Those I see as the biggest cunts on the face of the planet, are those who won't use bins, instead, leaving rubbish where ever they may happen to be. A Country road I walk regularly is full of cans and full bin bags of rubbish. Doesn't hurt to hold on to it and put it in a bin.

Was thinking this just yesterday. I hate littering with a passion. We have a beautiful country, and though in the grand scheme of things littering is probably the easiest environmental issue to tackle, it still grinds my gears!

No excuse for littering. My pockets tend to be full of rubbish because I refuse to throw it on the ground.

Also, people who get married at Christmas time. Like we are not all broke enough already.

People do it if they have family who can't make it back to Ireland often, so quite understandable.

People who sit on the edge of a chair in a packed canteen and make people have to ask them to move to get past.

Put your damn arse into the seat properly, idiot.

It's like they take up twice the room that they should

Was in the Bleeding Horse not too long ago and some fella asks the barman for "two pints of AG".

The barman had no idea what the hell your man was on about.

"Two pints of Guinness", your man says in the most, 'how the hell do you not know that' type of way.

Wanker.

How did they arrive at AG for Guinness?

Edit. Oh God, it's Arthur Guinness right? Wanker.

Took me a bit to figure it out too.

Also thought someone was ordering 'Ken Prize' a few posts back lol.

Bellends the lot of them.

On the upside, later on the irritated barman will be serving you long before these cringeworthy gobshites.

DEFTLEFTHAND · 11-03-2016 06:24PM

'Pint of Art please' is another Guinness one.

My favourite one is Ken for Heineken

A very simple test....

Ask them a question. If they begin the answer with the word "so", then they are a wanker.

"Where is the bathroom in here?"
"So you go out the door and turn left"

Or

"What do you work at?"
"So I'm a volunteer"

Absolutely common Irish usage for generations. If anything it's the hatred of a fairly innocuous usage that indicates wankerism. Like much grammar naziism.

My theory is it started on Internet message boards with people initiating threads like.

'So I purchased an IPhone 6....... '

'So I bought an SUV......'

Etc etc

No way was this despicable way of talking in use for generations.

Lads rooting around in the near date beer shelf in suburban supermarkets. Looking for 12 cans of strong lager for a tenner.

Dick phelan · 11-03-2016 11:32PM

Was on the bus today, Heard some idiot going on about his rag week very loudly proclaiming all the drugs he'd taken girls he'd shifted ect, anyway worst part was when he was talking about some house party he said and i quote "We had to bounce when the po po showed up" What a bellend.

Wouldn't be my scene, hombre. More into the craft IPAs than looking for 12 cans of bargain basement gut rot.

It was just an observation.

Knew I got the whiff of lavender from somewhere and patchouli oil.

Nice bargain on Lomza in JCs which is out in Swords I believe.

Also litre cans of Baltika.

Might neck a few lather on.

Any salt of the earth wankpuffin in a high viz vest that walks on to a road and holds up the traffic while he directs someone out of a building site or the likes.

Ah here, that's only being sensible. The bargain bucket is the shhit, often get great beer for ****-all money.

I'm doing society a service by not letting that precious beer go to waste. Got a Nogne tripel the other day for a euro. 9% abv. Best euro I've ever spent.

Actually you know what, you're a wanker yourself if you have a problem with people getting bargains

retalivity · 12-03-2016 02:43PM

Is wankpuffin the word of the week? A couple of times ive seen it now.

Also, people who use words of the week.

PTH2009 · 12-03-2016 02:45PM

The guys at electric picnic who dress up as native Americans and all that ****.

I'd say they whole festival is full of **** (rich parents, back from there J1s in the US)

JakeArmitage · 12-03-2016 02:50PM

They support Liverpool FC

This one might be a niche but I know a few people on Twitter, people with barely a thousand followers (regional journalists, superstar DJs who play sets in their local pub, young wans who went on one modelling job eight years ago, pretentious twats) who have gone to the trouble of getting that blue verified tick beside their name.

That tick is designed to let Twitter users know who the famous people are and who the fake copycat accounts are and nothing more. Anyone who goes to the trouble of contacting Twitter and asking that the blue tick be put alongside their name, when they're not in any way famous, is pathetic beyond belief and are essentially flagging themselves up as a sad, needy loser instead of the hero they believe themselves to be.

I'm not going to lie, the first person I ever saw being called that term was Donald Drumpf. :pac:

As for cheap booze, you can't go wrong with Tyskie. It's usually €1.65, has an ABV of 5.5% and you can get a decent buzz from just one or two of them.

I swear they changed the recipe for Tyskie or did something to the processing about a year or two ago though. Still like the taste of it but even two or three of them and I'll have a banger of a headache the next day.
