"People spraying deodorants and airfresheners in a supermarket.
Savages 
Is this testing or actually using them ...giving themselves a quick squirt "
I was in Tesco in Liffey Valley a couple of weeks ago and watched a young lad almost empty am entire can on Lynx onto himself. You could follow him around the shop after it with your eyes closed. Jesus, I could hardly breathe. |

"People who come in when I'm using the coffee machine and rush me..
Mick....I'll buy your coffee just get out of the way of the bloody machine "
I don't take sugar or milk so that'll speed up the process! |

When in a car park, people park their car as close to the store as possible and not in an actual parking spot. Being an obstruction and inconvenient to everyone else, just so they don't have to walk that extra few steps. |

The thing that has appeared on the likes of Reddit where people, possibly in an attempt to minic Americans, drop the word Street from an address.
For example.. "Yeah, so.. I was walking on Camden the other day, and then I went to Harcourt after that, before heading to O'Connell"
Fuck right off with that bullshit!

" Bicyclists that take a whole lane on the road and kids/people with electric scooters..."
There's a good reason for doing that, as it's to stop drivers from squeezing past them while meeting oncoming traffic, thereby putting the cyclist in even greater danger. |

That's why you have the bike lane, you don't pay tax or insurance, yet you are takin up the road because you don't want to use the bike lane... |

Watched a woman in the café in Tesco once fill 3 separate bags with all the salt, sugar and ketchup sachets and just walked out of the store without buying a thing. |

When I pile my shopping from the fully filled trolley onto the checkout belt and the person behind me rushes to do so too leaving me with no space to put my items.
Checking out in Covid times was soooo blissful... |

You say that as if there were cycle lanes everywhere, and as if cycle lanes were all of even reasonable quality. I'm happy enough to say that the cycle lanes that were thrown in during the late celtic tiger era were universally of abysmal quality and you'd be safer cycling in the middle of the road naked with no sun protection on a sunny day while eating cigarettes and chewing on a piece of asbestos |

As funny as that example was, I still don't agree, wanna go for a cycle ,put your bike on the bike rack, and go cycle somewhere where you can do it safely and don't have to create chaos in traffic, especially at hours when people have to bring their kids to school or going to work...
As far as the drivers squeezing by them, for as long as I've been driving here, I haven't seen a car squeezing by a cyclist, always seen the cars going on the other lane to pass them just to be at a safe distance |

Filling station this morning.
20 pumps in total and 2 of them are pay at pump only.
Only 2 other cars on the forecourt and they both went to pay at pump and then proceeded to head into the shop for coffee!
What the fuck is the point in that? |

Yeah, how inconvenient of cyclists wanting to go to work, the selfish bastards!
It doesn't matter that you haven't seen it, it happens regularly.
I grew up cycling in a place where there were no cycle lanes so what was I supposed to do, cycle in the fields? Walk?
I cycled around Dublin city centre for years, with cars actually bumping me off the road more than once, people opening doors in front of me, throwing stuff out of windows, etc. I rarely cycle anymore but I've used the cycle lanes around Lucan plenty of times in the past and they really are a danger. I can fully understand why cyclists don't want to use them.
Build quality cycle lanes that don't have pedestrians or all the shit and debris from the road on them and cyclists will use them. |

When I lived in stoneybatter in my crispier years the James Joyce Bridge had a cycle lane that completely disappeared when hitting the road going up to stoneybatter. So you actually had to swerve back into the car lane, it always felt like throwing yourself under the bus... |

They'll have some serious inflation to achieve to get them into the same ball park as car drivers, and I'm one of them most of the time. If your day is that badly marred by the ten seconds you lost behind a cyclist then I'm willing to suggest that time management may not be one of your skills.  |

Maybe it's the way how those pay at the pump work. You choose an amount ie 30quid, you shovel the nozzle into the hole, at beginning it flows in full strength, gargling away until you nearly hit your maximum, then it slows down automatically just to get a bit more enjoymentout of those last few drops, then you shake the nozzle to get the last drop out and back it goes into its place, press the button and you get a receipt that you've done it on the dot! Surely that deserves a treat from the shop! |

Oh look everyone knows there are plenty of cyclists who deliberately stay out more than necessary just to make the point that they can (total ego trippin cunts) and it actually makes it far more dangerous for them to be overtake (stupid muppets)
Thankfully there are more cyclists who keep in out of mutual respect and cop on ... sound  |

I couldn't care about being delayed behind cyclists to be honest
Sunday on my road is like the Tour De France with the hundreds of middle aged men in Lycra heading up the mountains
It just means I go earlier for my coffee |

Middle/outside lane hoggers.
All traffic laws in Ireland are based on the basic precept that; "vehicles must drive as close as possible to the left hand side of the carriageway except when overtaking or turning right".
To do otherwise is breaking the law and a danger to other road users.
GET BACK IN LANE ye idiots and pull over and learn the rules of the road....as soon as its safe to do so.

