Top Ten LEAST Favourite "Things" [Archive]

I enjoy whinging a lot. It's something I do best. So to mirror the Top Ten Favourite "Things" thread, I decided to vent some rage.

No particular order:

1. Fat people at the cinema
I'm not talking about the causually obese, I'm talking full on Jabba the Hutt, snoring whilst awake, turbo-obese. I can luckily say that I haven't encountered many, but the few times I have I've wanted to just slap them upside their many chins and yell "Stop being fat, you're ruining my day"

2. People who cast children on TV
Not the children themselves, it's not their fault they're pricks. All children on TV are bellends (with the exception of the kid from Mercury Rising, he was totally boss), but they don't know better so they can be forgiven. But the people who choose the children should be forced to consider a different carreer.

3. People who drive and have no idea what the fuck they're doing
Twice now I've been driving along and notice a car creeping out of a junction. "It's ok" I think to myself "They'll see me in a bit and stop". Oh no, they're fully committed to ramming into the side of me. Arseholes. There really should be some sort of test to sort out who can drive and who can't.

4. Stubbing my toe
It seems to send everyone who experiences it into a blind rage. I stubbed my little toe so hard once that I snapped it clean in half. The nurse who did the x-ray was clearly impressed by my toe snapping abilities.

5. American/Hollywood remakes of stuff
There is to be an American Inbetweeners. That's all the justification I need.

6. Snoring
You're how old now? And you haven't mastered breathing yet? Fuck off. Go on. Fuck off over there somewhere.

7. Idiots on Facebook/the internet in general
Ian Huntley doesn't have Facebook, Facebook won't close if you don't join the group, Facebook won't charge. Do some god damn research before being a twat. The best case I ever saw of this was the chain letter saying that the Grant a Wish Foundation would donate a certain amount for a cure to a dying child based on how many times the letter was forwarded. A few problems with that:

What sort of tight fisted arsehole would only give money if a letter was forwarded?

The grant a wish foundation don't work with cures. They only give a dying child one last great experience.

How could they track who it had been forwarded to?

8. Txt Spk on anything other than text messages
Nothing screams "I'm a special" more than typing like a spacker.

9. That one friend everyone has that no one wants around
Everyone knows someone like this. If you don't, then chances are it's you. Why can't they just take the hint and go "do one"?

10. Anti piracy adverts in the cinema
I've just payed an arm and a leg to get in, sat through countless adverts and now you're telling me to do the right thing and not watch the pirated version? Christ, I wish I had watched the pirated version now. "Love movies, hate piracy" Don't tell me what to like and what to hate. I don't like it.

I really am a miserable bastard.

I don't mean to worry you, but if you haven't taken one of these you may be breaking a law of some sort.

I think he's talking about people who have taken the test but forgot how to drive, and randomly re-testing people.

That's complaining for complainings sake.

It's not like there's pros and cons to piracy vs. seeing the film on screen. :heh: One is shit and just...bad, one is brilliant.

Oh yeah, I love seeing films at the cinema. I go a few times a week, but it seems like it's getting worse and worse. Half hours worth of adverts (not including trailers), putting up with fat people behind me barging my seat whilst struggling to fit into theirs and then to be told "Don't watch pirated copies"? Thats almost an insult. I have to put up with enough to go see the film as it is, I certainly don't want to watch a threatening, all doom and gloom ad about piracy when I've already done what they ask.

I think he's talking about people who have taken the test but forgot how to drive, and randomly re-testing people.

Actually I was just taking the piss, but randomly retesting people would be a good idea. Although if they could leave out the bit about not crossing your hands over that would be good. No one who has been driving for more than a month sticks to that.

pet names - my aunt and uncle used to call each other things like "pookie" and "fluffy-bunnykins" ...:blank: even fairly standard ones like "babe" or "sugar" make me wanna curl up and eat my own feet. jamba's mastered calling me honey, and can just about call me baby...occasionally... without me snapping in half.
groups of rude kids - they're only brave enough to be complete and utter little SHITS when they're in a group of other complete and utter little shits.
nato - bury your food in the ground for a week then dig it up and eat it?!! worst thing to come out of japan since legend of the overfiend. :nono:
parsnips - i freakin hate them. they taste like jay-cloth. luckily jamba loves them, and hates roast potato ~ so if we're ever stuck having a sunday roast for some reason.. we're both in the money! :grin"
pregnant teenagers - get thee to a nunnery after ye hath been to ye olde abortion shoppe.
people hu dunt talk rite - typing, talking.. people who are too lazy to pronounce or type things correctly. and text speak. OHHHH text speak. it even annoys me in text messages.
fat children - i blame the parents. and cookies.
people who play music out loud from their mobiles - it sounds awful, and you look like a wanker who can't afford earphones.
spiders - house spiders in japan jump. they freakin JUMP. :shakehead
otaku freakjobs - you know the ones... sweaty greasy ginger man-boys who know the steps to the haruhi dance but are far too fat to move quickly enough to execute them.

