I think it is a good universal name

The official name of the game is Football.

You can't go changing the name of the game as you like.

They should really put more luggage space on those busses!

I've been that person with the suitcase though and it's horrible, because you know you're blocking a seat and people are standing, but you have nowhere else to put the bloody thing! It wasn't here, it was in France - on a train from the airport to the city centre. You'd think that when they built a trainline to the airport, they'd have got trains with luggage-racks and space... but nope, it was a standard commuter train. Such an awkward journey.

The Big Red Button

When the machine at the Dart station has a f*cking seizure when you put your ticket into it ... It would be fine if it would just reject it and spit it back out, but no, instead it sucks it in and out several dozen times, and you're left standing there like an idiot trying to catch it.

its a generic term

OldNotWIse

People trying to get onto the bus before people have got off

OldNotWIse

Oh and people who bottle neck the top of the bus when there are plenty of seats at the back. Same goes for those who let their kids sit/stand on the stairs so that you cannot avail of seats on the top deck.

In fact, I think I could write a book about bus etiquette

I've no problem with someone paying me with lots of change, but dear lord the ones who stand in the queue for 5 mins, come up to the counter, wait for you to scan all their shopping, bag it, and then they say "Oh you don't mind if I get rid of some of this change do you?", only to then begin to take their wallet out of their pocket. Of course, I can hardly say "no, gimme that €50 I can see in your wallet". So then there's the banter to make the customer feel at ease, quick joke about 1c coins not being worth the metal they're made of, with elderly women there's the long winded explanation about how €2 coins are just SO ridiculously heavy. Then there's the fumbling around for change in the million and one sections of the wallet, followed by them then being a bit short [even though they've plenty of notes in the thing], and then you have to either let them off a euro or put yourself in a position where the customer will get very upset. I've been screamed at by a customer before for 'letting' them count all their change at the counter and then not letting them off €2 when they had a €50 in their purse.

uuuh, I think i'd kill someone

IvySlayer

People in shops who don't get their money ready. People in shops who forget to do the lotto when they got their change and you have to wait 5 more minutes.

They use neither their feet, nor a ball. The game is more rightly called Handegg.

They do it on the Luas too. I had to cram in the other day and once I was inside I realised that the only reason it seemed so packed was because no-one would move down away from the doors and hold on to the handstraps between the seats. You could easily have fitted half a dozen people in there.

Quite often soccer players will throw in the ball. They don't call it Handball though.

yeppydeppy

Isn't the word soccer of English origin? A sorta contraction of association as in association football to distinguish it from rugby football? Which would make it perfectly acceptable to refer to it as soccer?

Fire drills - why do I need to prove I can walk outside?

Gillo

People who walk slow and clog the whole part. I'm convinced that on predestrianised streets (Grafton St & Henry St for example) they should have a strollers lane and a lane for people who actual are walking at a decent pace.

People who load the dish washer arse ways. One of the guys I live with literally just throws stuff in, a small bit of care and you can fit twice as much in.

1. Fooking students.
2. Especially students who moan about everything while mammy and daddy pay for it.
3. Pseudo internet experts blowing it out their arse.
4. The other half's concept of tidying, is really HIDYING. can never find stuff where i left it.
5. and students

Sadderday

people that plaster stuff on the internet like 'i found a safe' and have everyone waiting to see what they find but they sit down to watch love/hate instead of trying to open it in their free time.

agree with the walking thing. Ive often nearly taking someone out of it on Grafton Street because they just stop suddenly in front of me. I find the best way to get through grafton street is in a zig zag movement. Walking at the angle allows you to get around people easier and see whos coming and if they stop in front your not going directly into them.
Maybe im overthinking it.

They're a bunch of bog warriors/ex-cons who should learn the correct term for football. :pac:






GAA football is possibly the least skillful field sport on earth. Hurling is a great game, but GAA football is like a mix of real football and rugby, with all the skill and aggression of them both taken out.
