    If I find out they're an enthusiastic Sinn Fein supporter, I tend to assume the worst 😬

    People who say "guesstimate". A guess is a guess, an educated guess is an estimate - a guesstimate is nothing. I will literally stab anybody who uses guesstimate in my presence.

    Also people who don't know the difference between literally and figuratively

    Your thread title isn't great. So, yes.



  • Posts: 3,733 [Deleted User]


    Not quite. There are things that will cause me to raise an eyebrow, roll my eyes, or just wonder about the person.

    None of those things really matter to me when it comes to having a connection with someone though. My past experiences have taught me and continue to teach me that people are surprising and amazing.

    My deal breakers lie within your character, mainly how you treat other people. I can understand almost any behaviour...have compassion for your experiences...that doesn't mean I want you to be part of my life.

    Can I just say that I have saved the quote you use for your sig. I love it. It's hopeful and beautiful.

    Hah, empty vessels for sure.

    It is a lovely quote though.

    Or at least it is for me.

    Anyone who calls social housing "free houses"

    Or gives out about "single mothers popping out babies for the benefits".

    Both qualify as moron points of reference to me.

    As soon as someone uses the word 'woke' as an insult I know I am dealing with an easily lead fool.

    Most self proclaimed free speech absolutists are giant big whiny snowflakes!

    He did have a brain. It was compressed and displaced "slowly" by the accumulating fluid

    IF someone has a northern Irish accent i just can't listen to it for long it's horrible, also people who are clearly in love with themselves



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,431 ✭✭✭TheIrishGrover


    OK OK. OK. Left, Right, Binary, Non-Binary, Male, Female, Other, In, Out, Up, Down... I think there is a line that we can ALL agree on. Without prejudice . I think we call ALL agree that it is perfectly acceptable to point at, laugh at, ridicule and be prejudiced against.....


    Flat Earthers

    Sorry, but you got that the other way around.

    People who are 'woke' are nothing more that vacuous skin jobs filled with an ideology exclusively poured into them by a small segment of socially engineering uber ideologues. I have yet to meet a single 'woke' person who has any opinion inside them which actually originated from within their own cognition. Not one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    The main reason I really use the word woke is to describe something being changed from a sleep state.

    But well played on identifying yourself to me. 🤣

    People who use phrases like ‘ sleep state ‘ yet criticise others for mentioning one of the greatest cancers on society, woke and wokeness :p



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,367 ✭✭✭JimmyVik


    So I am an Athiest and am a cyclist. Though I am not a Vegan.

    If I hear a Vegan talking about being a Vegan, An Athiest moaning about non Athiests or a Cyclist moaning about motorists they are immediatly chalked up as gobsh!tes. Nobody actually cares that you are a Vegan, a cyclist or an Athiest but you and your little sounding off circle. Lete everyone else be who they want to be without having to bend to what you want them to be.

    I think you will find guesstimate is in the dictionary “an estimate based on a mixture of guesswork and calculation.”



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,548 ✭✭✭Quitelife


    Any of the Woke crowd ( social democrats crew in particular and a share of the new Sinn Fein crowd) who seem to be only looking for something to be outraged by ...if they start on about Binary genders etc FFS



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,171 ✭✭✭RobbieTheRobber


    Isn't this a circular logic fallacy?

    You are outraged by people being outraged.

    Anyone who says "So what you're saying is" and then says something that you haven't come anywhere near saying. Plenty of those morons on boards.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,852 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    People who watch and want to talk about Reality TV like Love Island or any of that shyte.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,116 ✭✭✭DoctorEdgeWild


    If you have to peel away what's on the surface in order to get to the good stuff, then maybe overall it's not so good?


    There's definitely good messages in every religion I've encountered, but there's always bad too. Why do they choose to have the bad in there? There's no need.


    I'd echo the above posters about conspiracy theorists. There's a hilarious Covid thread on here that was so busy, until the restrictions ended, then they all disappeared overnight. People who won't listen to reason are certainly to be avoided.

    Anyone who publishes, distributes, and who writes for "The Irish Light"paper. Any loyal readership this publication may have.



  • Posts: 8,532 [Deleted User]


    People who organize everything into different sections of their trolleys while doing the shopping, only to have to take it all out at the check out anyway. WTF is up with that.

    Also people who pack their shopping bags at the tills rather than using the bag packing area.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,882 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    Between you and the OP who takes the same attitude to Mrs Brown's Boys, that is millions of people you are writing off as morons.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,079 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    I do this. Well, I make sure to organise them into categories on the till belt. Then you can fire them into the bags (already set up) in the trolly and they're all ready to be put away when you get home. So the veg together, fridge stuff together, cupboard stuff, bathroom stuff etc. No mucking about shopping.

    People who complain endless and have nothing good to say about their parthner....

    noone is forcing em to stay,complaining to me wont fix it






    Also deeply deeply weary of the irish rugby supporting set,and would be a fairly massive red flag friendship wise for me



  • Posts: 4,083 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    A serious deal breaker point of reference for me is when somebody without prompting starts talking about a time they screwed over somebody else, anybody else be it in a friend or service. Seen this in a few nutters down through the years.

    Anyone who claps like a performing seal when a plane lands should be fed into the still-running plane engines, the empty-headed dopes.
