    People who creep forwards at a red light till they're on top of the pedestrian crossing. That won't make the light turn green any faster, you clown.

    People who press the button at a pedestrian crossing, then walk across the road without waiting for the green man.

    I was in a taxi a few weeks ago and within about 2 mins of being in the car the guy had said "You don't get anything in this country if you're not black". Nothing he could say after that would change my low opinion of him. I'll add that I get plenty of taxis and I've never had any real issues.

    Creeping forward doesn't make the light change any faster. It's obvious because i think we all know that the real power over the lights lies in repeatedly jabbing the button at the pedestrian crossing...

    Climate change deniers. Particularly the ones who dismiss scientific research in favour of the propaganda funded by the petrochemical industry and despicable creatures such as the Koch brothers.

    They have this impression that they are smarter than everyone else when they are the most gullible group who swallow whole misinformation from “online sources”.

    Complete morons.

    Very true, and people who are vociferously religious too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,177 ✭✭✭Fandymo


    Bigot!!!!!! Men can have babies too!!!!!

    People who are strictly pro-science one minute, and can then completely disregard it and become strictly pro-feelings. Boards is like this, in Covid threads multiple people were warned/banned for even questioning the science, however in Trans threads science is malleable and almost a theory when faced with feelings.

    Anyone with a mullet, how do they not see how awful they look?

    Anyone who wears canada goose gear, northface. come on, have a mind of your own.

    Anyone who gives out when it’s a hot day in Ireland

    People on podcasts ,or TV shows who say I love you , yes are you really in love with someone you talked to for 5 minutes on a zoom call,? does your wife know about this, it complete bullsh1t , if you love everyone it' means nothing

    Its like big company's have pride logos on social media meanwhile they are giving big donations to Politicans who will pass anti trans laws or laws to ban abortion or limit women's rights

    I think everyone should be polite and drive carefully follow the rules of the road keep a good distance from the car in front of if you can read a sticker on a window of the car you are probably way too close

    People who wish their mother/father, wife/husband, son/daughter a Happy Birthday on Facebook. You possibly live with them , say it to them directly. Or people who post a personal photo on FB of themselves and family members and then ‘like’ it or ❤️ it. Morons.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,060 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    People who have unprotected sex with strangers, then complain about getting pregnant or getting the other person pregnant, not to mention the risk of sti's. absolute morons of the highest degree, there is no excuse. have some cop on and self control, you aren't a wild animal.

    business people whose mood towards you depends on how tough / well business is going, and the proximity of other friends of theirs who are more 'beautiful people'



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,258 ✭✭✭✭Wanderer78


    ....cause all humans behave rationally in the environment of potential sex!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,143 ✭✭✭Hyperbollix


    Contrarians. Not so much the well informed ones who obviously have put a lot of thought into their position, but the run of mill modern social media contrarian who is pro populism, anti left, anti "woke", anti vax, anti lockdown at all cost types.

    These people haven't a leg to stand on all almost all fronts and couldn't back up anything in a coherent way. They only hold the viewpoints they do because they don't like their right to do whatever the fúck they want curtailed. It's a selfish, childish way of looking at the world which denies they fact that we live in a society and need to work together for the common good. These are, of course, the same people that will come crying to the state to sort everything out for them when the shít hits the fan.

    I know, smart people behave rationally and stupid morons dont.

    I'm at the end of my tether with a soon to be ex-acquaintance who is a chronic hypochondriac. Got her bloods tested recently. Results came back normal. She doesn't believe there is nothing wrong with her, particularly since a black doctor in the gp practice gave her the results!

    And with that, I'm out.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 313 ✭✭NedsNotDead


    Sounds like they might be suffering from Somatic Anxiety. I'd cut them a little more slack as it can be a very debilitating condition

    'Pregnant people'. 🤢

    Anyone when in a group, keeps on bringing up the time (they alway do this!) in a work project when other project members contributed their expected product as normal, they only had to provide a tiny A4 document, and yaah they were done, no one minded and everything was cushdy.



  • Posts: 1,743 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    People that post stupid stories on LinkedIn about how great the new normal of working from home / remote is.

    All well and good putting up a shot of you on a conference call while on a beach or cooking lunch but then the employer clicks John or Mary is doing shagg all, can we outsource this job to the developing world?

    Airports are a serious hub of frustration alright - maybe because in an airport you have no option to just steer clear of, or bypass, people acting in very frustrating ways.

    Groups of people standing all over and blocking the travelators, crowds shoved right up against the baggage claim belt instead of standing a couple of feet back so everyone can see, people standing up in the aisle of the plane as soon as it comes to a standstill no matter how far back in the plane they're sitting etc. etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,121 ✭✭✭✭El_Duderino 09


    That last one gets me. Where possible, it makes so much more sense stand into a seat and let people pass. then when the queue gets back to you, you put your bags in the overhead lockers.

    I'm not surprised people don't do it because because I don't suppose they've thought about it. But I'm surprised airlines don't ask people to do it. Makes loads more sense and would speed things up.

    I wonder is Michael O'Leary still a climate change denier! He argued that man made CO2 emitted is negligible in comparison to the CO2 that comes out of the total annual leaf fall.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,244 ✭✭✭Brid Hegarty


    I remember chatting to a glamorous women in 2018 towards the end of the heat wave. I ended up saying "it's been great whether, but we've had a bit too much of it now... think of how hard on the farmers". She smiled and said "oh my God I just hope it continues". It might seem like a harmless enough thing of her to say but it just screamed 'selfish' to me.



  • Posts: 4,082 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    People who say things like

    "I fudged the issue"

    "I fast-talked him/her"

    "I let on"

    "Hold on....hold on..."



  • Subscribers Posts: 43,390 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    people who write "should of been"

    I think you might have taken her up wrong.

    Also people who during a spell of fine weather in Ireland complain about it being too hot.