:angry:

i feel better now ^_^

1) loud breathers. unless youve just been doing exercise, or weve just had sex, there is no reason i should be able to hear you breath. if i can, your doing it wrong.

2) kids in public. i love kids, when im with my relatives, i love playing with kids, amking them laugh and generaly being the type of guy girls look at and say "now hed be a good father!" unfortuantly, being around children in public puts me into peado defence mode. im not a nonce, i'll stress that from the start, but i worry if i do somthing wrong i will be seen as one. if your kid is running around and generaly in my way, i cant say excuse me, or gently move them asside, that would be seen as many sun readers to be me grooming the child. and if theres one thing i don't need, its to be accused of child molestation.

3) pretty girls in the gym. im a huge fan of the female form, however, when im trying to tone up, do some running, some weghts, the last thing i need is to see some tight little rear bounceing on the treadmill infront of me. im already full of testosterone from the exercise, you come in here in your tight lycra and desirable body, im gonna have to wrestle with ym primal urge to carry you off as my new bride. also, you make me turn the weights up way to high in an attempt to impress you. kindly stay out of my sight, or give me a propper workout. (even typing this it sounds bad to me.)

4) idiots. I can understand some people arnt bright, but these people should learn not to show it off. people who brag about never having read a book, or can't do sinple maths problems are really the very worst people to be around. bonus points if im stuck working with them for some reason.

5)overly couply couples. Im fine with love and affection, hell im a romanit guy myself, but come on, theres a limit. matching tatoos? matching outfits? matching fancy dress costumes? your a couple we get it! your happy, im misserable, now stop rubbing it in!

6) cock tease. im not sure if theres a male equivelent, but is there anything worse then a girl being reeeeealy flirty with you, making you fully belive theres a very real chance you may get to take her home only for her to be suddenly revolted by your attempts to woo her, or for her to casualy reveal she has a boy friend? its ok for a jokey flirt now and then, its just that a joke, but if your ego is so small you need to prove to yuor self you could get a fella if you needed to, you got problems.

7) wasted time. I accept that the world will not come to me when i need it, and that computers need time to load etc, but why in the fuck does everything take so long? if a bus takes over an hours worth of waiting i feel fully aware that not only am i now late, but that my day has been shortened doing nothing. in the same spirit, i was recently playign madworld, and was having trouble with a boss. unfortunatly, the nature of the game required me to repeate the same level over and over before i could continue. after 5 attempts, there was litteraly no pleasure in it, which has forced me to sell the game in the hope i may spend the money on somthing i find fun, rather then a chore that raises my blood pressure.

8) fat middle age women who are unable to do anything. we've all seen em, the women who cant manage to do anything the slightest bit physical without an epression of sheer panic. lady, your stepping on a boat, its easy. a moron could manage, all that your doing by panicing is maiking it more likly your going to end up on youve been framed as anouther silly woman who got wet. also, whats so difficult for you about getting in and out of cars? even when suffering horrific injuries and massive muscle pain, i can get out of a car faster then an egg can boil. maybe youd not be so fat if you moved faster then wind erosion occurs?

9) slow walking people. I will let you off if your on crutches or dissabled, or helping a child or old, so long as you give me room to nip past you. if your a group of girls walking in a long line walking so slowly that grannys are speeding past you like the bullit train then i WILL use my superior momentum to bowl through you. you may think your conversation is iportant, but trust me, im in a hurry, i walk quickly because the idea of wasting my life is frightening. outher offenders are the mothers with prams, fat people eating as the walk and my favorite, the person with absolutely no reason to daudle outher then that they are an uter vaginal cyst.

