    Other things I hate:

    The wannabe hardcore kids who bitch about how awful the Irish Army/police force is.

    Ok, so you got caught for drinking half a can of beer.

    Try the racism in the BElgian army or the French Police Force.

    People who say "My bad!"

    Old biddies who never start packing their groceries until they've paid.

    Old biddies who think it's beneath them to even pack their own groceries.

    grannies in shops asking the shop assistant for an item then sending them back for another and another before deciding to buy 17 lottery tickets and paying entirely in 10 cent coins.

    Those idiots who work for the likes of oxfam on henry street asking for my bank details in the midle of the street so they can get a nice commision.

    People who say they follow a certan football team despite having no active intrest in football or any knowlege about the team.

    People who watch Irish football but wont watch the EPL :D

    1. Tailgaters.
    2. Slow drivers who won't pull over when perfectly safe to do so.
    3. People who are afraid to overtake when perfectly safe to do so but continue to tailgate.. fcuking morons.
    4. People who hum or whistle or tap when nervous.. like that alleviates the tension for everyone?
    5. Presumptuous morons who say things like "Cheer up, it'll never happen".
    Eh for all you know mate I could've just been given a month to live so kindly fcuk off, a$$hole.
    6. People who look down/patronise others.
    7. Hypocrites.
    8. Fellas who pretend they don't give a damn about clothes/appearance in case they're seen as gay but actually do.
    9. Homophobes especially closet-gay homophobes.
    10. Misogynists
    11. Music snobs.
    12. People who obsess about celebrity culture.
    13. Fellas who get all worked up about the premiership but hate the England team.
    14. Emotionally dishonest/two-faced people who are afraid to be straight with you.
    15. The struggling wannabes- ie people who "must have" the '08 model at all costs just because the person next door has it.
    16. People who call their kids Saoirse or the like.
    17. People who hate their jobs but work because it keeps them in SUVs.
    18. Hypocritical/dye-in-the wool/"trendy" atheists.
    Real atheists are fine.
    19. Talentless show-offs /Mediocre self-promoters:
    ie desperate people with no sense of reserve and less talent.
    Talented show-offs are ok though.

    That's off the top of my head anyway. :)

    When working in Dunnes, what really pissed me off was the customers who treated you as a personal shopper.

    I had one old wan who made me walk around the whole shop with her, carry all her crap and advise her on what to buy.

    Then my manager gave out to me for not having my shelves cleared

    I work in a bank, and the one thing that really makes my blood boil is when customers come in (especially older ones) with no pass card and ask to get money out of their accounts and then go balistic when I ask for ID.

    People who claim that football is a game full of sissys or some other bollox, almost allways followed by their idea of what a "mans" game is.

    Nobody cares, stop trying to prove your some sort of superior specimen of man because your sport of choice has more blood/injuries/live badgers shoved up peoples holes.
    Doubly so because you're watching the damn thing, not playing, you don't get to leech of the pretence of being hard.

    this road im currently living on, nice big long raod, with, i think, 9 streets turning off from it, just a nice little housing estate type thing. except that 8 of the 9 streets are named after birds. and ONE street isnt. why? why isn't that one street named after a bird? why would they take an obvious theme, change it partial way through,a dn then change back? why why why didnt they name it after a bird? what was the purpose? it cannot be coincidence that the rest of them are all birds. why name this one 'mermaid'? wtf? that's not a bird.

    Is this the Rockinghorse road bit you were talking about? I think they should have kept to the theme of old school childrens toys. Spinning top lane, Penny whistle st and Jigsaw avenue :)