Yeah, you'd think they'd just go into the field for you. Bastards.
The problem is that even ten minutes lost shouldn't have a negative effect on your day. Feel free to concentrate your outrage on the most vulnerable road users rather than your own ability to cope with a slight delay. |

The add by the RSA for keeping cyclists safe always made be laugh when he said
"Cyclists should travel two abreast when travelling in groups".
I always wondered why are cyclists always traveling to a breast, and why only 1 breast can they not just have a peek at the second one when they get there????? |

Being annoyed and being outraged are two different things, if there's a bike lane use the bike lane, that's why it's called bike lane, it's self explanatory...
As for the the bike lane is shit hence I'm gonna go on the road, I don't think any driver said the roads are shit I'm gonna drive on the side path because it's better

Its not an inability to cope with a slight delay ... it an unwillingness to tolerate an unnecessary delay put apon you by someone's ego |

Its not an inability to cope with a slight delay ... it an unwillingness to tolerate an unnecessary delay put apon you by someone's ego "
That you think the only reason a cyclist goes out on the road is because of their ego says more about you than it does about them.
That would be comical if it really wasn't so tragic. |

" Bicyclists that take a whole lane on the road and kids/people with electric scooters...
There's a good reason for doing that, as it's to stop drivers from squeezing past them while meeting oncoming traffic, thereby putting the cyclist in even greater danger.
Not to mention most need the extra room for their inflated sense of self entitlement
They'll have some serious inflation to achieve to get them into the same ball park as car drivers, and I'm one of them most of the time. If your day is that badly marred by the ten seconds you lost behind a cyclist then I'm willing to suggest that time management may not be one of your skills.
I doubt anyone is talking about a 10 second difference...
It happens so many times here where the traffic was fucked because 4 people decided to take the whole lane and the line of cars behind them to be more than 20 cars...

Mick re read before you take your attitude out on me ... you want to make out I'm talking about all cyclists in general to weaken my point because you can't strengthen your own ..
Go back and read again . And then come back with something worth saying instead of trying to belittle me and making a fool of yourself in the process. |

" Bicyclists that take a whole lane on the road and kids/people with electric scooters...
There's a good reason for doing that, as it's to stop drivers from squeezing past them while meeting oncoming traffic, thereby putting the cyclist in even greater danger.
That's why you have the bike lane, you don't pay tax or insurance, yet you are takin up the road because you don't want to use the bike lane...
You say that as if there were cycle lanes everywhere, and as if cycle lanes were all of even reasonable quality. I'm happy enough to say that the cycle lanes that were thrown in during the late celtic tiger era were universally of abysmal quality and you'd be safer cycling in the middle of the road naked with no sun protection on a sunny day while eating cigarettes and chewing on a piece of asbestos
As funny as that example was, I still don't agree, wanna go for a cycle ,put your bike on the bike rack, and go cycle somewhere where you can do it safely and don't have to create chaos in traffic, especially at hours when people have to bring their kids to school or going to work...
As far as the drivers squeezing by them, for as long as I've been driving here, I haven't seen a car squeezing by a cyclist, always seen the cars going on the other lane to pass them just to be at a safe distance "
Driver entitlement!.
Who knew tarmac would be renamed SUV only 
PS. My whole family cycle everywhere when they can. 3 generations on bikes. As is their right. The law of the land. Beep Beep. |

Cyclists can cycle two abreast but under Article 47 of the Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) 1997 Regulations (as substituted by the 2012 Regulations), you must not cycle more than two abreast, except when overtaking and it does not endanger or obstruct other traffic.
The law.
The only entitlement comes from the cyclist who think they have the god given right to take a whole lane. |

People who buy tea/coffee in a shop. I always wonder is it mainly an image thing , especially in the morning when it’s as easy or cheap to make a cup of tea/coffee at home. I don’t drink coffee but it’s huge around. People going in and buying it in shops. |

It's easy enough to make am instant coffee at home at least. It's not the same thing though. Mind you, some of the coffee from the machines isn't all that either. |

I can't even give it away ..no one wants it
And all the coffee tastes the same its horrible
I buy coffee 7 days a week in either Applegreen or Supervalue...both gorgeous coffees

Ah heeere.. I have a Nespresso machine that I've used daily for the last seven years. I can't say I have that problem with all the pods tasting the same either as I always find lots of variety. Now, it doesn't beat a really good coffee but it gets me going in the morning all the same.
I live in terror of it not working some morning, seeing as it's now seven years old.
Have you any decent pods to give away? |

Good woman, good for you.
After another while you'll have people on here asking you questions about coffee & maybe even hoping you do coffee sampling at a social, sometime in the future. |

The only thing to annoy me today was the dope who was meant to help me but did everything but help. In some cases he got in my way. Did tell him off and if the boss asks why the job wasn't done I'll point at the hinderance and tell him that waste of space. |
