Stuff you hate (aka: the new f. you thread)

[dave from knoxville]

Some of you may be interested to learn you've unwittingly earned yourselves forced, Clockwork Orange-style screenings of Ben Stein's EXPELLED.

Ben Stein is the Bill Maher of zealots. If either of them dies, the universe folds in on itself.

New/recent stuff I do not dig:

Phrases beginning with "Why didn't anyone tell me...?". Like "Why didn't any one tell me that show was so good?". Yeah, the world forgot to tell YOU about it specifically.

Dumb, loud people that ruin comedy shows.  I've had my fill of this.

Subways $5 footlongs coming and going.  Sometimes it's all of them, sometimes it's some of them, sometimes it's none of them.     

The Facebook mobile app not being very good.

World-wide disasters.

People that feel the need to overlight any room they walk into. Especially when they exclaim "it's so dark in here!" when it's clearly at a comfortable level for whatever the people who were in the room first are doing.

Maybe they are going blind. Don't be insensitive. No pun intended.

Last night at the Bulls game, the guy sitting next to me kept putting on his Oakley sunglasses, including when they dimmed the lights for the player intros. He also was wearing a thumb ring.

[Steve of Bloomington]

Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades.

Beard ponytails.

the sound of someone else eating yogurt makes me cringe.  i can't stand the sound of a plastic or metal spoon scraping the bottom of the container.

How about pudding?

The Nicholas Cage Wicker Man. I love the original, and everything I love about the original is absent from this. It's also dedicated to my least favorite Ramone. I just watched the original again last night, and then I got mad thinking about the remake.

apparently i'm being followed.  seriously.  on the internet.  and i hate it.



also, i hate the bumper sticker on the car in the parking garage that says, "next time you think you're perfect try walking on water".  THAT PROVES NOTHING EXCEPT THAT YOU CAN WALK ON WATER!




i love this thread.

That's a new one.

Or is it?

I used to be am very sensitive to the feeling of dry hands on a fresh roll of paper towels. I'd get all shivery and stuff. Just thinking about it almost does it.

Cage has a way of working himself into bad remakes.  Ever see "City of Angels"?  Ew buoy.  I watched it without headphones on a red-eye from LA to NY.  Stuck in a middle seat between two Rubin-esque businessmen. Couldn't sleep. The movie consisted of 50% this: A character with arms out, palms up, face to the skies, eyes closed in rapture, rain optional.  Is there a word for that?  "Redemption shot?"  I dunno.  I wish I had a sleeping pill for each one.  It was my private hell.
