Pet peeves

[AlliaPotestas]

I don't really advocate having either, but I disagree with your stance that everything should be positive, there is definitely a place for negativity (have you read some of the posts on the GB?)

I think it unlikely that your "titty shots" as you call them would attract many "dislikes". It would likely be someone with mental problems, given that we all have an inbuilt rooting instinct, which tends to make us look on them favourably. That's not to say there aren't a few mental cases viewing the threads.

If someone likes something, or doesn't for that matter, it is easy enough to comment either in the open on the thread or discreetly by PM.

When I rule the world, I shall insist people only say nice things about each other. It shall be a law and if you break my law you shall be forced to spend time in your room thinking about what you have done while the rest of us have clotted cream scones and good brandy...

There is enough negativity in our heads, we do not need an easy button that can pressed with barely any effort to reinforce our own self hatred. At least if someone posts or PMs a cuntish comment, some thought has gone into it, and normally I can feel a little superior by their shoddy spelling / grammar even if I am crying inside...

I have typed this on my phone and I do know there will be spelling / grammatical errors... perhaps deliberately, x

I'm bored - can you tell?

I'm a square and hence have no negativity.

Your secret is safe. I had no idea you were bored.

One of my peeves is the media's infatuation with celebrity deaths and how long they milk reporting the entire mess. It's a disturbing indication that they fully realize how much of the public just don't have a real life anymore.

 

[thefishfryer]

Talking of celebrities, one of my peeves is the fact that such people seem to be given honours for essentially just doing their jobs. Jobs that they often get paid excessive amounts for in the first place. There must be any number of people who have worked hard all their lives and given their best, who are equally worthy of such accolades.

Am I allowed to be a general as just saying the fucking cold? Just got out of the shower and freezing my bits off, someone needs to whisk me away to warmer climes (I mean not too warm, I don't do well in hot, hot weather - I burn), so something nice and ambient...and neutral... Hmm...

New Zealand.

People who always manage to work into any conversation that they don't watch t.v., are gluten free, or vegan.

 

[Hornblende]

Xenophobes. Oh, and the Welsh.

I'm from Vegan, I'm TV free and I watch Gluten.

It's minus 12 C here. 10.4 F
My nips are too cold to come out.

I'd make a quip about Welsh rabbit but in reality I wouldn't have a clue about how culturally appropriate or funny it would be so I won't. Besides...rabbits have feelings too...

Yes! Have you read Christopher Nolan's Under the eye of the clock? Contains one of the best paragraphs ever written, I shall see if I can dig it out, x

No, but would definitely love too.

 

[AlliaPotestas]

Do - it's fabulous, I don't know if you know of Nolan - deprived of oxygen at birth, he was completely unable to communicate until he was ten when a medical breakthrough allowed him to move his neck enough that a pointer could be attached to his head, which he used to type and suddenly all these poems flooded out. He was fifteen when he had his first book published. Can't chew is the paragraph I love, and found myself reading again and again... x

Robot call telemarketers. When you block one number another one pops up.

 

[talikat]

Going to news websites and seeing the fucking Kardashians on the front page. Excuse my language but I'm sick of these no-talent free-loaders constantly in the news and taking away from stories that actually mean something.

Why in the name of all that is sacred are these clowns on a NEWS site? They are not news, they need to go!!

How many Kardashians are there for fucks sake. I'm sure they're an invention of someone's mind. Just when I think I've worked it out another one pops up?

 

[Ekserb]

People who use acronyms or abbreviations as jargon without any explanation and sometimes without knowledge of the true meaning of the jargon.

As an example, I'm dubious that everyone who uses the acronym "AV" knows what it actually stands for. On this site, most people are referring to their avatar or someone else's. How was it decided that "AV" should stand for "avatar?" It makes little sense. I've got an idea: Just type out the word avatar. It's not that fucking hard to do. You lazy fuckheads.

I'm a little tired of being told to have a blessed day at the checkout of my local grocery. I'm going to begin telling these brainwashed religious fucks, "No. I will not have a blessed day; I will have a day that is good because I've decided to make it that way, not because I believe in some stupid man in the clouds who has the power to make everything nice, but refuses to do so."

Time is not on my side

I feel your pain on my side too darlin"

 

[Ekserb]

I've complained about this so many times I can't easily count the number ... but it seems like no one gets it, so here we go again:

When you compliment every woman on how beautiful they are, you end up complimenting no one. In fact, the smarter women will see through your bullshit and realize that you are simply throwing out the same compliments over and over with no real meaning or substance to the words they contain.

Most people I know do realize that "participation trophies" are an insult to children, but there are some parents who think that all children deserve some encouragement for every small effort. While they support this kind of treatment for children, they will admit that adults do not need constant encouragement and positive feedback.

And yet, here we are. (Supposedly) grown men are forever sucking ass and buttering up these adult females in an obvious effort to win favor. I mean, I hope you're trying to win favor. If you're not, the only explanation must be that you think these women are childlike in their inability to cope with honesty and reality.

Stop this. Stop this right fucking now.

I know that feeling. Maybe I could fill in for him some time?
