Apparently psychologically speaking it's a sign of insecurity. They're literally protecting they're most vulnerable bits. But they don't know that or that that's why they're doing It.

Couldn't agree more..

Watched one of our local "hardmen" walk past my house last week doing his level best to look as hard as possible with his hard man swagger..

I had a bit of a giggle as he doesn't realise it bless him but but it just screams insecurity to me..

Can anyone tell me where the fad for having your hands down the front of your tracksuit pants comes from? Not so fashionable right now, but it was a few years ago.... Baffles me.

I just stopped two little scumbags trying to rob a bike locked to a pole right beside my house.
That's my windows getting broken tonight.

Rough areas have hip pubs?

Anyway, and not in direct reference to the above post: This thread is ridiculous.

There was a Lidl at the triangle, just down from Super Valu. Maybe it's gone now?

Ranelagh has a Lidl. Rathmines has both of them, as does Terenure. It's only Rathgar and Clonskeagh putting up the good fight to keep the riff raff out.

I would love a sit down chipper! Never gonna happen in a real rough area though - too much hassle. The only sit down chipper I know is in Ballsbridge.

Always been a sit down chipper or two in ballymun

Too long to read all, so apologies if these are already mentioned, but mine would be:

- Trackie blokes with any dog from dangerous dogs list
- Young lads doing wheelies on the path
- Overuse of Xmas lights on terraced house
- Decorative tat on houses (example)
- Shopping complex pub, with bars over windows
- General rubble on roadway
- "Pushers out" graffiti
- Black flags (more of an '80s thing really)
- Pigeon club

Horses with heads out the living room windows.

Ugly people walking ugly rottweiler type dogs and not carrying plastic bags to pick up poo.

Children as young as six out on bikes in the dark with no lights, no helmets and in gangs.

No flowers in the gardens, no sign that anyone does any upkeep at all.

Horrid lurid light up santys and over the top lights in the untidy gardens, who is paying the electricity bill in January, probably the Vincent de Paul.

Meanwhile, i'm quite fond of a lot of these things (no harm in a choice of chippers within walking distance, is there?), but seriously, what's the craic with the hands down the jocks? Good Lord, when I was a lad, hands in the pockets was a givaway of the ne'er do well whelp.

Halloween bonfires burning in March

90% house/apartment occupancy levels at 1pm (other 10% at work)

Large queues out the door of the post office on dole day.

Joking aside, plenty of good, hard working and friendly people in rough areas. And if you ask nicely, you'll get a jant on a horse

That was indeed the case here too, but it wasn't long before their car-parks started to fill up with Mercs, Jags and BMWs.

I'll take a Aldi or Lidl in my area ahead of a Dunnes or Tesco any day.

They are in every housing estate are they not?

More as a measure of slowing down traffic to a minimum where a child could potentially run out in front of a car?

Lads who walk like pigeons while keeping their hands down the front of their tracksuit bottoms.

A residential street is coroned off halfway by black and yellow bollards due to joyriding.

Massive stone blocks dotted around the perimeter of the local green to prevent same.

Funny enough, some of the stone blocks look nice
