And finally ones who act differently when their around certain people.

Hypocrisy particularly on issues of war and conflict
Like 911 in which 2000 died
In Iraq over 200,000 died but yet 911 is somehow seen as more of a tragedy?
The war in afghanistan is still called a war? How is it not an occupation?
Thats like saying when Britain ruled Ireland or India they were at war. In what way is it still a war?
Bin laden and bush both gave orders knowing large amounts of civilians would be killed but somehow Mr Bush is not the war criminal that Bin Laden was? Opinions are one thing but calculators speak the facts so how can they be debated?

Or the way children starve to death everyday but yet we were choose not to execute serial rapists or offenders of serious crimes even though by spending money keeping just one of these animals alive we condemn hundreds of children to death. I find illogical that we have criminals with violent assault charges with over 80 convictions or more and they are released back into society after costing thousands of tax payers money whilst the opportunity cost is that we have to let children elsewhere in the world starve to death. Where is the logic? Is one guilty Irish rapist worth more than hundreds of African children? If it costs thousands each year per prisoner and those adverts on the telly i belive say that €6 a month can save a childs life, then is that not what is the case around the world?
I wonder is it hypocrisy and illogical mathematics?
Or just an inconvenient truth?

Loads of people do this. In fact most I would guess. It's usually subconcious. You might even do it yourself. It's not malicious generally - although yes, there are some manipulative, sly social chameleons around too.

100% agree with this, your second point, not so much.

There's two ways of looking at it i suppose. People who are quieter when around certain individuals, usual because when they say anything they are made fun of or giving stick of some sort (even if what they say or do is normal). That's understandable though, I'm a bit like that myself. It's easier to keep your mouth shut in these cases. A small minority of the people who i socialize with are @rseholes so I see this a lot.

But then there are c**ts who show off when around certain individuals or even an audience in general. Just to make themselves feel like a clown. These are the ones I ****en hate.

There's this guy in my college who has absolutely no concept of personal space. He will speak virtually nose to nose to you, showering you with spittle and give you no breathing space. He also talks like a Valley Girl (Like, omigod, like, totally!) and he prounouces Japan as "Jahh-pin". Dear lord, it takes so much self-restraint not to slap him in the face.

This is the second time I've seen this particular complaint in this thread.

Who the hell BRAGS about never reading books? I've never in my life come across this.

I can't be the only one that finds this claim (that people brag about never reading books) a bit odd.

And are you sure that people "brag" about being crap at maths? Are you 100% sure in your heart of hearts that they are, in fact, trying to make themselves look good by stating that they are sh1t at maths? You're SURE?

Quite a few people in my school were like that, mainly because it wasn't "cool" to read or to study.

I distinctly remember a girl in primary school (I'd say about 5th class) coming over to my desk at lunch time and waving her arms in front of the book I was reading and shouting "Eh hellllo?! It's lunch time! LUNCH! You're supposed to use it for having fun! Not reading!! What are you doing?!". Another time I was reading in the yard because the people I usually hung out with were absent/playing something I didn't like and someone kept talking in my ear to try and stop me reading. I know you can't take things that happen in primary school seriously, but that attitude prevailed in secondary too, and moved on to Facebook as The King of Moo pointed out a few posts back ^^.

I've shaken off most of those eejits since I went to college, but I still see people on the Luas getting asked "Why are you reading?!" and getting harrassed by Luas skangers for it!

People who claim there's "no back table" and only "one shot on the black".

I want to kill them.

Perhaps if they are talking in a derogatory sense it's just that they don't know what the complex object is..

It's not that common I'll grant you, but I have seen a few cases of it happening.

I think you might be on to something though: I think some people just never grow out of being socialised into thinking books are uncool as a kid.
But with others, I think it stems from a defensiveness as they feel insecure about the fact that they don't read and feel threatened by people who do read, fearing they're smarter folk than themselves, so they slag reading to make themselves look/feel better.

Of course, some people are also just f**king idiots.

Yeah, I agree. It's natural, IMO. People bring out different sides of other people.

cliffandclare

People who sniffle.
People who dont know anything about history but love talking about fashion or the latest soap.
People who do not realise when a huge news story breaks (Norwegian massacre etc) and are saying" God i never heard about that ", while inside i am screaming watch a news bulletin or read the paper , keep up , how could you not know
People who read others behind their back maliciously.

I was one of the "not reading and proud types" until I was thirteen, now I cannot get enough of books. If these people would just read one or two books, they would see what they are missing.

And are you sure that people "brag" about being crap at maths? Are you 100% sure in your heart of hearts that they are, in fact, trying to make themselves look good by stating that they are sh1t at maths? You're SURE?

I always come across this stuff, people who ridicule others over using 'big words' and so on. College students who brag about passing exams without studying or knowing what they're talking about. Etc etc.

It's not that they brag directly about not reading books, they just try and make it seem like they're somehow 'schmad' or going against the grain by not reading etc. Grown adults, this is, by the by. And if you never came across it in secondary school...did you talk to anyone in secondary school? Everyone knows at least one person who always said they hadn't studied for exams then got an A and so on.

It makes psychological sense too: these people clearly feel inadequate about their lack of education/intelligence and are trying to make it appear as if they never wanted to be smart anyway. As if being intelligent made them somehow incapable of partaking in other aspects of life and so on. Positively framing it, basically. It just irritates me how they can say it so openly without feeling ridiculous mid-sentence.

I knew someone once who was smart enough and studied, LC at 16 or so, but never read a book outside of that. Ever. He was proud of it.

I can't wrap my head around not ever wanting to read a book. If I met someone and I found that out about them it would turn me off quicker than almost anything. It'd kill any desire or attraction I felt stone dead.

People who try really hard to be different, as in "oh look at me I'm such an individual, aren't I'm so cool and quirky". The only thing you are is a dope!

People who always have to make stupid comments or criticisms about everything.

Compulsive liars/Bull****ters.

Out Of The Night

People who speak with a really fake so called 'south Dublin' accent. Those who are fairly well off financially but are really tight. Extreme pride and stubborness. Constant negativity.

I hate people in general but the most annoying type are these hysterical women with the high pitch Ranelagh/d4 accents you find around Grafton Street.


I was like

""OH MY GAWD LIKE!!!"

Also spineless b*stards, which there are many off in this country. Oh, those hipsters in Topman, god damn it they build up quite the furry in me.

The "Just pay it" crowd. The gobsh1te I described earlier in the thread would also be one of these

Some crowd are trying to overcharge you? Just pay it.

You get a fine for something you didn't do? Just pay it.

You order a pint and the person wants 7 euros for it? Just pay it.

You get served a plate of dogfood at a restaurant? Just pay it.

Thing breaks? Buy a new one, don't repair you backward ould fool.

You know something is cheaper elsewhere? Buy it here you stingey bastard

Get clamped outside your own door? Don't bring out the ****ing angle grinder that's illegal use their appeals process which is just a bin in some poxy office in Dublin that gets emptied every week while your car is held for randsom.

What it comes down to is you as the ordinary person are always wrong and the person trying to get money from you is always right. There are less of these gobsh1tes wandering around since the tiger died but jaysus they're annoying. You're supposed to feel bad for demanding any sort of value for money and ashamed for not being a pushover.

The Master of Disaster

People who whip out acoustic guitars at house parties.

Hipsters.

People who act disinterested for the sake of it when you talk to them because they think it makes them seem cool/mysterious/aloof.

afrodub

People who write on internet forums late at night about any old drivel just because they can`t sleep, apparently.

People who are hypocrites,see above.
