Lazy People

    I'm getting sick of lazy pricks who do nothing but play video games, eat junk food and claim on the dole,

    I know two people who have been to college have computer degrees and just sit on their hole all day playing games or on the internet.

    It's depressing that i'm in work all day up at 5.30 and home at 7.

    And they won't have moved all day. I have gone out and cut the grass done the back garden cleaned my room on the weekends and they haven't budged an inch.

    The thing is i wouldn't have a problem with this if they had looked for work but they haven't.

    I have vancancys in my place and they won't give me a CV for it. But yeah I know i'm ranting but is there any one else like this please say i'm not alone.

    So AH, What advise could you give for me in this situation

    Pick one option;

    Don't be jealous / go on the dole / move house.

    Playing video games > working a McJob.

    Tis none of your business what those two guys do with their lives. If they want to waste it, so be it.

    Wow a dole haters thread. Haven't had one of them in, oh, must be a full week or so..

    OP, to give your claims more credibility you need to add "Joe" to the end of each sentence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,390 ✭✭✭Stench Blossoms


    If you have a computer degree then playing games is research.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,419 ✭✭✭allanb49


    As i said don't care there on the dole, it's the pure laziness of not bothering to look for a job that gets to me

    I totally agree, you have to work 9 to 5 to live your life. If you don't have a job, you are wasting your life

    lol @ sheep

    It's terrible to hear that a 70 year-old woman has to work those hours?

    You're complaining because, basically, in the middle of a recession, with a 14% unemployment rate, that you actually HAVE a job?

    I've heard it all now.

    Not exactly. The workers only post here during office hours, when they are "working" & the doleites only post from 7/8pm till around 5am (ie., the hours when they are not actively seeking employment), so there's a gap of about 5 hours out of the 24.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,547 ✭✭✭Your Airbag


    Dolers, at least there always at home when you call in.

    so we'll say 19?

    Some even go to the pub and drink and have a good time there during the day, more prefer the bookies,shopping or leisurely strolls.
    Heck I met a family of dole people on holidays in Spain for a week.
    And, there is a family nearby with 2 cars, yes 2 cars; what do you need 2 cars for when your on the dole?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall,
    All you gotta do is call,
    And I'll be there, yes I will,
    I'm on the dole.

    Everyone pays taxes. Workers and idlers alike. BTW,are these two brothers of grumpy?


  • Posts: 18,046 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Meh, I've done both.. Prefer working but understand how ya can became lethargic on the dole cause it happened me. Doing the 9-5 for two years now and I still appreciate it after my time on the dole..

    The easy way to think of it Op is that yes, part of our our wages go into a big pot for all to take but what we are surrounded by; infrastructure, police, education etc. is a still a pretty good deal for what we pay in taxes each month.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    awesome im playing call of duty right now got a kill streak of 24 one shy of of an end game newq

    when i get a newq I look for a job I swear..

    op man serously, get of your ****ing high horse... If youve spent any time on the dole you'd know the above.....

    its ****. You have nothing to look forward to.
    when that happens you stop giving a fvck while some people can counteract this others can't. They just accept it as the way it is... or lack the a bility/vision to see were they wanna be in life.

    Ive got 8 days left till i know weather the mature student lotterey is coming for me. if not im into fass so i can teach again.! but thats the way it is for me.

    If everyone just worked less and shared the jobs out there'd be jobs for everyone. No point in pretending that it takes so much skill to do your job, or that there aren't equally skilled people. Some people can make these claims, but not you, average person.
