Nonsense. They're just ****.

It's anything but nonsense.

'I didn't say hello to your child who is standing beside you and said hello to me because I was afraid of being considered a paedophile' is complete nonsense.

But that's the way society has gone unfortunately.

someone who has a big designer beard nowadays, i had to shave my beard to a goatee as these posers have ruined beards forever. i support beards as a cultural symbol of gaelic identity but not when they are used as a fashion statement being trimmed and pampered like a pet.

Oh my God everyone makes me out to be such a dick for saying stuff like this.

"Hey, I'm doing a skydive/obstacle course/hike etc... for charity, will you sponsor me.

"fuck off, that sounds amazing, why dont you pay me to do it and I'll give the surplus to charity. Or at least do something not thoroughly enjoyable. here's a fiver for charity if you eat dog shit."

It was absolutely rampant a few years ago but (thankfully) seems to be dying out now. I remember there used to be loads of adverts on Today FM along the lines of "Fancy trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas for charity?" or "Could you spend 3 weeks walking with elephants in India for a good cause?" It really devalued the idea of a sponsored event to the extent that I only give directly to charities now.

Also, you are correct: it is extremely non-PC to call people out on it.

If you're a man it would be wise too. Not unless you know them

I think i know why they don't say anything back to the child. With all the stories about child abuse we keep hearing about daily, a person is nearly afraid to nearly even look at a kid let alone say anything to them.

If a little child says hello to you then greet him back with a " 'Story, Bud!"

The kid will be delighted being spoken to like a "street dude"

Young men in those hideous blue suits. I spotted a right marvel outside the train station this morning. He was decked out in the aforementioned suit complete with shoes the colour of s***. I'm guessing it was a purchase from suits-r-us. Oh! And of course he had the required man bun to 'finish' the look.

He's female companion was an interesting mix of skanger/hipster. Yellow hair, flip flops, oversized shirt, skinny jeans, orange skin.

I felt smug. Resplendent. Like a young Helena Bonham carter.

That gombeen Conor McGregor is to blame for all this.

If you shave your beard because beards are popular you're still letting fashion decide for you.

People that use 'He's' in place of 'His'

People that blindly follow fashion as a means to be 'cool' or whatever, It's pretty much a weakness of character.

It's the whole 'Sure, I don't have any original thoughts about to wear, I'll just follow the herd. And listen to what everyone else listens to. And watch what everyone else watched'

Superdry jackets, I mean, what the fcuk is up with that?

I have a superdry jacket, it's warm and has been extremely durable. Not everyone shops based on brand.

Adding 'when people go out of their way to criticise something popular not based on a lack of merit, but simply BECAUSE it is popular' to the list.

I remember being in a chipper after a few pints and there was a bunch of 5 blokes, seemed like workmates, and every single one of them had a Superdry jacket on.

I'm sure they were all **** wearing superjackets, just pointing out that not everyone wearing a superdry jacket is wearing it because they're a wanker and it's a superdry jacket.
