F-U-P-P O-F-F. Fupp off ya grasshole!

Smoking, cursing and picking flowers have been outlawed by the Waterford City and County Council.

These precautionary measures have been implemented to curb any anti-social behaviour that might arise in the parks.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Waterford City West Fine Gael councillor Lola O’Sullivan said, “as a parent of a young child, obviously you want the best when you bring your child to a public park or a public area… You don’t want the obvious things like drinking, anti social behaviour, of course. But you don’t want people cursing around your child either or using abusive language. You want people to be respectful.

“If you go to any public place and people are being loud, shouting, using abusive language, personally I’d feel very intimidated.”

So heads up, if you feel like letting off steam, or need a good roar, Waterford Parks are not the place to go.

You could always take up Yoga? Or just place a MASSIVE swear jar in the middle of the park. You’d make a f*ckin’ fortune in no time.

Other activities which are banned are begging, gambling, behaving indecently, any kind of BBQ, bonfires, fireworks, and anyone with a firearm, airgun or catapult.

“We’ve covered every angle,” Ms O’Sullivan told the Irish Examiner.

The flowers are another thing intensely guarded in these super safe parks, with fines for picking flowers of €1,270.

You could buy a fine bouquet with that kind of cash.

The rules will be enforced from August 1 and they will be implemented by the Park attendees and the Gardai.

We feel like we’ve seen this somewhere before…
