Commercials that make me look like an asshole because i do not own a credit card...dicks!
15 year old moms

People who ask for the salad dressing on the side; put that shit on the salad, damn! Might as well have everything seperated into bowls, so you can pick and choose when you want to eat your cucomber or carrot!

INTERIOR: TATOOINE -- MOS EISLEY -- CANTINA.
The young adventurer and his two mechanical servants follow
Ben Kenobi into the smoke-filled cantina. The murky, moldy den
is filled with a startling array of weird and exotic alien
creatures and monsters at the long metallic bar. At first the
sight is horrifying. One-eyed, thousand-eyed, slimy, furry,
scaly, tentacled, and clawed creatures huddle over drinks. Ben
moves to an empty spot at the bar near a group of repulsive
but human scum. A huge, rough-looking Bartender stops Luke and
the robots.
BARTENDER
We don't serve their kind here!
Luke still recovering from the shock of seeing so many
outlandish creatures, doesn't quite catch the bartender's
drift.

What?
BARTENDER
Your droids. They'll have to wait outside.

:) Have to agree there, Kaeos. Not ALL of them, mind ya...we have some fine, intelligent and articulate young people here, have seen many of them grow up over the past few years. Friends with many of them on myspace, can't help but feel proud for them.
But then go to myspace and click on one of their featured videos. Look at all the no-IQ, hateful, worthless garbage in the comments people leave behind. The internet does NOT take the place of parenting, even BAD parenting which has got to be better than NO parenting. These kids need to have their connections yanked.
I have this small group of snooty little prima-donna bitches that come in most mornings at Starbucks, they're all from one sober treatment home, and they are the worst little f**king twats, acting like they're badass with their Hot Topic (HA! Hot Topic, which is owned by THE GAP!) accessories and face piercings and sense of entitlement. They all act like they think they're on some kind of MTV reality show, and everyone else at the shop (customers, other rehab people, co-workers) hates them as well. When I'm on the espresso bar, they get decaf in their drinks. :)
But I'll go further than that, the entire human race annoys me to no end. The state of sleep and/or unconsciousness that most people seem to wander around in. The complete lack or regard for others, complete unawareness of their surroundings. This need to be right, (as Eckhart Tolle explains, is another form of violence). We are born into this world needy, demanding, self-centered, and it dominates our very psyche. Typified by many things, such as....
This wannabe gangsta culture, as adopted by greedy, lazy, violent, uneducated thugs of every single race. The kind that love to use dollar signs in their spelling, and display the stupidest, ugliest taste in everything material they worship.
Whoever it is that's making people like Britney, Lindsey, Paris, and everyone of their ilk famous. Young America's taste is up its ass.
The fact that I am dwelling too much on this, and not on the present state of (my) life, and that is that I do not have these kinds of people anywhere near me. For that I am grateful.
I could go on, but the thing is, I have to surrender and accept that humanity is like this, and that is the first step in empowerment and living free from it. That is an everyfuckingday exercise.

ANYBODY who can not or will not drive REASONABLY. I don't take a lot of others' driving behaviour personally, I have ways to let it roll off my back, but still....In a place like California..... :mad: !!!!! People who are out to prove something, whatever it is. People who listen to music so loud it becomes a sonic weapon. Wankers that bling their cars with spoilers (that don't belong there) or spinning rims, (which don't belong anywhere). CELL PHONE TALKERS!
People who shop like they drive, ie charging thru tight aisles with shopping carts, people who block aisles with shopping carts, people who walk out in front of others without looking, people walking side by side that approach you from the opposite direction but won't move over to let you by, people who let their kids run wild and tear shit up, scream, rollerskate with those stupid sneakers in stores (HEY! I'M STANDING HERE!), people who pick up stuff and drop it wherever they feel....People that leave shopping carts just anywhere, instead of walking a few extra feet to put it in the collection area....ie, they leave them in the middle of parking spaces, piled up on each other, next to your car, in the middle of the driving lanes....consequentially I like to shop during hours when there are fewer people around. :Smirk:
Oh, here's a good one... people (for whatever reason) that are in those little wheelchair buggy things, who loudly proclaim EXCUSE ME COMING THROUGH, nudging their way through pedestrians. Ugh. http://a604.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/60/m_b93589d33d8dd4318479e6abf497e1cb.gif

The weekend stragglers, whiners, snoots, primadonnas, people that act like they're on vacation, visiting the Magic Kingdom, or expect to be treated as if they were a consumer in the Cold War Era.....more people that are asleep. and CELL PHONE TALKERS! :eek: ! :Tongue: !!!!!

