Grumpy Old Forumers

[TheJonesy]

I hate people who use Facebook as a means to define their social competence. You have three hundred friends? Congratulations, you'll talk to three of them.

[Claude4Catalina]

I think I'll just define the source of internet hate-Facebook.

 

like Jonesy said, you can have 300 friends but you'll only talk to your IRL friends (if any) or talk to someone when needs be. its like having the whole of your school on your friends list, having your year on your friends list makes sense, but having all the lower years who should be back on Bebo is stupid, you're never gonna speak to them, and it'll probably spark the awkward 'hu r u bbz?' situation, in which you look like a pedophile. and when you attempt to calm as situation as you would in real life, everyone turns into the keyboard warrior, throwing empty threats and generally looking like an arse.

 

another thing is ppl who spk lyk dis?

 

whats the point? nobody can understand you, so conversations end up awkward.

 

just as a side note, about 2 years, I was seeing a girl who didnt understand what BRB meant...so we'd be speaking on MSN, I'd say BRB 10 mins, then the next dya she'd flip at me for ignoring her. I saw the funny side of it, and eventually told her what it meant after letting her make an idiot of herself a few times.

25 mbps? pssh, I just did a quick speed test and hit 92.02 mbps. Sometimes up to 140. I only pay about $70 a month for it. I am sorry for you guys on the other side of the globe who can't have that luxury.

I interact with everyone on my Facebook. Most are people I know in real life but some are good people I've met through IRC, GTAF and other online communities I'm a member of.

 

Not all people add every single f*ckwit that adds them, some of us use Facebook for how it was intended, you know, keeping in contact with friends.

 

 

I hate people who dislike Facebook/Myspace or any other form of Social Media. They tend to dislike them because they see no reason to use it. Well, f*ck that. I live in New Zealand, I have family in England and my friends are all in the US. If it wasn't for Facebook, I'd have to write 4 different mass emails weekly. With Facebook, I can post up a simple status and everyone can read it.

 

It's like if we got rid of sh*t cause some douche bag online couldn't find a need for it, I'd claim I can't see a need for all the sh*t I hate simply to get rid of them. One would be douche bags online that can't find a need for anything and inherently hate everything because of it.

 

These things exist because there was a need. Twitter obviously filled a market, Facebook stole the market, GTAF fills a market need. I think more people need a basic Business understanding.

 

 

[Claude4Catalina]

dont get me wrong, I use Facebook to stay in contact with old school friends and distant relatives, its just how you get the minority who abuse it, use it as a diary (although I post my own lyrcs as my status and use them according to how many likes I get) but the people who update constantly with worthless gibberish, such as a 12 year old posting:

'OMG I luff mah boyf (insert name here) so f'in much! much luff to all mah peepz <3' every other week makes you question the sanity of some people.

 

Facebook was a damn good concept turned sour by a minor group of inbreds.

[Icarus]

My internet is $50/month and I think my maximum usage is capped at 250 GB and my speed is supposed to be 50 Mbps, but it's usually around 25 Mbps.

 

Trust me, I'm not complaining about what I have.

You're probably not with one of the "big guys", are you?

Actually, I am with Shaw Communications, which is one of the big guys in Western Canada. As far as I know, it only goes as far east as Ontario.

You know you can ignore those posts and still have the person as a friend.

 

 

It is that kind of bitching I hate the most about Facebook.

 

'ZOMG, people like totally put like their sh*tty lives onto my wall and I don't like it cause I'm a 4chan neckbeard arrogant asshole who thinks the world should only post what I like'

 

Get the f*ck over yourself, seriously. Block those people from Facebook or ignore their statuses updates.

 

I hated seeing Farmville, PizzaVille, Whoreville and whatever f*cking new thing people play popping up. You know what I did? I didn't bitch. I f*cking blocked that sh*t.

 

This extends beyond Facebook. Everyone today acts like the World owes them something. Son, you ain't owed sh*t. Get off your fat ass and work for what you want. Stop expecting it to fall in front of you on a gold plated whore.

 

What the f*ck happened between the time I was a kid and today? Did parents just say 'f*ck it, let the State deal with it?' And who the f*ck allowed the State so much power? I see it everywhere. In America, England, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Germany. Why the hell do people want the Government telling them how to f*cking live?

 

 

[Claude4Catalina]

...and then when civvies give the government too much power, the same very people who wanted the government to hold their dick while they piss, end up kicking and screaming about the lack of freedom.

