I can't stand...

+1 to that.
Stupid t shirts that lads wear now with baggy v-necks down to their belly, skinny jeans with boots over the top. Looks fucking ridiculous.

I swear fashion designers just sit there, coming up with retarded stuff, and then laughing at all the morons who flock to the shops to buy it all, just because some magazine or celebrity says so.

Hey! i wear V necks and boots!! hahaha! Just jealous you cant pull it off isnt it

Disrespectful/cheeky children. It drives me mental when a young child gets smart/cheeky with you. Like asking them to stop kicking a ball against the gate, walking your walls, running through your garden and standing on your flowers.

All of those things are what the cheeky sh**s do on my road and when I go out to ask them to stop/move on I get a smart/cheeky reply. Firstly I am angered by the lack of respect to an elder and secondly I would love to clatter them across the head for the disrespect

Trolls. And basically the whole Troll culture.
The meme's are fine and generally good for a laugh but seriously the whole need to "troll" constantly gets on my tits

May seem hypocritical from someone with a trollface avatar but still

Completely agree. Some right little nutters around my area that'll probably grow up to be rapists or murderers. I can already tell from their eyes. There's nothing there - dead and shallow. They're the devil's children I tells you, the devil's....

The area I used to live in before I moved to my current home was hell. Literally. When tourists come to Dublin they're warned not to go near the place.

I look pretty intimidating so I don't get hassled but I know I can't fluke it forever. Its one of the reasons I'm taking up a martial art in the autumn (not to beat up kids of course). I can throw punches against one guy and that's fine but against a group of people I'd get done.

Coincidentally, that has stopped since you moved away....

Just do a primal scream while getting into a martial arts stance then............... RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though. Whenever I meet new people etc and I say where I was originally from they are shocked. Saying they would have never guessed.

@ Gav - You've been watching too many Jim Carrey movies .

[G7SEV]

Never!!!!

I actually have been meaning to watch The Mask and both Ace Ventura's as they're sitting there still in the plastic.
Anyway we're way off topic in here....... em........ I can't stand........ when I have had too much to drink

Spelling...and grammar

Now these are not the things that I hate, of course. It's the blatant disregard of them, that drives me around the twist.

Living in a world full of texts, forums and the like has clearly made people extremely lazy from a linguistic point of view. Although, with regards to texts, I no longer get the need to use text speak. A text costs 9c (free, in some cases) are you that bloody cheap or in that much of a rush?

All that I see on the internet now is "teh", "We was" etc and so forth. One of the worst offences is the word "boi" which I've seen on a few sites. That's not quicker to write. In fact, there are no advantages to writing the word "boi", unless you are so incredibly lazy that you can't move your index finger slightly over an inch to the "y" key.

I'm no grammar Nazi. I won't moan at people for misspelling but it is something that irks me. I just don't get how, in most cases, people can look at a post with several misspelled words and click submit, tweet or whatever it is

Just so it's clear, I've no problems with acronyms like "imo" or "IIRC". They're acronyms, they serve their purpose

Just been on twitter, which is what compelled me to go on this rant, and the amount of people who are just so blasé about spelling is actually infuriating

I know I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill but It annoys me profusely.

Finally, got out all that irritation

Begin searching for spelling and grammatical errors in this post...NOW! There's bound to be one or two in there somewhere

[Peruzzi]

I have to say I agree 100% mate. I cant decide if its laziness, or stupidity. If it is laziness, it makes you look stupid!

One of the things that really grates me is, and I see it on Facebook a lot, is the "could have" "could of" thing.

With that one, its, are you lazy and cant be bothered typing 2 more letters, or are you stupid and you think that its correct, because thats kind of how it sounds in speech?

Glad I'm not the only one

The absolute abortion that is the PS3's internet browser. Got the following message today while on PESFan

Internet Browser closed due to an unforeseen error

No, the unforeseen error is putting the worst sodding browser in history into a console that has cost me some €900 by having to buy 2 of them this generation. Get it sorted Sony FFS! The consoles 5 years old and we still have the piece of crap browser

People in TV shows (mostly real-life shows) such as The Apprentice, etc., who hold their phones in that weird way when talking.



Feck off.

I've seen people doing this on the street. Sad bastards

Another one is the act of covering your mouth while you talk on the phone

....Another one is the act of covering your mouth while you talk on the phone

What's that meant to achieve?

To avoid others smelling the bullshit they are spewing?

I'd imagine it's one of two things. To stop people hearing them talking about their herpes or to cut out background noise. Either reason is ridiculous
