    Wondering if I should start phoning every female I know and apologise for oppressing with my masculinity or give the gender studies people the beatings they so richly deserve.


    Gender studies lol. These people should be laughed at.

    I say 'toupe'. No one has called me on it yet. I am tempted to say Palestinians instead of Philistines when giving out about someone but am pretty sure they'd just think I was stupid.

    I remember years ago a guy telling me about some East German who had defecated to the West..............

    People who try to shove you up in the queue just because the person in front of you has moved up an inch, even though there are still lots of people in front of them.

    And don't move back when I glare at them repeatedly while moving my elbows about. Why do they think I'm glaring at them if not to evoke that response?

    People who don't open the window when they're finished using the meeting room, etc., leaving the air all stale for the next group.

    When everyone suddenly becomes an expert after a newsworthy event. Like after a crash or a building collapses, the number of apparent structural or aviation engineers in AH who come out of the woodwork is interesting.

    And aroung August/September I learned that Ireland has many many more experts in Peruvian criminal law than I would ever have imagined.

    Parents who have baby girls with no hair and put hairbands on them. Like, hairbands are designed to keep your hair out of your face, not to decorate a bald baby head. It just looks stupid.

    That's bad and all, but there's worse, no, seriously, there is-

    I was walking down the street there earlier and a woman and her friend were standing ready to cross the road with what I thought was a small girl in tow. "She" was wearing a cerise pink puff jacket and ambling along with a pull-along toy...

    "Come on Andy, Andy!"

    I'd to do a double take as I looked behind me thinking I'd misheard, but no, on second glance it was indeed a young boy wearing a neon pink jacket! I don't even bat an eyelid any more at the "fighting the gender stereotypes" shìte some parents are doing, making their children fight their battles for them!

    Maybe little Andy liked his little pink jacket!
    One of my baby cousins decided he liked a ... erm, I can't remember what item of clothing it was, it involved sparkles anyway - which was originally bought for his sister :p

    Or it could have been "we won't give them a gender" parents yeah :pac:

    I took a liking to a Barbie doll when I was a kid. Just because I liked the feel of the dress! It's perfectly normal. So mammy says anyway.

    Andi can be a girls name, short for Andrea.

    People who say, do you follow me, at the end of every fookin sentence when they are explaining something to you. Had a boss like that in my twenties, he was an as$hole.

    People who visit the US for two weeks and come home with an American accent or visit Australia and the minute they return start calling everyone maayte or saying giddaaay.

    Eamon Dunphy's hair. It pi$$es me off no end.

    How smug Sharon Ni Bheola, Ni Bhoelai, Ni Bheolain??? The blonde doll on RTE who can't smile in case her face cracks.

    Jean Byrne never wearing her leather dresses anymore, boo hoo hoo:confused: The number of warm fronts rising when she wore them went up 10000% back in the day.

    But here's the dilemma Keith, on which side of the punctuation do you put your smiley face icon yolkies!?!?!?

    I tend to avoid this dilemma by never ever using childish emoticons.

    Hope that helps. :) .
