Things you just don't get...

I understand:

Irish people who support Premiership/english soccer teams, more luck to them

But i dont get:

Same fans who berate the same players when they play for england. Can I add in why some also chant in an English/regional accent when supporting same club teams above.

Men in flip flops and Jesus sandals !! No one wants to see your pasty white hairy feet with yellow toenails !

Going to a restaurant ordering something which generally means condiments are used. Like fries, why do I have to ask for ketchup and mayo, just assume I want it, like nearly 95% of people eating fries they want ketchup at least.

The term "Your truth". There is only the truth and that's the whole point of the word. It's a dichotomy, true or false. Your truth means your subjective opinion i.e. what you believe. And here is an absolutely fine term that has been used forever "In my opinion". Ta-da, now you're speaking proper English.

Pot pourri. A small basket of dried forest litter that smells like your dead grandmother.

Criminals who hate the police. Ah it is their job to stop crime and arrest Criminals, why the hatred towards them?

It's not their fault you are so bad at committing crime that you keep getting caught.

Video editing like this. Is it just the way the youth of today like their videos? Even my 6 year old finds it annoying.

(Talks about something then does lots of edits with sound effects, other video clips, zooms etc)

GTA V hackers that switch on God Mode, or as I call it 'Lame cvnt' mode, and destroy other peoples experience on there. Must be people with no social skills and no friends.

People who are seriously well off… but who don’t retire, just keep on working…makes absolutely zero sense…

I read an article a while back about Judge Judy… supposedly worth north of 360 million dollars, others say north of 400 million dollars…but came up at 80 years old with a new show on Amazon and syndicated elsewhere…

you might like your work, but why in tarnation at 80 years of age, with hundreds of millions of dollars, would you bother…?

you have money that neither you nor extended family will spend, in a lifetime… in a half dozen lifetimes…. So why the fûck bother….?

I know the counter argument… “ she loves her work “…. Nobody loves work, or nobody should love working more then enjoying life…

if I’m 80 I’m not working, not getting out of bed before midday… if I’m 80 and a multi millionaire I’m using the time I’ve left in good health… to travel, to see friends / family, to invest in decent researched philanthropic causes… whatever… get new hobbies, volunteer at X charities… but not for a second will I be working….

There's a fella from my old department finally retiring this Wednesday despite the fact he's utterly minted and could have easily walked two years ago. It's really sad when there's nothing else going on in someone's life other than their work. It's a total waste of life.

Why people are obsessed with crossover vehicles and white vehicles.

mens clothing adverts (usually sportswear) where they try to look as pssed off and double hard as possible. thats not encouraging me to buy. i don't want to look pssed off, and it will take more than a tshirt to make me a double ard bastard.

just go with some other badass vibe, something other than mugger. scoring a goal, women hanging off ya, fancy car, jumping a cavern on a motorbike. just drop the skanger with a stanley knife vibe its pathetic.

I clicked on that and lasted about five seconds. Yer ones vocal fry alone was enough to grind my gears.

"Women in flip flops and open toe shoes!! No one wants to see your pasty white trotters shoved into a pair of shoes that are too small with your horrible badly painted toenails jutting out"

A bit like the rich retirement thing but those fuckers who say oh if I won the euromillions I'd still be in work on Monday. Maybe I'm just jealous they enjoy their work haha. It's not something I get anyway.

Power washing paths , half a day cleaning them , why bother .They look better dirty

The metaverse

Letting your adult kids stay living at home when their cars, clothes and holidays are better than yours.

Overweight people who eat takeaways / junk food constantly or don't walk it off

It doesn't take much effort to turn it round

I don't get the point of gamerfest in the RDS this weekend.

NO coverage or reaction whatsoever to global gaming hardware issues like poor Asus and Msi fare, and the Nvidia 4060/Ti GPU debacle.

Just the usual prevalent cult of personality and, oh yeah, if you can't get to the show this weekend you can buy tickets for the next round of cr@pola in October.

Cool :P

Not only that- those that struggle leaving work and entering retirement can experience extreme stress and quite simply die from it - they have never learned to “live”- only to “work” - it’s essential to take at least a retirement course to prepare yourself

Amateur organisation pretending to be professional. If I was in charge the first thing I would get rid of is the meaningless, stupid, time wasting "parade of the teams" before big games, a total waste.
