    People who don't put manners on their kids/pets.

    This one must have been mentioned before but anyone who does not pick up their dog's sh*t. No one else wants it, put it in a f*ckin bag and bring it home.

    The ones who really mystify me are the ones who bring the bag with them, pick up the poop, tie it up neatly....and then fcuk it into a tree.

    Just don't bother like!

    I’ll add cat owners to that.

    Can't say I've had much experience with cat sh*t, having dogs generally keeps them away. The smell of cat sh*t is something you never forget though.

    You did remind me of another one, people who don't put bells on their cats! Your cat gets fed at home, it does not need to kill birds.

    There is an argument that the bell just makes cats more stealthy with practice and hence more deadly.

    Interesting, hadn't thought of that. Still, I reckon if you gave birds the choice a bell would be better than no bell.

    A bell also makes cats susceptible to other predators themselves.

    People who drive cars/motorbikes with loud exhausts. You are a cretin and an attention seeker, and I automatically assume whoever is driving such a vehicle is mentally impaired and/or sexually frustrated (possibly a virgin).

    Men who just agree with women in a desperate attempt to get laid and hide their true opinions and feelings..

    But most men I know do that even after 20+ years of marriage.

    people who say "i didn't vote but if i did i would have voted for ....." then give you their reason why.

    if you are too lazy to vote then don't be preaching to me about the way you would have voted.

    Bono haters. As a U2 fan of 40 years I find the more vocal the hater, the more I need to avoid them. I am aware that a significant amount of the population, including probably most posters on this thread, fall into this category to some degree.

    Maybe they just haven't gotten around to getting their exhaust fixed. My car was very loud for around a month once. You kinda get used to it!

    But, yeah, deliberately loud exhaust is very knobby.

    People who like to pretend they didn’t grow up in Ireland and were born ‘woke’.

    Even Christy Brown would find a way to give them the middle finger.

    I've met people who don't like music at all. I don't have room for people like that in my life. Never will.

    Footpath cyclists.

    Would you rather a child cycling on the road along side motorits over them cycling on footpaths.

    As someone who does a lot of cycling and has experienced a variety of close calls, I certainly don't want children cycling on roads.

    It would probably be worse for everyone concerned if you had intended them as a compliment.

    Where did they mention children? Children are allowed by law to cycle on footpaths. Adults aren't. The number of cyclists who don't seem to know that, and cycle on footpaths in city centres, is incredible.

    And no, it's *not* a safety thing - literally every day I see these muppets cycle on the footpath, come to a one-way street, and they go onto the road *against traffic* and continue on their way...

    They but they didn't......."footpath cyclists" refers to all cyclists regardless of age.

    For my safety I cycle on the footpath going to Mobhi Road in Glasnevin.

    Referring to cyclists as "muppets" is exactly what is wrong with this country and its attitude towards cyclists.

    Everyday I encounter motorists on their mobile phones, using bus lanes, speeding, failing to observe and not indicating.

    There are terrible cyclists and equally terrible drivers
