    When you work in customer service or retail then you are fully qualified to know what a wanker/tosser is
    Around 90% of the population

    Guys who use "bro speak" in the gym. Oh good god, stfu. You're not American, and even if you were, it'd still be as annoying as hell. Extra annoying when it's the gym staff who are doing it.

    Also, personal trainers shouting "encouragement" at their clients. I find it so CRINGE.

    The gym culture attracts so many tossers.

    If your name is Bono.

    Ive met people who have spent time in his company and they said he was great craic. And no, they werent **** either ;)

    The "Bono is an awful knob" thing people have about him is just Irish begrudgery IMO. Sure, he pontificates about his charity work etc but would you really say no to going on the lash with him?

    People who support political parties just because daddy did.
    Especially those who defend every cut, charge and new tax.

    There's a few signs. Cultivated accents are a signature trademark of pure arse holes.

    The same people can ususally be seen going around wearing their armani sunglasses and designer summer wear in the middle of august when its 15 degrees out and there's a bit of sun. Arse hats.

    Lads going around with a top knot hairstyle, just to be hip or trendy. It looks ****ing ridiculous. Most of them don't even have long hair and still try to attempt it, ending up looking like a compete wanker. Do they not know they look a show?

    People who vape. ****ing hipsters.

    *btw - can you call a woman a wanker or is it just a male term??
    The pejorative is bean flicker

    but is bean flicker a derogatory term ?

    When someone complains that their favourite craft beer isn't available in a pub.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 140 ✭✭Detached Retina


    Often accompanied by #1 and a faint whiff of stale urine, similar to that of a gone off bag of wheelies crisps in a way.

    THAT Smell is usually from leaving your washing in the machine for a day or more after washing. The smell is obvious and a lot like piss. Now with kids, and being busy, I've done it before once or twice, but I REWASH them. It smacks of lazyness - some people just throw them on the bannisters to dy out and wear them, pissy moldy stink and all. Its not like you can miss it. Worked/lived with lots of people over the years that do this :mad:

    People who wear a baseball cap when driving a car. It should be the international symbol to let other drivers know that the wearer is a complete wanker and is liable to do anything on the road and will most likely kill everyone bar themselves.

    Not a whole lot to learn about UFC to be fair - it's just 2 guys in a ring fighting.

    Actually true, he does pontificate, but he'd have time for anyone - not a bit snobby or exclusive, very personable.

    I'll remember to take mine off when I pop to lidl on my break so :eek: (I keep the pic side in to the holder on my lanyard (on the wanker list too :/) so its not showing btw, mings)


  • Posts: 8,647 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The lanyard brigade.. Ye know who ye are..
    Usually accompanied by 'borrowed my father's suit till i can afford my own' man..

    These tossers, who themselves work for minimum wage, will look down on anyone who's parents earn less than 100k pa.

    What's wrong with wearing a lanyard?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 217 ✭✭wetlandsboy


    People who wear skinny tracksuit bottoms in the gym. People who wear hoodies over a baseball hat in the gym. Gyms certainly get an awful amount of gimps.

    What about putting QR codes with links to one's Linkedin profile on one's CV? How does that make you feel?

    Someone who walks through a door and doesn't check if there's someone behind them, or doesn't make sure the door is shut after them

    People who treat waitstaff and customer service people badly. Or doesn't even say thank you.

    These are simple things, but they stand out to me about a person

    Yeah, likewise someone who clicks to get a waiters attention, I wanna f*cking smack their face!!!!

    Someone who promotes the reckless open borders policy this country has.

    Of course if you oppose reckless mass immigration they will scream "racist " at you whilst then droning on about diversity.

    White guilt is eating them alive

    Anyone who harps on and on about how the country is being swarmed by blacks. In a country where I can drive for hours without actually seeing one. Not that that matters.

    Well you found the right thread after all anyway.

    Indeed. They're usually your security swipe into the building you work/your work car park, in many companies, and secondary schools have them too now.

    What about a bully that only bullies people about being lazy?

    There's standard ****, then there's bully ****, then there's lazy ****. All equally wankerish. I've no time for any of them.

    People who wear skinny tracksuit bottoms in the gym. People who wear hoodies over a baseball hat in the gym. Gyms certainly get an awful amount of gimps.

    Or those multi coloured lycra man leggings with v neck tee that have now crept outside the gym into every day life :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41 slangamerican


    Anyone that has gone away for a year and then spends the next 5 years saying "it wasn't like this in xxxx" & "they didn't do it like that in xxxx' Yeah I get it you've been away somewhere

    Were you driving at nightime?

    Someone's sense of style or how they have their hair doesn't define them as a person, you should be judged on how you act not how you look.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,006 ✭✭✭Ramza


    , you should be judged on how you act not how you look.

    In an ideal world maybe

    Left wingers who are so scared to trample on religious sensitivities that they become apologists for Islamism. Perhaps they may hold the opinion that the West is 100% to blame, but even if they show respect to states and a culture that oppress the liberal values they all love so much. The irony is lost on them.

    Equally those on the Far Right who incite violence against all Muslims or just blame them for everything.
