Things That Bug Me

I hate that T-Nation seems to be several time zones behind me, and they don’t have the day’s new content posted before my boss gets to work.

I hate when I can’t read this site’s updates on company time!

THe sign in my gym that says “Music Proudly provided by XM Satilite” NEWS FLASH…XM has shitty 60’s and 70’s music too!!

THe sign in the showers at my gym that says “No urinating or deficating in the showers please”…I’m just pissed this sign had to be put up.

People who go on about

  1. The French
  2. Women Drivers
  3. Asian Drivers
  4. Any pigeonholed catagory of people used to make disparaging remarks.

My ultimate hate- people who judge Americans, the French, English (btw I’m not fucking British- that concept only exists outside of Britain) etc. etc. without having known them. Or having known a small minority of them. Or having googled some shit about them. Or having seen some goddamn stereotype about them etc. etc. etc. It goes on. I challenged this shit in France when I was there, I challenge it in England all the time.

Classic quote from an englishman on hearing im going to live in france for a while “bunch of idiots those french people”. Me “oh right, met many have you?” Them “been to Calais”, Me "so obviously on first name terms with quite a few french people are you? Speak french do you? Know anything about the history other than what makes your country look good? Them “errr…”

FOR FUCKS SAKE! We are all people…I am not the fucking english flag. I am a person I am not a number! I will not brush off the french as arrogant bastards. I will not brush off americans as the world police, a bunch of obese bullies etc. etc.

I dont know about in America but over here I feel like one of the only people who questions the view of other countries that we are force fed every damn day!

Stop with the country bashing! Stop with the tit for tat who knows the most history contests. Its all bullshit. Condemning the residents of a country does nothing for anyone.

ITS NONSENSE.

I love America- I’m saving for 6 months just to see the place! I loved France. I love England.

People who know fuck all about a place other than having put their own narrow minded perceptions into context using random internet searches etc. or playing hip hip hoo fucking ray up up America/Britain/France (yeah the french are a fucking joke when it comes to their attitude to the Americans and the English too I know) can fuck themselves!

Fucking people sitting at their fucking computers who dont know anything about anything- Ive got friends who dont know anything about European countries. I personally dont know much about the American system of politics (I’d like to learn btw if anyone can suggest a starting point) so i refrain from calling Bush an idiot or making random judgements- after all as long as most people agree, then ill feel good!

Case in point: peoples attitude to Bush in America and Blair in Britain. Most british people dont know much about our political system.

They’ll blow off steam about Blair but they dont even know how he got elected or why. They dont know what his duties are.

Same for Bush. Every English person I have spoken to has no idea how the American system works. We see 2 guys, head to head and can understand it. Simple race to the finish. Everyone is saying Bush is an idiot- they must be right huh? WELL FUCK YOU ALL.

Noone who does not know the first thing about a process/person/system of government has the right to sweepingly condemn it in one go.

Heres another example…I’m studying business. I spend hours creating a group presentation on Powerpoint. I hhave to do everyones work because they are too lazy. I show it to them- “i dont like the background colour”. I DONT GIVE A SHIT!!! NO INPUT-NO UNDERSTANDING-NO EFFORT TO COMPREHEND = your opinion taken as bullshit.

Last example- the english wankers who sing “one world cup and two world wars” to germans. These people dont even know the dates of these wars. Or why they took place. They dont realise that the 2nd was not 39-45 for everyone! They dont know anything.

A lot of people are really putting themselves in a bad light in this world by being absolute twats and spouting off shit that they really should be beaten for saying.

Just chill with the bashing of other peoples/standards/ways of life/history/current economic climate without a fucking clue of what is happening and why. And please dont quote some complete load of turd as a “source” for some shitpacket argument that backs up what you thought of whilst cutting your toenails.

JUST SHUT UP. MEET PEOPLE. PLAY FUCKIN NICE.

NOTE!! This rant is not aimed at specific people. I just think that its a shame that a site full of such intelligence can deteriorate into the “fuck you” matches that it does.

Please excuse the enormous amount of swearing, the appalling punctuation, the badly spelled words etc. etc.

I got a bit angry. And before anyone accuses me of country bashing this little rant applies equally to everyone everywhere.

We are all guilty of allowing ourselves to spout bullshit we havent thought through. About things we know nothing about.

Here’s to a merry fucking new year

ps.s when i say i am not the flag i mean i am a person first, a patriot second. Goddamn it I’m ME.

The glorification of corporate America

People who do not form there own opinions; they depend on the thoughts of others to form there own outlook on life. (We are all guilty of this to a degree, but the worst do not even realize it.)

Bosses who are neurotic

How a lot of people loss sight of right and wrong all to be part of a group (democrats, republicans, etc.) Chris rock was right; everybody just wants to be in a gang.

At the risk of enraging you, I have to point out that your #4 is YOUR #4.
Get it.

LOL

I’m not so enraged now. Still, the bullshit continues in the Politics section!

I would love to reason why i can attack these dimwits but Im trying so hard to write an essay about the Alstom share price crash of 03 that I’ve gone cross eyed.

Jaimeo- “Heres another example…I’m studying business. I spend hours creating a group presentation on Powerpoint. I have to do everyones work because they are too lazy…”

Amen to that brother. I can’t stand group work in education (or in any aspect of life). The idea is entirely ludicrous; somebody always gets shafted and does all the work while the rest of the group slacks off.

