    Scepticism about a proven scientific discovery or intention with the phrase "we don't know what it could do". E.g. GM foods et al.

    If you don't know, vote no!

    Every time I see my family fawning and going gooey-eyed at my baby cousin I get so pissed. Why do they act so special in front of her? It pisses me off. I'm like...grow up. Then she crawls on over to me and drags her cute little pink frilly self up to my knee and I'm like 'WHO'S A PRETTY LITTLE GURL!?!?!?!?!'

    I...can't help it.

    (I have been known to call random small children on the street cúnts though. A Neurotic is witness to this.)

    you've also been witnessed [by most of C&H] wanting to bring a toddler home with you from Stephen's Green and trying such.

    The use of the word "seen" instead of "saw".
    Irish people pronouncing words like "stupid" or "student" as Americans would.
    People who are rubbish at lying, but persist on doing so all the time.
    People who join in Facebook conversations that have nothing to do with them.
    People who can never accept being wrong.
    The D4 accent.
    Arrogant people who can't praise anything other than themselves or the work of themselves.
    Scam artists such as PMD Marketing.
    Button Factory bouncers.
    Ridiculous forum rules (not talking about boards here).

    That's all for now, folks.

    I really hate it when my family judge me for not liking kids. There's nothing wrong with me just because I hate being around children; get the fuck over it and stop giving me grief about it. :mad: Also, there's nothing wrong with me just because I never want to have children. Bizarrely, I'd actually prefer having a good career where I can make money rather than having to look after screaming brats that just haemorrhage money. I know; crazy, right? :rolleyes:

    Also can't stand the way some people go ridiculously over the top when it comes to doting over children. Kids aren't all precious angels, they're mostly a by product of randy couples who forgot to buy a condom.

    Seriously, best of luck to any couple out there who wants to have kids but don't expect the whole fucking world to go absolutely head over heels just because you've brought yet another unremarkable human being into the world.

    EDIT: Yeah, basically what Ultimate Chin said earlier. Babies =/= special. Get over it.

    Just to justify my post, I don't really have the same mindset as a lot of the people I know, including my friends so I regularly get very angry (on the inside) at them for their comments/actions. Some of theses include:

    Picking up items in shops, changing their minds and just throwing them down where they are. It takes about 30 seconds to go back to where you got them!

    Telling me I'm not Irish because I don't like Jedward or Dustin the Turkey

    Saying they look crap and then getting mad at me because I'm not bothered to boost their self esteem

    Saying they're fat when they're a size 8. If you actually were fat you would be to ashamed to bring it up - believe me!

    Going on and on about their nights out when I wasn't even invited

    There's many more but I'm starting to sound like a whiny b1tch so I'll stop. :o

    I was browsing through my old video games (ahh, nostalgia) and found one that had a weird version of that message:

    Bananas! I'm terrified of them! My friends think it's hilarious, but I literally cannot be in the same room as an unpeeled banana *shudders*.

    My twin brother loves them though and takes wry pleasure in making banana sandwiches right next to me. The sight and smell of them make me want to vomit!

    I also hate flies - get out of the kitchen you disgusting, disease-carrying creatures!

    Passive aggresive behaviour on Facebook,texting,msn etc is just pathetic and it makes me laugh when I see it tbh. I know someone who does it a lot.

    Most infuriating thing I've noticed at concerts is people talking during the songs... Happened at the Modest Mouse concert I attended last year, seemed a large chunk of the crowd were there just for the song 'Float On'. In the end the band didn't play it. :P

    There was one in my room this morning, it woke me up with the fecking noise of it. :mad: I was fit to kill after a night of three nightmares involving being buried alive. Not a restful night of sleep.


    I hate it when people touch things that don't belong to them. Makes my blood boil.