10) people with short fuses. im a fairly nice guy, i can lose my rag though, with people who persistantly piss me off. i have the manners to usualy let it go untill it starts to make my blood vessles bulge and/or myself or outher people are begining to be distressed by annoying actions. what i dont get is how some people claim to have a short fuse, and expect you to tread on egg shells around them. note that these people will annoy you on purpouse. what having a short fuse means is that your the same as every one else but too rude/unable to see your own flaws to bit your tounge every once in a while.

i have a LOT more to say, turns out i hate alot of stuff.

Just one for me today as I feel it needs to be stressed that much Felt Tips they are horrid and messy, leak through to the next page of my colouring book, stain my clothes and my hands, they're rubbish!!

Surely it's the colouring book that's to blame?

In No Particular Order.

Chavs - I'm not all that sure I need to explain this one. I'm not even sure it needs to be on this list as it really should just be assumed to be on everyones list.

People who smoke in public - I don't care if you want lung cancer, but at least have the decency to not do it right where everyone else will breath in the smoke like right by the entrance to a building or on a crowded sidewalk.

People who think they know everything - They argue with you and then start shouting at you that they're right and you're wrong when you make a good argument, they say they want to get some really high paying job like a lawyer or a doctor, and then 5 minutes latter ask for help with a simple math problem. ect. These people need to STFU!

The female equivalent of chavs - Some people call them Blondes, I don't as I know many people with Blonde hair that aren't like this and I know many people without blonde hair that are. I'm not sure I need to explain this anymore.

When people call USB Flash Drives memory sticks - Just a pet peeve of mine.

When retards go around bothering people - This one probably needs some explanation. I don't have a problem with mentally challenged people. What I do have a problem with is when some of them go around saying things like "Death to the jews" (like this kid that was in my class last year), or just insulting you.

People who say anyone who's not a chav or the female equivalent "Don't have a life" - Just because I have a different life style doesn't make me dead.

Jack Thompson and anyone else with similar opinions - No explanation needed.

Bitches - No explanation needed.

When someone's obsession/paranoia/bias/ignorace ruins the lives of other people - No explanation needed.

Ok, this is going to be hard. Here goes:

1. Grumpy People - These are by far the worst of the bunch. People who just want to frown or look down on others who are enjoying their life. It's good to be serious, but if you're always serious, when are you going to enjoy living? Also, people who never have anything good to say about others, and just bitch all the time. Noooo.

2. Money - I hate money, mainly because I have none of it. I always seem to be on the edge of Brokedom, or Skintism, as I call it. It's awful struggling, and there have been moments in the past where I've cried myself to sleep because I had no idea how I was going to get through the next week. But, if you persevere, you can get through anything. I lived off about 5 quid's worth of shopping that week, at the most.

3. Running out of Food - This follows on from the last point. Looking into your cupboard and seeing nooothing. When I finally start working as a teacher, I'm going to love being able to have nice food, and veg, and fruit. Going to build up a stockpile.

4. Pram-People! - Prams are not weapons. They are transportation for children. Do not shunt me with your pram, you pram person! NEE!

5. People who are loud on phones - You might be a friend of someone who does this, or you've seen someone do this on the street. They'll answer their phone, and it seems like they want the whole world to know what their conversation is about.

6. Beyonce - I fucking hate Beyonce! Can't stand her. I would kick her out of bed, quite happily. No No No. If she's coming to the N-E meet, I'm not! Pffft! Grrr.

7. Marmite - It's disgusting! It's not a love-hate thing, it's awful! Basically, someone went outside, and ripped up some tar off the road and packaged it as marmite. Horrible stuff.

8. Application Forms - Does someone actually sit there and read all of these? They're long, incredible boring to fill out, and makes you wonder if you want the job that much in the first place. Why oh why do they need all of this information? And, when you apply and never hear anything back. What a total waste of fucking time.

9. Leaving Ine - I've put this lower on the list, because we're meeting up quite regularly, so it's not like its a twice a year thing. But, saying goodbye to her then going home, it's like coming off a high. I prefer the meeting up part!

10. People who ask questions during films - "Whats going to happen in the end?" "Who is this?" "Does she die in the end?" WATCH THE FILM AND FIND OUT! Luckily Ine is very good at not doing this, or there would be hell...to pay.

this is a personal highlite of your list, as i hate it too. the worst offender has to be my dad, who will continue to talk, no matter how clear you make it he has to shut up or your going to smack him in the face. ruined oldboy for me by cpnstantly commentng on everything, asking who people were, getting up and walking in front of the screen during the last scene because the film had "finished" theres a reason i no longer watch films with my family. the reason is him. also, his behavior during the boy in the striped pjyamas had to be seen to be belived.

1. Newspapers

The Daily Mail doesn't even deserve to be used as toilet paper.

2. People who write into newspapers

Yep, show us just how ignorant and two-faced you are!

3. Anti-smoking people

Anybody who calls cigarettes "Cancer sticks" deserve cancer themselves more than most smokers. Just fuck off. Why tell smokers to stop doing something that would kill them when everyone's going to die anyway? Just delaying the inevitable.

4. Chav and WAG

Terms coined by the Newspapers. I hate the word "Chav" much more than the people in that clique so much that I've resorted to calling them "Kevs" again like I was back in 2002.

And Football "WAGs": Wives And Girlfriends, which are ladies like Cheryl Cole and Coleen McLoughlin/Rooney. Yet, despite both being a footballer's wife, they're called a "WAG" by the press. It's a shit term anyway.

5. Txt spk

I h8 it.

6. Modern Ska music

Compared to the 2-tone Ska from the 70's and 80's; it's ear-rape.

Not compared to the 2-tone Ska from the 70's and 80's; it's still ear-rape.

7. Tim Westwood

Act your age, your ethnicity and your social class, please!

8. Glory Hunters

"You're a Man Utd fan? But you were a Chelsea fan before, then an Arsenal fan before that, and a Man Utd fan before that! I also remember that time you supported Blackburn..."

9. The board of Birmingham City Football Club

I hate the football club a lot, but I cannot stand their board. Blues need to get rid of those deluded arses on their board if they want to get anywhere and be worthy of being our most-hated rivals.

10. Cristiano Ronaldo

Cock!

Why is this a problem? I've never understood why football fans get so annoyed by this, surely it's good to support a team for a reason (eg, they are doing well), rather than watching a crap team because your dad watches that crap team?

1. Smartarses - And not just the kind that think they're smarter than you. The ones that think they are above you and everyone else; that they can't be touched and think they're the pinnacle of society when really they are the bane. I've met a lot of people like this and frankly the next time I meet another, it's lights out. Hate them so much and it's completely unnecessary for them to be on their high horses about anything when you consider the state of the world (current economic disaster aside). This also extends to those who think that their music tastes are 'good' or 'better' than everyone elses when we all know, or at least should know, there is no distinction between 'good' and 'bad' when it comes to music.

2. Inconsiderate people - This could be lumped with smartarses if I tried but I feel it's a whole different ball game. I think it's absolutely disgusting seeing kids and adults who are unwilling to go the slightest bit out of their way to help others. I always try to do it and I've been berated for it (a friend moaned because I was holding a door open for a girl when I would have held it open for anyone but he thought that they should open it themselves).

I'm going to leave it there. I was thinking of what else I could put but I'm just going to come off like a grumpy sod and sound like and old man prattling on about how today's youth are ill mannered. But those are my two major hates.

see, ive no problem with people smoking, but ive seen the long term effect that smoking has on the body, ny grandfather was left with that. the idea that im breathing in the chemicals that fuck up the body that much just so some one can have a nicotine fix seems rather unfair to me. they may not care about the long term affcts but i do. it seems like the ultimate form of selfishness to pump out a chemical that damages lungs in a public area.

3. Anti-smoking people
Just delaying the inevitable.

I've never understood that arguement. If you're pointing out that non-smokers are delaying the inevitable - which, by the way, I'm like to point out I am going to work out how to live forever - and that smokers are some how... smarter(?) for "cutting to the chase"; then why not just stab yourself in the heart. Then you'd be hella smart.

*Note* I said "you" a lot. You may not actually smoke, just hate anti-smoking people, in which case, no offence.

Anywho...

I hate most of you guys.

Not really.

1. Society's drinking problem.
2. Most people my age.
3. Common night life. Mostly involving:
4. Getting "pissed maaate".
5. Pulling "a slllaaaag mate".
6. Getting "off maa head!"..... maaate.
7. People who make the really smart move of trying to start a "debate" about religion. Seriously, just be quiet. Just... sit down, shut up. I don't care if you don't believe in God or not. I won't care, no one will. I'd never tell someone if I believed in God or not. You know why? Because you wouldn't care.
8. Sex becoming something of a pass time.
9. Discussions of music. Even though I love music, like pretty much everyone does in their own right, disucssions about music just become tiresome. The thread in this place is a prime example. Person A posts thoughts about band. Person B explains that band isn't worth the disc is was put on. Then Mr. Smart Person C explains that music is of opinion and that everything is good. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
10. Black people.

