what are your pet hates?

[NickMon]

Sorry, but:

Girls with pubic hair

really gets to me !

[ross]

I wouldn't have bought them if I were FNM either, they've been naff since that one (or was it two) songs they released with the fish in the video.

HERETIC!

Mr Bungle were quite good if it's any consolation

I'm lying

Odd. I feel the same for those without (but not necessarily overly hirsuit).

This may be a bit embarrassing, but what the hell:

- Put my hand between the moving spokes of a bicycle wheel requiring stitches.
- Scissors in the head from standing on the back of a wheeled chair to reach them. Stitches, again.
- Climbed a 'rocket ship' climbing frame in the rain, wearing wellies. Fell down onto the crossbar in the ground, hurting back.
- Dropped a piece of plastic in a live lightbulb socket. stuck finger in to retrieve it.
- Stood on something in the grass that tingled through my shoe. Picked it up. Apparantly the live innards of a nearby streetlight, wrapped in green tape. Woke to see friends running down the street screaming. Ran after them to see what was up.
- Raced back and forth along a garage roof as fast as I could. Then agreed to do it again with my eyes closed. Saved from injury by luckily rollling just right down the nearby embankment.
- Used to ride my grifter by placing one foot on the handlebars and another on the seat. Separately, used to see who could get to the end of the street fastest and stop at the curb. Once went so fast I didn't stop, hit curb and flew over the hedge in front. No injury.
- Got into an argument with a friend at school. Fight broke out, or sort of, as I refused to hit him. He stood there punching me until he hurt my tooth, at which point two kids dragged him away before I killed him. A few days later I went to the dentist, who told me my jaw was broken.
- Got into an argument with some kid in woodwork. He grabbed a handful of metal rulers and started throwing them at me. Like an idiot I just stood there batting them out of the way. No injury.
- Got into an argument with a kid at school. He threw a dart at me. Like an idiot I just stood there and caught it mid-air. No injury.
- Staggering back drunk with mates were confronted by some guys who wanted a fight. I told them to give me a kiss, and got pushed to the ground. When got back I realised that I had a tear in my new jeans, and a glancing knife wound in the leg. Whay for alcohol
- Staggering back drunk with mates I was dared to run along the wall of a bridge. Did so, and jumped off the end onto a tarmac slope. Fell. Broke the tibia bone in my kneecap. Was drunk so I walked home 2 miles on a broken leg. I try not to drink much anymore.

I *KNEW* I wasn't the only person to have done this

But you sir, are a psycopath

And anger... Don't forget anger

Oh come now, as if you would believe the musical tastes of someone who saw Raven live. More than once. I mean ...

You're forgiven.

Another pet hate of mine:

The fact that hollywood writers dont seem to understand anything about recording technology.

I was reminded of this when bored and watching enemy of the state.
"Rotate image 75 degrees around the Z axis" has to be one of the biggest case's of dumb movie science ever.
Thats worse then the "infinite quality zoom" thats present in lots of films.

Car drivers who don't indicate.....before they turn a corner.....when I'm walking across the road.......

I'm not a driver, never taken any lessons, but even I know you should fucking indicate.

[illlogickill]

1) Power Cuts - I tried to reply to this thread on Monday, but then the power went off.

2) Zealots - 'nuff said.

3) Poor organization - Unfortunately the company I work for seems to suffer from this problem a great deal.

4) Ringtones - To be more exact, ringtones that don't sound anything like the orignal track.

Cling film shortages in Germany

[Harlequin]

Odd, dumbarse or stupid things:

I've said and done far too many that I'm still too embarrassed to mention here .

Here's one: being the shortest-term member of the Southend Shakespeare Company. I joined after a show, went to the after-show party, got pissed, did various things including my party trick of chucking myself down the stairs, got thrown out. Total time in the company: about three hours, IIRC.

Pet dislikes:

Hollywood writers and directors who feature the use of computers while evidently knowing little about them.

Car drivers who fail to even slow down when I'm on a zebra crossing. Especially those who have mobile phones to their ears at the time.

One that could have gone in another thread: almost all television adverts that include the sale of computers (I find myself cringing in dread anticipation of that CPU manufacturer sound).