I was once told that the qualities we find deplorable in other people are the things we most dislike about ourselves. :D
That being said, I am annoyed by the hive mentality that seems to have become the norm (I blame too many people living too closely together).
I am annoyed by obviously intelligent people justifying a belief in something by saying, "Because thats the way it is."
I am annoyed at people's unwillingness to actually learn about another culture before condemning it.
I am annoyed at the lack of respect of one man for another. That most people think that fear and respect are the same thing.
I am annoyed by people who look at my life and find it wanting because it doesn't measure up to their version of success.
I am annoyed at corporations who seem to think that upper management is responsible for all success while the little peons who are the public face of the company and are responsible for its success are kept in the dregs.
I am annoyed that I can get worked up by so simple a question.
Most of all, I am annoyed that in this day and age, I still can not find a woman who is willing to let me be me and accept rather than trying to get me to be something I am not.
Um, I clearly have issues.:(

Blanket statements like this annoy me because,
1. It assumes all men don't care about their personal hygiene when clearly some of us do. I would never dream of letting a girl go down on me if I hadn't washed first. And,
2. It also assumes all women are a paragon of hygiene. Come on peeps, we all know that is not the case either.

I don’t want to be on the bad side of Death, but I think you miss my point. I’m not advocating skin tight disco/European pants. I’m just saying I think it looks retarded if your pants fall off because you aren’t holding them up.
Sagging Pants: Hip Hop Trend or Prison Trend? (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/257484/sagging_pants_hip_hop_trend_or_prison.html)
Sagging pants was never meant to be fashionable. Prisoners wear their pants this low because belts are a popular way to commit suicide by hanging oneself, to hang others, or to use as a weapon in fights. Prisoners are also not allowed to have shoestrings for the same reasons. But there is an even more obvious reason why pants are sagging in prison. If the pants are below a man's bottom, it is to introduce to other men that he is homosexual. As Eazy E once said about women in skirts, "For easy access, baby."

some clockwatcher decides to cut-in in front of you, and cruise below the speed
limit to enjoy the scenery. You try, oh you try to pass him. But traffic never lets
up on the other side, and to add insult to injury, a load truck pulls up in front
of him the next mile up, and there I am bending out my neck like a fool trying to see what this guy's problem is. :Angry:
Then when I finally get to the highway, 70 MPH is a joke to me as I try to make
up time driving to work. :mad:

