My nephew loved those heavily sponsored Ninja Kids bastards when he was younger (and before he moved on to Mincraft and Fortnight), and as a result he has a liking for 'Doreedos'. Makes my blood boil every time I hear it.

This causes mortal injury to me every time I hear it.

Common enough in Connemara, more a short vesion of Mamaí. But either way, it's better than 'mum'.

Surely not? I know my wee fella talks about things costing 10 dollars when he plays shop because of the YouTube vids he watches. But he's only 5 and will know better in time.

Why excuse do adults have?

Need more people to do it, even if only to make it easier finding birthday and Christmas cards with Mom on it.   :)

The young lad is on the phone beside me. "I'm going to go ahead and... whatever" has been mentioned twice in the past minute. Cuntish.

Edit. There's number three! Unfuckingreal.

Did he do it from the get go? Whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.

People who are totally unaware of the space around them: people who who walk for long stretches without looking where they're going, people who walk diagonally and slowly in front of you so you can't get by, people who walk in the middle of a space that's only wide enough for two people so you can't get by, same people who then stop and stare around them blankly blocking the way, people who text while they're walking causing them to walk at a snail's pace in everybody's way, people who do same when crossing a road and cars are waiting to turn, people standing at the side of the path talking who watch you power walking the whole way down the street and just as you reach them step out blankly in front of you and walk the direction you're going in front of you but at half the speed. All variations and configurations of the above.

And to think....if you punched them, you'd be the bad guy. Wtf?

Public execution is the only sensible solution.

Edit.  That reads like a line from a punk song. Or an NSBM song perhaps.

Reading news articles and it refers to posts on "x, formerly twitter". I could understand it for the first week after the change, but it doesn't matter what it used to be called really, jesus just get on with it and just call it x!!

I had that a while ago - heading to a restaurant for my sister's birthday dinner, it was mid-December and I live 20 mins. walk outside town. Hard day's work was one thing but about 100 yards from the place we were meeting, I was tired and cold as it was, and this CUNT bringing a suitcase for a walk passes me by and immediately cuts across in front of me, thereby dragging her case across my feet and tripping me up. I had headphones on so couldn't hear any potential response, but given that I kicked the case aside (into the road, very busy) as hard as I could and screamed "you ignorant fucking cunt" at volume, I'm guessing that she was as shocked as she looked. Absolute arsehole. Add anyone who pulls a suitcase behind them to the pet peeve list. Pick it up, have some fucking dignity you cunt.

'The crime is life. The sentence is death.' Kill everyone.

Some people just have fuck all personality, so why do they take a job dealing with the public? How much effort does it take to say please and thank you rather than just mumble through the interaction, just common fucking courtesy...clowns..

If moths with annoying voices existed, my workplace is like a fucking candle to them.

There's one lad in his 50s who works on a different floor, but who sometimes has dealings with people on mine. So I get to listen to the cunt from time to time.
If he's talking about someone else or quoting them, he'll put on a bizarre, slow, high pitched, Paul Bearer-esque voice. It's actually fucking insane.