Okay, that last one was a joke. But my real number 10:
10. People who get offended too easily. The world would be rotating twice as fast as it is if there weren't so many dip-shits complaining that everything isn't there way - like it was when they were a kid. Guess what? Not even your parents love you anymore. Stop complaining.

- I'd like to note, that I never post something this large, and I may disappear for a while to compensate for that. -

Hmm... what do I hate? I had to think awhile for this. These things kind of annoy me a bibt. I don't absolutely hate them though. :)

1. Sleep.

I have never been a fan. :)

2. When run out of food.

An empty Fridge is not a good sight for my eyes.

3. My Computer Freezing.

It doesn't happen that often but when it does it is always in the middle of something important.

Talking to someone. FREEZE
Watching Something and I'm halfway through it has taken so long to lad this far. FREEZE
Posting a long post on KNEE. FREEZE

Not fun.

4. People who patronise me

"OMJ you can talk! :o well done, very good."

Ermm yeah I don't speak to you as you are an idiot.

Mimicking my monotone voice. .. :( I don't even sound like that.

Not cool man, not cool!

My opinion is apparently not valid as I'm just a Robot or something!

5. When I lose my Glasses.

I lose them I can't see. I can't see I bump into things constantly I also can't do a lot of things without them so yeh! :heh:

6. Facebook

It creeps me out a lot. People who have it even say they don't like it! Also I'm not that bothered that X has put there pizza in the oven and 10 minutes later they are now eating it. :p

7. Someone who closes my door.

During the day I like my door open if I'm awake. If someone goes to close it I will shout. A little odd I must admit but I've always been like that with it.

8. When the clocks change

Waaaaay too confusing for me. I never know whether it has gone forwards or backwards I forget who I am and what I'm doing and I definately have no clue what the time is!

9. Unhelpful people in supermarkets

Could you tell me where the yogurts are please?

assistant: "Errm...we...errr..

*scratches head*

Don't sell them any more!"

I've heard that countless a time and they just can't be bothered to help you!

10. Mobile Phones

When it rings it scares me half to death!

Try and remember, Spring Forward and Fall Back. Practice actually springing forward and falling on your ass now.

Or just don't listen. And then next year you'll forget to change your clock back.. and you'll be late for an important job interview. And you won't get it. You'll be so poor and hopeless. Your wife will leave you, you're kids won't want to hug you. You'll hang yourself. Hang yourself dry until the very last breathe escapes your mouth in a wimper.

All because you couldn't be bothered to fall on your ass for a few minutes. Well, it just serves you right.

1) I find most things boring these days. Those story books and cartoons I watched as a kid really mis-sold this world.
2) Most people (no need to offend anyone)
3) The UK because its dead and stagnant compared to other, more lively and younger places
3) The destruction we have done to this planet
4) The fact that the planet is being destroyed in order to support me
5) The slow worms, frogs, fish and newts which I removed from their habitats when I was a kid. I think I am the reason for a local extinction of slow worms... I dont know how I'll ever get over the innocent cruelty my facination with animals led to when I was a child. I do give money to WSPA out of my salary every month.

Yes, the Daily Mail is shit, but why do you hate other newspapers?

Newspapers are as bad as each other. But the Daily Mail is by far the worst.

Why is this a problem? I've never understood why football fans get so annoyed by this, surely it's good to support a team for a reason (eg, they are doing well), rather than watching a crap team because your dad watches that crap team?

I can't talk about this without it becoming a wall of text. So I'll just say this:

If you're not into football like I am, then you're not going to understand why I dislike glory-hunters.

I've never understood that arguement. If you're pointing out that non-smokers are delaying the inevitable - which, by the way, I'm like to point out I am going to work out how to live forever - and that smokers are some how... smarter(?) for "cutting to the chase"; then why not just stab yourself in the heart. Then you'd be hella smart.

*Note* I said "you" a lot. You may not actually smoke, just hate anti-smoking people, in which case, no offence.