...And the rent on those great, big cardboard boxes the refrigerators come in are outrageous. :D
I used to shop at the grocery store at 3am, after I got done bartending. It was quiet, quick, and convenient, until they decided to start closing at midnight. I've been a loyal customer at this particular store for close to 10 years, and my parents have been shopping there for at least another 8-9 on top of that. We went there because they had the best sale prices, their aisles were organized well, and they always had what we were looking for.
Let me just say that things have changed in the world of groceries around here. :mad:
So I buy four gallons of milk a week. Walmart's everyday price is $2. Pick n' Save's everyday price is $3.39, and their (maybe) once a month sale price is $2.29, limit 2. Now this isn't a Super-Walmart we're talking about here, so I'd like someone to explain to me how they can undersell the grocery store. Whole wheat bread (same brand, same style)- W- $1.69, PS- $3.59. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/660.gif
Piggly Wiggly down the street from my house was always more expensive than PS, because they were half the size and in a more affluent community, so I stopped shopping there years ago.
A few months ago, I started going back. PS- sale price tomatoes, $1.99/lb, Pig- $.99. My favorite brand of coffee, Berres Brothers, $8.99/lb at PS, $6.99/lb at the Pig.
I am not going to even get started on Sentry.
So here I am, getting pissed off because PS still does have some great deals, so I can't stop shopping there altogether. Why in the hell should I have to shop at 3-4 stores a week to get good prices? Besides that, PS has bought out or built a new store at least every 5 miles around here, so they are getting the reputation of monopolizing the grocery industry in this area. (Ok, maybe I am spreading that around, but they're earning it.)
So anyways, that's not even why I am really pissed off. I have been a loyal customer for over 9 years, and yet, 9/10 receipts have something priced wrong. If cashier A is working, then they refund the money and I get the item free. If cashier B is working, I wait for 10 minutes for them to figure out the problem while my ice cream melts, and I still don't get the item free.
Speaking of cashiers, shouldn't simple fucking math skills be a requirement to getting a job handling money? If cashier B types in that I gave her exact change, let's say $34.67, instead of the $40 I actually gave her, I'll be waiting another 5 minutes while I say $5.33 repeatedly and they try to count the change on their fingers. (This isn't just teens, either. I've had 50 year old women do the same thing.) http://www.websmileys.com/sm/crazy/484.gif
Moving on... I only buy things that are on sale, so I am looking for the sale price tags. Well, sometimes the employees don't get around to hanging the tags, or start taking them down early for the next sale, so it's a price guessing game that I win or lose at the cash register. And it's not like I can walk around with their ad (of which I receive 3 a week), because most of their sale items aren't even in it. Let's not forget the trick sales. One week Ritz is 4 boxes for $9. Week 2- 4 for $10. Week 3- 4 for $11. If you don't know what a good deal is, you're getting screwed, which is basically the motto of the store these days- Get Screwed!
The store brand used to be the way to go for cereal. A box of Honey Bunches of Oats runs around $3.50 regular price. The store brand used to be $1.50 a box. Within the last year, the price of all the store brand cereals has matched the brand names. Seriously? WTF? What happened to generic brands being cheaper?
Does anyone remember Old Time or Jolly Good or Grandpa Graf's soda? They were the cheapest soda you could buy, and you would pick your individual flavors and build your own case one can at a time. Apparently, cheap soda is taking space away from overpriced bottled water, so they no longer even carry it. :mad:
Expired fucking food. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/1335.gif I have seriously walked in to buy yogurt on sale or(the rare occasion I don't buy frozen) a carton of oj, and found only expired products on the shelf. I don't mean 1 or 2, either. I mean all of them. And if they aren't outdated, then they are a day or two away from it. These are items you can usually buy with at least a month before they expire. Whenever I comment about it to the stockboys, they give me dirty looks and rearrange the stuff. Yes, I said rearrange, not remove. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/mad/434.gif
The worst part is that when I first moved out and started buying my own groceries, I could feed myself and my bf (and company a couple nights a week) for $100 a month. Now, I am spending about $70 a week, and we don't have company over. The boy doesn't eat much, and we're not buying baby food or anything like that any more. For fuck's sake- a dozen large eggs is $1.40 now!
I understand that with gas prices tripling (and then some) in the last 8 years, that shipping has raised the prices. Hurricanes, drought, flood, wildfires, etc. I get it. What I don't get, is how the government says inflation is somewhere around 2.7-2.8 percent a year. Seriously? Seriously. :mad: I know it costs me 3 times as much to fill my gas tank in the last 8 years. 2-3 times for a gallon of milk. 3 times for a loaf of bread. 3 times for ground beef. 3 times for chicken. Movie tickets have gone up 3-4 dollars. Heating my home in winter has at least doubled, and even tripled, and it sure as fuck hasn't been colder.
I am sick of being ripped off.
Oh, and let me just add this little bit about public fucking restrooms.
Ladies- the toilet seat wouldn't be so fucking disgusting if you would just SIT DOWN! As someone who has cleaned public restrooms, I know they are cleaned (most of them) at least once a day. How often is yours cleaned at home? I bet the local public toilet seat is cleaner than your keyboard at work, yet you punch keys on it and take bites of food, touch your face, play with your contacts, etc. Better yet, you go to the trouble of hovering over that seat, and out of fear of contaminants, don't wash your hands in the bathroom and use purell or something like it once you get out of the bathroom (I hope). Then again, I used a bathroom at a bar and caught the bartender coming out without washing her hands and then went back to work where she promptly squeezed a lemon in a drink. (I left after that.)
I went to the zoo on Friday and used a stall right after this fucking woman who obviously squatted over the seat. Why do I say obviously? Because there was piss all over the back of the seat. I hope the bitch got some fucking backsplash on her khakis. She didn't even bother to wash her hands. What the fuck? This is a goddamned epidemic. Everywhere I go, piss on the seat. If all you bitches would just sit the fuck down, the toilet seats wouldn't be so gross. :mad:
Why are people so fucking disgusting?

