Not behaviour, but the phrase "world class" in relation to footballers is the most irritating, over-used phrase ever.
The urge to learn from and mimic authority figures may be strongest around that age, the urge to conform is surely stronger in later years, late childhood / early teens, no? Surely it's for the most part only in mid to late teens that the individuality urge comes out in some. Yours, Stann Jung.
The point I didn't make too well was that I had no-one at that age to conform with, I knew no other Liverpool fans. Neither, I suspect, did I even have any concept of what a Liverpool fan was. I just liked what I saw on the telly, that's all. Might just have been Stevie Heighway's manly moustache. I object strongly to be termed a sheep because of that. By the way, if your lot had had a bit more luck a few years back they might now be in a position where you're being called a sheep (however incorrectly) for supporting them.
There was nothing to stop me supporting both at the time other than the fact that I was 5 and had no idea there was such a thing as Waterford AFC, nor the wherewithal to get to games if I did. My fault as well I suppose. mmBaaaaaa.

There's laughing at yourself and then there's making a mockery of your heritage and conforming to an offensive, embarrassing and repulsive stereotype, that has been unfairly cast on Irish people for years. I'm also taking about the "We're Irish and were alcoholics" nonsense that goes on too.
They always cheat, they always lie
**** Delaney and the FAI
What exactly has dressing up as a Leprechaun got to do with mocking heritage and conforming to a embarrassing and repulsive stereotype?? Do you suffer from Leprechaunitis? They have nothing to do with alcoholics especially the one below.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

Chewing gum in general should be banned. And blowing (and bursting) bubble gum should be a capital offence.
People who (and bear with me on this one) - have a green light at a crossroads, turn left and then stop in the middle of the junction because they've seen the red light for the cars going the other way. Utter, utter retards. You'd be amazed how many times people do this, particularly when the crossroads isn't a perfect + shape.
Edit - I should probably have phrased that last as a behaviour. Oh well.

also....
People who drive along the hard-shoulder to let traffic pass ....on a dual carriageway!?!
People who attempt to intimidate you onto the hard-shoulder to let them pass, when your'e already at or over the speed limit
People who overtake you because you've left a car length between yourself and the car in front, despite the queue of twenty cars ahead which he has no possibility of getting past (usually this tool pulls off the road at a junction or pertol station within the next half mile).
LTID
To sum up several posts here, I think a lot of us would be a lot happier if there was less driving, therefore, driving is a behaviour that needs to be banned...

That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

I was driving home during the week on the motorway; a jeep pulls out in front of me doing 65mph. After ascertaining that she (and women really are bad drivers, despite how they'll fob that off as sexist) wasn't going to get up to speed, I undertook her (as I'm legally entitled to do). As I passed, I glared in at her to let her know I thought she was a silly wench; she started pointing downwards at me. Once I'd gone past, she flashed her lights at me four times at about 10 second intervals, as if there was a batman-style message written on her lights that I could read. I think she was telling me to turn my lights on at 8 in the evening when it was still bright, but why she had to pull out in front of me to tell me this (or why even she cared), I don't know. People like that should be shot. No appeal.
This is a very therapeutic thread.
Guys who are so lacking in sexual self confidence that when you are driving along at a very respectable 65mph while dressed as an attractive lady they so burningly must pass you that they resort to passing you on the inside, when the only reason you pulled out in front of them in the first place is to point out that they had left their lights off.
Monster ingratitude - last time I'll try to help someone on the roads...