Laughing…so hard…can’t breathe…much better, here we go:

-Atkins Breakfast Cereal, so wrong on so many levels…

-Atkins in general for that matter

-Girls who are not your girlfreind expecting you to do boyfriend things

-The middle aged skinny guy with the mullet at my gym who sings along with the classic rock; It’ll be “More than a Feeling” when I crush your nuts between two 80lb dumbells!!! Really angry about this one…

-Worse than the naked guy talking to you is the naked guy moistureizing in the tiny locker room. If I wasn’t so uncomfortable, I’d be livid. This is what happens when your “Iron Dungeon” adds chrome stuff, you get a moist ass in the face.

-if you think watching commercials is bad, try auditioning for one; picture doing all the stupid shit they do in commercials, but doing it in a tiny room and not getting paid for it.

-watching the commerial you’re obviously not in and half being glad and half wondering what you did wrong to not get the part of telephone idiot #2, 'cause I was a good idiot…it’s terrible to be that conflicted.

-When girls get miffy, passive agressive, whatever …I’m not that clever/telepathic, please don’t say fine when you don’t mean it.

-Getting psyched up to write something funny only to have your funny run out on you; the premature ejaculation of the T-Nation post world.

Oh that was you? Sorry. But I can’t stand folks driving like friggin’ grannies in front of me. I know the sign says speed limit 70, but that really means speed limit 85.
Hehehehe

HA! You wish. I got a V6 baby, FUEL INJECTED! After 14 years it still pulls about 70-85 horses. No, you don’t want to F**k with me. I will leave you choking in a plume of uncombusted fuel and motor oil. NO TRUCE! (J/K)

People who bring their coffee to the gym in the morning. I tried to bring my Fruity Pebbles, but I spilled them all over the dumbbells.

People who talk on cell phones while taking a dump in a public restroom. Not only do I have to smell them, I have to hear them too. Gad!

Yeah, I hate this too. And you have to wonder what the person on the other end is thinking when they hear “So, hey man, what’s grunt going groooan on with splash you?”

I can’t stand the retards who speak to me as if I don’t speak or understand english, just because of my ethnicity. I’m an AMERICAN born and raised in the U.S.A., for Pete’s sake, with several american college degrees. And yelling at me still won’t convince me to buy your already stupid point.

Hollister. Abercrombie & Fitch. American Eagle. Old Navy. These stores are fucking bullshit. Even worse than the stores are the fuckin douchebags that shop there. I swear to God, some kids at school wear so much of this bullshit that if I didn’t know better I’d think they were sponsored by these mothafuckas. This kid in my sports science class, no lie, every article of clothing he wears says Hollister. Hes so fuckin smug too. Its like he thinks that the more Hollister bullshit he wears, the more chicks will like him. Fuck that shit. [/quote]

Alright, someone finally noticed that; to the above mentioned pussies who shop @ Hollister; you want chicks? Stop being such little sissy-gays and try to hve some manilness.

Now time for my own little rant, things that piss me off

Gays

Jocks (who think they’re better than you)

Adults who think just b/c I’m not an “adult” that I cannot possibly be smarter than they are; they have to be right.

Hispanics who flip a shit when you say “Oh, so you Dominican, and it turns it they’re from Colombia.”

Fellow teenagers who ask me “Why do you lift weights man, why do you take studying seriously man?” WHy, because unlike you, I respect myself enough to build a great body and develop an even greater brain, so that when I’m in the workplace, my interaction with people of your level of ineptitude are few and far between. “But, you don’t play sports man” Tell that to the guys who play football on Sunday’s with me.

People who look at people’s clothes and automatically sterotype them, not giving them a chance to prove their assumptions wrong

George W. Bush

People who watch Fox News and CNN, and believe that they are getting the real news; the government censors and edits the news. Why, becasue of a little thing called Vietnam and what happened to public opinion when the real news was reported. (No disrespect to any ex-military people, you “guys” keep this country, and its freedoms safe.)

Emo Kids

France, and French things in general

Stupid people in general

Ah…feeling better

People who think that because a person is brown that they’re a terrorist. Have you people completely forgotten about the IRA?

Whoa, whoa; the IRA is simply attemptign to free themselves from a government that left the country to die during its most dangerous time; the Potato Famine, and still has the audacity to claim authority over counties of Ireland.

The “brown” terrorists attack everything Western b/c they have been told we’re are “Satanic” and “evil.”
The IRA fights for freedom from a government that has not measured up to the standards demanded by the people it governs, the same reason the 13 colonies revolted against England. Please appreciate this difference.

Yes, I am Irish, have relatives in Ireland, and am in the process of applying for Irish citizenship, so my opinion is heavily biased.

If you want terrorists, look at the FBI, arresting a man from my state, NJ, for “blinding” pilots with a laser pointer.

Rude movie theater people.

They answer cell phones.
They talk loudly over the dialog.
They kick your seat from behind.

You know the ones.

This week in Vancouver a couple was being annoyed by some loud movie theater people so they went and got the usher. The usher asked the people to leave.

The people who were asked to leave waited around outside the theater and then stabbed the couple after the movie.

That’s right, the rude people stabbed the quiet people.

I went to the movies not long ago, with my wife. We were sitting two rows in back of four teens who were doing nothing but being obnoxious, swearing, being loud, throwing things etc. Between those four teens and us were two senior couples. They were distressed over the rude behavior that was directly in front of them.

After about twenty minutes of this, I got up walked over to them and told them to shut up, and have respect for the people around them. I sort of told them in a loud voice. (They actually settled down after that). By the time I got back to my seat many were either applauding, giving me the thumbs up sign, or nodding their head in approval.

Now you tell me I could have been stabbed after the movie let out. Thanks a lot :wink:
