Things that annoy the HELL out of you.

I'ma be flamed for this but...abortion is always an option. You got like, 5 months to decide really. Technically even more but that's iffy.

 

I just don't understand how people could not be more in favor of abortion. Typically, people are such self-centered jerks. When the time comes to be the ultra-self centered jerk, they refuse. wtf

There are all of those moral, ethical, and social reasons, in addition to some that are undoubtedly incomprehensible to men. Don't think it's as simple as crossing the jerk event horizon. :razz:

[obfuscator]

Well it just seems that prior to things like FB and reality TV shows, if a girl got pregnant on accident, she was socially ostracised. But nowadays such things are celebrated instead, and consequently a lot of kids are being brought into the world w/o a "proper" upbringing, which leads to problems down the road for everybody.

 

But for all I know the statistics could say otherwise and my observations could be wrong :P

 

People who had premarital sex also used to be socially ostracized...that was probably a contributing factor.

[Randox]

She'll receive justice and a half for her choice, whether she claws her way to a better life for her and her child or not. It's not really her fault.

 

You're not suggesting that getting pregnant and choosing to keep the baby isn't her fault are you? Because she's fully responsible for that.

 

Not at all. I mean that it's not her fault that she can't understand the repercussions of the choice to keep the child. She doesn't have the life experience, the perspective, or the mental development required to really understand the gravity of the situation and what this will mean for both her and her child considering a time span that is decades long. She will however have plenty of time to think on all the choices she has made leading up to her present situation, regardless of the support she gets and how she deals with having a child.

One thing that annoys me with xmas family reunions is how people try to force food on you and insist to the point of harassment. It seems like the social convention is to eat everything including things you don't like, out of a sense of politeness. That's just stupid. If I'm not hungry anymore or I dislike a dish, I won't eat it plain and simple.

 

What's ironic is many family members who used to be annoying have had to change their diets due to health reasons. Now they're eating tasteless diet food. Who's laughing now?

[Kirschen]

When I read that, I feel more glad I don't get involved in the Holidays as much as others. It looks far too annoying for what it's worth considering it's a food-related aspect of culture.

 

I'd rather just eat food on one plate and that's it, two if I am feeling in the mood.

[Randox]

I know some people end up eating ridiculous amounts of food to be polite, including more than one dinner in a day. I've never had that problem though, mostly because I have no obligations that would see me seeing two different houses for multiple meals. We have always been host on Christmas, and often on Boxing Day as well. Suits me just fine.

[Kaida23]

It annoys the hell out of me when you change your name faster than I can keep up. :P

 

I do like the new name though. :thumbup:

[jasignhagj]

Apparently there's a limit on how many posts you can like in a day :/

[Kirschen]

It annoys the hell out of me when you change your name faster than I can keep up. :P

 

I do like the new name though. :thumbup:

 

Oddly, I feel very comfortable with this name for some reason.

 

Don't worry though. I'll promise to never change it for your sake. :P

[Star.]

I don't understand the reference to your name... unless there isn't one oops.

 

 

To keep on topic, everything annoys me.

Don't worry. You aren't alone.

I went to the movies last night so here are some movie annoyances.

 

When my family eats half of the popcorn before the movie even starts

When the person directly in front of you decides to check the time every 15 minutes

When the person in your peripheral vision decides to check their messages every 20 minutes

When the family next to you starts to loudly pat their asthmatic child on the back during the second half of the movie

[Randox]

I'm not sure how back patting helps asthma, though it's a brilliant way to kill people who are choking (it's generally only used on infants because they are easy to put into a slightly upside down position, and you can quickly roll them to alternate back slaps with chest compressions. It's also used for people with cystic fibrosis, but again, they need to be somewhat inverted or it sends stuff into your lungs rather than out).

 

I think cellphones in at the movies in general are quite annoying. I've always considered it just a little bit sad that they even have to say things like please don't talk, and please don't text, and turn your stupid phone off.

[Kaida23]

If ever there was a reason for gun control, it's people who use their cell phones at the movies. <_<

 

Like Shepherd Book said, there's a special level of Hell reserved for "child molesters and people who talk at the theater." :lol:

Thanks to you, I'm imagining a circle of hell that's a movie theater that plays nothing but child porn (And Setzer/Friedberg movies, this is hell after all), and it's impossible to see or hear anything because of all of the cell phones and people talking.

How hard it is to find classy/ unobtrusive merchandise relating to shows in general (but especially anime).

 

All I want is a nice watch or keychain that will remind me of my favorite show when I look at it, but also is subtle enough that it can't be seen as such without close inspection/knowledge of the show.

Like a watch holding a subtle outline of a character on its face, or a symbol that's prevalent throughout the show. Not one that has the show's name written across it and a full mugshot of a character on its face.

 

 

Why is this so hard? Does no-one else want to quietly celebrate their favorite shows? How many full body pillows do I need to scroll past to find this?

[Tesset]

The fact that I'm heavier and fatter than I've ever been, and yet I physically can't eat as much. It's not like I'm eating really badly since moving out either; I eat just as healthily as I did at home, just not as much or as frequently.

I hate the ads on this website that are "optimized" for iPad users. The only ads I get are full screen video popups that I can't exit out of for 30 seconds. That and they make it impossible to scroll up and down pages. Who's great idea was that?

[Kaida23]

I'm willing to bet it was an ad executive. ;)

Maybe if you buy the products they'll go away?

I hate this so much, that I'll use my phones smaller screen to browse instead of my iPad...

[Zantareous]

I seem to be the only person that holds this opinion - lanyards. I'll be so glad when that fad dies off.

Everyone and everything that identifies as 'hipster' should be cast into the abyss.

[Ginger_Warrior]

The pure hatred some people feel towards hipsters is one of the most poignant victories of modern day capitalism.

 

It all began decades and decades ago in post-WW2 America, with youths naively believing that they could publish art without the backing of major publishers in the books industry, or major record labels in the music industry, and so long as they made it cheap enough, it was a sustainable method of producing and distributing art. In this system, art was made for art's sake, and commercialisation, such as the use of art in advertising, was rejected. Nowadays, it's quite normal for 'hipsters' to reference to their friends and others within their peer group, with no sense of irony, the exact name of the 'hipster' store they bought their branded 'hipster' clothing, for exactly what hyperinflated price they bought the clothing at.

 

Capitalism has turned a movement which, when it started, was inherently anti-capitalist in nature, into a generation of walking billboards for major commercial brands.

 

Food, water, oil and now the concept of free expression itself. Even if you reject pure capitalism as the fairest model through which to govern a nation's economy as I do, you cannot help but totally awed by its ability to put a price on absolutely anything.

Unfortunately nowadays, "hipster" is just a meaningless label thrown around by obese men who wear cargo shorts to describe anyone who has an alternative taste in music or wears slim-cut jeans.
