Things that you don't give a $hit about.

Actually going to festivals is another one. I dont care how amazing electric shindig or the music at all tomorrow now was unreal, you still spent 300+ quid for a couple of days standing in a field and sleeping in a tent

That would be my idea of hell, I don't get the appeal.
Moreso if it rains and the place turns into a WW1 battlefield. You couldn't pay me to go.

I don't care about companies coming here and dodging tax... So what if some big US multi national pays 45c per year... not my problem. If we didn't offer them generous "tax arrangements" then they prob wouldn't be here in the first place anyway. Really it doesn't effect you or me!

Raconteuse

The British royal family. Although I know loads of people don't give a sh1t about them, especially here on Boards, but the obsession with them that does exist is baffling. They seem like fairly nice people mostly - relatively unassuming, and probably also find the hysteria over them baffling (particularly the older generation) and they're the state's figureheads etc, but the forelock tugging adoration - cringe. Particularly from non British folk.

I guess I do give a sh1t about the worshipping of them. :pac:

Music festivals are actually great if you've somewhere comfortable to stay (was lucky enough to stay at a house for a few Electric Picnics) but camping - misery.

Spiders. Harmless lil dudes in this country.

(Yeah I would freak if one with a body the size of a conker appeared but I haven't seen one of those in this country since I was eight).

Greeting cards.

And any bullsh1t day/event/occasion/invented shyte that harangues me into having to f**king buy a greeting card.  Birthdays, anniversaries, kid/work/health/exam/relationship/whatever-related crap, and the big "V day". If you ever want to see human suffering first hand then just watch the miserable men rollings eyes at each other while moping around the Valentine's day card rack trying to find some ridiculously overpriced POS that will pass muster.

The rugby world cup.

I wonder how many of the goys will be completely out of the loop because the time zone difference will mean that a large chunk of the games will be on before a pub opens.

Remember that if you ever complain that the government doesn't have enough money in the pot for certain public services.

Read the Universe in your hand by Christophe Galfard, it proves your statement wrong and no doubt will give you a deep interest in space.
It's so interesting it will melt your brain.

Free advertising for the lottery. I don't indulge and couldn't care less who wins. Don't know why it is even national "news".

Private landlords are scum.

"For Nothing"
So foregoing spending on holidays, new cars, luxuries, etc. to scrape enough money together to buy an investment property to give a little more security for your future is "nothing" to you? You sound incredibly entitled.

Instagram models and social media influencers - I have friends who talk about the lives of instagram models they follow like they know them personally. Theres cafes and restaurants that are now offering free meals to people who have over a 1000 followers. What is happening.

This might be the worst. I feel sorry for these influencers when this whole instagram trend dies and they're out on there arse with no income. Where are they going to be when they're 50? But then again these people cant see past the next weekend let alone in 10 years time

I dunno. They pointed a telescope at a blank part of the sky to see if there was anything of interest there, here's the pic:

I have seen the lotto wins being reported on international news before so I doubt it's an Irish thing.
I do feel sorry for the staff tough having to act all excited about the shop selling the winning ticker for the media.

the weather. ie folk acting as if rain was a life threatening disaster. it is just..... rain. nothing to curse about or freak out about.

The shops usually get a few quid as well when there's a big win