Wow! Now that was a rant! :)
The thing that annoys me the most? More than anything else on this world? Whining!
No, not ranting, but actual whining! Oh my fucking God! I know kids do it. Thats part of how kids communicate. You do your best to get them out of it because it is annoying. Still, its not that that bothers me.
No, its my GFs incessant whining! Why does a supposed adult do that? How old are you! To me, there is nothing worse than that. I would rather run nails down a chalkboard than listen to whine about whatever imaginary sickness or pain she is dealing with.
We interrupt this rant for a brief update: Before I come across as an insensitive ass, I should like to point out that my GF has headaches every other day, is coming down with something every four days, and is constantly dying (her words), all of these things which are annoying in and of themselves.
We now return to our regularly scheduled rant:
When I call home before leaving work she whines: I'm hungry. Feed me. When its hot: I'm dying. YOU have to do something. When she can't find something: Where did YOU hide it, as if I spend my time hiding things from her to make her life more miserable! Graaaghhhh!!!! Stop being a stupid little...

Only single as in not married, but I was with my bf for 3 years before we got pregnant, I was 25 when I had my son, and we are still together now. :Dunno:
The last thing I want is to have a grandchild at 40 because he wants to get his dick wet in high school. My freshman year of high school there were 20 girls pregnant at the same time. Most of them were friends and did it on purpose because they thought it would be cool to raise their kids together. My old high school has a day care now, because being teenaged parents is trendy. My son will not be joining that trend, even if I have to be a hypocrite. :mad:

Had I spent any real time with my girlfriend I would have realized she is not someone I want to spend the rest of my life with. However, she got pregnant a month after we started dating (bad information of birth control, but my Mom says it was more likely she got pregnant on purpose). It wasn't until I had been living with her that I realized I didn't want to be with her and I was going to break up with her. The night I was going to do this, she told me she was pregnant again. So now I have two beautiful little boys with her that I can't stand the thought of being parted with.
So I tolerate her. This is made much easier by the fact that she goes to school in the morning and I work at night and then she works the entire weekend while I have it off. So, I hardly see her except for those rare days that I have a short shift o rshe gets out of school early.
I am so sad. :shakehead:

Calling back to Kahlan's post earlier about groceries, something came up today.
I never buy just a half gallon of milk. Duh. My kids go through a gallon of milk every two days. No biggie. Being in "farmland", NY milk is fairly cheap, usuall about $1.89. Cool.
We're gearing up for a out of town trip and didn't quite have enough milk to get through till we leave so I decided to stop at the store and get.... a half gallon. Cool. just enough for breakfast and lunch tomorrow. Good suff.
Now comes the part where I get annoyed.
If a gallon of milk is $1.89, WHO THE F@#$ DECIDED A 1/2 GALLON SHOULD COST $1.79?!?!?!?
Ounce for ounce, I bought half the product and likely alomst half the fucking plastic and paid almost the exact same goddam price!

Thats like buying a bottle of pop. A 20 oz. one will cost you $1.39 plus tax inside the store, but a straight dollar in the vending machine outside. Even better, a one liter bottle will cost you about $1.89 while the two liter costs (normally) $1.49. The 2 liters are usually on sale, though, 10 for $10. Sad as that is, the store (Safeway) will run out of 1 liters long before the bigger bottles run out.
Farmland, K? I live in WISCONSIN! Up until maybe 10 years ago, WE were The Dairy State, and much of our state is still devoted to farming, so explain $3+ a gallon of milk to me.
Kaeos
06-05-2007, 05:10 AM
I guess I can only speak for our local economy, our county has some long standing rules about subisdizing "local" farmers to keep produce and dairy off the trucks. Our major grocery chain is called Wegmans which is one of the top in the country and they do the same thing - buying only from local farmers.
$3 sucks, no doubt. :(
neglet
06-05-2007, 05:27 AM
Don't fool yourselves--the grocery industry is a cutthroat business. They regularly make something like a 1% profit margin on their sales, sometimes less. So they draw in customers with weekly specials, pricing staples like milk under cost so that they can get the rest of your grocery dollars.
In my area, for instance, milk always stays at a steady price at Sam's Club (because that's their shtick--consistent, low, bulk prices). So lately it's been around $2.25 for a gallon of skim (interestingly, higher fat content costs more). But often I can find milk for $2/gal at local grocery stores or even the drugstore. There's one local chain that sometimes even has a special for $1.75/gal, limit 2 gallons. Their other prices aren't great, but I still shop there sometimes for specialty foods.
I don't mind hunting around for cheaper milk, because I'd rather make 3 20-minute trips to the store every week rather than one 1-hour trip for groceries. So I do hunt and pick prices on staples. If something is a really good buy, I buy lots (I have an extra freezer and lots of cabinet space, lucky me). I buy generic of most things, because it's cheaper and usually there's not a major difference in quality.
The thing that drives me nuts at the grocery store is when they never have enough cashiers at checkout. I hate that.

