ILM for making me feel anything but good for liking any particular musical artist. I now have comforting words in my mind written by my friend Jason (and I'm paraphrasing here), "music nerds don't feel any more passionately about music than the rest of us; they're just nerds."

- people who say 'hhhhhhhaitch'
- people who know 'hhhhhhhaitch' is wrong but say it anyway
- IT lecturers who say 'hhhhhhhaitch' and conduct an entire subject saying HTML and HTTP and PHP all the time

ms. lurex, OTM. talking ruins the library. especially sorority girls on their cell phones ON THE QUIET FLOORS. "HEY MELISSA, ARE YOU GOING TO STUDY HOUR TONIGHT?...YEAH I'M IN THE LIBRARY RIGHT NOW....OH MY GOD, NO WAY!" diiiiiiiiie.

mothers that think it is their duty to walk with prams(often two of them next to each other, actually) in the middle of the pavement/supermarket aisle/shop floor, presumably because either they think you'll want to admire their sprog or they are so special for being mothers that they just deserve it. it seriously took me twice as long as normal to get around sainsburys to buy my lunch because i was practically jumping over prams to get around.

grrrr. just because you have a kid doesn't mean you don't need to have courtesy for the rest of the world! hopefully baby doesn't turn out as clueless/selfish/self absorbed as mom is...

Cyclists

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Monday, 26 July 2004 11:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I like all the cyclists that hang out under my place...except the two couriers who plot up every morning at 9am because their despatch office is around the corner. It's an English guy and his Spanish girlfriend, who has a ginormous mouth full of buck teeth that have been ground down from too much speed and E, and a normal speaking voice of 100 decibels. I'm THIS close to calling their dispatcher at the company in question and asking him to move them.

Otherwise I have to wait until 5. My friend Ranka the Croatian Hardwoman has offered to have a word with them if they can't self-regulate.

- People who ask me "so are you married yet?"
- People who exit subway stairs/airport jetways and then STOP right at the exit like a deer in the headlights
- People who ratchet-jaw endlessly about their new car/boat/flat panel TV and then tell me that I'm having a mid-life crisis because I'm selling off possessions and moving.
- People who still defend Microsoft
- Burning Man
- Dreamweaver and it's spawn of wannabe "web designers"

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 26 July 2004 11:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Ah I should have clarified 'cyclists'! I hate cyclists who can't decide whether they are a road vehicle or a pedestrian. Dude, the red light means you stop aswell!!

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Monday, 26 July 2004 11:41 (twenty-one years ago)

dessicated coconut, wasps, badverts, people who sit next to me on the bus even though there are other free seats, people on buses generally, impatient queue-ers, people who assume that their way is best and try to change things for everyone, even though not everyone would necessarily wants things that way, badly articulated sentences,customers who think it's ok to order their food from me whilst they're on their mobile, bad breath, the sound of cutlery on china, the fact that, despite supporting myself independantly for the last 5 years I am unable to get an overdraft, the building site outside my bedroom window that's only worked on between 8am-9am, random men on the street who genuinely think they stand a chance if they hit on you, that man who called me a racist the other day, ahmed from Big Brother, the fact that i can think of more things i hate than things i like, my inability to think clearly anymore.

alix (alix), Monday, 26 July 2004 11:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Cyclists are ok! If it wasn't for cyclists, I'd be living in a ditch!!

morris dancers, alan partridge, that bo selecta bloke, people who revel in being twee and ineffectual, petty thieves, Primal scream, radiohead, lord of the rings obsessed twits, Harry potter obsessed twits, people who talk at length and in an authoratative tone about things they obviously know nothing about, loving food but not my waistline, eating outside, people who hate on shorts wearers, jesus, there's loads of things, this is just the stuff that springs to mind right now

Onimo (GerryNemo), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:17 (twenty-one years ago)

i hate Dreamweaver too but not quite for the same reason Elvis does

'Twits'

alix (alix), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I second Dreamweaver and the same building site mentioned by Caaaaaampbell. DAMMIT.

I hate quiche, mayonnaise, tartare sauce and the majority of white foodstuffs. I hate having a great 7 letter word but nowhere to play it. I hate the way my skin is blotchy and full of blackheads. I hate the way I am incapable of getting up in the morning to go for a run and my general fitness levels.

