    I'm a bit of a tight arse

    Irish water - no one else is paying why should i

    TV licence - never watch any of the main Irish channels so I'd rather not help pay Joe duffys quarter million wage

    Torrent - can't justify this one morally

    Health insurance - don't see why you should pay for it, gives the government an excuse to not fix the two tier health system

    I'd say health insurance is in your own interest no?

    Took a no 2 before a shower, thought I'd just shower off. Ended up with a heap of ****e on my hand

    You could just have a dump in the shower.

    In an ideal world, I'd like not to be paying for somebody else's debts. Thank you, Universal Social Charge.

    I haven't paid our water bill yet. I'm not refusing to pay it though, just waiting to see whether Irish Water will survive or not.

    Toilets. If I have to give 20c to use the toilet I expect it to be in the upper percentile of toilets. I have been disappointed every time I have had to pay.

    I wouldn't mind paying it, if it was fair, say 250 a year.

    But no. You dare to have a 2 litre or over the Bastards will nail you to the Cross with the rustiest nails in the world.:mad:

    Okay I know I might be just feeding but none of those allowances are part of the dole. In fact most of the people getting children's allowance or medical card aren't on the dole.

    Probably cheaper than the shower now with the water charges!

    You need to get one of those hoses, or a bidet :p



    It's more of an optional charge but I hate paying tips.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    You could just have a dump in the shower.

    Or not bothre buying a shower and just wash by sccoping handfuls of toiletwater out of the bowl...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    You may not pay for it but you have to earn it.

    this is the first thing I thought of reading the thread title, whoever runs the Stephen's Green centre can fupp off if they think I'm paying to take a dump.

    Bread.

    Private clamping.

    The idea that someone can set up a private company and immobilise my vehicle is ridiculous. The fact that its a pretty lawless business just encourages me even more not to pay.