I am that at the bottom. I don't smoke, but this is a sensitive issue to me because a lot of my family smoke. So to see anti-smokers treating smokers like they're some sort of scum makes them oblivious to their own twattishness. (Told you it was a sensitive issue.)

I hate anti-smokers. It's not enough that us smokers have to now smoke outside, we now have to be considerate to others' health? Pfft. Are they blind? You see someone smoking, you go around them. If they are at an entrance to a building, you walk through. Big deal, two breaths of smoke max, outside when the wind takes most of it away. Come on. Paranoid much? You're not going to die from a few breaths of secondary smoke a day. They need to get off their high horses and appreciate they now have smoke free buildings and pubs. Or should we make it law that no-one can fart or burp in public too? Those smells arn't nice either. Just pisses me off that people can get so annoyed at a few moments, mere seconds, of discomfort in their day. Or maybe they'd rather have to work with bunch of angry smokers, irate and on short fuses because they cant go out and satsify their urges. But im sure those few seconds of clean air would make up for that.

Man i went on a bit. But yeah. Anti-smokers. God damn, look at the bigger picture.

Not really a top 10 as such but these are the first things that popped in my head tonight.

People playing music out loud on their phones
WHY? WHY? WHY? It's not cool, It sounds shit coming from the crappy little speaker, you annoy everyone else on the Bus/train, you're usually playing shit music anyway. So buy some god damn earphones.

People talking loudly on their phones
I've been at work all day the last thing I want to hear on the way home from work is you speaking incredibly loudly telling your wife and the rest of the carriage that you are on the usual train that you have been getting for the past 5 years. The point? Wouldn't it be easy to just to notify your wife if you miss the 'usual' train? The usual train means you usually get it so she is usually expecting you so you dont need to tell her this information. Please stop and please learn how to speak at a normal volume on a mobile phone.

People talking 'street'
You sound stupid. Please stop.

ITV football
Worst coverage ever. Worst commentators ever. Please stop covering football. You ruin games.

Can you move down the train?
I HATE these people that try to get on a packed train in the morning and demand everyone move down so they can fit on. Where would you like me go exactly? lay in the luggage rack? sit on someones lap? hang from the roof? No I cant move down, wait for the next one.

The outside seat sitter
Anybody encounter these? you get on the bus or train and there is a spare seat, but its on the inside of where someone is already sitting. You say "excuse me can I sit there please?" you get huffed and puffed at and squashed into the corner. Annoys the hell out of me. It's like these people believe that cos they are sitting on the outside you have no right to ask to sit next to them. You didnt pay for 2 seats now move over you mofo.

Kids running mad in restuarants
Look I like kids but if you're gonna bring them to a restaurant don't let them run round like they're on speed taking no notice of what they are doing. Teach them some manners, get them to sit there and eat a kids meal, do some colouring in, play with some toys at the table. Don't get me starting on crying babies in a restaurant. >_<

Moody staff in retail
Look you're not the only one in the world who doesn't enjoy their job. Cheer up or leave. A please or thank you would be nice now and again seen as im spending money in your shop.

Booze Britain towns
Living in London im quite lucky that I escape a lot of the craziness on a weekend when town centres around the country turn into Booze Britain. Don't get me wrong I like a drink, I really do but jesus some towns and the people in them are unreal. I'm looking at you Romford. Never shall I visit you again. Ever.

Tracksuit cap wearing chavs
Is it the 80's? No didn't think so. Are you taking part in a sporting event? No didn't think so... So why are you wearing an all in one tracksuit with it tucked into your socks and a cap on the back of your head with the front of your hair gelled to the nines? You look pathetic. Tell you girlfriend she looks pathetic too.

Amy Winehouses Valerie
I hate this version. People need to know that it's not an Amy Winehouse song. Just really annoys me to the point where i've annoyed myself by constantly informing people of the Zutons. The original is far superior.

Religion
Firstly I have no problem if people are religious and in general people don't bother me with their views. But I personally believe that Religion causes more trouble than it solves. Just take a look at the world troubles.... A lot can be traced back to reglious reasoning. Back in the day before Law I believe it was needed to keep people in line using the fear of God. But now its pretty obsolete. If you want to live your life by a book written by a mad man many moons ago then feel free. I just don't see the point. One chance at life and all that.

I dunno, having read Ben Goldacre's book, Bad Science, I hate the media as much as anyone. It's a really excellent book that attacks all aspects of the media, even the "good" newspapers; I'd recommend everyone reads it.

