Things we all hate.
Right, we couldn't agree on a video game, a TV program, or even a food we all liked. So to have one last stab at agreement, here's a thread to find out if we all hate a given something. Here's my quick list of things I hate:
Graham Norton,
Eastenders,
Onions,
Having to work for a living,
Having to commute to work,
ewgf's posts (well everyone else will say it, so if I say it first then I look ironic and clever, and everyone else looks unimaginative and full of plagiarism),
Politicians,
Lawyers,
Everything to do with reality TV,
Everything to do with modern "talent" shows (including Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, the endless adverts for it on TV, etc),
Being ill,
Toothache,
The fact that everything that tastes nice makes you fat, and also is 98.4% certain to contain sugar (I'm diabetic),
The fact that women aren't like they are portrayed on TV (you know, reasonable, intelligent, with a sense of humour, not obsessed with money, not hating your friends on sight, etc),
The fact that I'm not king,
The fact that to connect up all your equipment to your TV you need so many wires (I've got five consoles, a DVD player, VHS video recorder, and Sky, and it's more complicated than the human cardio-vascular system - not that it would be a problem except I've got SCART switcher boxes that aren't too easy to reach),
Viruses and other malware,
The endless "My XBox is so good it compensates for my tiny nob", "Well, my PS3 is so great it makes me forget I'll be a lifelong virgin" type self assurances (which is what their fanboyisms translate to) that pervade every 360 board (and no doubt every PS3 board too). I'm certain it was never so bad in previous console generations,
British banks (and Gordon Brown for giving (not lending, oh no) them our money),
Most remakes of old classic films, TV programs, and songs,
The weapon carrying limits, recharging health/shield, linear levels, infinite respawning enemies, and total lack of imagination that are killing many modern first person shooters,
Shopping (especially for clothes, and most especially for shoes). Birds like ZX Beccy and Kaija are allowed to not agree with this one, as it's a bloke thing,
Most modern "music",
Being mistaken for Brad Pitt. Doesn't happen to me quite as often as you'd think, in fact people pretend I look nothing like him at all, but I know they're just jealous,
Downloading a great torrent of books/comics/TV episodes/etc and then finding out that whoever uplaoded them named them inconsistently so you have to spend time sorting them out,
Other peoples' tastes in music. Have you ever wondered why is it that if someone likes music that you don't, that that music is always crap? A mystery, that one,
The way they dont put black and white stuff on the telly any more. There's lots of all time classics in B+W, such as Laurel and Hardy, the Will Hey films, some brilliant series films, etc. And I want to see if Harold Lloyd is still as funny as when I watched him as a kid. I keep meaning to torrent his stuff but forget just as often,
and a load more that I can't be bothered typing. Any agreements/disagreements or more things we might all hate?

....Of course that doesn't mean there aren't some select things I do hate...like emo's ;)
Well, if you didn't, then you do now.
You mean the Nazis, right?
BTW What of theirs (the Nazis) are you up against?
the enemy of my enemy is my freind. :p
my sig? its an online game i play, its my stats page on how well i am doing. trying to tempt fellow wossers into playing it so they can help me out in the game. ;)
i like a bit of office role play. im the big boss and she is the lithuaniam cleaner caught with her hands in the petty cash tin. 'get over my knee inga!!'
I was just wondering if there was anything in particular of theirs you were up against ... mainly because of that Preposterous Apostrophe you threw into the word :p
Not that kind Mile! im talking about 5 grown men in a room pretending to be disgruntled customers. Not all at the same time obviously.
Jordan

Jord......you get the idea, i can't stand her. What is the point of her? I mean she isn't even attractive, she has fake boobs, fake hair, fake everything. Even her programme on TV is supposed to be 'for the cameras' and not real life.
Yup, me neither. She actually was quite attractive before getting into surgery. I must take my hat off to Peter Andre though. He's a trouper for putting up with that complete mong for as long as he did...
well that doesn't sound like fun at all. ;)
Customers buying what and where? 5 disgruntled guy-customers all together in a room ... sounds like a start of a sordid, perverted joke! :-P
OOOOOAAAAAHH! Mysterious girl!!!!!!!
My point being they're bother spackers!
I have no sympathy for either of them, complete f**king simpletons the pair of them.
I think you'll find that's "WOOOAAAHH-WOOOAAAHH-WOAH! Mysterious girl!". Get it right! Tch! :grin:
It wasn't, isn't and never could be thats why i refused to join in with this part of today's training session. Which didn't go down very well, i may be out of a job this time next week.
Not my fault, my ears bled every time I heard it so it was somewhat muffled ;)
Tribuneral for unfair dismissal if you are, they can't force you to act like a numpty then sack you when you don't want to.
If you're union they won't have a leg to stand on anyway :D
You cover your neighbours with marmite??? :-o
Same here, well, it's not that I feel ill, per se ... just horrendously tired, super lethargic ... and it's usually for about an hour as you mention.
The odd thing about it though is that I KNOW that if I get up and out of the house and walk for a bit I become normal.
But it's those few moments right after waking up where it's like the brain has a problem with connecting the known cure (i.e. movement) and it doesn't matter.
So, I'm getting better are "forcing" myself to SHAKE IT OFF. Slowly but surely.
Yep thats it exactly ZX. My brother and my mam are the exact opposite. Like that twat of the Kellogs fruit and fibre advert that literally jumped out of bed when the alarm clock went off! aaarrrghh ! :razz:
Hah! My mom is the same way as me (she needs coffee to get up), while my sister is the opposite ... she opens her eyes and her internal caffeine immediately kicks in (she (and I actually) doesn't drink coffee nor enjoys it).
OK, this is just TV annoyances. My list of general annoyances would take too long, and would make me look like a total ass, if I?m honest.
1. Lens flare that has been added to ?enhance? a TV programme, film etc. Loudness in advertisements. Background music with everything.
2. A thirty minute programme that pauses every five minutes or so in order to explain ?what has happened?, what is ?coming up?, and ?next time on...? Grrrrr.
3. The ?public vote?, ?text us your experiences?, ?viewer interaction?. For heaven?s sake. Just make the damn programme. Use experts. Don?t try to create the impression that you care.
4. News reporting (particularly the BBC) which fails to represent the very close relationship (and friendships) between their reporters and the political classes.
5. Tony Blair. On anything, at any time. Ditto for Jacqui Smith and Harriet Harman.
6. Another bloody trailer/spin-off/plug for Doctor Who. Those people who want to watch it already do. Those who don?t, won?t. I?ve nothing against the show, but it?s already found its audience.
7. Plus, squishing the credits and talking over them. Really annoying. If the BBC persist in doing this, I?m going to complain. Surely this is a problem for folk who are visually impaired or perhaps just getting a little older? Mindless and insulting. Folk have either got EPG?s or Radio Times.
Oh, I feel better after that little rant.

thats with everything though , Advertisers have a volume limit to how loud they can go.. but compressing / brick walling it... gets a higher perceived volume.. same with music in general, brickwalled within an inch of it's life
