    What's with all the hate for people wearing pyjamas?

    If that's how they want to dress, so be it. I see a lot of people wearing stuff I wouldn't wear but I couldn't give a crap about them 'cause it's not me.

    The people getting their knickers in a knot about what other people wear are just control freaks.

    It's not hygienic. If a woman was sitting in a café with pyjamas on she may spread infection. No underwear and feces or urine stained onto pyjamas and the risk of that being spread onto other members of the public.

    In my experience, I've never known a girl who doesn't wear knickers under her pyjamas and I'd find it odd that some do.

    Also, just because someone isn't wearing pyjamas doesn't mean they don't have the same kind of stains on their clothes.

    I reckon it has absolutely nothing to do with that. Going around wearing your pyjamas all day is a general fück you to society. The person is basically saying to everybody that they don't have to bother their holes getting dressed like normal people because they don't need to work. It's basically telling everyone you're powered by the dole.

    From being in several relationships and spending the nights with girls, I know that the only time I've seen girls not put knickers on was when they were sleeping naked.

    I don't think it's strictly a thing for people on the dole.

    But you don't know what the day wearers do and nobody else does unless they pull off their pants. Therefore people worry about the potential spread of infection.

    After building work you can get the house disinfected. But nowadays people have to go out wiping seats in restaurants and bringing mini hand hoovers to clean any mess left on the cloth-type seats you find on buses and taxis.

    Well, sometimes you can see the waistband of their knickers stretching over the waistband of the pyjamas. Other times, you can see the lines of their knickers through their pyjamas so, in those cases, the question is answered.

    Otherwise, I'm guessing you just assume people don't wear knickers but you've nothing to back it up with.

    I've no doubt some of them wear knickers, especially during the winter months. But you'd see some without any under-layer during the balmy summer months.

    I really can't figure out if you're joking or not. Do you bring a packet of anti-septic wipes and a mini-hoover with you everywhere you go?

    It is mostly the Irish peoples fault why this country is in this mess. Time after time voting in the party that gave away the most "freebies", only to be astonished to find that the money magically ran out.

    Wipes aren't a big deal. People carry tissues in their pocket so why not wipes? You can get these small types of hoovers to clean up anything foul which might not be eradicated with a wipe. They are handy for cloth surfaces like seats on buses, taxis, the Luas, etc.

    This is what i'm talking about:

    Ah, come on… I'd be pretty fastidious about cleaning my hands during the day but that is taking it to a whole new level of germophobia. That's no way to live your life…

    Yes, because not one other party made outlandish claims of what they'd do when if they were in power and no other party ever gave out saying that the party in government hadn't spent enough money.

    I have no love for Fianna Fail in any way, shape or form but to say that they were the only party promising the sun, moon and stars during the Celtic Tiger is completely untrue.

    You'd probably be better exposing yourself more to the dirt around you and developing a natural resistance to germs than spending your days wiping down and hoovering surfaces in public places tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,822 ✭✭✭Chazz Michael Michaels

    I didn't say that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    I didn't say that.

    But Fine Gael and Labour were offering just as many 'freebies' in their election manifestos before the recession. The problem was that Fianna Fail had been in power at the right time when the economy started to rise and so were able to ride the crest of the wave. Looking at the way Fine Gael are running things makes me think that, sadly, no other potential government would have done things differently.

    Ok, this is straying rather far from the point. Even in the face of the impending crisis (2007) people still voted for the very party that ran them into difficulty. Why? Because this was the same party that kept the freebies flowing. The crisis was caused by the greed of ordinary citizens, free money, houses for everyone, two holidays a year, low taxes; they voted in droves for this and something had to give eventually. But no one wanted to know and kept voting for the party to continue.

    People say they couldn't have seen it coming. No? Pick up a history book. It happens over and over.

    -- Mario Kart and Call of Duty are overrated.
    -- I hate GAA.
    -- The Godfather put me to sleep.
    -- P!nk > Beyoncé
    -- I don't like Elvis Presley or Bob Marley at all.
    -- Father Ted wasn't that funny.
    -- McDonald's isn't that bad.

    No, just no.

    If you remember, during the run up to the 2007 general election, the talk from most vested interests was still about the notion of a soft landing which is what had started the initial slowdown in the economy and most people had some trust that FF could guide them through. Remember, the Lehman Brothers crash and bank guarantee didn't happen for another 16 months afterwards. And the truth about Anglo took longer. After it came to light how inept Fianna Fail had been, they were out on their ear as soon as the election was called. There's a world of difference between the way people thought about Fianna Fail from May 2007 to September 2008.

    Yes. I think it's ludicrous that someone wouldn't wash their hands after using the toilet. You can't justify diseases by saying that if we were exposed to them we'd become immune eventually. Everyone should wash their hands after using the loo. And those who do don't do it right half the time. Also it'd be useless washing your hands and "drying" them with a soggy towel, one which has gone through great use. The germs will multiply on that towel and you'll walk from the toilet with germ-fuelled hands.

    I hate Jersey Shore (very unpopular opinion especially around women or at least around ones I know!)

    Don't like X-Factor or any other talent show and pretty much every other reality tv show out there as there is way too many on. The X Factor especially wrecks my head every year, when I'm flicking through channels and come across it on a Sunday evening and contestants starts bawling after being told "NO!" for having an awful or mediocre voice, also X-Factor complaints block up my news feed on Facebook which drives me mental. For example "Its a fix!!" or "F**k Simon Cowell he's a prick" etc. They complain and bitch and moan about it year on year yet they tune in every year and keeping the show in business! Argh!!

    Don't like football (I am a bloke and don't like football, most guys would look at me like I have two heads if I say "I don't like football!". Not into the whole rolling around injured on the pitch when another player barely taps them, they get paid way too much and there is no pride aspect to the sport, more of the players aren't even from the cities they are playing for, and its more about buying and selling players also. I just never took to it, and nobody in my family is into it either. GAA is acceptable though.

    Guns N' Roses are one of the most overrated bands ever and get too much airtime on radio and tv, they haven't had a decent song in 20 years, Axl is a complete douche to his fans and has made pretty much the entire band quit and yet people will still go to their shows even after the Dublin incident in 2010 when he shows up late like most of GNR's shows, even though the band has attracted a new generation of fans, most of which are teenagers that may have travelled long distances to the once off Dublin show and may not have the funds to stay in Dublin overnight and may have to get buses home and they spent up to €70 for a ticket aswell as getting to Dublin. The people that walked out of the concert should have got a refund but didn't.

    Russell Brand isn't funny! (People tend to disagree with me on that one)

    Pop music is gone to shyte in the last 10 years. (FACT)

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭zcorpian88


    Some 90's stuff was alright, but boy bands no thanks, Actually I like 80's pop music better probably because I was reared on it, some was chessy and some was catchy. Later on I got into modern and classic rock though which I prefer now and listen to a lot which made me hate modern pop music. Anything I hear on the radio now the lyrics of a lot of songs are too repetitive and I just can't listen to it without saying "Turn that frigging radio off!"