I can get frustrated easily, I guess you can call it one of my low points. But I find that I cannot go shopping for more then an hour before I start loosing it. Especially with big stores, Safeway, Best Buy, Albertsons and so on. :mad:
But the ones that really do it for me and I honestly feel like blowing up the stores are Target, Walmart(which i personally feel the devil created) and K-Mart. Fucking down right loath them. I could talk about why I do not like them, but they are more or less a lot of small things that just add up to me wanting to kill, kill. :mad:
I have refused to go into Walmart for about a year now, and do not see me going there anytime soon. I can somewhat tolerate Target, if it is early, so I can do my shopping before the mom with 4 kids and babysitting 3 others come into the store........:mad:

Farmland, K? I live in WISCONSIN! Up until maybe 10 years ago, WE were The Dairy State, and much of our state is still devoted to farming, so explain $3+ a gallon of milk to me.
Part of what I do for a living involves following commodity prices. I don't pay a lot of attention to dairy but from the little data that crosses my desk, it looks like milk producers in many parts of North America (Wisconsin included) are in the process of playing catch-up after selling milk at or below cost for years.
During the lean years, many family farms neglected their business, failing to upgrade equipment, repair or build new barns etc., mainly because it would have ploughed them under. I've read about dairy farms in Canada and the U.S. that are still using turn of the century barns ... and I'm not talking about the 21st century.
Higher prices mean they can start investing in their business again.
It's good for consumers because if all of the small and medium raw milk producers vanish - the big industrial farms will get a stranglehold on the market. Then watch prices skyrocket!
Another reason for the high prices is farmers aren't expanding their herds. That means milk production isn't increasing but demand is - especially for industrial milk used for cheese. A secondary factor has to do with the ban on cattle imports from Canada which affects the cost of animal replacement. Some farmers simply sold their cattle while the getting was good.
The appended article is a bit weighty - but intersting if you care about your food and where it comes from.

Dude, don;t sweat it.....as you can see I haven't been able to type a proper apostrpohy for years and I am not even sure if I spelled apostrophy right. But it's all in fun man, don;t take it personally.

And GD, everyone makes typos. Even me. I don't waste my time with mere typos. (Unless you pay me. I am a professional editor, after all.) I don't waste my time with illiterates who were sleeping in English class and wouldn't understand me even if I did correct their grammar. (You don't know who you are, unfortunately.)
Occasionally, however, I feel compelled to point out that someone is abusing the language to the point of incomprehensibility. If you find yourself on the receiving end of one of my grammar spankings, consider it a badge of honor. It means I consider what you have to say worth listening to, if only you would remove the grammatical abuses that make my brain ache.

What doesn't annoy me is that Disney finally got it's tongue out of the Marlboro Man's ass and they are removing any depictions of smoking from their G rated films. Some other Studios are considering similar moves.
With any luck maybe they will get their shit together enough to pull smoking from PG13 movies as well. "We don't market to kids" bullshit.:mad:

08-06-2007, 06:04 AM
I don't believe that smoking in films should earn an R rating, though, anymore than I believe that drinking in films should.
I certainly don't believe that it should be glorified, or that you should always see "the good guy" with a *** in his mouth, and I'd have difficulty believing that you'd see a lot of smoking in a film set in contemporary times. However, if Disney (or Buena Vista, whatever) had a movie that was set, say in the 20's or 30's, or even the 70's, I'd find it odd to not see a single person smoking. It's what they did.

You know what annoys me? Morons who don't think traffic rules apply to them. They're rebuilding a bridge on the main road near my house, so they've cut five lanes down to two. Now, there is a sign when you enter the construction saying "no left turn through construction zone." There are about four more red-slashed no left turn signs placed along the route. And yet, every single time I drive through that area, there's some f*cking idiot sitting there, trying to turn left, blocking the flow of traffic. Listen, asshole, if you really really really need to get your McDonald's or BK mojo going, it's not going to hurt you to drive half a block to the traffic light, take a legal left, and then enter the strip mall from the other end. Use the time to debate whether you should Super Size and then decide no, so maybe you won't have so much FAT in your HEAD that makes you think the RULES don't apply to YOU!