I do not hate bicycles. I just think they are a hundred levels of ALIENATION. I do not hate cyclists. I worry for them, is all.

'hot desking' and being given the desk that is basically in the middle of the room, facing a wall, so EVERYONE can read over your shoulder.

hello everyone at the municipal office, since i can tell you're reading this!

colette (a2lette), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:36 (twenty-one years ago)

'This desk is TOO HOT'

'This desk is TOO COLD'

'This desk is JUST RIGHT'

suzy (suzy), Monday, 26 July 2004 12:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Bumperstickers that say "proud to be an American", my cat scratching to come in or out at 5 a.m., "keepin' it real", parallel parking, hangovers, my computer freezing, ice crystals on ice cream, oysters, Bush, running out of coffee, trying to pick a restaurant with a group of 5+ indecisive yet picky people, jellyfish, comedy improv ...

*random staples on the floor of the office in which I walk around with no shoes on
*low ceilings & dangling heavy brass light fixtures
*morning after too-spicy-food ringsting
*shrill-voiced high-decibel shrieks of squealing girls who are obviously very excited to see each other
*people (esp. Xtian fundies) trying to teach my son total bullshit
*well-done steak (MEAT RUINER)
*the smell of restaurant trash that has been marinating in the hot summer sun for days
*the word "quirky"
*the fact that Nellie McKay isn't my girlfriend
*that smug-ass smirk omnipresent on Dick Cheney's dickface face
*centipedes
*regret

one. putting all my gear in a semi-crushed ciggy deck, and then chucking them out.

two. raves with lasers that don't come down low enough to dance in.

three. people who think raves are just drug parties. when will they understand the community spirit of rave culture? probably never!!!

four. people who think it all happened in the eighties. i was born in 1985, and fuck all happened to me.

aaron attacker, Monday, 26 July 2004 14:32 (twenty-one years ago)

you really should stop gnawing your desks suzilocks

the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Monday, 26 July 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Holy crap - I just got an email from someone to whom I sent a few simple questions. He was very happy to answer them all, which was great, but he signed off with "Thanks for reaching out to me". I hate that.

Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:27 (twenty-one years ago)

BICYCLE COURIERS TIME A BILLION. (honestly not trying to provoke Suzy this time, but never have I known a group of people with such disregard for the others who happen to use the same space as them)

Markelby (Mark C), Monday, 26 July 2004 15:36 (twenty-one years ago)

aaron, I was born in 1967 but I'm starting to think these days that it all happeded in the following years:

1967

1974

1976

1979-82

1988

1993

2004

I think that 1993 was an especially good year: techno, black metal, ambience, all kinds of things. You really must come and say hello on the mongrels and sheepfuxors thread Mr Attacker.

Being in the dark & being scared. (at the same time)

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 10:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, it all happeded in those years. Boy, was it happeding.

People who say "let me finish" or "may I interrupt"

dave q, Wednesday, 28 July 2004 12:50 (twenty-one years ago)

People who write 'loose' instead of 'lose'. They want fucking punching. It's not just a misspelling, it's a completely different word.

accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

they're & there gets to me!!

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Prople who get money out of the cashpoint, then get a receipt, then put another card in, then check the balance on that card, then get more money out, then get a receipt, then stand RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CASHPOINT putting their various receipts and cards back in exactly the right slots in their over-fancy wallets. KILL!!

accentmonkey is so unbelievably OTM here. I want to punch them out repeatedly.

Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow, this thread really took the fuck off in the last few days. Hmmph!

Anyway....

- People who pronounce "idea" as eye-dear
- Political Strategists (for either party)
- Tucker Carlson
- Public figures who use sports analogies to make their point.
- People who get all uppity about their right to fly the Confederate Flag. It's offensive. Let it go.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 19:56 (twenty-one years ago)

How else would you pronounce idea?

Wooden (Wooden), Wednesday, 28 July 2004 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

There is no "r" in idea.

" 'People who write 'loose' instead of 'lose'. They want fucking punching. It's not just a misspelling, it's a completely different word.'

"accentmonkey is so unbelievably OTM here. I want to punch them out repeatedly."

Agree absolutely. English deserves too loose its status as a major language if its speakers are to lose with its spelling of such basic words.

Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 29 July 2004 04:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Insomnia. Conjunctivitis. The cold. And having a combination of all of them in the middle of a really busy week.
