The Dole’s an aspiration for you after that joke bud..
Well, that’s like your opinion man
Scarlet for ya, abysmal effort
Look man, we all know what you’re getting at, but this is shite
lol, that was fairly cringe
People might be under the illusion that there are too many people on the dole in Ireland but there are very few relative to the total population, somewhere under 190,000, and then there’s the fact that always escapes people which is that it isn’t necessarily all the same people on it from one month to the next, there is a constant number within which there is a proportion of people who sign off and are subsequently replaced by different people.
Industry subsidies, like HAP or the 9% VAT for hospitality or 0% for the newspapers, are never considered welfare either, it’s only the individual on the bottom wrung who needs a bit of help that gets shamed for it, often by the likes of Pat Kenny on Newstalk.
Multi millionaires wear them in public too but sure keep punching down on the less fortunate
Or also women ready to pop going into their last few clinic appointments at the hospital, I’m 33 weeks and I’ll be damned if I’m buying more clothes that fit stupidly when it’s going to get destroyed in gel anyways
Person posting this probably walks around with a pair of gym sweats pants on everyday which is basically the same thing but go on you punching down….
cringe facebook humor lol this subreddit is cringe as fuck 99% of the time.
I was made unemployed last year, found myself on the dole for about 2 months. It was one of the more difficult periods of my life looking back, even though I managed to stick a brave face on it.
The number of people who are able bodied and long term unemployed is a pretty low percentage of welfare recipients. I think the majority of people getting government money are experiencing similar situations to what I went through.
One foot in the retirement home with this post grandad.
Stuff like this isn’t funny it just portrays you as a judgemental prick.
Fuck off back to Facebook with this shite.
Classist.
Whomever posted this is a horrible cunt. It’s great we live in a state that actually takes care of people made unemployed. Had to go on the dole once years ago and being where I’m from people thought the same as this poster about me and since then I have never been out of work and pay a fuck ton of tax every month.
Bang of dad posting in the family WhatsApp group off this post
OP has limited sociocultural awareness.
Facebook is leaking again.
Wearing PJs is great though.
This post is peak snobbery and can really be summed up as ”the garb of the peasantry displeases me”.
Classist bullshit
It never ceases to amaze me the degree to which some people in this country are completely mentally consumed by the capitalist machine. Absolute peasant mentality that the upper crust cackles at with glee. Imagine being angry at someone because they don’t have a boss. Worse yet is thinking that you are morally superior to someone because you answer to someone’s beck and call, for what, for money. ”I eat when I’m told to eat, my bedtime is set according to when I’m told to start working the next day”. The average Joe, like me and you, spend their entire working life either under the direct or indirect control of a ”boss”. Every facet of life is approportionate timewise to work. You are not better than someone because you’ve bought into the rat race. Working a job you hate to buy a nice house you don’t need, a car to impress people you either don’t know or don’t like. This is not a virtue, either is being jobless but at least the unemployed have the sense to know that.
Whoever posted this takes baths with their da.
Absolute state of this
I like this template, but hate the meme. Classist bullshit, and ill-informed.
On the dole rn, meeting tomorrow where I imagine I’m about to be cut off and I guess I deserve it. I’d really rather not be here. Homelessness seemingly isn’t enough to motivate me, I’m failing on almost every single level in life, not trying to scam anyone just in a horrible place mentally. Anyway idk what the point is. OP probably coping over a job they hate.
The biggest scammers in this country wear suits, not pajamas.
I stopped caring about this during the pandemic. Dole or no dole I’m being comfy and warm in my down time. No doubt. Sometimes down time involves going to the shop.
Maybe don’t be so judgemental, I often go out in my pyjamas, not in public per say but in the car driving, not because I’m lazy or on the dole but because I have a brain disease and to be honest it takes too much energy to go upstairs and get dressed. Energy that I would rather use on loading the dishwasher or cooking dinner, jesus even having a shower takes most of my energy and is something I need to spend hours working up too. Some people don’t have the luxury of a perfectly working body so do what they need to do to get through the day.

Christ, I’m embarrassed for you.
This feels like an Elon Musk effort.
Decaying, old, old, musty humour
Even my cringe cringed.
