority of their working time is spent on a 8 - 4 or 9 -5 basis. Occasional overtime or night shift depending.

    Underwear.
    It's just a pointless, sweat inducing, uncomfortable and unnecessary extra garment.

    nop, a flight or a boat can take you anywhere, the only true indicator you've landed in Eire is the amount of sweatpants.. I mean, I just returned from a trip abroad, at the departure airport I didn't even have to look up the gate, when I saw suspicious concentration of grey sweatpants I knew I was at the right gate

    Definitely not me, no. I've never corrected anyone for saying that. Nope, not me. Never. That would be terribly pedantic, so of course I've definitely never done that. At all, ever.
