Their political views.

I could just be there chatting away to someone I met on the train or something like that & they'd say something like "Israel is a really great country man, I was watching this channel called Fox News last night it showed how it was so brave defending it's self from so many terrorists in Gaza" and my replie would be something like " yes, while killing & injuring 1000's of old men, women, kids & babies with no were to run you ****ING MORON"

For me it's racism... You could be chatting away as normal and some starts on about the poles, black people etc and I'm like "nope". Happened to me last Xmas on the train when a woman started on about the black ticket collector while HE WAS LIKE A FOOT AWAY AND HE COULD HEAR HER! I told her I work with black people and they're no more inflexible or worse than their jobs than white people. You could feel the chill from both of us for rest of the journey.

It's not inexplicable tho, I mean if you're so silly and unimaginative the judge people by colour of their skin, you're probably not for me!

People who keep on about how others say something incorrect about them and how they "sort them out good and proper every time". The same "wronged" individual has little else to talk about.

People who listen to spin fm.

Two faced family members who believe that their doing you some great honour by running you into the ground and then expect thanks.

Narcissists basically, who wouldn't spend one second longer with somebody it didn't give them them pleasure or that in some way benefited them.

eviltwin · 08-03-2015 02:15PM

Lazy fcuks in the park, at the beach etc who can't be bothered to take their litter with them. Annoys me more when it's a family. You just know the kids will grow up to be like their skank parents.

People who think Ross is the best character in Friends automatically take a step down in my estimation. I'm not even a huge Friends fan.

Golaco · 08-03-2015 02:46PM

People who leave you a "voicemail" which isn't actually a voicemail. It's just that they called you, let it go to voicemail, listened to your entire greeting, listened to the beep, waited a second and ONLY THEN hung up

Damn yeah had a guy sit beside me on the bus (I was at the front of the bus) when he was getting off at his stop to ask me 'Is the next stop x. Is there any stop before x?' and I said yeah it was the next stop and told him the time the bus got back to that stop to head home as I had overheard his conversation with the bus driver and there was some confusion between them as the bus driver's English wasn't amazing so I thought being friendly I'd just clear it up for him in case he wasn't sure.

Now, same as you the bus driver was literally within touching distance and the guy comes out with, loudly "Oh right, I couldn't understand what that man was saying, he's clearly doesn't understand the local dialect" in that subtle racist old man way and I felt like giving him a right talking too asking him had he ever had to learn a completely new language in a completely foreign country before. But I didn't feel like making a scene being so near the bus driver so I just ignored your man and didn't even look at him until he got off. I don't care if he was older, he must have been in his late 60's early 70's an in my opinion should have enough cop-on to know what's appropriate and not appropriate to say not to mention it was just a rude thing to say. My father is around that age and he certainly wouldn't come out with something like that! I hate when people talk to non-Irish people in a really slow, exaggerated condescending way like their stupid or talk about them right in front of them!:mad:

People (especially family members) who act all religious and celibate like secretly effing others (I couldn't hate anything else more!!!), people who just don't get depression! and oh yea people taking selfies all the time (wouldn't absolutely hate you for it but it just annoys me).

I have a friend on Facebook (the type of fb friend I've never actually met) who has posted pictures of a friend of theirs. This friend of a friend has such a smug look on his face in every picture that in the unlikely event I ever meet him, I'll struggle not to just lamp the ****er. He may actually be the nicest person on earth, but at this stage I don't care. That smug look is imprinted on my brain.

Littlekittylou · 08-03-2015 08:26PM

bull****.

Pretty explainable though isn't it?

happyoutscan · 08-03-2015 08:42PM

People who claim to be from someplace when they are not from that place.

For example:

Me: Where are you from?

Person: Athlone.

Me: Cool, what part?

Person: Roscommon side.

Me: Cool, where on the Roscommon side?

Person: ...Roscommon Town.

Me: (Clown)

No it isn't. I won't get up tomorrow and drink vodka for breakfast therefore why is it 'explainable' for having to deal with those who do. It's a conscious decision they make and it ruins everyone else's lives.

It endlessly fascinates the BF and I to witness groups of people in the pub, everyone looking at their phones and not conversing. I've seen groups do this ALL evening, with barely a word utter between any of them. So strange.

It's fcuking depressing is what it is. And what's the most depressing is how it seems now to be totally socially acceptable, I mean I've seen people who would otherwise be perfectly polite and mannerly individuals pull up their phones smack in the middle of a chat with you and brazenly, without a word, totally disengage from the conversation while they check their facebook / read a message / email. What the absolute fcuk, like.

I've got three phones, one of which is non-stop buzzing with work emails every 3.5 seconds because I have a stupid 24/7 job, and I'd still not dare to be so bloody rude and disrespectful. I'd excuse myself and go to the bathroom and check it there or at the very least, apologize for having to do it and then stick the phone on silent and check it only if my company was occupied. Bloody rudeness. I hate the 21st century.
