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.
Men on social media who charge in like Lancelot whenever the slightest criticism is made of any female ( for anything)
Older men who walk with their hands clasped behind their backs. They can be usually found staring at things like planning permission notices or inspecting things that usually aren't really any concern of theirs.
The same people also have no problem with viciously insulting and harassing men.
People that use “I” instead of “we” in work settings. Examples;
”I have a budget of €1 mill”
”I spent X on that new system”
”I have a strategic vision to outline now”
It’s the sign of a terrible egocentric narcissist.
Anyone who takes every opportunity to remind people that they don't drink alcohol.
Whether it's those idiots who wear pioneer pins or they just announce it whenever they get the opportunity to.
Not drinking alcohol is not some sort of achievement in life it is nothing to be proud of don't be going on like it is.
I notice politicians (mainly ministers) do this all the time.....e g. Stephen Donnelly
Watching the golf.
The guys who shout "get in the hole" incessantly. Seems to be more prevalent among the US fans.
Grown men cycling bikes with no hands.
Hands in pockets while looking at planning permission is grand? Asking for a friend.
Don't you assume their gender!
Parents who drive their kids to school when its less than a 10 minute walk away, i just dont get it. They also end up taking longer in the car shuffling along a congested road, an inch at a time, and cause a big bottleneck in traffic while they insist on stopping the car right up on the path to kiss their little Tristan or Megyn goodbye. No wonder so many kids are unfit in this country when their brain dead parents wont let them walk 10 minutes to and from school.
But didn't you know there's a paedo on every corner.
Adults who have normal jobs but play Music for a hobby or pub singers who record themselves/make their own records and refer to themselves as musicians. It just screams delusional & lack of self awareness. Same goes for people who are 'comedians' because they sign up to do local comedy nights and made their own comedy instagram 'business' page & 'self proclaimed 'Actors' who participate in film students college projects and sign themselves up to be movie & tv extras. Its fine to play music, do comedy nights on stage because you enjoy it or act because you enjoy it and its fun for you, its a totally different story when your ego gets inflated and you believe you have the talent to be successful. Its even worse when they're over 30 and all of their friends and family feel like they need to constantly offer encouragement & support so as not to hurt their feelings or burst their little bubble. If you're not getting anywhere its because you're not talented enough. That doesn't mean you should give up what you love but drop the delusions & call your hobby what it is.
What? It's a hobby and they are musicians. They should be applauded as opposed to castigated. Even if they are crap.
You're from a tiny regional capital that barely registers as a city in many countries, hell Manchester dwarfs it and is almost as close to it as Cork, and no one looks to Manchester as some metropolis
So yeah, Dubliners saying culchie screams tosser (and very insular)
Its fine to be crap, its fine to enjoy things but when someone describes themselves as a musician, artist, actor or whatever just because they enjoy it but have no talent or lack basic skill, they come across as egotistical & delusional. They also give genuine creative & artistic people a bad name who then find it harder to be taken seriously. Just how it is.
In the running community people are encouraged to describe themselves as a runner regardless of ability.
Too dense dude, didn’t read.
Dublin is bigger then Manchester😂
Jesus, I would think not drinking alcohol in this country is definitely something to be proud of, considering everything from a 3 month old baby's christening, to an under 13 football final, to a long hike up a mountain, all have to be celebrated in a pub.
I do drink alcohol.
Its not the same, 'running' isn't considered work like being an artist, comedian or musician. Runners that do it for fun & a hobby dont record themselves running, post it all over social media & make medals for themselves then tell everyone they won a medal or creating a race for themselves & telling everyone they won it like they won the Olympics. When someone plays music as a hobby, grand! When someone plays music as a hobby & makes their own albums, grand! When someone plays music as a hobby & makes their own singles & albums then posts on social media & tells people they've just released their first single or first album, like they've been signed by a record company when they havnt been - Tosser!

I wrote a comment online so should I call myself a writer now? or an online commenter? Should I mention it every time I meet someone new?
Yeah, go for it Airy good idea…. Let me think about a good name for what we do…I’d go for ‘Bordjournalist’ I mean
journal is daily and you are probably on here daily…… there’s probably a degree course for that somewhere.
yeh….. beats ‘activist’ or ‘influencer’ any day.
Cyclists who cycle on the road and hold up all the traffic and yet there is a cycle lane right beside them!!!!!!!!!!!
They should be fined. All this space in Dublin made available for bus /cycle lanes and some of them not even using them!
By the way I've no problem sharing the road with cyclists(especially country roads) do it on daily basis and unlike other people I only over take when safe to do so and keep my distance.
That's very good of you now not having a problem with sharing roads with cyclists. Aren't you great!
Sounds great, ill go write a book about my experience and might write some fiction while im at it, ill self publish them and call myself a writer with multiple published books. Ill bring it up all the time and put it in all my social media bio's. Ill set up an instagram for it and sure why not, might go by influencer too.
Oh christ, their metropolitan areas,not the city centres
Nah, steer clear of ‘influencer’ shower of tossers usually.
Jerks up in darkened rooms pumping out crud and bile….you are better than that.
Just let a bit of air into your posts, let them flutter in the wind…Áosdana will be after you in jigtime.