I love it when I'm getting on the exit ramp and someone dives over three lanes of traffic, almost plunges over the other side of the ramp (Austin's freeways are raised), and then slams on his or her brake to the posted 30 miles an hour, ensuring a near death experience for both of us rather than take the next exit up and turn around. I think only my preternaturally low blood pressure saves me from going into cardiac arrest every time, because there is just nothing scarier.
I also hate it when I get in the fast lane and settle into my natural speed of about 75 miles an hour and someone in the FAST. LANE. is going 50. That just makes me want to eat babies.

She is Canadian and it seems she hates everything from the US (nevermind that she sells her 'farm products' to the US). This thread was about the Ireland problems, no one mentioned the US at all.
She has a tendancy to do this. She hates that so and so sport hunts, because 'it's bad to kill animals you are not going to eat'.....yet her farm is a mink farm. :headscratch: Call me god damned dumb but how many people eat mink?:headscratch:

Dial up.
I haven't used dial up since, you know, the early 90s. I was over at my friend's house once and I was telling him he should get AIM so we could talk sometimes online when he leaves the country. We were both drunk and so he decides that 3 in the morning was the perfect time to download AIM. So he booted up his computer. And it's a dial up. Downloading AIM literally took almost an hour. It was literally the longest fucking hour I have spent just watching that blue bar inch its way across the screen. At that point, I understood what hell was. Waiting for AIM to download on a dial up while drunk and being bored to death by some hapless conversation when all you want to do is go to bed.

You mean Prince William and I could have gone out on a date when he was 16 ????? :eek:
:rolleyes:
Seriously, I don't understand the attraction. I remember being 16 and dating a 20 year old. I took a 23 year old to my sophomore TWIRP dance. (I had a bet going. I won.) I never saw it as a problem. Then I became 20, and 23, and now 27. The LAST thing I would ever want is a teenager. ~shudder~ What the hell would I want with a boy when I could have a man? Unfortunately, men don't seem to think that way. You guys want to get at 'em young and be the first to corrupt them.
I just can't get my mind around it. It feels yucky. I used to program heating and air conditioning systems, so I basically worked all over the place. I had to work in a high school for a few weeks and was constantly catcalled and followed around by packs of football players. One day I just turned around and said, "I started smoking when you were in diapers. Walk away." (Of course, now it would be "before you were conceived", but anyways...) You guys, on the other hand, would be trying to get numbers, figuring out how far you could go with them without their parents finding out and getting you put in jail.

Hear hear. I can't remember the last time I was hit on by a guy under 30, but that's men-are-pigs in a different direction, a little. Why do older men like young girls? I'm more mature and smarter than most 18-year-olds, but the creepy old guys at any of my past workplaces don't know that. Of course, teenage guys suck too these days. The ones that aren't dumbasses are usually so shy I have no clue they like me until five months later, when one of their friends is like har har, wasn't it hilarious when whatsisface had a crush on you, and I'm like what? I'd totally have hit that.

I fit my stuff coming here in a crate and a pair of suitcases, plus a printer box. Now it's that stuff plus my entire hamper full of clothes, several bags of miscellaneous crap, I STILL have probably another two boxes' worth of books, and I haven't even packed my bedding yet (because my friend is sleeping on it. EVEN THOUGH HE PROMISED TO HELP ME. Dick.). Where did I pick up all this crap? How did I do it? I don't have any money. Did I just spontaneously generate it all? Why does this power only manifest when I have to pack everything into the admittedly roomier than you'd expect trunk of a Volkswagen? Why not when I'm on a social crusade trying to end world hunger? WHY?
Get used to it. I moved 6 times between 19 and 25. It sucks. You always have more than the last time.
I hate the sound people make when they chew. I got home from work on Wednesday and the bf was eating cereal and I had to walk in the other room to keep from throwing up/strangling him. I realize that people have to eat to live, but couldn't they do it quietly? :mad:

Seriously, I don't understand the attraction. I remember being 16 and dating a 20 year old. I took a 23 year old to my sophomore TWIRP dance. (I had a bet going. I won.) I never saw it as a problem. Then I became 20, and 23, and now 27. The LAST thing I would ever want is a teenager. ~shudder~ What the hell would I want with a boy when I could have a man? Unfortunately, men don't seem to think that way. You guys want to get at 'em young and be the first to corrupt them.
I just can't get my mind around it. It feels yucky. I used to program heating and air conditioning systems, so I basically worked all over the place. I had to work in a high school for a few weeks and was constantly catcalled and followed around by packs of football players. One day I just turned around and said, "I started smoking when you were in diapers. Walk away." (Of course, now it would be "before you were conceived", but anyways...) You guys, on the other hand, would be trying to get numbers, figuring out how far you could go with them without their parents finding out and getting you put in jail.
Sorry, I was rambling there for a bit. What I really meant to say was, "Men are pigs."
Hear hear. I can't remember the last time I was hit on by a guy under 30, but that's men-are-pigs in a different direction, a little. Why do older men like young girls? I'm more mature and smarter than most 18-year-olds, but the creepy old guys at any of my past workplaces don't know that. Of course, teenage guys suck too these days. The ones that aren't dumbasses are usually so shy I have no clue they like me until five months later, when one of their friends is like har har, wasn't it hilarious when whatsisface had a crush on you, and I'm like what? I'd totally have hit that.

Alright, I'll say what annoys me.
Grammar mistakes and people whom think they need to correct me.
I'm sorry if this offends some people but I'm fucking pissed at times when someone comes out of nowhere to correct something.
It would be one thing if I didn't correctly pronounce something every single time but as news man, I have to admit to being under a limited timeframe.
I have two people over at the main site side (mania.com, the site that pays for the bills) who now want to dissect one sentence where I may make a mistake.
No matter if I've already made it very fuckin clear that I am not effing perfect up to this point. That doesn't matter, right, when someone wants to insert their ego into the equation and point out how vastly intelligent they are while insulting the other person?
I think for the most part, everyone in this community knows everyone. If I come along and type something up very quickly....."The director beinng a...."....the other community member knows I was in a hurry when I typed "beinng" instead of "being".
Case in point....Last night at 4 am in the effing morning...I wrote "aloud" instead of "allowed"....
Some anal asshole responded...not over the subject matter, being BATMAN....no, they responded that I was a fuckin wannabe whom didn't know there was such a word as "ALLOWED" in the current dictionary.
THAT's what really annoys the shit out of me, folks.
I'm well aware there is a word like "allowed" as compared to "aloud" that means two different contexts.....It's the people that come along and feel the need to point out that obvious point never thinking for a second that it was a honest mistake with someone in a hurry......that annoys the shit out of me.
Understand, I love thinking that I won't make a mistake occassionally. Also understand that I know I will never be that perfect. Everyone makes mistakes...Even best selling authors (Stephen King, Greg Bear, etc).....Everyone makes mistakes....
Why some asshole has to come along and tell me how I'm such a dipshit for making one mistake ....is quite literally beyond me.

They need to relieve their egos by pointing out how intelligent they are....

Perhaps it's not so much that they are correcting you as opposed to the tone that they use while doing it.
I'm sure that we all want Mania to be presented as a professional organization, and nothing screams "amateur" quite like completely misusing a word. Perhaps these two individuals' criticism stems from a sincere love for the site (and perhaps your genetalia) and simply wish to help improve the perception of the site in the eyes of the public at large.
I expect that their emails go something like this: "DarkJedi, I was just reading the article you posted at 4 am on The Dark Knight, and I can't believe that you don't know that the right word is "allowed," not "aloud"!!111! Try using a dicshionary next time!"
When, really, if they'd just taken a cue from James Gunn and written something like this, they'd have gotten their point across more effectively, and you'd feel better about them and yourself:
"DJ, you cocksucker, I wanted to tell you that I loved the article you wrote on Batman or The Dark Knight. I honestly forget which because I kept getting distracted by your misuse of the word "aloud." I know you wrote the article at 4am and that you work a "real" job, and I appreciate all the hard work you put into giving us our enterainment news, and heck, a mistake or two is bound to slip through when you proofread your own material. Nevertheless, this kind of mistake can, in my opinion, lower people's opinion of the site, and I'd hate to see that happen, so I wanted to bring the error to your attention. Cocksucker, you do a great job here, and I appreciate all of your hard work!"
See? Isn't that much better?

