Arse holes who act as if they know more than a highly paid soccer manager, using the current buzz word.

Especially Liverpool supporters in the pub.

"He should never have let Gerrard go, put him in the hole behind the front men and play two men as holding midfielders"

Complete ****.

This goes for the type that post on the FB page for news websites.

Experts in journalism, grammar, national security, defence and geopolitical matters and far outclass any person with a) all the information and b) years of training and experience.

This is the first I've heard of this.

I'll give up my seat for old people , pregnant women and so on.


But if some young 20 something girl gets on the bus. And I 'go out of my way' to give her my seat 'just because' she's female.

That would seem really ****in creepy to me.


There actually a lot wrong with this tbh and I could go on a huge rant.

I can only assume people who think this way were brought up with some very conservative old fashioned views.

Often ideas like this are sold by the people who do them as them being "polite, noble, honorable" etc But dig deeper into the thinking that spawns this behavior and you'll uncover a lot of unsavory views that have no place in a modern society.

Drivers that start to indicate "on" the corner...:mad:

Do they think it's some kind of release for the steering wheel or something

Ah roundabouts and their misuse. Between them and people not dipping their headlights whether coming against you or up behind you they are both my biggest pet hates on the road.

When you're turning left on a roundabout and someone heaves up next to you on the right going around but cuts off your line of vision to traffic your right. #bloodytosser

Also if you are on the right lane of a roundabout and there is somebody next to you on the left hand lane. Your bearing right and their going straight on moreless. Both go at the same time. So often they cut right into your lane midway through the roundabout - almost to take a straight line through the roundabout.
Based on my experience women are the bigget culpurits....Awaiting the backlash from the PC brigade for that comment.

Based on what I observe on the roads you'd most likely be flogging at least half the drivers in the country so. Around here at least half don't use indicators at roundabouts and worse still I have seen a couple of cases where indicators are used incorrectly. i.e. two elderly guys in particular indicating as if they are coming off the roundabout only to proceed on around...fuking lethal. now I know an indicator on is just that, i.e. an indication and you should not make a decision based on somebodys indicator but still this practice is inexcusable.


I do recall a thread on the motors forum on peoples misuse of roundabouts and the general consensus was that Galway was the worst part of the country on this issue.

And finally people who give their kids popular names and spell them in a really stupid way to make them seen more exotic than they are.

And are then deeply irritated when other people fail to pronounce or spell little Caoiaiomhie's name correctly.

Thats an exaggeration of course, but I do work with a girl who called her kid Caoimhe but proudly announced that she added a vowel to "make it unique".

No missus, that doesn't make it unique. That makes it spelled wrong.

People who use Shower Gel to wash their hair.

I've often played chicken with these sort of drivers, as a pedestrian. I'm halfway across the road, can see that the car isn't indicating but I have a feeling that they will turn. The indicator eventually comes on but I don't hurry up as they try to turn. Then they look annoyed.

Amazingly, I'm still alive!
