Who is someone you inexplicably can't stand?

[Deleted User]

Is there anyone out there that you just don't like and you just can't explain it? Someone who you just can't stand but they've never really done anything to make you feel that way.

For example, I have an irrational dislike of Emma Watson. I've never really seen any of her films or interviews but if I look something up and she's in it, I'm subconsciously voting against it. When she showed up in This Is The End I sighed and I'm not quite sure why. Can't explain it. Feel similarly towards Anne Hathaway.

Who's yours?

Yeah, he came on to the Irish government. He wanted all sorts of “special treatment” for his expo. The one where he couldn’t get the wifi working.

When these demands weren’t met he moved it to Lisbon. They get the “big names” to attend so the crowds turn up but they seem to be always disappointed with the overall “show”.

You’d have to wonder if his deranged “carry on” will affect his ability to get the names in future, I guess money talks but you never know.

He' s like a lot of those ''tech enterprises''. They think they've a right to have everyrhing to be handed them and tend to be grade A arseholes on top of that.

I always find the Paddy Cosgrove guy kind of weird I always feel he came into somebody and they rejected him and he sort of flipped!

That makes sense. He's only in his 30s, by the looks of him; he surely has a boards profile. Every Irish nerd in his 30s has been registered on boards.

He seems to carry around an enormous amount of anger with him. It's really not healthy. Ireland isn't a perfect place by any means, but he is whipping up his online troupe of dimwits and ne'er-do-wells into a frenzy by making them believe they live in the European equivalent of Liberia.

The man reads boards too, by the looks of Twitter. Not happy about a thread in the “Current Affairs” being locked due to a story he’s promoting being old news.

I wonder what kind of workplace he has.

There are some great reviews by former/employees of WebSummit on Glassdoor, but an awful lot of others with a common thread about an oppressive management style, or toxic work environment. That's not surprising. 50/50 approval rating for Cosgrave himself, from those who have (admittedly, self-reportedly) worked for him. Seems to be a bit polarising, even among his own employees.

Do you know what the cross and bones symbol on the top of his tweet means?

Has become very popular amongst the losers, malcontents, conspiracy theories, shinnerbots, and nationalists on Irish Twitter.

Most of Cosgraves followers would have it in their profile name. It's useful, as it means you can automatically ignore what that person has to say.

Ah it wasnt that bad. Was different to the usual no frontiers style of holiday programme, the lads seemed genuinely friendly and got up to fun and interesting things.
I remember meeting Baz and the other non-camp guy in the Sporting Emporium years ago playing poker, they were sound lads. Never thought Baz would still be knocking around...

NK still has his influence.

RTE have produced some jaw droppingly bad stuff, but that travel show was just shocking. First time I saw him too. Him and another dude described as a ladies man and a super camp gay guy fluting around Bratislava etc.

Ray D Arsey. His radio show is introduced by a child. Enough said.

And knowing the nepotism in RTE it's probably one of his own and they'll get a job on the strength of it in years to come.
