    That sounds like a contradiction.

    C. People who take pics of themselves in front of the mirror.

    Worse for me, people at a gig who film the whole thing on their camera phone. Probably the best way to experience music, and they have to capture it in bad picture and sound quality to prove to themselves and their social network that they were there.

    The Facebook habit I don't get is sharing photos (generally of something a bit silly like a minion or a silhouette of people holding hands) saying "share this if you're sister is "X"!" Or "share this with that one friend who always needs oxygen to live lol"

    Someone that posts nonsense posts about being sharp as marbles on after hours forum ;-)

    Oh would you GTFO with your predictably pathetic attempt at humour.

    Really p*sses me off with the obvious "ironic" responses that somehow seem to imitate the infinite other obvious "ironic" responses.

    You got lucky by being the 2nd post. Now try harder!!!!!

    Most crushing thing I ever saw was a couple who took turns filming/photographing a gig with their iPad (not even a little phone, but an iPad!) and uploading the pictures before the gig had ended!!!

    People who went to the "college of life".

    People who get your/you're, there/their/they're and lose/loose mixed up.

    People who like Conor McGregor.

    People who participate in online petitions.

    Generally people who appear very selfish and completely lack empathy. I picture their mind like a tunnel vision, they can only see their own needs.

    It looks like I'm saying it's a social behaviour, but it's not, it's just the symptom of a blunt edge, imo.

    (I'm just not witty and funny enough for AH, getting back in my box).

    People who post pictures of their food/drinks on Facebook.

    How does this indicate lack of intelligence?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭Tarzana2


    tea break gives away a lot- gossip mag discussion, or tabloid headline level political discourse.

    I used to work in a lab full of PhD candidates who were obsessed with celebrities. Unintelligent? Hardly.

    Yeah, I'd agree with the horoscope people... Obvious morons.

    A few times I've seen on a Facebook someone ask others to recommend a good medium or psychic, followed by people falling over themselves recommending people and vouching for how accurate they are... Again, pretty obvious morons.

    And I hate falling into the trap of atheists being smug and condescending, but I can't help thinking anyone who believes in God or other higher beings are a bit thick.

    People who engage in black-or-white thinking, it's either right or wrong, good or bad, fat people are lazy, all women are bad drivers type of thing.

    Usually also combined with an unwavering sense of arrogance and an absolute inability to take other points of view onboard. Incapable of learning.

    Anyone going on about vaccines causing autism.

    A. If you are having such a great time, why aren't you just enjoying the time instead of fannying around with your phone.

    B. You are telling your 756 Facebook "friends" your house is empty, dont come crying to me when your gaff gets burgled!

    If you dont like it why are you subscribed to their feed?

    Liking or even believing in horoscopes is no indicator of intelligence. However, your contempt for them shows that you don't just like horoscopes, you don't like poeple who do like horoscopes. You don't like the people, and to me thats just sad.

    My flatmate turned around to me the other day while we were scrolling through netflix looking for something to watch and said "I don't want to watch a movie that I have to think about"

    .... :(


    He's 28 and almost exclusively watches cartoons and children's movies.

    I disagree. If a person believes that the positioning and alignment of stars and planets has any effect on their day to day life then that person is, in my opinion, stupid.
    And yes, I don't generally like a lot of people, and that may indeed be sad. It doesn't however, negate my point.