    People who get all pissy with learner drivers. Ok, I'd understand if I was conked in the road for 5 minutes, but OMG I'm sorry that it took me a whole 3 seconds to get away from the traffic lights, OH NOES!! :rolleyes:

    This is one of my serious hates as well! Everybody was a learner driver at one stage! How the hell is beeping your horn going to help? If anything, it will make it worse. It's like shouting at a baby for falling over when learning to walk! I passed my test 3 months ago but I still get treated like that at times. I had a momentary lapse in cocentration in waiting at traffic lights and didn't notice they were green until 2 seconds late. That didn't stop all the BMW-drivers who like to take-off like greyhounds out of a cage from beeping!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Drivers who refuse to drive even remotely aggressively on the road (learners are excused).

    As it, unwilling to overtake no matter how slow the car is. Allowing other cars to bully their way in front of you. Etc. Just grow some balls.

    This is not directed at you Ninja, but your post made me think of this: Farmers that drive antique tractors that have no lights, break lights, indicators etc on them, but expect the person driving behind them to have some sort of psychic powers that will let them know where and when the tractor driver will decide to make a turn off the road.

    Any farmers I've seen driving the very old ones without lights (which rarely if ever happens) have used their hands to signal.

    I suppose if someone is unaware of this it might confuse them though.

    Those stupid bloody Always "Have a happy period!" ads make me want to punch someone. Hard. Who the fuck has a happy period!? It really pisses me off because the pain is so unbearable, and then I see a stupid ad with some smug eejit saying "Have a happy period!" and it just.... UGHRGH. :mad: Wanna make me happy? Fix this stupid disease then! And y'know, even then, it would still be shít. Not happy. FECK OFF WITH YOUR PATHETIC MARKETING CAMPAIGN. YOU SUCK.

    Sorry. It just really gets to me. :o

    People who bash off you especially in pennys and just keep walking or buggies in pennys.. and the people controling them expect you to make way for them even after they attack your ankles with their god damn buggy. I swear there should be a rule about what time buggies are allowed into penneys! ARGHH!

    I too have major issues with buggies. When walking on footpaths, some people with buggies seem to think that they can barge through the crowd and everybody should just move. I generally am quite curtious, and would step aside, but some people dont even give you the chance. They bulldoze through, and before you even get time to think, theyve driven over your toes!
    And then, when you're driving through down, its worse. They think its their god given right to walk across the street, regardless of traffic. Recently saw a lady who pushed the buggy off the footpath, right out in front of an on-coming van. The driver had to slam on the breaks and only missed it by inches. Dont understand the carelessness of some people!
    AAAAGGGGGHHHHHHH........

    I was having a driving lesson when we came across a woman on the footpath talking to friends, leaning on a buggy which was sitting well out on the road. It was ridiculous! She was looking the complete opposite direction, completely ignoring the child. It was quite a narrow road and there was traffic coming from the other direction so I had to sit there til she copped on she was holding up half the road :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    I hate people who just run across the road with buggies. Seriously cop the fúck on, it's bad enough running across the road alone, but with a child in a buggy is just plain stupid. As much as you like to think, drivers can't always see you, especially if it's dark and you're wearing all dark clothes.

    I hate people who openly stare at you when you're out and about. Like today I was in Dundrum and the amount of people who stare you up and down as plain as day is crazy. Usually I just shout loudly in their direction about what it a shame it is that they don't have their camera with them but today these morons pissed me off so much I couldn't even be bothered with this. Like if you're going to stare at somebody do it subtly, it's not that hard - I do it all the time, just please don't make it so fecking obvious. So I guess I'm giving out about people staring in an obvious fashion rather than staring in general. :confused:

    As of today I'm paranoid. Although I think a really bad pair of shorts might have done it, in hindsight I probably looked 19 and pregnant. Not wearing them again. :(

    Also attention seeking Facebook statuses are driving me mad. 'Y do ppl alwayz let meh dwn?? </3' This person is 21. And all her silly friends ask what's wrong and then she says 'aww cant tlk bout it ere chik'. Why write it up then in the first place you stupid attention seeker you. I would hide them from my homepage but they're entertaining at the same time. But still grrrrrr.

    this thread (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055961799) in AH reminded me of one thing I hate; anyone who pronounces the word scone as "scon" deserves to choke to death on a SCONE. It rhymes with bone, cone, lone etc. It does NOT rhyme with gone or on.

    STOP SAYING SCON :mad::mad::mad:
