    Yes attention seekers.

    Some Irish people have such a self loathing that anything English is better than Ireland.

    Another TA People who don't have their own minds and do things because their parents did. Politicians and religious I am looking at you. Use your own head ffs.

    Why is it like solving a cryptic crossword to find out the support acts for gigs these days?



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,654 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Incessant TV flickers. Just pick something and watch it!



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,952 ✭✭✭mikemac2


    People telling the world they are quitting Twitter…..yet they do not leave

    It’s attention seeking tbh and I’ve seen it a lot this week

    The world is trying to kill me today.

    I was bringing my little girl to school this morning and crossing the road on a green man a van tried to drive straight though the lights as we were in the middle of the road. He slammed on at the last second.

    Later I was again crossing at a green man and a big Audi went straight though the red light in front of me and a Kawasaki motor bike went through the red just behind me.

    Should I stay home tomorrow?

    Maybe wear a hi-viz vest, flashing lights and carry a whistle? It would be a start, anyway...

    You're talking to yourself! 🤣


    Mod: Nothing to see, here.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Did you quote the wrong post? That must be trivially annoying...😂


    Mod: I do not know to what you're referring. *whistles nonchalantly*

    Once again, I do not know to what you are referring. *whistles nonchalantly*



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,566 ✭✭✭Badly Drunk Boy


    Yeah, that's shocking awful behaviour!


    I'm just annoyed that I haven't gone to bed yet. I was trying to convince myself to go before 11 for once, but here I am...wasting time on the internet while listening to Einsturzende Neubauten.

    If it's any consolation, I'm here remembering a TA from last Friday in the shops - the idiot who decided it'd be a good idea to plonk his full bag of shopping on the conveyor belt on top of the kiwis I was just buying...

    I've had it up to here with selfish and aggressive drivers lately. Yesterday eve when walking the dog I was forced onto the road by some gobshite trying to park up on the path. I done my best Dustin Hoffman impression from Midnight Cowboy and screamed "I'm walking here!!!" at him.

    Just a few minutes before before that some surly looking galoot stopped dead in front of me to light up a cancer stick. I couldn't get past him fast enough so the filthy smoke wouldn't blow back on top of myself and my dog. These big galoots always seem to look the same. They're between the ages of 40 and 60, are normally between 6ft 2 and 7ft in height with big farmer physiques and usually have bald patches or receding hairline peninsulas, fleece jackets, horrendously badly fitting bootcut jeans and garish design runners which were popular among teens back in the '90s.

    Aah, I feel good after that rant :)

    I'm not sure if I'm more surprised than TA'ed, or TA'ed that I'm surprised - its just such a mix of emotions. I was in my local supermarket, one of those with gently sloped travelators/escalators for both shoppers and shopping trolleys - where the wheels on the shopping trolley fit into the grooves on the escalator to keep them in place and stop them moving. Well, I was standing behind this fella with a trolley as we were heading up onto the main shopping floor and clearly the speed at which the escalator was moving wasn't enough for this bright spark so he lifted the entire empty trolley up into the air in front of him and marched up the remaining part of the escalator - plonked the trolley down at the far end and started his shop. This manoeuvre must've saved him....oh...a good 5-6 seconds on his supermarket visit. I really, REALLY wish I'd had time to grab my phone and take a photo, but I'm sure you've all managed to conjure up a picture in your own heads! The mind boggles!

    It's been said before, but drivers who brake before they indicate. Die, all of you.

    No , must be a different blue pill . This one is to help you sleep, only 😡



  • Registered Users Posts: 16,931 ✭✭✭✭Leg End Reject


    Drivers who don't bother to indicate at all. It's hardly mentally or physically exerting so I can only assume they're assholes.



  • Registered Users Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    People that drive around oblivious to the lack of sunlight driving with no lights on. Hey, you're not that popular mate, they're flashing at you for a reason



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭madmaggie


    Coming home this evening, spotted movement at the side of road. A man walking with a child aged about 3 or 4. Dressed in black, no hi-viz or torch.

    I felt like getting out and having a rant.

    Or the ones that drive around with a bulb gone you know aren't going to bother to change it until the NCT



  • Registered Users Posts: 184 ✭✭thehairygrape


    So there I was, stopping for a ciggie on a public footpath, contemplating my sartorial elegance and my latest attempt at a combover, when this guy walking a dog goes past muttering about people blocking his way. TA is right!



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,296 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    That’s a thing has only been prevalent the last while. Is annoying though. Major TA.

    i think it’s a case supports are lesser artists… then used to be the case. Usually industry luvvies or those in league / mates with the promoters now.

    so advertising it less.

    My TA….

    these fûckin ‘here bro’ knuckleheads.

    head into a barber all be it not my regular one, bit of a Q… about 5 people waiting… turns out these ‘here bro’ merchants are all there, just to wait for a single mate who is getting a haircut…none of them have had or are having a haircut.

    every third sentence… ‘ here bro….’ ‘ here bro….’ ‘ here bro…. blahhh blahhh blahhhhhh ‘

    sooooo…. What’s the story with these gobshîtes.. ‘here bro’ and then they all seem to be glued to each other’s skin.. can’t take a piss, get a haircut, or scratch themselves without their ‘here bro’ buddies… stapled to each other…. It’s weird…and they are annoying with their gobshitery

    Yes! I mentioned it to a guy one night, that one of his front lights was completely gone - I think he was driving into a carpark and parked beside me and I had noticed it as he was coming towards my car.

    Eh, wha', oh yeah - he knew darn well.

    As for people who don't make themselves visible, I have no words. I was driving a short journey on Sunday night. It was dark and raining. I lost track of all the people I (fortunately) saw who crossed roads just anywhere at all, both walking and cycling presumably their logic is that they can see the car lights so the driver must be able to see them, even though they are dressed in dark clothing from head to toe. .

    As for drivers who will not put on their lights...AAAAAAAAARGH.
