    People who say, write or type ‘pedal stool’ instead of pedestal.

    Female managers saying “revert back to me”, do they want people to turn into a clone of them or something?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,309 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    People who confidently, stridently dismiss something - a place, band, film, TV show; those kind of things - as "crap" despite having never been there/watched/listened to/read the subject in question. I find that trait infuriating and it marks the person as a bit of a clown in my eyes.

    Two faced gossips, who pretend to be friends.

    Put salt/pepper/condiments on food before tasting it............ get out!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,912 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Yes, it's absolutely only women who misuse the word "revert".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,252 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Flat earthers and people who think the moon landings were a hoax. Those two things will dock you marks. It’s not that I think other conspiracies theorists are sensible, it’s just these two in particular that are so **** stupid and easily provable.

    People who hate the UK office and think its not funny.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,901 ✭✭✭FishOnABike


    those type of malapropisms pacifically put a damp squid on a conversation 😉

    If you can't be bothered pronouncing the word "ask" properly, don't become a news reporter axing people questions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 288 ✭✭babyducklings1


    Narrow mindedness and me feiners. The thing is they shoot themselves in the foot because they are closed off from their own personal development/ growth etc.

    A Twitter interweb link and an essay is the new normal.

    Someone I work with included the she/her nonsense on her work email signature recently and she/her got well roasted for it.

    Good times.

    Also, anyone who says 'reach out', when they mean 'get in contact with' or simply 'ask' should be jailed.

    ^^^agree with the last point.

    'reach out' is official lingo for 'i don't want to help you, paddle your own canoe

    People who throw the pigeon among the cats.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 261 ✭✭Munstergirl854


    Snobbery and I mean the kind that has nothing to do with money.You could be on the dole and have an attitude and look down your nose at people.Also, pay close attention to how people treat you in a crowd vs alone.Some people could be grand when you're having a 1 on 1conversation but drop you like a hot snot in a crowd.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭TooTired123


    People with no/bad manners. Get away from me please.

    The last sentence applies to a dozen of my former classmates at that rugby school.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭Christine Neville


    Someone who insists in holding the door open for you when you're 30 yards away at the other end of the corridor. Not a deal breaker, but just annoying.

    anyone who says "I seen that on telly" or "I seen that yesterday"

    anyone who answers the question "Did you score last night?" with "no, I was playing full back"

    anyone who gambles on horses ( or anything else really ) - dumb ass

    anyone who repeats slogans from adverts in some campaign - "speed limit is a limit not a target", ah fook off

    Yes, but washing machines live longer with Calgon

    One that sets off my moron radar is people who are all over the place with their views who abandon/forget previously held opinions that they held with great confidence. E.g. someone drives a Ford Mondeo and it is the Best Car Eva and they won't shut up about it. Then they change it for a VW Passat and immediately that's the best car ever and Mondeos are rubbish.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86 ✭✭Christine Neville


    @RobAMerc anyone who says "I seen that on telly" or "I seen that yesterday"

    You do realise that's getting more and more common in Ireland... has to be. The same with them saying done instead of did. I never remember people saying it that when I was younger. In fact I know people who used to say it the right way many years ago, who changed over to the incorrect way! Soon the only people saying it correctly will be news readers and foreigners!

    Anyone who always chats about some fockup or another somewhere sometime in their everyday conversation all the time. I don't want YOUR services anytime soon. Had the grave misfortune to encounter a fella like this in 3rd level.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,496 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    People who praise "traveller culture "

    Sure sign of an idiot



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,215 ✭✭✭bottlebrush


    People who broadcast that their birthday is coming up so as to get cards and presents etc then go into hiding when your birthday comes along to re-emerge safely weeks later. Had this recently. Same person bitched about the calibre of presents she got from other people saying they were stingy. They weren't. Bragged about throwing a bouquet of flowers in the bin she was so disgusted it wasn't large enough.

    Exit stage left.

    People who actually believe that Homeopathy is science. I wont treat them any different but I wont seek their opinion on anything, and will tune out when they talk about homeopathy.

    That last one, jesus christ, I was in the middle seat on a Ryanair flight once, also in the middle of the plane so clearly I'm getting off last.

    Your one on the aisle hops up as soon as the plane stops, your one at the window starts getting agitated beside me, she clearly wants off the plane, two minutes later:

    Lady: "Can you go?"

    Me: "Do you want me to climb over all these people?"

    Lady: "Hmph" then silence.

    There was a bloody wall of people to both exits.
