    In a class of 30 x 5 year olds, it'll be 15 Jacks and 15 Noahs.

    Cyclists 'walking'/running their dog alongside their bike, with lead.

    Get off and walk yourself, you lazy git, accident waiting to happen.

    Sometimes the dogs look like they are going to collapse.

    The majority of cyclists whom you encounter on roads now are tossers…

    Hypocritically the most vocal cohort regarding road safety, and what everyone else should be doing to safeguard them but… the majority when asked to play their part…

    1) no hi vis

    2) no / ineffective lighting

    3) no regard for or adherence to traffic signals or the rest of the road traffic act for that matter.

    you see the ‘no hands’ brigade daily, it’s not an odd occurrence.

    gets to the stage you hear of a cyclist injured or involved in an RTA and it’s 🤷‍♂️. That particular cohort don’t help themselves.

    when the tosser cohort of cyclists start giving a fûck about their fellow road users, maybe then people will have more sympathy and respect for them.

    As a pedestrian, a cyclist, a car driver, and a former motorcyclist, I can say that whatever I observe is a tiny tiny tiny percentage of what the whole population is doing. Even if one person sees the majority of cyclist with "no hands", that is not research which can prove anything. Any one of us could probably write a book about the stuff we see on the roads and footpaths.

    I’m sorry now but I don’t agree.

    Regarding road signals I f I was to annotate the amount of ignoring of those units by cyclists in my realm and

    extrapolated that to the whole country I’m quite sure it would reach 95%.

    Very little respect for them at all.

    Guitar *****rs. Say no more. Glen Hansard wannabe tosser



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 832 ✭✭✭Nevin Parsnipp


    The lad Bendar was just giving an exaggerated example of tosser like behaviour...I have no doubt the lad seen something similiar to what was described in his post ...as indeed I have ....and have no hesitation judging the parent as a nailed on "Tosser".

    As we are on Supermarket etiquette the parent who shepherds little Noah into the self check out area (which is for small purchases) with a trolley full of goods and let's the little lad pick out every item from the trolley and hold up everybody...is in my mind a Tosser.

    Should said parent be male and be wearin stovepipe shorts and a Leinster top instructing the child in a loud voice ...then my friends you have "Tosser Royalty"

    Should you be stuck behind this member of Tosser Royalty....and then observe them in the car park stuffing the goods into a badly parked 222 Range Rover....then you have struck "Tosser Gold"... the Everest of "Tosserdom"...hai yoursell back to the shop and get yoursell a LOTTO ticket...for such occurrences need to be marked with some celebration !

    Wow, wow, wow! What did you say about a leinster top? You'd want to back up the bus there



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,038 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    People who don't salute you when you flash them to warn them of a speed camera van up ahead.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Ragwort and Stones


    Someone I came across who boasted of being to strip clubs and live sex shows in over a dozen countries.

    That to me is a tosser and really sleazy.

    White honkeys, especially ourselves and Nordics, Indians and a few others have dreadlocks going back Millennia, about a century for Rastafari and black people and purely based on exposure to Indian holy men.

    People who don't salute you when you flash them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Ragwort and Stones


    Back when I was fit and flashing frequently I often didn't get the fantastic reaction my first class flashing deserved.

    The loud bloke who 'knows the lads' who work behind the counter at the builders providers and strides straight past the rest of the queue to get served.

    "Hey Mike, did that insulation arrive in for me yet"?

    "Yeah Jimmy, it came in this morning, hang on there a minute, I'll get you the docket".

    And for that matter, the lads who work behind the counter in the hardware, who think we don't notice, or even mind, when they serve their poxy mate before the rest of us.

    Drivers who drive down the hard shoulder in a queue and try to force their way into the queue after skipping 90% of it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,364 ✭✭✭Be right back


    Driving along a main dual carriageway at night just under the speed limit in the driving lane with someone practically on my rear for a while. In my own head, why don't they just pass me out? Which they do eventually but flash their lights at me first. D**k.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,524 ✭✭✭✭John_Rambo


    Lol... ok, thanks for the confirmation he may have been spoofing.

    This sort of stuff just doesn't happen to me, or maybe I just don't notice it. I mean the level of detailed observation, kids name, the car brand, the car reg year, style of shorts, rugby jersey etc. Fairly impressive.

    Its called observation John and use of the social sciences such as sociology.

    Just plain common sense like observing what is going on in your realm and listening to the discourse.

    I can tell you young Tarquin was wearing a ‘North Face’ jacket over Liverpool football gear.

    Daddy stovepipe was wearing a Leeds top and CK navy blue stovies and ASICS runners.

    So it’s not spoofing by a long shot….had a steel coloured Audi A3 parked in the family spot.

    Its about keeping your eyes and ears open John.

    People who use their phones throughout a concert. Whether talking/texting or filming, tosser!



  • Posts: 1,125 [Deleted User]


    I agree, grown men with far from athletic physique wearing Leinster gear = absolute tossers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,903 ✭✭✭✭dxhound2005


    I now know who the weirdos I see in shopping centres are. Sociologists.

    My ears are burning. No Tarquins in my house though.

    No I mean tossers. The Leinster rugby gear gives it away!

    Amazing imagination & observations skills noting what brands children wear in shops, their names, what sports clubs their fathers follow, what runners they were, what style shorts they have and to follow them outside & observe what car they drive.... and what colour it is along with where they park and how they keep their ears open to listen to them.

    I never knew there were men like you taking so much attention to what kids and families do, wear & talk about in shops.

    What shops to you shop in?

    Not at all John, not at all..

    Its really quite simple, all one has to do is look and listen.

    The tossers will out themselves.

    Try it, and next time you spot say a group of dry robes standing on the seashore in freezing weather drinking coffee you can validly say to yersel…”Now John, there’s a right crowd of tossers”

    And you’ll be fahking right!!
