    Poeple who go travelling and get pictures of themselves with some animal that's been injected with a load of tranquilisers.

    Don't even have the self awareness to realise it's animal abuse.

    People who lose a few lbs on Slimming World/Weight Watchers diet and celebrate with a chipper and then are usually back to the same weight & will rarely maintain weight loss.

    It's better than just eating the chipper to be fair! :pac:

    Recruitment Consultants who act like they've your best interest at heart and are trying to match you with the most suitable role and then send you a spec for a completely different role that you're clearly not qualified for or interested in.

    I had one girl the other day tilt her head to one side at the end of the interview and through pouted lips said 'awww, we'll find you something soon, chin up'.
    It was so insincere. She also asked me if I'd like to temp to keep me 'ticking over' despite me telling her that I'm currently working but looking for something new.

    I haven't heard from her since. Condescending hoe!

    A 'mini' marathon.

    Walking the women's mini marathon. Lady in work does it every year, trains for it too. She isn't old or fat she could easily run it.

    Talks about it constantly for about 3 months coming up to it as if she is an endurance athlete.

    Anybody who keeps on crowing about how they got accepted on a third level course whatever it may be. Often they also trumpet how they got into a certain establishment.

    They still have to pass the exams, not to mind study.

    And if you don't have kids or thinking of having them you're clearly not as great as they are.

    We get it, you're an incredibly heterosexual mad bastard.

    Via smartphone/tablet/laptop. :)

    Also complaining about social media and the way face to face conversation is dying, and they wish they could leave their phone at home for the day (well do, so!)... through social media. :pac:

    People with ''Gifted'' children. They could be as thick as 2 short planks but not in their parents eyes.
    Anything to do with Resident Associations, normally a few fcukwits involved there too..

    The martyrs who come into work when they're sick, when they should be home in bed.

    You'll take longer to get better, be as good as useless and get half the office sick along with you. But sure as long as you look good to the boss, isn't it great.

    Unless you absolutely have to be there, don't.

    I hate to be that guy but...

    Did your glorified kindergarten attendant never teach you to start a sentence with a capital letter and finish it with a full stop?

    Oh, it can get even better...the ones worried about "privacy"; You know, the ones that have the little piece of tape on their laptop's webcam, furiously argue against stuff like the Xbox Kinect "eavesdropping" on them - and yet carry a smartphone/tablet even to the toilette :D

    Parents putting up pictures of their kids 'graduating' from playschool. Get a grip. Never mind the gown and mortarboard, there's probably a sh*t in his nappy.

    People with Range Rovers in town...like they're going on safari in Donnybrook.

    Also people obsessed with "detoxing." If your liver isn't doing that for you, you need a hospital - not a kale/avocado/acai/wheatgrass smoothie.
