Wanker watch: Warning signs that someone is a tosser

People who abuse CD (diplomatic) plates.

I used to work in Sandyford and once a week you would see a limo (high end BMWs, Mercs, even Rolls Royces) parked up, at rush hour, outside the Beacon Hospital. That's a terrible junction to pull a stunt like that, but the CD plates made them untouchable.

Also the drunk CD drivers. I knew one personally, he didn't care that it bothered me. Was kind of glad when he was called back home.

Probably been said, but people who put up inspirational quotes on Facebook. Just **** off.

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I'm out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

Why?

Because they're
a) Bandwagon jumpers
b) too middle class
c) it's too homo-erotic
d) watching 22 people kick a ball aimlessly for 90 minutes is way more fun
e) they're West Brits!!!
f) all of the above?

I just don't like the fair weather, band wagon supporters who appear out of the blue for the "world cup" :rolleyes:

And as for point d, sure rugby is just thirty lads throwing a ball aimlessly around a pitch! Basketball is ten lads throwing a ball aimlessly around a court! Formula One is a load of lads driving aimlessly around a track! That argument is ridiculous, and the logic can be applied to any sport, not just football!

Most sports don't commonly end in scoreless draws.

So all rugby fans are fair weather, bandwagon supporters?

So no one should support the ireland soccer/rugby/Olympic teams during the world cup or Olympics unless they support them in minor competitions too?

Who wudda thought?

I don't really get why the default response to criticism on rugby includes criticism of football.

It's only one of several options there but generally in my experience, people criticizing rugby are generally avid football fans who view rugby as class warfare.

People who don't understand that there is a very fine line between speaking your mind and not having any tact. Particularly those who don't get that the reason why they never make any friends is because they just can't think before speaking.

Because it's devoid of skill is my reason.

I have my own room in work, but from time to time at lunch I have to cover the facilities desk.

Why grates on me is noise, in a open office environment. The slightest thing ticks me off. Like the jackáss constantly rubbing his gimp leather shoes together.

Dialing a number on speaker phone, eating loudly. We have double doors side by side, yet people seem bewildered on how to use them. Yes two people can go through at any given time.

I'm listening to a manager squawking loudly on the phone to a friend about dresses. She can be heard all over the floor. :mad:

Seriously, some people have no idea that no-one else wants to listen to their vapid personal calls... ergo...tosspot

I don't mind people supporting Ireland in the above but it's when people who never watch the sport suddenly become experts and super fans.

The people who barely ever watch the sport and then go on about how better it is than sport x, y or z.

For example, the amount of people that became amateur boxing experts back in 2012. I watched a few fights but I didn't try and claim I knew anything aside from the basics.

Agree with you here, these experts annoy the hell out of me.

people who ask for a bit, people who don't, people who may be starving but too proud to ask, like the homeless in the street. im just saying if you've a large portion of say chicken wings in front of you, does no harm to throw someone else a piece, especially if its enough to feed 2 or 3 people.

Buying the rights to a life-saving drug and jacking up the price. Oh, and defending that practice by deifying the free market.

People who think hammering the button in the lift will have any difference.

You're in the lift and some tit gets on and presses the button for the floor he wants to go to but hits it multiple times in quick succession thinking that the more and faster he hits it will somehow speed up the lift. **** don't realise that the switch is a binary circuit. When you hit it once the lift is then programmed to stop at that floor. No further intervention will have any effect and the fucking door is timed to close after a certain period of time...usually 3 to 5 seconds. Hammering the fucking button is not going to close the doors any quicker you tool!

Same goes for buttons at pedestrian crossings. Sometime you see a wanker hammering the button thinking that the more they hit it the quicker the lights will change. It's lost on these dopes that such a thing will not happen and in fact many of these buttons at pedestrian crossings are in fact placebos, i.e. they serve no purpose at all other than to make the pedestrian think that pressing them will change the light. The junction lights at many of them are timed.

Pressing the "close door" button does.
