The 11 Most Annoying People You'll Meet On Your 6th Year Holiday

With the Leaving Cert just around the corner, there's probably one thing that both students and alumni everywhere are thinking about – your 6th year holiday. The 6th year holiday is a rite of passage for Leaving Cert students everywhere. It involves copious amounts of alcohol, sunburn and paying extortionate money on things you don't need.

It's also most people's first holiday without their parents, which means you bump into a lot of characters you wouldn't see otherwise. These people can be randomers on the strip, club promoters and even your best friends. The 6th year holiday can bring out the worst in people, don't you know?

So come and embrace your future or laugh at your past at some of the arseholes you've met or are going to meet on your 6th year holiday.

1. The overly confident club promotor

This person thinks they're God's gift to the world. They will not hesitate to grope you while simultaneously throwing a free drink token in your direction. This person should not be encouraged under any circumstances as this will only lead to more creepy behaviour.

2. The whiner

This will probably be part of the crew you ventured over with. It's their first time away from Mammy and Daddy and their triple stuffed Egyptian cotton sheets and the sesh life just isn't for them. They will proceed to whine about the food, drinking, the lack of sleep, the condom left on their pillow and various other factors no one gives a shite about.

3. The sesh Queen/King

This person will seemingly not sleep the entire 9 days you're over there. They'll never be seen without a bottle in their hand and can literally drink more than all of your gang put together.

4. The rowdy English lad

There's always one and he's always a shitebag.

5. The bartender who you think loves you

They will convince you that by throwing in that extra shot free of charge you've met the love of your life. In reality, they really just want the shift and know you'll end up buying back that shot 4 times over by the end of the night.

6. The creepy club owner

Different to the Overly Confident Club Promotor, this person actually owns the club they work for. For this reason, they feel even more obliged to grope you – avoid like the plague.

7. The chanter

In any strip, in any part of the world, there's always a chanter. No matter what ethnicity, race or noise level, there's always one. They're normally fond of some sort of football chant and can be found pointing both fingers in the air and jumping up and down in a big group of lads.

8. The person who can't handle their drink

Ah, bless. Maybe they're a pioneer, maybe all they've ever tried is a glass of port with Mammy and Daddy, regardless, they're a bloody state. They will get sick most nights and are just a pain in the arse.

9. The ghost

This person will most definitely get the flight over with you, but you won't see them or hear them past this. Faint remembrances will echo through your ears as you hear them floating into the apartment at random intervals, but you shall never see the ghost in the flesh.

10. The clean freak

Your apartment will most definitely end up looking like an explosive device was let off within the first day. The clean freak won't like this. They can be found frantically cleaning while everyone else is chilling by the pool. Avoid the apartment under all circumstances if the clean freak is in the vicinity.

11. The group of lads/girls from home

You will 100% meet a group of lads or girls from home and stick together like glue. After all, we're Irish and that's what we do. As a result, you won't make any other friends and slowly learn to despise their guts.
