    There is nothing more annoying than the Irish fans ole ole ole crap.
    Think of something Irish to sign & stop singing Spanish words!

    I was at a Tom Petty concert couple of years ago, some fecking eejit started singing ole etc.
    He actually stopped the concert until they stopped singing, then he said, ' ok, the singing has stopped, concert can go on'

    How fecking embarrassing

    Going to a Tom Petty gig is embarrassing enough, you must have had an overload that night.

    I find the opposite.
    As I get older I have become a beacon of acceptance, a role model for the worlds youngsters in fact. I am so full of worldly wisdom that it hurts (could be arthritis either, I'm not sure)
    That being said, I would gladly nuke france this morning just for the craic:mad:

    ...are you like me and getting old but not gracefully?

    I'm at the younger reaches of the 40s and I've realised that I hate everything. From tattoos to Conor McGregor to beards to Irish fans ole-ing to politics to music these days. Hate it. Want to go back to the days of Panini stickers and trying to get to base 2.

    Yep, same. Turned 44 recently and I hate all of the above. Particularly hate the whole soccer "we're going to win the Euro's" ****e, mcgreggor and all boxers/mma plebes are just jumped up twats, when did acting like a wild animal make anyone special ??

    Agreed. Life is way too short to be chewing yourself up hating things. I love life, its great....somethings annoy me but hardly any piss me off enough to hate.

    When I was in my early 40s, I suddenly lost my full ability to cope with stuff. It was so bad that I went to see a therapist (of course, I'm American, so the impetus was more "I'm not living at my full potential" and less "holy f!ck, I think I'm losing my mind"). The wise older woman showed me I'd been coasting along without learning a lot of the coping skills that most people learn when they are younger, and she taught them to me. I still get occasional periods that could be characterised as "anxiety" or "depression", but I can deal with them now that I know what they are, and not be overcome by them and let them ruin the way I want life to look. You could have shouted "just get over it, life is too short" at me morning, noon, and night, and I would have had no idea what you meant or what to do.

    I'm around the same age, and the best thing about getting older is not giving a fúck about anyone or anything (apart from my loved ones of course).

    Small things don't matter a damn to me anymore, although I find myself shouting at the telly now and then!

    Same here , the people who give a **** are over there and I am happily over here, well most of the time and usually when there is feck all I can do about the issue anyway. Why get upset ?

    Will be 48 this year , don't hate everything , instead I enjoy the simple things and don't sweat the small stuff :) Life's too short so enjoy it while we can , and we can still (pretend) to be fountains of wisdom and advice :D

    Shouting at the tv also helps though :D

    I'm 18 and life is great but I'm already starting to feel like this. For the past year I've felt very disgruntled whenever I've seen fellow pups acting the ape, or any time I've heard Conor McGregor speak, or when anyone posts complete tripe about how great he is.

    I'm hoping my cynicism and hatred for trivial things has just peaked early and that I'll gradually become more accepting :D

    I also hate whingy posts like this and I also hate irony.
    I also hate when people try to be ironic.

    I need a hobby.

    There is such a thing as a "quarter-life crisis". I think we don't give our young ones enough support while they're starting out, and it's a shame because a little extra care could make them so much more confident and stable in later life, and would give a boost to the babies too.

    Those coping mechanisms are a great thing to pass on to the kids.

    That's if you have kids?

    Sorry, didn't mean to presume you have kids just because you're a 48 year old woman.

    I like lots of things, many of them are just different things from the things I used to like.

    I'm 32 and I hate everyone and everything except my parents, my dog, walks in the snow and wine. I've felt altogether jaded with mankind for as long as I can remember though this has accelerated hugely since I left the bubble of education and had to survive "in the real world". I hate to think what I will be like when I am old, then again I probably will never find out - all this toxic negativity has got to be bad for one's health.

    Lave him alone, he's watching Game of Throws!

    I'm 31 and I despise everyone. The slightest thing annoys the hell out of me, for no reason. From incompetent shop staff, to scrotes with their trousers half falling down and the ends tucked into their socks.

    I have become so anti-social I hate leaving my own house, because apparently murder is illegal and its wrong to kick the snot out of those scrotes and leave them in a puddle of their own vomit and urine.
