I will start the ball rolling.

1) people that left their €1 or €2 in the supermarket trolley not to walk a few feet to return it, it doesn't happen nowadays that's for sure.

Those coins were probably jammed in the trollies, and people were too embarrassed to use a tyre wrench on them to get their money back, because they didn't want to be seen as paupers.

It took me 20 minutes to get my coin out once, I've no shame.

I know a builder who organised his own 'surprise' 40th birthday party.

re-mortgaged their house to buy BMWs and then wafted around looking down their noses at me in my banger. Ahh, but I waited in the long grass, and soon as the bimmers were re-posessed I nipped out and bought two big jeeps, a his n hers. I now waft around looking down my nose at them. Someday I'll have enough for a house, then that'll show em. The kids hate living in this long grass in fairness.

Having a social life would be one of them, I'd imagine.

Done a stint in security at a very big well known Southside shopping center that the "higher class" flocked to in their thousands.
Most I ever collected was a little over 60 euro one night.
Usually always walked away at the end of my shift with 20-40 euro in change.

Oh how I miss being employed to do a job I didn't do in the slightest.

Threw their change in the bin

Super-Rush

Made going out for Sunday lunch a nightmare.

Table after table of Marys and Paddys with their litter of little bastards wrecking the place.

Paddy roaring down his phone about the massive job he's just taken on.

Mary pretending to know what a bottle of Chablis was.

Big Bottom

Sunday lunch?

I think only pretentious twats go to 'Sunday lunch' what a waste!

Cienciano

Wánkers telling people how much their house has gone up as if they were real estate experts.
Although, we have similar wánkers now that never bought (usually because they were too young or didn't want to be tied down with a mortgage or were in australia) that pretend they're real estate experts cos they rented and aren't in negative equity now.

Every second eeijit bought a racehorse and became experts on racing overnight.

I used to hear this one builder name dropping all the time in the pub.

"I was there in the ring with Aidan O'Brien and Jamie Spencer talking about our chances. We were confidant, the ground was good to soft so, I threw 10k at 5/1 on the nags head. Easy money when you know the form."

Irish Guitarist

Used €50 notes when they ran out of toilet paper.

When their butler made a mistake they would shoot him and get a new one. The new butlers first job would be to dispose of the old butlers body.

I remember one (formerly dog rough)lad who made it big in property was showing me a place he'd bought. On the way in there was a tiny bit of dirt on the stonework and he took out a pocket handkerchief from his immaculate suit and cleaned it off, tutting.

He subsequently lost his hole in a spectacular way, dominating the papers for a fair while with tales of just how screwed he was.(:D sorry, but in fairness).

The roughest man in Ireland bought that place off the banks and set up a kip hole of a shop in it, absolutely wrecking the gaff. Last time I met hankie boy he was in Aldi buying a six-pack and he wandered out to his battered Astra. My inner cnut had a little giggle, tbh. I could live with all the other pretencious stuff he did, but jasus, a pocket handkerchief.
