Traffic cops are well known to be the a***h***s of the force. Even "normal" guards will tell you that the traffic guys are just dicks. Don't know why. Maybe there's something about Dublin Castle that sends them on a power trip.

But yeah, generally speaking as you grow older and another generation or two comes in behind you, tolerance for them diminishes and you become your parents .... disapproving of everything they do. I often dispair at the "music" they listen to these days, it's pure rubbish .... there's no substance to it at all.

My favourite gripe though is with the younger generation of Aer Lingus cabin crew. There aren't many of them (most AL cabin crew are old women) but for what there are of them I find them to be the most ignorant stuck up b*****s on the face of the planet. Seems they think that passengers are just an inconvenience to be tolerated. Sour pusses.
