people who comment on fb with a snide remark then trying to hide it with a "ha ha" at the end
tossers

People who cross the street or the road in front of me while I'm driving, and they don't even look to see if there is a car coming. It happened three times last night while I was driving down the main street in local town.

People with trollies in the self service area of a supermarket. I really can't properly convey how much I hate these people.

Honestly I think egotism is at epidemic levels the days, and its enabled by social media etc.

Selfies have nothing on sitting still for hours and hours while some poor ****er paints your portrait, bending the reality to flatter you whilst retaining some resemblance lest he be hanged for insulting you.

Egotism is nothing new and it is not an epidemic.

People who:

Burden their children with double barrell names.
Send their kids to gaelscoils.
Allow their children misbehave in public.
Drive SUV's for no good reason (fine if you tow a yacht or go off-road regularly, if you only use it for the school-run, you're worse than Hitler).
Complain about a lack of [minority] in STEM when they hold a BA in the liberal arts / sociology etc.
Fail to understand that Feminism in the western world stopped being about equal rights decades ago.
Baptise and Confirm their kids, live their life entirely at odds with the teachings of Catholicism and get upset when questioned about it.
Vote for Fianna Fail or Sinn Fein.

is there something wrong with people that post all day about themselves on facebook, like their entire day? is it a symptom of anything?

If this thread has thought me anything, it's that I'm a wanker!

Any Irish person who ....
Says "High Street" instead of "Main Street"
Says "The Garda" when they mean "The Gardaí". Which f**king Garda ???
Says "Euros" instead of "Euro"

Guilty of the craft beer wankerness myself

i HATE people (always GAA pundits) that pluralise individuals....ie "oh if they're to win today they'll need their shefflins and their careys and their codys and their walshes" NO THEY ****IN DON'T they only need one of each!

narcissistic tendencies at the very least.

Self obsessed ego maniacs at the other end if the scale.

You will the find the people whose lives are so incredibly boring they post every little detail about what they do just to show other people that they have a social life.

To add my own piece the one thing that drives me insane is a lack of basic manners.

I was outside having a cigarette outside work a couple of weeks back and some guy who was on the phone came over to me and started making hand gestures looking for a lighter while still carrying on his conversation, I stared at him while I continued my smoke until he asked me for the lighter, id say it was a maximum of 20 seconds but it felt like minutes and I just wanted to punch his face repeatedly.

murpho999 · 03-09-2015 04:09PM

My list in no particular order

People with bad manners
People who litter, drives me mad.
People who wear full football kits including shorts and socks (when not playing)
Those that put their feet on the seats in public transport.
Middle aged men that dye their hair.
People who go on about Top Gear
Those that can't grasp the difference between "you're" and "your"
Drug users
People who slag you for whatever type of phone they have and think they are superior for having an 'Android' phone. Buying a phone does not make you better.
People who don't get that making vertical videos on their phones is wrong
Those that constantly sit in the middle lane on the M50 and M7 thinking that the left lane is a 'slow lane'.
Those who wear track suit bottoms of any type as normal attire.

Just discovered a facebook friend was lying about having lymphoma for the last three years. I didn't send him anything, but other facebook friends were suckered in. People sent money and food parcels, one person even offered to pay to have his car fixed. He never mentioned he drove an Audi A7. One person guaranteed a £10,000 loan.

So confidence tricksters who lie about cancer.

Edit: His car never broke down. He said it broke down, but in reality he was banned for drink driving. We learned that from the local press in his town.

Only a grade A sociopath would lie about something like that.

Cold War Kid · 03-09-2015 05:32PM

Yes, you would want to be a particularly vile person to lie that you have cancer.

This one confuses me a bit though, as it's An Garda Siochána in reference to the entire force - so in that context "garda" actually IS plural.

Saying "euros" instead of "euro" makes someone a wanker? Jeez!

People who correct another person's grammar, manners etc socially. Today I had an experience with a professional person who obviously didn't think I was gazing adoringly enough in his direction during a very casual conversation. He was telling me something to which I replied "yes,I know, I heard that earlier", to which he said "you know what exactly???" and made me repeat what he'd just said to ascertain that I had indeed heard him correctly. I could tell he was quite irritated I was able to repeat it verbatim and he didn't get a chance to correct me.

I could be at either end of that conversation!

Once, the sister's bf shot a pheasant and gave us it's breast, supposedly as a gift. For all I know there could have been bullet fragments in it. It was quite insensitive of him. For all he knew we could have been a family of animal rights activists. My Father's only concern, as always, was to be sure not to offend him, and therefore accepted the gift.

He delivered a sack of spuds another time. I think they were left over... something to do with his job.

Gee, it's one thing to be showering us with these so-called gifts, but I think sometimes there can be something inappropriate about giving food as gifts. Pissed me off.

Hunzo ****

People who completely change personality depending on who's around
People discussing premier league and describing themselves as "we" (say united) will beat"ye" (Liverpool) or call each other"scouse scum " etc when both parties have no real connection to their chosen team bar they decided to support them and maybe had an odd trip there to watch a match.Ridiculous wanker alert!
And I say that as someone who does have an interest in the EPL
