    I'd say health insurance is in your own interest no?

    Took a no 2 before a shower, thought I'd just shower off. Ended up with a heap of ****e on my hand

    You could just have a dump in the shower.

    In an ideal world, I'd like not to be paying for somebody else's debts. Thank you, Universal Social Charge.

    I haven't paid our water bill yet. I'm not refusing to pay it though, just waiting to see whether Irish Water will survive or not.

    Toilets. If I have to give 20c to use the toilet I expect it to be in the upper percentile of toilets. I have been disappointed every time I have had to pay.

    I wouldn't mind paying it, if it was fair, say 250 a year.

    But no. You dare to have a 2 litre or over the Bastards will nail you to the Cross with the rustiest nails in the world.:mad:

    Okay I know I might be just feeding but none of those allowances are part of the dole. In fact most of the people getting children's allowance or medical card aren't on the dole.

    Probably cheaper than the shower now with the water charges!

    You need to get one of those hoses, or a bidet :p



    It's more of an optional charge but I hate paying tips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,763 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    You could just have a dump in the shower.

    Or not bothre buying a shower and just wash by sccoping handfuls of toiletwater out of the bowl...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    this is the first thing I thought of reading the thread title, whoever runs the Stephen's Green centre can fupp off if they think I'm paying to take a dump.

    Private clamping.

    The idea that someone can set up a private company and immobilise my vehicle is ridiculous. The fact that its a pretty lawless business just encourages me even more not to pay.

    Irish water - no one else is paying why should i

    TV licence - never watch any of the main Irish channels so I'd rather not help pay Joe duffys quarter million wage

    So basically a childish narcissistic excuse.. nobody else is paying so I am not paying, its not true that nobody is paying.

    If you don't pay everyone else pays for you it does not go away.

    It's true. The paid for toilets are crap. Probably they would be even worse otherwise though.

    Dog license, if and when I get a dog.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭melted_face


    music . it's genuinely easier to just rip an mp3 off a youtube video nowadays then it is to go into itunes to download the same song. it may not be morally justifiable but i'd also find it hard to justify going to extra effort just to pay for something i can get for free.

    Most products of the "arts & humanities". It only serves to encourage more kids who "can't do maths" to go to university and get a BA in Comparative Literature or Art History or whatever. Though I will make exceptions for classical music: you don't get to play that in public unless you're really talented and disciplined, and have put the hours in.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I don't refuse to pay for it, bit I hate paying for......

    Extortionate bank charges.........daily use, not even considering DIRT

    Dog licence (I love my dog, but can't see the point of a licence)

    TV licence .... Notice the theme but really they are charging the advert companies enough

    Water..... We live in a beautiful yet really wet country

    At work when someone leaves, gets pregnant, have a baby, gets engaged, new haircut etc you feel you have to contribute to the 'fund' or be the stingy one even if you don't like them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,299 ✭✭✭spiralism


    Music, TV or Movies. It's a little morally dubious but I don't have the money for them and they're freely available to me off torrent sites.

    Also, TV in general.. I can stream a match or go to the pub for it, i watch approximately **** all scheduled programming that isn't sport. It's all there online sure.
