People who use the Irish language version of their name.
For example, people who were born, christened and registered as Paul Murphy, for example, who start going by Pól Ó'Murachú.
Sounded like they were both tossers. There's a roundabout in Limerick, the Parkway one. Great big yellow boxes for people to know you're not supposed to stop there because you block one entrance. Constantly blocked. Mainly by people coming from "around" the roundabout who like to exit directly straight from the inside lane, cutting across the outline lane and blocking both and cutting off the person exiting properly (who is also blocking it because if they don't these outside lane tossers cut across them). Because it's their right. I understand the frustration at that point because you could be 15 minutes waiting for someone to not block it.
Horrible roundabout. Horrible drivers. Never a good combination.
I think a lot of the time it is just bad drivers who end up blocking roundabouts though, there isn't usually any bad intent its just they don't really know the rules of the road or have forgotten some lol I know that sounds crazy but I think its true. I would have loved to have seen the the driver the big hard man in the van was berating. I bet it was a woman, he wouldn't do it to some guy who could kick the $hit out of him.
^Bonus points for tosser-ness if the driver had L-/N-plates.
Yeah this is an important point. If you are going to beep somebody be fully prepared to say your grievance face to face if or when they get out to confront you. The little hard men make me laugh because they are such cowards at the back of it.
You seem to have a bit of ‘form’ in that area, if you forgive me for pointing out.
Anxious for the ‘bit of a rumble’ are we?
Uhmm…..good lad, good lad.
Eh? Who are you when you are at home?
Just a lad who notices things, not a hard lad or anything.
Good day to you.
You are so mysterious and cryptic! That makes you cool. Yeah good luck.
People who say "Pass me out"
As a guitarist, I fully agree.
Saw a dude sloshing down the road wearing a pair of uggs once. Bottoms of them were all deformed and stained from the sh1tty Irish weather.
While I'm on the topic of shoes, when you see a family and they're all wearing crocs
Jesus lad... how do you put down time here at all? This is nothing, this is Ireland at off peak. Your nerves must be jangled. The place is lawless and a bit of male preening and outdoor socialising is upsetting you?
An adult buying a bottle of PRIME for themselves.
Addition to my list:
People who quote my previous reply 3 months later! :)
I'm honoured, I've made it! I'm on the list of apparently disaffecting non entities as hated by some weird randomer. Yes indeed!!
People who drive out to remote places and dump their rubbish. Complete tossers.
Happens a fair bit in a Coillte forestry near me, the even more tossery thing is that about half the time they leave a bill or other piece of identification in the bags, leading the council right to their door.
Though how many actually get prosecuted is another thing.
Well that's just rude. I was trying to be humorous in my reply but I've clearly touched a nerve with you. Was it the "smoking outside pubs blocking the doorway"? Are you one of those tossers? Or are you a vain man who likes gazing at himself in the mirror? :)
Yea and it's fine for cyclists to be out in the middle of the road when theres a massive cycle lane to the left of them. Biggest muppets Iv seen so far in modern society.
Tossers indeed
Iv a 2 seater van that transports goods. Suppose I should be using a cargo bike. And that person is still wrong tarmacing a lane the width of a truck for a bike and still not using it. What a waste.
Last year I invited a work colleague over to my apartment for a gathering. Her husband brought his guitar and when everyone was sitting around chatting, at 7pm in the evening, he whipped out the guitar and started playing. kept going for about 10 minutes when some people started talking over him playing. :)
Mod note
Every thread doesn't need to be a opportunity to express road rage. Move on please
Irish people who use the word "Dude"
Probably should have wrote it in inverted commas, I ment it as in this guy looks like the type to say "dude"
Even worse, I saw some ejit yesterday walking in the road when there was a footpath right beside him. 🤔 people are so self entitled these days or maybe they are just looking to piss people off.
People who incisively and incessantly ask probing questions of you or anyone regarding your / their life, relationships, personal stuff…situations etc… but when any similar line of questioning about anything personal that relates to them, they are mute or at best deflecting and evasive …. That’s fine, you don’t want to divulge, it really is but don’t be hyper probing, enquiring and asking about other people…. When you never repay the same simple courtesy… you are basically just a nosey tosser.
"Middle of the road"....think that should be "middle of the lane".
Multitude of reasons why a cyclist might not use the cycle lane.
Cyclist = muppet ........wow
Get yourself a bike, go for a cycle and you'll see what cohort of roads users are the biggest muppets.
Neither. Smoking is expensive and dangerous. Where people smoke is of no concern or interest to me. I'm not especially vain. My outlook is live and let live. Branding people 'tossers' is uncouth, uncivilized and redolent of how we as a country are aping Brits at every turn by using passive aggression as a tool in which to survive.
Perfectly fine.
