    People constantly abusing disabled parking spaces, no blue permit & no shame. Women are the worst for it!

    Lately they are extremely rude to my daughter with a very complex disability. One stuck their fingers up at her & today one asked her where her wheelchair was. My daughter is a child! Neither had a blue badge.

    Would you agree that RTE make the most unfunny, shite sketch shows? . . No worries if not!

    X, formerly known as twitter.

    I'm relatively new to it, one year on it. Great for sports results and so on. But the overall content, you'd worry for the world. It's so toxic. Totally unmoderated.

    Online posters who put up certain gifs, constantly.

    That Leonardo DiCaprio one with the smug face and drink in hand, from The Wolf of Wall Street, is ubiquitous online.

    Another one I'm sick of seeing is the girl spilling a drink and laughing at something particularly amusing. A lot of Fr. Ted gifs are overused too.

    The lowest of the low.

    We have a particularly scummy element of these folk in the North.

    They have near permanent ownership of their elderly parents blue badge, keep it in their own car (often a range rover or bmw) and then park wherever they want to with next to zero enforcement

    Gobsh!te bus drivers playing the radio through every single speaker on the bus making it inescapable. I don’t think they would get away with it in any other European country.

    The media's insistence on reporting that that Chilean kayaker was "swallowed" by the whale. He wasn't fcuking swallowed, he was in its mouth for about three seconds before being spat back out. Absolutely terrifying experience for the chap, I'm sure, but does it really need to be sensationalised even more???

    The AP article in The Journal even quotes a marine biologist explaining that it's not physically possible for a Humpback whale to swallow a person, but the article still refers to him being swallowed throughout 🙄🙄🙄

    People who lose it with transport staff when they miss planes, buses, trains.

    It's not their fault you rocked up late.

    When you come across a boards username and post on a thread and go I was arguing for ages with that poster on another thread about a month ago.. but I can't for the life of me remember what it was about😂

    Thanks for the tip, I’ve no plans on going there anytime soon anyway 😝



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,660 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    You know you can look back on both your own and everyone else's previous posts, right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,030 ✭✭✭Oíche Na Gaoithe Móire


    If that poster posts a lot daily, it's not worth it. Can be a trawl.

    After the initial annoyance I generally let it go.

    Also many days I'm on a laptop and you can only look at old comments on a phone, for some reason. You can just see discussions.

    Pro tip: on a laptop, just manually replace "discussions" with "comments" in the URL and it will show you their posts rather than just threads they've started.

    another one muted on social media,,,this morning, a ridiculous number of memes related to Valentine’s Day, followed by more to do with global tragedy’s or political unfairness in various parts of the world…basically all over the shop. Posting something every half hour since about 7 am… Be better off focusing on herself as opposed to shît she can’t change and stuff quite frankly I don’t want to read about…

    Trying to find out when my Internet will be back on . They keep telling me to go to www.whatever . I would if I had Internet access you #@!

    Trailers for films seem to give away far too much of the story nowadays. Horror ones are the worst for showing the deaths.

    My vans heater has two settings, off and centre of the sun.

    So my choice is either windows so badly fogged up they may as well be made of solid steel, or eyeballs that have had all the moisture sucked out so they are pretty much visually empowered biltong.

    About 3 hours ago in omni park… witnessed this wan about 28, 3 kids in tow, no obvious disability, no sticker ( i checked )... only two spaces but obviously deciding that she was a fully paid up member of the IGK ' I got kids ' brigade....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,572 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    AS a badge holder people parking in disabled spots is infuriating , but so too are the pensioners who wag their badge at me and walk over to give out about a ' young man taking 'their spot . No obvious disability . It's not a pensioners badge .

    TA the anger I'm feeling tonight, aimed mainly at myself. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me,such a fcuking true saying.

    Honestly some people are just so awful and they never change. Just breeze through life not giving one fcuk about anyone but themselves…and seem to just get away with it..I'm seething.

    Telling my wife I'm going to do something only to get a lecture on why it needs doing.

    I KNOW that's why I'm going to do it!

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I suspect An Post failed to deliver an item for me today.

    There is a current ad on TV for Alpro yogurts. They refer to breakfast as "brekkie" at one stage in it.

    Any adult who calls breakfast "brekkie" is an immediate ick for me.
