I'm so goddamn sick of parents trying to get their kids to say hi to me or whatever. No, your child isn't that cute, I don't give a shit about their recital last night, and if they don't wanna show me within five seconds of your asking, I've lost interest and wish to slap the two of you.

My pet peeve? People who go through their lives being deliberately argumentative.

Also, cowards.

When people post in this thread being purposefully obtuse and describing someone's actions on the forum, knowing they'll read it and, in the author's mind, be totally mindcrushed when they realize who it's about.

I hate BOD's.

I really shouldn't say that, since BOD's are tests that it's basically my job to run, but OMG SO MANY SAMPLES ARGH.

Also, they apparently pick up at the first of the month. So next week = nonstop fun! (groan)

...and in care you were wondering, BOD stands for Biochemical Oxygen Depletion.

I'm all for introducing kids to comics at a young age. Especially when you can do it in an age-appropriate manner. Sometimes, though, you need to learn where to draw the line.

For instance:

Is it just me, or does Galactus look like he wants to hug, squeeze and call the Human Torch "George"?

I hate that.

EDIT: And this is un-bloody-forgivable!

Sentinels doing disco!?!?!?

i hate toys based on movies or comics that have completely and randomly bizarre additions.

like spiderman toys where spidey is in his spideycopter. why? why does he need a helicopter? really now.

He needs a helicopter to make more money.

I acutally kinda like the absurdity. Sort of.

Noise Monkey · Post by **Noise Monkey** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 12:23 pm

As much as I hate the idea of them, I desperately want to buy both for my boy.

I hate that, too.

Forget "need". How does poor Peter Parker AFFORD one?

Nonono...he *built* it. Himself. Out of scrap from the junkyard and some good ol' Yankee ingenuity. Geez!

How people feel obligated to lecture me, not because they give a shit, but because they feel good saying "Oh, I taught Senshi/Inemesit a lesson. I'm special." Instead of caring so much about my life, take care of your own shit first. 'Kay, thanks.

People who stare you in the eye, then try to play it off!

People who fart for giggles. That's NEVER funny.

Uber obese people who say "they're curvy" and it's okay to be their size, and just contribute to our growing heart disease epidemic.

Uber skinny people who say they are attacked by the media for being naturally skinny, and then they stretch and you can count their ribs without trying.

Black girls with no booty showing off their "booty". Cover it up, ladies.

People who are loud/bitchy/dramatic for no reason.

The same, but especially on children.

In fact, the whole tarting of the preschool set is pretty disturbing. I'd like to murder the creator of Bratz just to make a point.

That sounded a bit extreme, actually. Maybe in effigy.

On the other hand, someone could make a Jack the Ripper diorama with Bratz toys.

Yes, I think dressing children up that way is just terrifying. Makes me sick to my stomach. There's runway shows out there with 5 year olds modeling bikinis. Not kids' swimwear, but I mean 2 piece bikinis for like someone MY age, but for kids.

Ugh.

People with four wheel drive vehicles who drive uber-fast in slick conditions. These people have only grasped part of the issue - four wheel drive will definately give you an edge accelerating in slick conditions. But EVERYONE has four-wheel braking, and if you're doing 55mph when everyone else is doing 20mph, you'll be the one causing the wreck that slows me down later on.

There should be a switch in every SUV that can be controlled by anyone NOT in an SUV. If you're driving like an idiot in one, anyone else on the road can activate the switch, causing your car to blow itself off the road.
