    I can't believe nobody has mentioned taxi drivers, politicians, bankers, estate agents etc yet.

    Pretty sure they've all been mentioned multiple times.

    Hardly a profession, but interior designers. Usually an idea pounced upon by ladies of a certain background poised somewhere between a barely scraped arts degree and moving from daddy's wallet to hubby's where she'll convince herself she can write childrens books in between long lunches with orange botoxed mates.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    TV license inspectors ...... "TV license ??" ... "Eh yeah ... **** off ??"

    Band and media types who complain about file sharing and downloading when no one really agrees with them.

    No surprise that you're happy to steal someone elses cinema seat. Maybe if you paid you way in life you wouldn't hate 4 of these professions so much.

    Teachers - they expect us to scrape and bow before them , overpaid and underworked , impossible to sack and use the '' won't someone think of the children '' argument every time they look for more money.

    I can't think of a more self-serving bunch.

    I disagree. Id say it's an incredibly difficult job. The teacher's in my secondary school certainly worked hard. They had to put up with some amount of **** and got little respect for it.


    I think we are the only country in the world who hates teachers. Everywhere else highly values their teachers. It's usually fuelled by jealousy - they get longer holidays than me - they get higher pay than me - they don't do any work - its an easy job etc. Yet most of those people wouldn't do their job for the money they are on.

    New teachers are starting off on something like 13k that's about social welfare money. I'm not a teacher and I would like to see them given a pay rise. It will attract better teachers who go elsewhere because teaching doesn't pay enough.

    Oh and I hate taxi men. They just stop anywhere - but it's okay cause they have hazard lights. They drive in two lanes at the same time They do random surprise u turns. If they have a passenger they are crawling up the road and if they don't they are stuck up your ass

    Doctors; when they think they are some kind of god especially when they misdiagnose...

    Vets who are much the same.

    Pharmacists who think they know more than you do re OTC meds

    Ditto car mechanics.

    vodafone customer "care" personnel

    b of I cashiers who are rude re making you use deposit machines.

    Landlords.

    Moderators...

    roma and other professional beggars.

    Those heavily made-up brown faced whores at the perfumes/cosmetics counters in department stores.

    Looking down their snotty, brown, crusty,foundation-plastered noses at everybody regardless of sex or age.

    They're usually a bunch of ugly-looking bastards anyway who failed the Leaving Cert Applied..

    Bye.

    The older teachers are but not the younger ones.

    What I meant anyway is that society dislikes them,

    I find a lot of teachers have a very uppity attitude when anyone tries to criticise the profession in any way. "I educate young minds" type haughty attitude.

    Not so much a profession, but 75% of the lads I manage over in Britain are lazy ****ers. They were carried by the company on 40 hour weeks when they could've been let go during a quiet period, yet now when a lot of contracts have landed they're not prepared to go above normal hours to get the jobs done. They come out with **** like "There's hardly any incentive to work Mon - Fri, let alone Sat." and "I don't need the extra money". Little do they realise that after this rush of contracts they could well find themselves on the dole because of their attitude and will be replaced by immigrants or subcontractors.

    Ooh chuggers! Can't bear them!

    Most people are just doing their job though and don't deserve flack for the corrupt behaviour of their superiors, nor do they deserve to be condemned in their entirety because of a handful of isolated incidents caused by people who happen to be in the same profession.
