Indeed, and in Cork they are called BLOODS.

Because eating crisps is assosiated with being a great leader or sports person, something alot of males aspire to.

Deep, deep seeded emotional trauma there OP! :P

I was standing at the bus stop on Amiens street outside Gandon house years ago (Score7 crew represent) and to my left There was a girl in her mid 20's walking along eating a bag of Snax. to my right, there was a fella walking the opposite direction, in his 40's big scruffy head and moustache on him.

As they were walking towards each other, the fella saw the girl with the Snax and made a motion as if to ask her for a crisp. Which is an odd thing to do to a stranger. She looked a little taken back, but as they passed she held out the bag. the guy stopped for a second as he stuck his hand into the packet of Snax, rooted around and pulled one or two out. he then said "arragh, sure I don't like those ones" and dropped the crisps back into the packet and walked off.

The poor girl looked crestfallen, her nice deed for the day done and it resulted in her packet of snax mauled and abandoned.

she put the rest of the pack in the bin and trudged off.

I've seen them do that on The Wire.

Sounds very much to me like the phantom snot-dropper. It's just as well she threw the crisps away.:eek:

Stuck up much? A person is entitled to eat whatever food they like in public.

After a real hard day at work, working through lunch I think I'm entitled to eat something down the road on my way home without a stuck up prat judging me.

My Catholic upbringing has led me to see all bodily functions as evil. Since eating is a natural bodily function, it should only be done in the privacy of one's home and purely for preventing starvation with no pleasure involved.

..and in a sound-proofed darkened room so that no-one can hear the slobbering and see the slimy bits dribbling down your chin. Eating's a filthy habit.:eek:

uncleoswald · 13-04-2010 04:48PM

Who gives a f*ck when you are just walking by them usually? Its noisy, smelly food on the bus that pisses me off the most. And fruit is the worst of the worst, oranges invade every molecule in the air and stink the place out. And then people just throw the remainders on the floor to rot because sure isn't it only fruit and not real rubbish?

Fruit eating should be banned from public places. Especially cinemas.

If you banned fruits from the theatre, there'd be nobody onstage.

Not every interaction on a Dublin street is a drug deal. maybe most, but not all.

Maybe get out of that sh*t area that's full of littering scumbags? I for one don't litter, and I've never seen a place full of food junk litter outside of the more nackery places of Dublin.

Interesting. Nah, as much as I'd like to, I'd want to eat the ice cream before I get home. You'd need to serve it to me as a surprise.

Edit: In saying that, I'd probably still tell you to wait your turn, the Ice-cream is getting the licking treatment first.

Stench Blossoms · 13-04-2010 05:02PM

I don't mind crisps but it annoys me when someone is walking down the road eating a sandwich and it's going everywhere but their mouth.

Also smoker drivers, or girls who put their makeup on while driving.

r3nu4l · 13-04-2010 05:04PM

People who pull a tissue out of the sleeve of their jumper/cardigan, blow their nose into it and then stick the tissue back into their sleeve for use again :eek:

It seems to be mostly (slightly older) women that do this but holy crapola, it's disgusting and makes me want to throw up every time I see it.

Lol seriously dude, chill out...this is the Internet... People are talking, in jest, about things that irk them. Are you telling me there's nothing unreasonable that annoys you about people and their little ways? Are you sherry bobbins?

speedboatchase · 13-04-2010 05:07PM

Eating them is fine, but when they open their gobs and unload the crip dust, and then start shaking the bag to help?!

NO

biko · 13-04-2010 05:09PM

The only problem I have with this is that I want some crisps too now!

What if it was a Top Deck?

Also Snax are second only to King in Cheese & Onion loveliness.
