Grumpy old men
Sat, 15/04/2006 - 22:53
 Ok, so I'm not grumpy, old or a man. That is not the point. I'm starting this thread so that I can moan about all the little things in life that piss me off that don't deserve a thread of their own. To start with: People that say "D'oh". Why?? No-one can EVER make their d'oh sound anything like Homer Simpson, so why bother trying? It just makes you look even more incompetent than you already are....

 i never say "d'oh".... i leave it to the pro. I write it occasionally on msn tho to signify a groan eg when emma cracks cheesy jokes

 Old people (anyone who works in a supermarket knows what I'm talking about here!) Especially the ones who don't know where anything is despite having come to the place twice a week for the last 30 years! There's one woman who comes to Budgens who practically gets me to do her entire shopping for her! > Also people who park outside the lines, which can make getting trolleys in quite hard some times.

Supermarket trolleys with dodgy wheels piss me off

Stupid road users. I have no quarrel with cyclists, motorbikers or drivers who obey the rules of the road, just the ones who don't regardless of what their vehicle is. British Airways. Nuts and 'May Contain Nut Traces' logos. Why can't they be more careful? I'm lucky at the moment my reaction isn't too extreme, but it's still something to consider. I also really really hate the way that airline food is often made in an environment with nuts and some airlines still serve peanuts mid flight. They can make me ill dammit and I know I'm not alone. Why not make it all nut free so that there's no risk of someone going into anaphylactic shock in the middle of the Atlantic? The module called 'Individuals and Populations 2'. Words cannot describe. Wankers who don't park properly. People who moan incessantly about their problems and never bother asking how you are EVER then ignore any advice you give them that they've asked for and continue to whinge incessantly about the same problem. People who are annoying twats. George Bush Corrupt politicians People with intractable beliefs who insist that black is white because they're too close minded to think any other way. That's all I can think of right now.

 People who touch the fish on the fish counter. Don't these people have any sense of hygeine, especially old people! When they're pointing at a piece of fish they want, they always have to poke it! > I really want to tell some of these people off, but I know I'll get a complaint against me!

Surely if they're buying the same fish then it doesn't matter if their own germs get on it through their poking.

Let's rephrase it then... People that say "dude" when it obviously doesn't make them look cool...unless it's Alex...because i automatically expect you to call me "dude" now. and its cool

People talking in the cinema... When I first saw moulin rouge there were about 3 girls singing along (the original songs of course, not the adapted ones for the movie) about 2 rows in front of me.... I was not impressed >:@

Any surfer terms (dude, yo, bogus etc) or cartoon quotes (d'oh, thundercats ho!, sweeeet etc) are completely allowable for people who were stoners in the 90's. Come on, i'm old and i don't have enough memory left to learn new 'cool' phrasing.

 I'll get back to you. There's far too much I could moan about! I agree with the driving though. Spanish drivers are terrible. I was crossing the road on a green man when I was very aware that there was a car trying to drive through the crossing, which would have meant they'd have run me over. I looked up to see who the idiot was. It was a bloody police car.

when i complained about people saying 'dude' i was mostly thinking of the over 40s and people who sound deadly serious or self consciously 'cool' when they use it... AOL british rail my printer

For a start, he's absolutely crackers. Secondly, he won't be the first to do it. In some cultures it's considered par for the course to eat the placenta once it's emerged. Of course it's usually the new mother who eats it as she's the one who's just gone throught the painful and exhausting process of childbirth and is the one who's lost blood.

apparently tom cruise has called for psychiatry and drugs that treat mental illness to be banned. he thinks scientology can fix all these problems much better. the man is a fruit loop with a serious ego problem... the problems associated with internet shopping - being sold items that are out of stock, couriers/ royal mail losing your purchase, being sent the wrong size/item, having something turn up that looks nothing like the photo. royal mail in general. spilling orange juice everywhere just after i've finished cleaning my room.

 -anti abortionists -customers in supermarkets -men who use people -women who use people -scenesters -PEOPLE WHO THINK AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE A BAND HAS SOLD LOTS OF RECORDS THEYRE NOT VERY GOOD AND THEYVE SOLD OUT, THIS REALLY FUCKS ME OFF! -Religious zealots etc.. My main irritation is people who treat me like shit just because im a student, that annoys me. Really its because theyre jealous.

Or there's people who think certain pop artists must be good if they've sold lots of records. My mum seems to follow this line of reasoning. In my opinion, record sales aren't that strong an indicator of how good an artist is.

Theyre not generally, I mean didn't Chico get to no1? Mr Blobby did too. Following on from what I said before, one really annoying result of this is apparent in indie culture, where bands are seen as more desirable if less people have heard of them. It is the height of indie cool to listen to lots of bands known only to yourself (they're mostly known only to you because theyre shit, but this doesn't bother you as an indie kid, because you're cool). I'm so glad me and Gemma got completely disillusioned with indie culture and abandoned it entirely

Yeah, I bet a lot of Indie kids are abandoning The Kooks now that they've been played on BBC Radio 2! :rotfwl:

The Kooks are getting really popular now, and not just among indie kids...they'll be in a favour for a short while yet and will then become deeply, deeply uncool like the Kaiser Chiefs did when none indie people started enjoying their music

 Eric (the german who came to brickies last friday) said that in Germany, the term indie just refers to bands that are out of the mainstream, and doesn't neccesarily define the genre or musical style. Then again, he also said that he found Kenny really hilarious, so, its up to you if you believe him.

In fact, I see it as an advantage to myself, as that means I have a better chance of seeing them live if I haven't seen them before. What really bugs me is when scenesters know of the band. DragonForce is a good example

 the reason you can now post faster is because i got pissed off with the anti spam delay and reduced it from 20 seconds between posts to 5 seconds between posts.

Told them no, and they still kept e-mailing me, so I told them to fuck off! Bastards!
