The ultimate sign of a world class tosser is a pesky cycling advocist who defends the current cycling behaviour of jumping red lights, cycling on paths, cycling at night without lights, cycling without a bell and yelling at people in your way, banging on car windows, cycling and using the phone, cycling in the middle of a road and calling it "defensive cycling", not using provided cycle lanes, cycle with little or no safety equipment (Helmets, Hi-vis, etc.), cycle with earphones in, and just being downright dangerous with no regard to safety...

These "tossers" can be easily identified as those who continuously moan about everything that relates to cycling and then resort to sarcastic comments to try make light of situations. They have this profound sense of entitlement to road usage and are artistic complainers.

There is no excuse for any of this...irregardless if cycling is good for health and the environment, it is only mode of transport that suits a small select few people who live in specific areas like cities. Get over yourselves!

People who have an unhealthy obsession with those who chose one form of transport over another and uses several forums on boards.ie to vent it.

Cunts who amalgamate the word irrespective with the word regardless and come up with irregardless. These are arch-****.

Just in case anyone wants a bit of context to this, pop over the Cycling forum and see how Roadhawk's 'full Clarkson' rants get patiently answered with facts and evidence. Facts and evidence seem to really get up his nose for some reason.

People who think that guys holding 'stop' and 'go' signs during roadworks don't apply to them. Was driving to work yesterday and came along to some roadworks taking place in the opposite side of the road. I got the 'GO' sign to proceed but this auld bint in a nissan micra drove through the 'STOP' sign on the opposite side and there she was coming head on towards me in my lane before she swerved over just in time to her own side and kept going like the wheels of hell, seemingly oblivious to the accident she could have caused.

Drivers in charge of (was almost going to say 'in control of') 2 tonnes of speeding vehicle who drink alcohol and drive, who use phones for speaking and texting and tweeting and Facebooking while driving with one or no hands, who blare out their favourite music on the radio or CD for the doubtful benefit of other people, who fail to indicate in time to warn others, rush to get through traffic lights as or after they turn so they won't have to wait 180 seconds max, who stare straight ahead and don't see more vulnerable road users, who boorishly refuse to let other drivers or other road users have right of way, who blare horns at people who waste their precious life-threatened time by making them wait a few seconds before taking off when lights go green (perhaps to let the aged blind lady hobble slowly across, damn her), who approach junctions at too great a speed and swerve around corners, who drive alone in the car rather than carpooling, who take advantage of clever tricks so they can speed through lights on empty roads, regardless of who may be coming towards the junction going the other way, who scream abuse at other road users, who park selfishly in bus and cycle lanes, who drive in bus lanes…

God, some people have a pathological hatred of anyone that does not cycle..

:rolleyes:

I find the biggest tossers are people with a superiority complex.. You know the ones.

The "I have money so you will treat me like royalty" or the "Do you know who my father is" types.

There was one twat in the off license tonight. He was buying €400 of wine so thought it entitled him to jump the queue. He had a little rant when he was told to go to the back.

Tosser.

Tradesmen who tell you the will be out between certain times and then don't show up or call you to say they will be late / not able to make it.

Also people who say the will call you back and then don't.

Oh, God, yes. In America they add a clause to the contract that takes money off the payment for every day it goes over schedule.
It's idiotic of the tradesmen too - they spend more time in traffic rushing from job to job to do a bit here and a bit there than they do actually completing the work.
There's no excuse for it in a time of mobile phones.
And all the hate they engender from people who have to stay in, drumming their fingers, to wait for them must be bad for their karma :P

It's not idiotic, they double book jobs at will, or push you back to give a more profitable job priority. Sometimes they'll start a job to get you 'locked in', as in you can't turn around and tell them to jog on when your sink is disconnected and there's a skip on your driveway, then go off do a load of other jobs before eventually coming back to yours.

There's ways around it, but you're nearly better off just getting a better builder

People with inflated egos in the workplace do my head in.

I teach an evening class to earn some extra money, in a small college of ill-repute to people who are studying for professional exams. It isn't an academic job by any measure. But there's an eejit who also teaches another evening class, and I'm amazed he hasn't yet arrived in academic robes, so seriously does he take himself.

The first sign came when he sauntered through a doorway I held open for him, nose in the air, without acknowledgement (presumably he thought I was a student). Immediately I knew the notions were high on this one. Last night I was eavesdropping in the lobby, when I heard him reproach a non-EU student for having asked a simple question about homework. The admins in the programme office have confirmed that his arrogance is indeed unbridled. Linkedin declares him to be a college lecturer, rather a grand title for someone who teaches book-keeping to 15 people.

I can't stand people like this. This isn't a university. A lot of the class are mothers and fathers, some of them returning to education. It boils my blood to think of them being condescended to by that magnificent twerp. I hope he's reading this.

This has happened to me so many times over the years, that when the plumber I had arranged to call at 9.00 last Saturday morning actually arrived at 9.00 last Saturday morning, I was still in the bed fast asleep thinking he either wouldn't arrive or would pony up around 11.00. I was on the backfoot for the rest of the day, with the speed I had to jump out of the bed, get dressed and belt down to the door to let him in.

I know, it's shocking when it happens! I had a guy from Virgin out last Saturday. Got a text mid-week saying he'll be there between 9 and 1pm on Saturday, then a text on Saturday saying he'd be there between 10 and 11. He strolls up at 10:10 and I'm looking at him like he has two heads.

This is technically the same company that once cost me two days leave to wait for engineers who didn't show up

People who reply to a thread in after hours complaining about poor service etc with "Have you complained directly to the extablishment" or "What is posting it in After Hours going to achieve?" Or something similar.

FFS surely the whole point is one can have a rant or a light hearted discussion without having to have demonstrated you first followed the complaints procedure and through the correct channels.
