    Why people watch stuff like X Factor, Love Island, Big Brother or similar.

    Holy Fcuk Yes. This. I just cannot fathom why people watch this and then they talk about it like they know the people. Then of course the people in it become 'celebrities'

    The whole celebrity culture is such BS.

    How some people are born with personalities that give them some sort of God like power and dominion over their lives, end up in the right line of work, their faces always fit, they marry the right person and are generally able to influence how others percieve them whilst others are born with personalities that make them victims of circumstance, targets for piss taking and bullying, fail at work and relationships, **** up all the time and have no social capital or respect.

    Its the 'Pecking Order'

    definition: an informal social system in which some people or groups know they are more or less important than others.

    People who hold the Irish football team in high regard when in reality they're a pretty dull "hoof it - head it" outfit.

    People who record everything on their phones .Why can't they enjoy concerts,school plays,sporting events ect.without having their phones out constantly recording..it's so annoying to be somewhere and some dipsticks have their phones stuck up in the air continuously.

    Text speak--how hard is it to type one or two more letters?Instead youve removed that many letters from the text that I need to use google translate to understand it.

    Pre-Ripped Jeans
    Those gamers on you tube that make a fortune playing video games while others watch

    I am sure a combination of all three would be dangerous for my health....

    why any company / entity bothers engaging with Twitter. It's just a platform for generating hate and faux outrage over nothing and must be a such a waste of time money and effort to bother with

    Youtubers and "social influencers" (I also don't get how that's even a thing), and what dark spells they must use to get my children watching their inane drivel for hours on end.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I don't get why factorial zero equals 1

    0!=1


    I also don't get why it took over 300 pages in Principia Mathematica to conclusively prove that 1+1=2.

    I don't get the latest fashion craze in teenage men wearing tight jeans/tracksuits and having fluffy fringes.

    How technology has ruined nights out, everything you do recorded and pictures to remind you how dumb you are :D

    People posting 50 millions stories on their snapchat.

    That one isn't hard to understand. Irish person went to America back in the day. Overstayed their visa. Now has a family and business there and is paying taxes and contributing to society.

    Since 9/11 they can't travel home and expect to get back into the US. Half their family is there and half their family is in Ireland and they can't regularize their situation.

    ...

    But that is the whole problem [bolded bit]. One does not simply walk into Mordor. So I am not sure why I'm supposed to have sympathy.

    I don't get why people think they can take on the bookies (endless data, actuaries, algorithms, and computing power) and win over the long term. Maybe they are crushingly hopeless at maths.

    Fashion. I don't get why people care about their clothing being 'in'. Nor do I 'get' why people have to have the latest models of mobile phones.

    Fans. Indepth knowledge of and fascination with the famous person's background and personal live as well as their whole career. Now and then, it's interesting to be told a surprising fact about someone very famous from a fan, but I couldn't take that level of interest.

    Fake tan. I think women look better without it. (that'll go down well)

    I don't get people posting pictures of their kids on Facebook. I don't buy the excuse it is to share them with family, there is email for that. I don't get the constant over sharing of every mundane detail of their lives or airing their grievances with an ex,. I don't get the people who pander to their constant need for validation telling them they are great the whole time. Easier to say I don't get Facebook :)

    I had an account but deleted it, it was wrecking my head. I just don't get all the attention seeking at all, it turns some normally sane people into a$sholes. I do miss all the funny stuff though:(

    Wanting children. And the general attitude towards people who don't want children.

    Fashion, makeup.

    Irish drinking culture.

    A preference for cats over dogs.

    The way Irish people conduct conversations by talking loudly over everyone else talking loudly until the last person talking actually gets to be heard.

    People who don't trust science insofar at least as to not feed them bleach to cure autism etc.