Everyone (sane) hates the tabloids that feed off peoples hatred, but I'd be interested in knowing what you have against the guardian, for example.

I'm not into football like you are, but I still think it would be nice for you to attempt to explain it.

There are nice staff in retail that get treated awfully, customers can be complete asshats at times and they have to stick their shit. And then they have to stick the shit from the management (and in my experience the management don't do an awful lot)

I don't think I'd care all that much if I was getting paid min wage. :blank:

----

My main rant is people that ring at my work and moan constantly about shit no-one cares about. Or people that just moan for the hell of it.

There was a girl I spoke to in work today - she wasnt even 30, 7 fractures in her spine. I would imagine she was in agony (as well as having pressure sores from lying down a lot!). She didn't complain once, thanked me for what I did, and for the sympathy I showed her. If people were more like this life would be a lot easier.

I'll try not to make it a wall of text...

If you're a glory hunter, you're taking a club's glory for granted.

Manchester United might be English, European and World Champions at the moment. But in 1989 they were has-beens. One-time European Champions not going anywhere. The glory days were behind them.

They won a trophy a year later, but Man U fans probably treated that success like it was their last. They had won nothing for a number of years and they were patiently waiting for more glory and success.

They got their wish: The last 15 years have been bloody full of success for them. They've never won so many trophies before.

And for the aging Man United fan; that was the stuff their dreams were made of 30 or so years ago, when they were languishing in the second division.

But if you're a glory-hunter, you wouldn't understand what seeing a club win a trophy means. Because the moment that club have a barren spell where they win nothing, you've jumped ship! You're now supporting the team that ARE winning.

And chances are, when that team have the barren spell, you'll either start supporting another team or go back to that team before.

For me, being an Aston Villa fan has been less good and more absolute wank in the years since we last won anything (1996). But we're in a period where we're finally looking like we could achieve success and win something.

I've been dreaming of seeing Villa win a trophy, whether it's just the League Cup or the European Cup. But to see either of those happen would be absolutely fantastic. But all I can do is support the team and wait for it to happen.

And when it does happen, I'll be celebrating it like it will never happen again.

[blahblahblahbigwalloftext]
And when it does happen, I'll be celebrating it like it will never happen again.

I guess I can understand that, but if a team isn't playing good football, why go to their matches? I'm sure it feels nice being surrounded by a bunch of like minded people, but surely that and the hope of winning a trophy isn't enough to justify watching a poor team play football?

Would you consider it to be acceptable to change club if you moved house to a different city?

Thanks

1) It's proper dedication from die-hard football fans to go down every week even if their teams playing absolute crap. Some of you here would say they've got more money than sense.

A lot of people enjoy the matchday atmosphere regardless of the game's entertainment value. I enjoy it myself, but I wouldn't go down every week. I'd probably end up getting bored of it.

But don't let me be the one to tell you all this. Many of the other football fans here would say almost the same thing as I have.

2) I don't think that would be acceptable. It's like your local-ness. Say if I was to move to somewhere like Liverpool or Manchester or even out of the UK, I'd still be a Brummie.

But bear in mind, though, this sort of thing isn't just in football. It happens in every sport. I only said football because it's the only team sport I'm properly into.

funny you should say that, i was woke up by a txt the outher day, screamed "FUCK!" cos it gave me such a fright!

Haha, I had that happen to me at school I was about leave my phone bellowed it was that loud and I jumped a foot in the air and the people that where their laughed at me! :p

I'm also suprised it rang as no one ever rings me!

Try and remember, Spring Forward and Fall Back. Practice actually springing forward and falling on your ass now.

Or just don't listen. And then next year you'll forget to change your clock back.. and you'll be late for an important job interview. And you won't get it. You'll be so poor and hopeless. Your wife will leave you, you're kids won't want to hug you. You'll hang yourself. Hang yourself dry until the very last breathe escapes your mouth in a wimper.

All because you couldn't be bothered to fall on your ass for a few minutes. Well, it just serves you right.

Yeah I've been told that spring forward fall back thing before but I forget about it in my state of panic! :D

Ah well...

Jeremy Clarkson - Twat. I await the day he kills himself in one of his "I can speed because I'm jeremy clarkson" moods. Par-taaaaaaay.

Racism, Homophobia... So basically people so insecure about themselves that they feel the need to insult others.

