Let’s hope we never have to talk about any of these again.
2014 has been an absolutely fantastic year for so many reasons but there are a number of things that really annoyed us in the last 12 months.
We’ve picked out our top 9 things that we hope we’ve seen the back of forever. Please let us by right.
Dubsmash
Yes we know the voice-over app has only appeared on all our radars in the last few weeks, but once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Stop bloody doing them.
Garth Brooks
The country singer and those canceled gig, eh. It was the biggest story of the year and still is a no-go area in certain households in the country.
He broke a lot of heart but he “loves all of us” so that’s fine.
Nek Nominations
The drinking challenge that started out “as a bit of craic” but escalated into a very dangerous game which led to the death of a number of people.
GAA vs Soccer debate
Gaelic football and football (soccer) are too very different sports and they should not be compared.
However, Stephen Hunt decided to bring up that old chestnut again towards the end of the year and it caused major debate. Stop comparing the sports and the players, please accept they’re different.
Selfie Sticks
A stick that you can connect to your phone/camera so everyone can see your face when you’re off having the time of your life.
Sound for that, but we don’t care, plus your head is actually blocking out most of the scenery.
To be honest, we reckon that trend will grow in 2015. Sad face.
People saying “Hashtag” and then a word
We’ll let Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake show you how annoying it is.
Over the top hipster bars
You can’t seem to go into a bar these days without meeting a bearded man with a low-cut top behind a bar that only serves lager that was brewed in treehouse at the foothills of the Bavarian Alps.
We just want a nice pint served by a nice man who will throw a smile and a smart comment at us.
Frozen
What is Frozen? We know it’s a fillum, but we have absolutely no idea why it’s so popular and why grown men are singing songs from it at every available opportunity.
Let it go. Please.
Twerking
Miley Cyrus and the super creepy Robin Thicke brought that to people’s attention in 2013 but now everyone, including your neighbor Margaret, are still at it.
It’s weird and it makes everyone uncomfortable.
