Wanker watch: Warning signs that someone is a tosser

nyarlothothep · 04-09-2015 11:56AM

Drivers that angrily wave you on when you decide not to avail of the free pass they're giving you if the road is busy. Eh, no I consider the situation too dangerous to make a move, p1ss of and leave me alone. Actually for that matter, anyone who attempts to break me out of my zone when driving, I refuse to look at or acknowledge anyone. I'm a really good driver too. Also swing drivers, knobheads.

[rant]People that ask you for help with something, and then when you go out of your way out of the kindness of your heart, and spend a good hour doing them up an SQL script and a really easy to use excel template to reduce their manual labour from an hour a day to 5 minutes a day and then they just say 'it looks complicated, I'll just do it my own way' without even listening to you when you're explaining how it works

**** you, try using your brain for a few minutes, you might learn something [/rant]

You have to stop at a crossing. it's a fine if y don't in other countries. So I'm fairly sure the same in Ireland.
There is a fairly significant number of women that shove their lil darlings in a pram out onto the road when traffic is coming. It's a pity these cows aren't fined.
Part of me is wondering are they doing it for the insurance claim.

These are the same women who drive around in people-carriers they think are built like German Panzers and if somebody crashes into them because of their crazy driving their precious people-carrier wont' even get a scratch

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 fucking loathe when people say "Euro" instead of the plural "Euros". It sounds retarded. Some gushing idiot on the radio or tv announcing prices ...."Summer saver discount fares to all destinations. Price start at just 29 Euro"

Sounds absurd. When the pound was the currency you said "4 pounds, 27 pounds", whatever. A few dopes in Ireland would say "Jaysus, Francie, dat only cost tree pound" Did Irish people also say "5 Franc", "1000 peseta", "50 deutschmark"??

It's 1 fucking euro or two/three/four euros.

It's because Euro is used as both singular and plural in EU legislation.

The official usage is Euro/Euro.

Fail!! plural of Euro is Euro and plural of Cent is Cent

The English Style Guide of the European Commission Translation Service states:

12.12 … Guidelines on the use of the euro, issued via the Secretariat-General, state that the plurals of both ‘euro’ and ‘cent’ are to be written without ‘s’ in English. Do this when amending or referring to legal texts that themselves observe this rule.

It's says they have got tattoos, dreadlocks and piercings.
The biggest pr*ck in the world could have them or so could the soundest person in the world.

Well looking at a person who has no piercings, tattoos and has a "normal" hairstyle...you can't tell much about them. You couldn't for example tell what job they had.

Contrast this with the gent sporting dreadlocks, piercings and tattoos. You could tell a little bit more about him purely by knowing that there are certain jobs that he definitely would not have. You can be pretty certain he is not a concierge at a swanky hotel and most likely not a flight attendant for a national carrier. They have to wear short sleeved shirts as well.

Does it matter that much when it comes to informal conversation. I can't say I ever thought 'Wanker' when someone said could they have the loan of fifty euros. Well, I have. But that was because they were looking for money of me not because of their incorrect use of the plural in relation to the word 'euro'.

Parents who think their children have the coolest names and go out of their way to let you know that..... I heard a mother calling her son " come here Brooklyn " in a busy supermarket yesterday in a loud voice so everyone could hear her...... Brooklyn was about 6 feet away at the time....

I can't stand parents in fast food outlets asking their obese kids what do the want for dinner!!

Ahhh bollocks. That's just because you now have a common entity that crosses uncommon grammar zones so the rules for plural will differ. The Dutch say "een euro" (one euro).....but also "twee euros". The Krauts do the same.

The Irish say euro for plural not because of any adherence to some legal stipulation but because the yokels used to say "two pound eighty" instead of "two pounds eighty" and that crappy post-gaeilge habit has infected the pluralisation of "euro" as well

Thse "Baby on board" signs are bad enough but what really screams "W*NKER" is the ones that have "Aoife/Ciara/Fiachra/Rónán on board"

Or "Little red devil on Board"

Boring username · 04-09-2015 05:05PM

Someone pointed this out to me about 2 years ago, and I've yet to see them proven wrong:

A woman in an SUV/4x4 will never, EVER let you out if you are waiting in traffic. Ever.

I never understand these 'Baby on board' signs.

Today at the gym, 2 lads had dumbells all around their bench. About 5 different sets so 10 in total. You absolute ****!!!

People who don't re rack their weights. I hate you!
