    people who idolize celebrities

    when someone disrespects someone for something based on their baised view before standing in other persons shoe.

    People who only open their mouths to quote the Simpsons or Father Ted or whatever.

    Loud people and skangers in general.

    People who latch on to the troubles in the middle east just to have something to be enraged about. While I appreciate that there are some people who have a sincere interest in these matters I've met many who harp on and on about Syria.And before that it was Egypt. Before that Libya. In a months time it'll be somewhere else and the other countries will be forgotten.

    People who get into a discussion with someone and when their argument is countered with a clear,concise and completely valid point they opt out of the whole thing by raising their eyes to heaven as if their frustrated by the fact that no one is on par with their vast intellectual intelligence. Spare the theatrics and just respond to the point raised.

    People who have just read a book (usually something like 1984, or Catcher in the Rye) and proceed to waffle on about how life changing it is.
    Skangers who shout their simpson quotes really loudly on the bus and when you tell them to stop they raise their eyes to heaven before bouncing a (stolen) copy of 1984 off the side of your head and shouting 'Free Libya'

    Graaarrgh. This. It doesn't matter how fun and smart and charming somebody is, if they're rude to staff, they might as well have dropped their trousers and taken a poop on the floor in front of me. I just can't wrap my head around it, some of the nicest people just turn into monsters when they have that little moment of power over somebody else, and it's just horrible to be in their company when it happens.

    service staff who are rude or unhelpful... nothing more frustrating!

    I generally think that when ppl are rude to service staff its not their fault but vice versa(generalising but its def the majority of occasions)

    so you hate people who watch popular television, people who watch the news and people who, for whatever reason, havent read a certain book before you?

    People who say "I often got a slap and it never did me a bit of harm".

    No no no. I don't like it when people only quote tv in conversation. I know everyone will mention something that they have seen on television at some point. It's when they always quote tv programmes. I have no problem with people watching the news, it's when they latch on to a cause and start talking 'passionately' about the plight of people in another part of the world . And then in a weeks time they've moved on to somewhere else and the previous problems are forgotten. And I simply find it irritating when someone has read something and they feel the need to inject it into a conversation where it is not warranted in a 'oh look I've read a book' sort of way.

    Gossipy men. Im a man and Im the first to agree that men can be as bad as or even worse gossips than women but its women who get the name for it. I know this guy who is 42 and whenever he hears some piece of gossip or even if hes angry at something he will find one of his young female friends and huddle down in whispered tones to share all the goss, usually laughing in a high pitched tone all the way. It really grates me when men behave like this, its essentially making them into women and I have no time for guys who havent the guts to solve a problem face to face and instead have to turn into a spiteful 15yr old girl, there are a huge number of men out there who do this. :mad:

    Three quarter length shorts. I'm not quite sure why.
    Or 'lorts' as I call them. (long shorts)

    Irish people who get all worked up and super-enthusiastic about the Lions rugby team. Facebook in particular is full of this shite of late.

    People who use slurs, racist epithets repeatedly - after being asked not to. Ditto for people who use the word "tranny" and pretend they don't know they're being offensive.

    When you're ignorant and you know it is a dealbreaker for me.

    Is it ok to hate him because he's a weird little man?

    Well yeah suppose it is, but i like to think of him more as 'unique' than 'weird'.

    Religion? Is he still trying that one?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,628 ✭✭✭Femme_Fatale


    Excessive political correctness - and I'm a liberal myself. But some people seem to search with a fine toothed comb for stuff to get offended by, even when offence isn't intended. Not everything non-PC (and obviously I'm not including the really awful stuff) is meant seriously, or there's no malice intended and it's just down to lack of awareness.

    What's wrong with someone having a neck tattoo, that it could make you disrespect them?

    Well said. I feel the same way myself. I wouldn't include the really awful stuff either, but sometimes you have to call a spade a spade and not a shovel;)
