If you could ban one thing, what would it be?

Rory Gallagher · 08-06-2015 12:42AM #1

Is there any product,custom,phrase etc etc.. that you would wish to ban?

You can be as open ended with the answers as you like.
Personally I would like to see a stop to whingy singer-songwriter music(Ed Sheeran etc)
Also those atrocious clothing chains such as Abercrombie and Fitch and Jack Wills, or T-Shirts with ironic catchphrases on them.

EDIT: Just realise my horrific exclusion of the word ''would'' in the thread title, I suppose I'll be banning that too.

Inisvale burgers, simply the greatest load of shıte to ever pass my lips.

Smoking in cars which have kids in them.

That f**king enrages me.

Seats that go back on airplanes and buses, had me knees squished by some ignorant so and so recently, horrible experience. It's cramped enough as it is without allowing the person infront of you to tilt their seat back.

Control freaks who want to ban smoking in cars.

First mass on Sunday.

I take your point, but I'd when you say "ban" Ed Sheeran and Hollister, I'd say "burn" em. Hipster crap. For men who like beards and talk about coffee.

sierrajuliet46 · 08-06-2015 12:47AM

Sorry bout that duplicating

Bridge93 · 08-06-2015 12:48AM

Water protests until they learn how to behave. It's a case of the 1% ruining it for the 99% but the way they go on is unacceptable and until the minority or somehow eradicated it borders on civil disorder at times.

Fake tan.

seriously, you look and feel crap.

ahnowbrowncow · 08-06-2015 12:49AM

Sex. I'm just so exhausted from having sex with dozens of beautiful women each week.

NachoBusiness · 08-06-2015 12:55AM

Speed bumps. Ban 'em and have the current ones all removed.

Not cause I want to speed, but because they destroy cars and most likely cause injuries and delay ambulances / make those in 'em worse than they already are.

Kids running around and in a restaurant at night
Eating out is expensive, I want to enjoy my night out with my wife, I've left my kid at home, poitely do the same with yours or don't be surprised if I stick my foot out and send the little fcker flying

KungPao · 08-06-2015 01:00AM

N*ggers.

I can't stand them. Nagging about this, nagging about that. Just be happy ffs.

Yurt2 · 08-06-2015 01:01AM

Twitter.

Idiots of every political hue clustering around hashtag campaigns thinking their outrage should dictate public policy. Mass bullying of people with contrary opinions or those who make a slip up in their life, and bitter celebrities engaging in embarrassing feuds in the public eye. (Witness John Cleese and Piers Morgan currently making donkeys of themselves at the moment)

I truly believe the world was a better place before Twitter, and that it has done more harm than good.

Political slander phrases such as ''Libtard'' or ''Rightist crackpot''.
These phrases do not constitute an argument and make those that employ these phrases sound like idiots with no substantial argument or thought with regards to discussion.

You live near Tony Soprano by any chance?

Eating a burger with a fork and knife.

Pretentious gobshîtes that do it. I can't actually think of another thing that enrages me more.

Macdonalds is child friendly, you should have gone drive though and ate in the car.

The advantages of Ryanair and Dublin Bus

School uniforms, and religion in schools. Damn, that's two things

Selfies

SMJSF · 08-06-2015 01:20AM

Fashion. Anything you get in penneys, you look awful, and pathetic.

Landlords not accepting rent allowance. It should be treated as discrimination, and should be taken more seriously.

Kids being on any public premises where alcohol is served.

Exams. They're useless. Cramming 1-4 years of books for a 3 hour test? Waste of time and money. Assess every few months, like the LCA.
And get the points system gone too. Just because someone isn't good at French or art and get "only" 300 points shouldn't mean that they can't do nursing (example).
Less stress and pressure.

Family guy and American dad.

Bank charges!!!!

What you meant to say is 'Down with that sort of thing' isn't it?

stehyl15 · 08-06-2015 01:24AM

I would ban people protesting in Dublin city centre or just allow it on a sunday yes you have the right to protest but others also have the right to go in to town without being harrassed or getting stuck in traffic for no apparent reason.

LynnGrace · 08-06-2015 01:27AM

Bad manners. Young or old, nothing excuses you, whether it is barging through a queue, or yelling into a mobile phone, in public... Nothing, I tell you, nothing...

If you could ban one thing, what would it be?
