    Wait up. We cant smoke inside and now we are being accosted because we are smoking outside.

    I growing to really hate the mass generalisations on boards, particularly AH, when it comes to nationality and gender.

    Like the recent thread "why do men...."

    I also hate plonkers who say they are ashamed to be Irish based on the actions of a minority.

    Finally, i hate sun holidays.

    People who ask "are you squinting?". If I am how in the name of jaysus is it your business? I dont have the best eyesight. I refuse to wear specs. Ergo, I will occasionally squint to read something distant.

    1. At the ATM and somebody dose their thing and decides they want another go and puts the card back in a second time, really pisses me off.

    2. Bad drivers, lazy drivers, people who dont use indicators in a roundabout.

    .

    So in one word, you hate women? :)

    Fussy eaters.
    Toiltet seat hooverers.
    People who spray perfume in my car when I'm giving them a lift.
    Nosepickers and snot flickers.
    Impatient people who collect mountains of change in jars.
    People who take their bad mood out on others especially service staff.
    Control freaks.
    People who talk endlessly about themselves, and expect you to be fascinated.
    The smell of white pan loaf.
    Rule Britianica sports fever.
    Wet willies.
    Egomanics.
    Aggressive drunks.
    People who don't wash dishes properly and promptly and/or leave dishes with food remnants back in the cupboard.


    I'm feeling cranky now. :(

    TO be fair I was a smoker since the age of 15ish. I'm 27-28 now and gave up in March 08. I have to say when I smoked I used to think people who did that were tossers as well but since I've given up cigarettes actually repel me and whilst "accost" is a bit of a strong word it does turn my stomach walking through a cloud of smoke and I would make a face if someone blew it in my direction.

    If only I had more sense to have never taken it up in the first place. Anyway... Maybe one day you'll stop and you'll realise what I'm on about.

    Peoples obsession with British soccer. Where are the Ole Oles on the terraces Friday nights? Hammered by the (summer) Irish.

    People who <3 themselves. Get over it, I know some proper egotists and nothing clears a room quicker....

    21s nightclub. There,said it. People whos idea of a night out is eh...that.

    Berties fanclub. You gombeens. 'Ah sure isn't he great' Can I put my hand in your pocket, rob you, and have a (more or less) tribute show on RTE?

    Michael Buble fans,anyone else who thinks its alright to wreck Leonard Cohen songs.

    People farting all the time/laughing about it like its in some way funny?

    Beboc()nts. hourly updates about your life, we don't give a damn what you're doing now ('OMG drinking tea now') etc.

    In 2008, political snobs. 'Oh yis all voted no because you're thick' I don't know lads, but some of your crowd (Dj Carey?) looked thick as planks.

    People at ATMs begging. Yeah, have this new €50 note mate :rolleyes:

    They do. Its just not you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 435 ✭✭MintyDoris


    People who sniff and then let a drip form on the end of their nose - please, for the love of all that is holy, use a tissue!

    People who, erm ... talk ... ehh ...like ... this and erm ... won't concentrate on erm ...what they are eh ... saying

    Wandery wanderies on the streets of Dublin - MOVE out of the way! By all means enjoy a leisurely stroll but in the inside lane please

    Know-it-alls who think that disagreeing with my opinion when they ask me for it makes them seem intelligent

    Wow, I'm ranty this morning :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 173 ✭✭adagio


    People who throw their waste from their cars. It baffles me what frame of mind they are in when they do this?
    People who smoke in a confined space when children are in the room. I encountered this recently and had to make an excuse to leave as they are family I see once p/year and if I vented my feelings I would loose this one/year visiting privilege.
    Nuff said.:mad::mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,350 ✭✭✭skywalker_208


    People who put their bag on the seat beside them on the bus so no one will sit next to them - did you pay for 2 tickets? NO? Well move the feck over then!

    Old people driving at 20mph... use your bus pass gramps and get out of our way! We actually have somewhere to be!

    Jesus, hate that.

    People with those trolly things for shopping, and a grudge against anyone with functioning ankles.

    Ditto for stroller pushers.

    People who drive under the limit in the fast lane, in ideal conditions, when the inside one is empty.

    People who want to chat first thing in the morning. Shut up for Christ sake, I just want my coffee.

    People who talk about television characters as though they were real people.

    People with B.O.

    People with the gaps between their teeth jammed with food.

    People.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,905 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    People who amble along on busy streets / crowded places getting in the ****in way.

    Especially families who plod along five or six abreast taking up the whole fcukin footpath - Will. You. Fcukin. MOVE!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,967 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Gonna come across a right pedantic fool for this one but here it goes

    Your mobile number is not o eight five/six/seven
    It is zero eight five/six/seven.

    This also goes for "Newstalk one o six"

    I don't get people using the letter o for a number :confused:
    I fully realise 99% of the population will disagree or don't care, it's my own pet hate and that's what this thread is for.

    I do deal with people in France or Luxembourg in my job. Even they refuse to use zero, it's not like they are native English speakers who thought them this bad habit.

    Oh and elderly frail people who aren't so frail and will elbow and barge past you in any queue, particularly for a Bus Eireann coach.

    People who call the overtaking lane, the 'fast' lane.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,813 ✭✭✭TPD


    The kind of person who would think of posting 'your ma' on this thread.

    And indecisiveness, but I'm guilty of that myself. Or am I?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,305 ✭✭✭✭K-9


    People who say "Just touching Base" Why? What?

    *Cringes and then walks away!

    21s gets great praise from my friends in Dublin but cant judge for myself.

    And yes Bertie is just a version of Charlie Haughey who has the sense to act like a normal person and therefore seem likable-this doesnt get rid of the fact hes a conman.

    If I see this from a van or lorry with a company name and number on it , I call them and complain. Normally the owner will be annoyed because it gives them a bad name and they will give out to the driver who littered. If I ever see it from a normal car I plan to call the litter warden.

    People who say "ATM Machine" should be kicked squarely in the bollocks each and every time they do so until they stop.

    It's a fúcking ATM. The M stands for machine. Stop saying "Machine Machine".

    Easy solution, forget Premiership this and LOI this.

    Just watch Gaelic and Hurling, sorted!