Oh DJ, I'd hoped my words of encouragement would cheer you up. Alas, I see that they did not, as evidenced by the lack of a spring in your step and frivolity in your tone.
Perhaps you could tell them that you know someone who would just as soon find out where they live, break into their houses and anally violate them in their beds as read their bickering about the occasional grammatical error. If they'd like to spout off on grammatical errors, they may do so in the forums. Oh, and in the meantime, they can blow me.

Jakester
08-14-2007, 08:39 AM
Oh, nothing bothers me more (well, okay, a lot of things bother me more) than seeing grammatical errors in a publication that purports to be professional. I'm not so much talking about ending a sentence with a preposition, or some of the more obscure rules of grammar that my wife loves, but more those ones that involve completely misucing a word, like they're/their, you're/your, or saying things like "for all intensive purposes" or "how was I suppose to know?". It's "intents and purposes" and "supposed to know."
How, I totally understand DJ's position -- it's 4am, and he's out of his mind from fatigue, and he types the wrong word. The proper thing for a reader to do would be to send DJ a PM and say "Hi, I noticed that where you meant to type 'allowed,' you typed 'aloud.' You probably missed it when you were proffreading, so I thought I'd let you know."
I expect that would have made DJ a lot less irritable.

It's only in recent years that I've managed to control my obsessive editing of everything and everyone. I've even started ending sentences with prepositions and using "there's" in conjunction with plural nouns.
God, I'm a nerd.
Perhaps both problems could be solved if you (DJ, not Jake) had someone else give your work a quick read-through before press time? That way, the curbside proffreader would have less to bitch annoyingly about, the story itself would be that much cleaner, and you wouldn't have that lovely aneurysm budding in your brain, which is always a good thing. I can never proofread my own work. I do this thing where I completely leave out words, but in my head I put them back in, even when I read it out loud to myself. It does slow down the process to have a second reader, though.

I truly weep for humanity. You see those poeple who post in talkback and such, and wonder how they managed to build up the necessary synaptic energy to turn on the computer.
I occasionally read the website for my old hometown newspaper. For example, there's a law set to go into effect that was pushed through by a group called Citizens for Community Values that forces strip clubs in Ohio to close between midnight and 6 a.m. Those with liquor licenses could stay open until last call, but nudity would be banned after midnight.
My thoughts on the issues aside, the talkback section makes me wonder. I lurk on Fark, and you see people post things that are so far out there. Honestly, on Fark, I assume it's a bit. People are just playing a persona, much like Jakester does. But on a little nothing local news website, I have to assume these people are REAL. This includes the idiot who uses a comma after every word and tells people to go to god, not strip clubs. This includes the raging hatemongers, the overbearing biblethumpers, the bleeding heart liberals, the stoned-out fratboys and all the others.
I can't believe these people 1) actually exist and 2) are that way in real life. However, since they aren't playing to any audience, I must conclude that they'd say the same things and have the same opinions if the subject of whatever was brought up in casual conversation at work or a bar. Are these people out there and I've just had the good fortune to either not meet them or ignore them? Or is it true, that the anonymity of the internet lets people say whatever they want with no repercussion? And if so, where is society heading where people get that norm set into theirselves and take it to the real world. Can you imagine a world where people just talk in ALLCAPS and viciously attack people who disagree with them?
I watch Idiocracy a while back, and while it wasn't great, the picture it painted for the future each day becomes more and more chillingly possible. :Tongue:

So true. With internet slang so popular these days, who's to say it won't or can't happen 500 years from now. I actually heard someone say "LOL" once aloud in a Walmart once.

One of my friends, an otherwise intelligent young lady named Mary, will speak the little actions people put inside asterisks. You know how some people will go *blink*? She says "blink." She also says "LOL" and "LMAO." And "BRB."
It makes me want to stab her a little. I'm trying to train her out of it.
On the other hand, though, what's to stop internet slang from becoming standardized English? Language is first and foremost a means for communication, and if this is how we communicate, shouldn't it be annexed into English, even if it makes me cringe? There's already a precedent for made-up words and acronyms -- scuba, radar, and tip were all once acronyms, and Shakespeare made up 1700 words himself. Just made 'em up. Not weird words, but things like "generous" and
"bittersweet" and "amazement" and "advertising."
Or maybe we should get an English Académie Française. This would give me something to do after I exhaust graduate school, at least.