 

I'm not saying they should post what I like, but the fact that they seem to publicly broadcast thier breakfast on a daily basis annoys me. its just unescessary when they know full well that nobody will comment/like the post, the same as people who constantly post gift requests for Mafia Wars etc, its unescessary and unpredictable, to go through a days news feed and block the peoples posts would be unescessay, same as leaving comments on such posts like 'nobody gives a f*ck, get back on Bebo.'. its never-ending, which can be amusing when you do get the odd keyboard warrior sparking arguements on Little Miss 'I luff all my 72 ex boyfriends's apparently heartbroken status littered with 'FML', only for Mr Bravado to get told he's a heartless bastard for pointing out the blinding obvious that, similar to this rant, nobody cares that your ex was 'the one' and that you've had more boyfriends then hot dinners.

 

another thing that pisses me off is people who sponge off the country. I got to college three days a week, and only get the chance to work fridays and some mondays, which apparently is rare for a 17 year old these days! I'm one of the few out of my friends who has a fairly stable job, yeah I'm not out every friday night getting drunk, but I work for my money and most of my EMA goes towards travel and supplies for college, I really dont understand how people can waste £30 a week, and then have the cheek to ask their parents for money? get a job! yeah ok you go to college, but satuday jobs are a dime a dozen in post offices and other small shops, so why not take whatever you can get instead of playing Black Ops until 3am then complaining about being tired the next morning? try unloading and loading vans from 8am to 5pm, its nowhere near the hardest job in the world, but after a day of it, you eventually get bored of it.

[TheBlackProject]

I absolutely hate it when I'm talking to a pretty girl, and then some punk ass sh*thead steals her from me.

[epoxi]

^ The key is...to become him.

[Iminicus]

^ The key is...to become him.

Yes, you must consume him both flesh and soul.

 

What I like to do is invite the guy around for a BBQ. Then when he shows up, I ply him with alcohol until he passes out. After he is passed out, I slit his throat, like you would to a pig. I chop him up into Human steaks, Human fillets and mince the rest.

 

You will need to eat him all with in a month, otherwise you lose his essence. Now, you don't have to eat him all yourself but you will need to eat his heart and brain.

 

Be creative when you cook him. Cook some of the steaks with steaks and no one will tell the difference. Human meat makes the best mince for home made burgers and lasagnas.

[Voodoo]

Imi knows what he's talking about. He's a verified expert on man meat.

 

 

[Freakorama]

It pisses me off how everybody I know drinks heavily and smokes like a chimney,

 

I do absolutely none of that and I'm the one who ends up with severe liver damage.

/From too much junkfood and caffeinated beverages. even funnier, i've been underweight all my life.

 

work that one out.

Well I hate to say this but to much junk food and caffeinated drinks are bad for you and can eventually lead to such illnesses. Although they are usually later on in your life, not usually before your 30's. Unless you were really knocking that sh*t back.

[Freakorama]

Breakfast lunch and dinner.

 

But I wasn't turning into a fat lardo like people say junk food does, so I kept going.

[wjf]

Have pretty much no sympathy I am afraid. I cannot belive that you were naive enough to believe that just because you weren't getting fat, that eating nothing but junk wasn't harming your body.

[Freakorama]

Understandable.

 

Its also understandable that my doctor doesn't believe that I never drink alcohol.

but also annoying.

[Iminicus]

I was taught by the best. Shame he is now locked up in prison in Germany. Who would have thought the GERMANS would be against a little cannibalism?

Thank goodness I smoke and drink. Apparently, that is the answer to a healthy liver.

 

Oh wait. I forgot. Real food and water too.

 

 

 

 

 

my little rant:

Weekend snowstorms, and/or overnight snowstorms. I want a f*cking snowday off from work. Overnight means they can clean up in time for the morning, and the weekend ones just f*ck me up from enjoying what days off from work I do have.

Skull Candy's

 

first off, they are hailed as the almighty headphone creator, then secondly, every f*cker has one, then to kick the dead dog, they break if you really use them. I had a pair of Lowriders, broke within 5 weeks, just outside the warranty. first pair of Smokin' Buds lasted 3 weeks, second pair lasted 10 days! granted I use them alot but thats like having a car that you can only use once a week! now I'm stuck with no headphones til payday, but f*ck 'em, I'm getting some cheap £5 ones from HMV, had my fake Dr. Dre's from eBay break, and from then on in, it was bad luck with headphones.

 

on a related note, anyone in the UK noticed to No Fear headphones? first they start with sh*tty clothing, now sub-par headphones, what next, energy drink?

oh no wait, jump on the bandwagon.

[Robinski]

I got one for the Brits: Half f*cking Term.

