Lads that wear a beany cap with a t-shirt in warm weather, saw a guy doing it yesterday in town while the sun was out and quite warm out, no excuse to wear a beany hat till at least there's frost around!

Scarf guys that order those really time consuming coffees in coffee shops when I'm standing behind them and all I want is a cup of tea to go.

When I first meet someone and the first question they'll ask, in a nosey tone "What do you do?" why is everybody so concerned about what everybody does nowadays? I can find hundreds of other things to talk about and open a conversation with other than what I do, often asked by some boring hipster with corduroy pants and trendy designer glasses, likely to be fishing for some sort of gratification because he probably makes more money than I do.

DJs in bars that actually make money off DJ'ing when all they bring is a laptop and no other gear.

Gym guys that post status's about their progress and regularly checking in with where they are jogging/running and how long they jogged for and wearing all this techy gear, (JUST DO YOUR WORKOUT AND STOP LOOKING AT YOUR FANCY WATCH!!)

Hipsters that say the word "Random" all the time. Using it mostly as this pathetic attempt to seem quirky, outside the box and interesting. Please f**k off!

Single mammies that smuggle partners into their house and still claiming lone parents and R/A.

Dopes that drive while texting, I see it everywhere and there is never a Guard that see's it.

People that smoke and drink to high heaven and complain "I can't put food on the table for my children" priorities ffs!! I hate these people!

This comes across a bit angry and tinged with jealousy for the most part. What's wrong with the DJ thing? And the boring hipster comment is just lazy generalizing. Mean, in fact. Some people just kick off conversation to ask what one does. No big deal. If you're embarrassed or conscious about what you do, that's your problem tbh.

Signs of a tosser, people who post nonsense about how women deserve proper man who treats her right, do men not deserve this aswell
Sinn Fein supporters some of the stuff put up on facebook is just pure rubbish, plucking facts from the air

Members of the new "Land League".
Members of irish newly formed political parties who give inane interviews on RTE current radio.
Former government ministers like the 2 boy'os who give inane and frankly utterly unedifying interviews on "This Week" program today Sunday 6 September on RTE radio.

Pissed off man, wanted go to the gym but am waiting around the house all day. F**king nuisance. I hate being the somewhat tech savvy person in the area. I don't like Apple though, last time I set that phone up their website had a load of problems, password problems, I was entering the right one, I knew because I wrote it all down. Drove me bezerk, get your kid an average android. They can either like it or lump it. They are far easier to get the hang of and set up

Wouldn't have an iphone in a million years!

Given that it took me 30 seconds to get an iPhone up and running first time, not sure how tech savvy you are.

People who encourage mass immigration whilst we are in the middle of a housing crisis and can't even look after our own

People who say stuff like above, what classes someone as our own?
How about we grade giving houses to those who have contribute to the country that they say is there own.

I work in the homeless section, and I have collegues who lived in direct provision, and went through that whole system, and who now work in the homeless sector, and are giving back to society. To me they are now more of 'our own' than some one who has never worked a day to help some one else, let alone paid a days tax and expect to be given a house.

People who use Spanish slurs to get around the boards list of polite terms, I've seen maricon (******) being used more than once this week. Not cool, not cool at all.

Just cut it out for Christ sake, you're not cool and I'm on to you.

Anyone who dresses like Conor McGregor. Bonus points if they have the same hairstyle.

I had his exact haircut and beard as him before he had it, once he got it I had to shave and get a haircut because half the country started walking around with it.

Not the top knot, but the scruffy hair/beard. My hair just grew like that and so did my beard, it was out of laziness rather than style.

People who use 'liberal' as an insult, they also usually whinge about SJWs and 'PC brigades'. ****in' tards.

And people who use conservative as an insult...

Yeah, and Liverpool fans. All other fans are reasonable enough, but those two...

For me it is Irish people who "support" British soccer teams , yes I am including Celtic in it. It is really annoying that people get sucked into the bandwagon (of who ever is top team aged 10 ) then claim a connection...

People who plan to vote for Identity Ireland.

There was a fellow in the galway crowd today with the auld floppy hair and the beard, he was brushing his poser hair do back with his hand.

All these reasons are funny!

Do people realise they are been **** when they behave like this and if they don't then are they to blame?

Like if they don't know their been ****, is it their fault!?

When someone doesn't know the difference between "been" and "being". Same goes for their they're there your and you're.

haha I'm a lazy guy when it comes to haircuts, who spends 90% of his day playing/working with IT. Sexiness is not really my priority.

There are some West Ham United/Reading fans out there, but you're right: for the most part, you can guess the age of a soccer fan depending on who he or she supports. It was all Liverpool/Everton fans when I was in school (80s), I never met a Chelsea fan until 2004/2005.

Men with scruffy hair/beards can be sexy as hell!

Pains in the neck who keep going on about the great bargains they can always find and that anybody who pays a regular price for something, has been 'done'. They interpret the world in terms of what price they paid for something and how clever they have been to get everything for half nothing. They always get 'great deals' on holidays, trading in their cars, tradesmen doing jobs in their homes and nobody, nobody ever gets one over on them.... Insufferable tossers altogether.

Saw it first in "Air America" movie with Mel Gibson. Only adult tossers though. Like Mel.

I heard someone recently say "I'm a bit of an eccentric" in a smug voice with a smug smile, in the context of explaining how he was not like other people. Wanker.
