    What makes you outraged?

    1. People who pull out on top of you at a junction and then proceed to drive away slowly.
    2. People who drive 5km under the speed limit and you cant over take them
    3. People who drive in the overtaking lane when they are not over taking anything.

    Basically the above 3 will send me from Happiness to 100% rage.

    Oh God yeah, they are all in a hurry to get out in front of you and then they hold up everyone.

    Driver 11 is already in gear with his foot on the clutch, waiting for the cars ahead to move, when the lights turn red.

    This is why I hate driving to work. Outrage. Nothing is worse.

    Moral outrage.

    Is just jealousy with a halo... According to H.G. Wells


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,828 ✭✭✭5rtytry56


    Seeing a stranger's disgust that I have not taken their advice whether they're right or wrong. Prevalent amongst Irish people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 265 ✭✭When the Sun Hits


    Double standards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Being falsely accused of anything to a 3rd party. And I don't mean like being accused of stealing, but simple things like telling someone I said something I didn't, or, "Oh, seamus was really worried when X happened". Or that day when a guy cut in front of me in a car wash queue and then shook his head at me like I was in the wrong.

    I don't know what it is, just makes my blood absolutely boil. And it's really only when there's a 3rd person involved. Said straight to me, it doesn't bother me that much, but when someone else hears something untrue about me, I just lose it.

    This is a good one. I've never been as outraged as when I was driving the correct way round a one way system and a guy was coming the wrong way so I had to pull in to let him by and he starts shaking his head at me shouting that it's one way. I really wanted to chase him out of the carpark to explain that it was actually him going the wrong way. No idea why.

    Animal cruelty and anything to do with it. Thread a few days ago about the lad who killed the dog in Dublin but was let off due to 'being on prescription drugs and having no history of animal cruelty'. What the fcuk like..

    People who say they are outraged....

    People who get offended over everything and the current societal shift towards gagging everything and anything even remotely offensive.

    In the words of Stephen Fry:

    “It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so ****ing what."

    Liars.

    People who twist their own actions around on you by telling blatant lies.
    For example, they would seek you out and have an aggressive shouting match (privately with no witnesses) about something you did that they didn't like, while you yourself would calmly and matter-of-factly argue your point.

    They would then tell all and sundry that it was in fact you who had a full blown tantrum at them, and that it was they who calmly tried to argue their point and portray themselves as the victims in their own mental melodrama.

    People like that make me outraged.

    The truly farcical sentences (or lack of sentences) being handed down by the courts in recent times.

    People cycling on footpaths.

    People who are in front of you in the queue and act surprised when the shop assistant asks for x amount of euro for their purchases. Then out comes the handbag. The root around for the purse. They then take out the credit card, look at it, put it back in and then root around for the cash.

    Drives me nuts. We've been in the queue for five minutes because every other idiot did same, you could have at least got your money ready then.

    That drives me f cking insane.

    Can I go one more and say at airports while we wait to go through security, people wait till they get to the end before taking off their jacket, their belt and taking out their phone etc. What about doing all that in the queue and putting it in your bag rather than hold the rest of us up?? Inconsiderate assh0les

    And people queuing at an ATM for ages, and at their turn they decide to plonk the handbag up on the machine and start looking for the wallet/card. It would be great if ATMs could be rigged to give electric shocks to anyone hogging them for excessive amounts of time.

    You left out:

    4. Inconsiderate buffoons who should really take the bus instead of driving 5km below the speed limit with nothing in front of them, then timing their arrival at a set of traffic lights which go red just before they dribble through.
    5. Pillocks who drive inconceivably slowly when a road is twisty then drop a gear and floor the accelerator as soon as a piece of straight road with dashed white line shows up.

    I despise these people. Looking all around them instead of looking at the lights and making sure they are ready to go when they turn green.
