The 7 Biggest Gobshites From Storm Ophelia
For the last time, don't take unnecessary journeys...
Storm Ophelia swept the nation yesterday and emergency services were working overtime to help civilians across the country. Government officials cancelled school, work and anything that would force people to leave their homes. Even though Teresa Mannion and every semi-famous Irish personality with at least 10,000 followers on Snapchat was advising people not to go outside, people STILL went outside or forced others to go outside for them. If you're feeling like a bit of a gobshite here are seven gobshites that take the absolute biscuit.
1. The Happy Pear Lads
and everyone else who went for a swim in the ocean yesterday.

2. Mary Poppins
The amateur Mary Poppins decided it was time to leave Michael and Jane on the worst day of the year.

3. Climate Change Deniers
What does the weather have to do to prove you wrong?
People: Climate change is real - we have to act now!
Other (not smart) people: Yea, still not convinced.
Ophelia: *eye roll* Sorry, Ireland.— Jennifer Ruscelle (@ruscelle) October 17, 2017
4. The Pubs With Drink Specials On Offer
Drinks specials to woo people outside during the worst storm in 50 years? Fab idea!
That’s just fucking irresponsible. #Ophelia pic.twitter.com/99DN19y3x5

5. The Window Cleaners
Literally the last thing anyone would bother to do when there are 120 km winds outside.
Eh mate, not sure now is the right time to silicone your windows and that’s probably not the safest way to do it. pic.twitter.com/zw766OehAN

6. The Garlic Dip Knob
So you want that poor delivery driver to go back out in a storm because you couldn't have your garlic dip?
People are dying and this guy is losing it over a garlic sauce. Don't order food during a storm you eejit. Have some respect. #ophelia pic.twitter.com/eLrykbLzzD

7. Spelling Nazi's
"Sorry, no! We have to stop everything. Lads, stop that tree falling down over there. Can you grab that person who's about to jump into the ocean over there? John, can you press pause on the wind? Great, thanks. This will just take a second, I swear *take a deep breath*. Right, we need to have a chat about the spelling of Ophelia before we go any further. It's REALLY bothering me".
An absolute disgrace that #Ophelia, #Opehlia AND #Opheila are trending. Open the schools at once.

Natural disasters really do bring out the best and worst in people.