 

I know, this'll seem quite ironic seeing as I'm only in my first year out of school/college but f*ck, is it annoying. It's only been annoying since I now live in the city rather than a mid-sized town. Everything becomes just that little lot more crowded. It's ridiculous now because it's not just the kids, you've got all the parents too, who may or may not be with the kids they took time off to be with. Chavvy kids now infested the metro at all hours of the day, offering out random people to show how hard they are to the other sprogs. Little kids nearly trip you up at every turn because you're not used to staring at the floor in your usual walking manoeuvres. All the indie/"cool"/goth kids clog up shops like HMV so you just can't catch enough breath to let out an exasperated sigh. Don't even think about trying to get something to eat in the city, at least anywhere that's open to the public, 'cos you'll be waiting at least 10 minutes to get it. Don't bother listening to music when out and about, it'll just become background noise as your concentration is locked to the Tetris-like mindset you need to dodge in and out of all the family groups on the street, who won't separate even more than a foot because, you know, everyone is trying to abduct your kids, they totally aren't just trying to avoid walking in the f*cking road.

 

I don't know where they all come from to be honest.

[Rebel]

Gotta agree with you there Rob. Totally forget the school holidays now myself, however I went into a local town today to look for some sunglasses for my trip and it was f*cking crowded. The car park itself was pretty much to capacity. There was a good 5-10 minute wait for Tesco petrol (did you know its 1.24 for unleaded? Cheap) so no wonder it was crowded but we didn't need any so got off lucky. Also when walking around the center for different stores there was nothing but kids with their parents in huge little clans, running about like wild freaking animals and making all sorts of odd noises. Barn yard springs to mind. Went into McDonalds just before leaving since I was hungry and it was rammed to the sky with even more little kids and their parents, all with f*cking big pushchairs which made it impossible to even get to the register. Apparently while I was ordering and my mum was standing next to me this 9-10 year old kid was actually leaning on the side of my mum, I mean the f*ck is that about? You'd think they'd learn some manners by now.

[Claude4Catalina]

half term is the time when I was I was 12 again, just so I can kick f*ck out of the arrogant little sh*ts.

 

gonna revisit the Facebook rant, two things:

• The whole 'zomg I can't sleep!' updates...

These seriously annoy me, some examples;

I can't believe I'm up this late, blatent sleep problems!-posted at half 11 on a school night.

People like that piss me off, it's like, 'no, 12 year old, you do not have sleep problems, you just don't know when to switch off your PC. come back when you're going 1 or 2 days without sleep/any specific substances.

I can't sleep, help me!-posted from a PC on 2am.

Yes you can sleep, you're just choosing to stay up at stupid hours. if these type of status are posted by text message/mobile phone, you can understand to an extent, because the likelyhood is that they are laying in bed and ATTEMPTING to sleep. not staying up on Facebook and MSN trying to make futile conversation.

 

 

• Facebook is my life

Right, I deleted someone because it was constant depressing statuses because he had an arguement with his GF. (he's a bit of a f*ck-up, 16 and engaged to a wannabe gypsy, f*cking brainwashing by My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding.) and yeah, he opening confronts me about in the street...over Facebook? we didn't really speak at school, I never really liked him.

(look up Shepzy on youtube, I dunno if the video is still up there of him 'MCing', but it served a good few weeks of laughter.)

But really? has it got to the point where people dedicate their lives to Facebook?

Who the hell is this Morsaw character?

 

I saw the tittle of his locked topic. I didn't enter in....but I still want to know one set of things.

 

WTF!....and Who The f*ck is he?!

 

 

 

Srsly

 

I am offended....tell me that I am over reacting and the topic was hokey and all just for the lulz of getting people to go in there so he can troll some more or something.

 

The Pedo Bear Death By Firing Squad is a great way to deal with issues in my opinion.

 

.......end rant....

 

I feel much better now.

 

Searching for Imi's supper isn't as hard as I thought it would be......I just look at some of the tittles of locked topics.

 

Excuse me while I continue to look for more meant for Imi.

You confused me on the second half. I guess between the two of us that should be pretty easy .

 

Anyway if it is still relevant. That topic was a celebration of his 100th post. Witty title and all.

When I was in kindergarten I was so excited that my teacher was visiting my house, as she pulled up in the driveway I ran out and took a piss on the tree in the front lawn.

 

True story.

 

And the moral is... young people get excited over odd things.

To be fair, skullcandies have always been crap, you bought 3 pairs? also what do you expect when you buy fake dres from ebay.

 

I suggest buying bose over ear headphones...noise canceling that will protect your hearing.

[Claude4Catalina]

admittedly, with the Skull Candies I was being a sheep, but I've become one of the few out of my friends with common sense NOT to buy SK's because every other f*cker has them, and the Dre's were a bit of an odd deal, I mean £22? I should have seen it coming, but such as the follies of youth.
