    People who cant understand why you don't love dogs/cats

    Some people are just like how can you not love dogs - "whats wrong with you"

    If you're not into pets fair enough, but what I can't understand is people who have an unbridled hatred for them.

    The "It's PC gone mad!" brigade.

    When I hear the phrase, it's either because a) the person is hugely exaggerating something ("We're not allowed say Happy Christmas now! It's PC gone mad!"); or b) it's a case of "I'm not allowed be deliberately offensive anymore without being called on it!" Like, what exactly is it that you wanted to say or do and that you can't now?

    Similarly, people that describe others as "snowflakes" are usually the ones with the thinnest skin themselves. It's like their subconscious knows.

    Also, anyone that uses the eyeroll emoji extensively. Was guilty of it in the past myself, but then I realised it was only when I had no actual point I could make with words.

    All Liars.

    the workplace careerist who will attempt to **** over and expose anyone who makes an error as a way to ‘get in’ with managers while being lazy and **** at their job themselves.

    People who lack empathy and are willing to judge people on their failings and or difficulties without empathy and understanding or having walked as much as an inch in their shoes.

    Coming halfway across the universe to visit earth then crashing into a rocky desert and burning up in a pathetic fireball.

    These are the same people who will cry "body shaming" if you point out that being extremely overweight is not healthy. They're absolutely delusional.

    I'd never heard of HAES before, had to google it.
    Fúcking delusional springs to mind!

    Yes a fat person can be healthier in general than a thin person - that's not even in question....but if you are fat and generally healthy, you would be better off being a bit thinner - this is not the artic, there is no advantage to piling on a layer of blubber!

    Cholesterol and blood pressure can be healthy levels in fat people but they are still unhealthy because the extra weight is putting strain on all their joints and bones. That is a biological fact they like to ignore but it's true. There is no such thing as Health At Every Size.

    People who are dicks to service staff..

    I do agree but I often hear that one said like it's a given. As though you immediately become a saint because you work with the public. Some service staff do not know how to deal with people and can also be dicks to the customer.

    I had some fella acting like an asshole towards me before when I wanted to return something. He was rude, arrogant, unhelpful af but if someone was walking by, they might have thought I was the one being a douche.

    Anyway I asked to speak to the manager and it turned out when the manager arrived, I knew him from school :pac: he sorted it out for me no problem :)

    Ages ago, I posted about the slob. Well the same craic happened today and I just confronted him in a light manner.

    Made him stand and look around and tell me what he saw in front of him. It was like an optical illusion for him. He could not see his rubbish till I pointed at them. He said sorry and threw it away.

    It was odd. Six things on a desk, two of which were his old food and drinks. I dunno.

    People who make excuses for the bad behavior of their idols, example ronnie o sullivan having a go at a referee during a match about moving the balls to their correct place, he was being overly awkward and argumentative with the referee, where as the other player tried to help the ref. then you look at the youtube comments . you have all his fans saying he was right and the ref was crap etc

    ok maybe the ref didnt come out of it looking well but o sullivan didnt have to be such a dick.

    same with mcgregor, if mcgregor shot up an orphanage, you would still get his fans making excuses for him, like they have after all his disgusting behavior the last few years.

    I cant understand how some people cant just admit their idols behave like a$$holes at times.

    I have to add ryan giggs to this list, lowest of the low that guy, its a disgrace that he is managing his country.

    Same goes for people who make excuses for the bad behaviour of their kids. Little Johnny is kicking the seat in front of him, ah sure he's only being a kid :rolleyes:

    People who are smart enough to know better, but are still unbelievably selfish when they think they will get away with it.

    People with no self awareness.

    The whole mentality around being a politician. In general it places self serving people to positions that are about serving others.
