Wait til yer older and get a stiff neck yerself and then see do you still feel the same way - The youth of today!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :roll:
Wasn't referring to the elders of this world OS. More the twenty somethings and students who have scarves knotted around their neck whilst wearing a t-shirt in a crowded pub.

Also, people who only start looking for their bank card or bus/train fare when they get to the top of the queue. It's usually women (there...I said it) and it drives me f*cking bananas!!
Ah yes.
Umm, perhaps I'd better get my money out now and think about paying the fare.
After all all these nice people, in the queue behind me, are in a hurry, oh silly me!!!!!
I wonder would they mind, if I get rid of all this change in my purse.

A good choice.

Also, whoever in RTE thinks she deserved a show of her own. Or the person that chooses so many of the shocking programmes that are put on our screens. Seriously....do they actually think these will be a success? Morons.
Agreed! Painfully, painfully unfunny. Once again shows that in a country brimming with comedic talent, RTE has the remarkable ability to pick out the worst, most talentless people and give them their own shows.

"The Emergency" is also painfully dire. It's almost like a "high brow" version of the shite they do on the likes of FM104 and 98FM in the mornings.

It's Friiiiiiiday

So mine today is

when you get off a DART or whatever and someone is really, really desperate to get in front of you and cuts across you. Only to slow down as soon as they've done it so you nearly go into the back of them.

Junkies! They're like human pigeons and one of them is always on crutches!

Men with satchels...emh lads it's a purse FFS!

Pedestrians who run out in front of you when the bloody crossing is ten metres away!

Do the rants have to be saved for Friday?

Pathetic people who grieve when celebrities die, despite not being friends with them. Also known as the “Diana Disease”. Extreme cases are called the “Liverpool Strain”.

Preferably yes. If the rant is stored over a period of time, it helps make you more bitter and twisted.

People who do this in cars (usually blokes)..... make a made dash to pull out of an adjoining junction to get in front of you only to drive slower than you were going. :evil:

This one does my NUT & it's ALWAYS women & they ALWAYS have to root around in the oversized handbang looking for the fare! :evil: :evil:

Well of course it’s men who do that. Everybody knows that a woman won’t even pull out into a junction and will sit there all day waiting to inch out while a mile of traffic builds up behind her.

Well, in fairness to women, that's not the stupidest thing I've seen a motorist doing.

Where the Naas road intersects with the Long mile / Nanger road (I think its called) there is inbound, outbound and the luas line. Some genius decided he was gonna run a red light but only made it half way across and was stuck on the luas line. Sure enough, a luas came along and what does he do? Tried to reverse back out into oncoming traffic.

So there you go. All sorts of gobshites on our roads... men and women.

The use of "do-gooder" as an insult. In what world is looking to help people worthy of scorn? A deeply, deeply screwed one I reckon.
