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 nowadays have no comprehension of what Ireland went through during the famine. America could have easily told us to F** off. ...but they didn't

America had plenty of uses for the Irish

cheap labour and cannon fodder would be two examples

Grown adults with colouring books. Where the f did this latest hipster trend appear from?

Is this a reference to something? Or are you saying that grown men are literally carrying around colouring books?!

EDIT: I googled it. How does this exist? 'Moved to NYC to start a fledgling greetings card company. Peddling cards to independent stores-. Yeah - forgot to mention that you had daddy's credit card.

Some people need to grow the fcuk up. :rolleyes:

Colouring books for adults have been topping the bestseller lists on Amazon for the last while.

I can't even fathom how or why someone over the age of 6 would want a colouring book.

If I knew anyone with a colouring book I'd lose all respect for them. This trend makes me want to cringe, rage and vomit and at the same time.

I thought the Penny Farthings and those little minature man pony tail things were the worst of it. :eek:

Your link is to something about the Hannibal TV series, which has a spoiler (I think!).

I agree with much of what's been posted already. Especially the man bun, Conor McGregor haircut brigade. There is no doubt that you guys are top wanker spotters.

I would like to add people who refer to healthy eating as eating 'clean'. They are militant about their diet and look down their noses at all those who enjoy a pizza/big mac/whatever. Oh and the well travelled shower who like to go on and on about it at every opportunity. It really is wonderful that you have scaled the heights of Machu Pichu but it doesn't make you a better or more interesting person and the rest of us don't give a f***.

Last sentenced of this is classic:)

If you want to spot who the biggest wanker is at any party, just look for the guy who brought his guitar.

3. Any of that corporate speak i.e. "going forward, we'll touch base, from the get-go, out of the ballpark etc".

"By Way of Update" - "Quick Win" - "Going Forward" - "Lets catch up on that" - using 'same' when referring to the subject you just spoke about, ie "i have been working on the report, see attached same" - "Low hanging fruit" - " do you have enough capacity, or bandwidth to do this task? "

just a few that drive me bananas, of which i swore i would never use any of them.. but here i am....

People in traffic who roll up right behind the car in front, often into a yellow box, rather than let you out from a side road, and then stare studiously ahead as you bip the horn to tell them they are a wanker. ****. Whether they have seen you or not, pure ****.

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...

Well some people like football to the extent that they would like to watch it every week. Now the best way to do this is to watch/follow English football since you will be able to see a game every saturday/sunday if you are lucky enough to have a subscription to a TV network that shows the games. If not you can still get your fix via Saturday morning's Football Focus (ok it's more of a chat show than anything but they do keep you updated on the latest news, etc.) and Match of the Day on Saturday night.

The League of Ireland doesn't really have any such coverage. You can really only watch games if you go to them and personally I think Friday night is a crap time to have a match played.

I fear someone may take this post as a sign that I'm a tosser, but there is an LoI highlights show on Monday nights called Soccer Republic.

I went here one weekend. I'd tried to go before but the weather went to pot when I landed so I gave it another go recently. I get down to the seaside ready to admire the lovely cliffs only to find it swarmed with selfie stick carrying idiots all over the place.

OK...fair enough. I didn't know they recorded every game.

People who don't pick up after their dog that has just taken a giant sh1t in the middle of the footpath/park/beach.

But a million times worse are the w@nkers that actually do pick it up and then proceed to throw it somewhere else as litter.

What the fúck was the point of picking it up in the first place? - now the sh1t is inside a plastic bag that will take forever to bio-degrade

A quick note to all:

This thread is about traits in people that are a tell tail sign they're ****.

It is NOT a thread about traits you don't like in people.

Let's not lose the run of ourselves, or it'll have to be closed!

"How's it going, Denzer?"

"Not too bad. I was out with Jimbo at the weekend and we met Gonzo"

How bloody old are ye? 12?
