People who demand that donkeys who have been mates for ten years and have a family together be separated because their natural behaviour "offends" their precious children. Go fúck yourselves really.

It's not actually a scandal. it should probably read "donkeys in story about them expressing natural behaviour and silly, hysterical over-protective mothers demand that they be gender segregated in case their mentally fragile children are scarred for life" - but I guess that headline doesn't exactly roll off the tongue :P

That's right up there with 'I don't want my sons to see naked men in the men's changing rooms'.

I've heard women giving out about seeing boobs in swimming pool changing rooms, generally accompanied by a hand-flail, a possible religious rant about immodesty and a "think of the children..." :rolleyes:

You'd wonder how they manage to shower and dress themselves without going into some sort of moral "fandango on core"! :pac::pac::pac:

When they start on with that blather all I hear is "I want to give my child a complex about the human body so that they are insecure when they grow up".

Certainly not. I am implying, at worst, Collective Guilt.

Statistics of some fact or another -whether good or bad - highlighted as much as possible to the nth degree, on tv and radio. Utterly spoils and ruins the subject matter. Found on rte 1 radio and newstalk 106.

OldNotWIse · 26-09-2014 11:13AM

The false sincerity of certain radio "talk show" hosts... and the intellectually challenged, hysterical bints that shout their pie holes off on them as if their pathetic amoeboid existence means anything to anyone.

They wont be offended by this post because they wont be able to understand it.

There was a time when I worked in a hostel in Dublin, there were a group of girls staying there for the weekend, they had a blast, no complaints, plenty of praise for the place. I even had a few drinks with them.
But, there was one unusual thing that happened while they were staying there, but it didn't bother them, in fact they were happy with it.

I'm not going to really detail what the unusual thing was....

On the way to the airport, they mentioned the thing to the taxi driver. He immediately rang up Joe to get them to tell thier story.

It was painted in an extremely negative way, and started a media circus around the place I worked. The way that reporters were trying to get more information by phone, in person and in disguise was insane.

Or when someone walks past when you are on the phone so you stop talking just for 3 or 4 seconds to let them get out of earshot, and the person on the other end starts having a schizoid attack - "are you still there?! Can you hear me??!!!!! Hello? Hellaw?!!!" :eek:

The worst is when you are clearly on the phone, and some f*ckwit comes over, hanging by your shoulder, flapping a piece of paper around trying to quickly get you to ok something or agree to something with a nod of head. One of these started off the interruption, in whispered tones with 'I won't interrupt you but.....' You f*cking are interrupting me though with your rain dance beside my desk

I think I mentioned these before. The ones who are on a mobile call themselves and come over to your desk and start mouthing silently and gesturing at you. Just wait til you're finished and then we can talk you gaping fúcker.

Shrieky kids, and the adults who encourage them.
Was in my local coffee shop earlier, relaxing with a cuppa, and the paper. Young kid, about three or four, there with her granny. The kid was clambering on the table, and shrieking about the colouring she was doing. All great fun, I'm sure, and I don't expect a coffee shop to be silent, or anything near it. But the kid's voice was going straight through my head, and the shrieking didn't stop, not even for a minute.

I've just packed earplugs into my bag for future trips to that coffee shop

Or the ones who are too impatient to wait for you to get off the phone and start rooting around your desk trying to find whatever they are looking for themselves. They are lucky to leave with all limbs working. I had to shoo one of them away one day and she wasn't impressed

A while back we went out for dinner one Sunday evening and sat in the quietest part of the restaurant. A couple arrived with 4 kids, sat at the table opposite us, pulled out a deck of cards and proceeded to play cards with the kids, shouting 'good job' a lot. The kids were climbing on their table and under the table and generally making a nuisance of themselves and it really spoiled our evening.

Total fcukwittery on behalf of the parents. That sh1t should be kept for Mc Donalds or Burger king. I blame management as much as the parents. The only good thing was that we'd been given a voucher as a gift so the meal didn't cost us anything. The kids would have been of primary school age, so old enough to know how to behave themselves in that environment. We'd never go back there again.

Going to GameStop to buy the new FIFA, surprisingly quiet.

Leaving GameStop when you realise you don't have enough money.

Go to ATM.

Come back to GameStop.

See that the queue is out the door.

Thirty minutes in queue

This generally happens to me in reverse, in car parks.

1. Pull into car park, not a space to be found within approximately two miles of the front door.

2. Park ages away. Go into shop. Transact business in c. 5 minutes

3. Walk through acres of empty car park on way back to car.

Every. Time.