Children screaming in restraunts and such. - I get the urge just to either go and stab them, or bitchslap the parents.

People that find it impossible to laugh at themselves - When it's funny, a joke at my expense can be hilarious. I don't get why people get so defensive over it.

Obsessive football fans - You know, the ones that think rioting is justified. Its a ball being kicked around on a pitch, how about getting a life?

Drunken Texts/Facebooking - I look back at them in the morning, and think "OMFG". My most recent one being "I LOVE THAT ORGASM" to a fellow forum member. *Shudder*

Two-faced-ness - If you dislike someone, don't beat around the bush and pretend to. Don't tell me "I hate that guy, he's such a twat" and then be all nice when he talks to you.

I know people here have mentioned music being played on buses, when its too loud. Well, following on from that, I'm sat in the living room trying to do some work, and my housemate is listening to his music through his headphones. Well, I'm can't work, because I can still fucking hear you.

The point is that you keep your music to yourself. Nobody wants to hear what your music. If you do this, you deserve to go deaf. Just like you deserve to go blind for staring at the sun for days on end.

It's really fucking rude, inconsiderate, and you're all arseholes for doing this.

In no order what so ever:

People who say I need to be more open-minded
This comes from the fact that people who believe in crazy stuff like ghosts seem to have a misunderstanding of what the term "open-mindedness" means. They seem to think it means an uncritical acceptance of anyone's ideas or views as truth. What it actually is is a willingness to consider new ideas. In my experience, people who believe in ghosts and similar stuff can only come up with anecdotes, and no falsifiable evidence. What's even more frustrating is when they've been convinced by someone else's anecdote, or tricking into thinking that open-mindedness is gullibility, and that it's a good thing. I wish people would consider their own ability to perform critical thinking before encouraging others to be accept their idea unconditionally.

People who listen to music on headphones/earphones loud enough to be heard by others
"Didn't you buy the headphones so you could listen to music?"

Wafer-thing ham/turkey
What's the frickin' point? It doesn't taste of anything!

Racists/homophobes
Congratulations, you are now officially an insecure ill-educated moronic bigot. The worst is people who say "I don't have a problem with gay people, I just don't like to see them kissing."
This often leads to the following conversation:
"Why do you have a problem seeing them kissing?"
"Because it's disgusting!"
"Do you have a problem seeing a guy and a girl kiss, or even two girls?"
"No, that's different!"
"Why?"
"Because they're gay guys."
"So you have a problem with gay guys?"
"No, etc, etc, etc..."

The Pope
A dangerous, hypocritical, stupid old man. No Catholics I personally know agree with him and his old fashioned, small minded views on homosexuality, sex before marriage and contraception, and neither do more prominent ones, such as Tony Blair.

School kids
Whilst most are fine, you get groups who are annoyingly noisy and boisterous, and one's who'll come up to you and ask you to "lend them a quid"/buy them fags/booze, or, most annoying of all, ask to see your phone. Why would you want to see my phone for any reason other than nicking it? How stupid do you think I am, you little twats?

Evangelical Christians
Especially of the Young-Earth Creationist variety. I wish they'd at least put in some effort, such as coming up with flawed, easy-to-rebut arguments I haven't heard a thousand times (simply rephrasing Pascal's Wager doesn't count), or actually find out what the theory of evolution is, and what evidence there is for it. If they're going to insist on trying to convert (sorry, 'witness') me, then they should at least have the decency to not simply reject my objections to their arguments out of hand. I'd also like if it they didn't shoot themselves in the foot by trying to back their own ideas up with science/statistics. It makes it too damn easy.

People who fail to understand that free speech works both ways
I hear people say "you can't tell me I'm wrong, I have the right to free speech" too often for my liking. I'm not attempting to censor you, I'm just pointing out why I disagree with you. Ironically, in doing so, I'm exercising my right to freedom of speech.

People who hate the police
In my experience, those who have it in for coppers have been in trouble with them before. Perhaps they should consider that it's not the police who are in the wrong, but them.

The Conservative Party
More specifically, their "family values" bollocks. I wish they would actually define the term, it would make it so much easier to point out why they're wrong. As far as they're let on, they would like to impose what they consider to be values which all families hold on everyone, at the expense of the welfare of single mothers. "Family Values" is simply a nice-sounding name for "being a stuck-up, bigoted, backwards arse.
