The Irish are known around the world as a nation full of friendly and hospitable people. The flip side though is that we complain about almost everything. We just love to pick holes at everything, and quite frankly, we get more out of complaining than being positive. Here is the shit that every Irish person complains about.
20) The weather forecast
"Ah sure, they said it was going to be sunny and I got lashed on, would they ever make up their mind". The Irish have a really bad relationship with weather forecasters, because If they get the weather wrong, we feel like we have been betrayed. We probably shouldn't place so much trust in someone who tells the weather.
19) The Bus
Where do you start with the bus, They are either always late or always early, they take the most ridiculous route imaginable. It is also the most unsociable environment imaginable, and on a warm day it feels like a sauna and everyone's body odour sort of mushes into one.

18) Politicians
It literally doesn't matter who is in office, we will always complain about how they're ruining the country, even in good times. Our Taoiseach could be Dustin the Turkey, sure it would be funny for a few weeks, but after that we would complain about how we voted in a Turkey.
17) Yanks
They all think that they're Irish in someway and us Irish are sick of them saying "Top of the morning to you" and "St.Pattys Days". They all think we're leprechauns and that we all have ginger hair. I suppose it's better than people thinking were all fat and stupid!

16) Bono
Speaking of Yanks, who the hell does Bono think he is? The Irish love to complain about our Bono " Sure, he's practically a Yank he doesn't pay taxes in Ireland and he speaks in an American accent". The reason he lives abroad is because he knows how much of a shithole Ireland is.
15) The Eurovision
"Ah sure, they're only voting for each other for God sake we only have the Brits". We have won it 7 times and we're still complaining about The Eurovision. Ireland doesn't do wacky, so we throw everything at them, Ginger twins, Blonde twins, a turkey... Anything!

14) Louis Walsh
We all wonder the same thing when comes it comes to Louis Walsh... How on earth he got on TV. In all fairness, for someone who looks like a failed fashion stylist he did pretty well for himself.
13) Ryan Tubridy
People young and old across the country, have a united hatred for the Late Late Show presenter. "Ah no I don't like him, sure look at him, he is so skinny that has to be unhealthy". We still haven't fully gotten over the loss of Ireland's sweetheart Gay Byrne.

12) The Referee
Anytime there is a GAA match on we will always have a reason to complain. We complain when he keeps giving frees and then when he's lets everything go. "Jaysus, they're not a bunch as pansies, it isn't soccer" or "Come one Ref!! he was pulling his shirt for feck sake". We can never quite make up our mind.
11) The Kilkenny Hurling team
"Sure, they win it every year for god sake". Everyone around the country rejoiced last years when someone other than Kilkenny won the Mcarthy Cup. Clare were heroes for a month when they toppled Kilkenny.

10) Eamon Dunphy
The world cup starts today and we will all be looking forward to complaining about Eamonn Dunphy's analysis of the game. We all love the hate him... but now and again he is actually right.
9) Traveling Abroad
Us Irish are used to traveling, generations have emigrated far and wide to greener pastures. No matter how many times we travel though, we always leave things to the last minute. Booking our flights, packing, boarding pass and then we forget we left the stove on at home.

8) "Your Man"
"Your know your man? he's after cheating on his wife, awful all together it is". Irish people always complain about "your man" and what he has been up to. Even though we don't have a clue who you're talking about we have to act like we know.
7) The Late Late
No matter what is on the show, there is always something we can find to complain about. We know about how many letters RTE get when Tommy Tiernan comes on the show.

6)When you get poured a bad pint
When someone pours a bad pint they might as well start all over again. There is nothing worse than when a pint is rushed and the head of the pint is wrong. You say to the barman that it's grand, but inside you're raging.
5) Weak Tea
The Irish take their tea very seriously, it is in some ways a fine art. When you ask someone else to make you a cup and they don't make it the way you like, we look at them as if to say "What it is this shit!!

4) Bouncers
We take not being allowed into a club way too seriously, even though it's their job. How many times have we seen some young one from Tallaght going mental because the bouncer said she was locked.
3) Junkies
There is always at least one junkie on every bus, which the bus driver just lets on because he knows they don't have bus fare. "Did you see that state of your man? he was off his head", we always give out about the state of them, even though when we're out on the piss people say that about us.

2) Cans of Druids
"Jaysus, that stuff tastes likes shit, why does anyone drink it?" When you're young, broke and foolish, Druids seems like a great option. Booze isn't meant to taste good, but Druids is the worst of a bad bunch.
1) The Fear
Every Irish person experiences this on a weekly basis, waking up after a night out and not having a clue what happened the night before. Piecing the night together in your head and then you remember ... SHIT!!
