Society & Culture Things that Shit me part X- The Tenth edition!

[peternorth]

News websites overuse of the words "epic" and "fail." The use of the word in general shits me, but I hate reading it in articles. It's lazy, and is just ****in shit.

dont forget

gone viral
social media
also the incessant use of ' '. just now on news website we have the following titles on the front page:

‘Oh my God. What has he done?’
Garner ‘suss’ of nanny on trip
Mum's ‘epic fail of fails’
Man ‘killed good samaritans for laughing at him’
Grand Designs host’s ‘development fail’
RAAF ‘set to match US Navy’
’Game changer’ in fight against ebola
‘Dirty Harry’ kidnapper given parole
‘I’m not selling my body, it’s right here’
Idol winner ‘smoked, ate’ ice before driving
‘I’d rather die than visit my wife’s homeland’
Lehmann’s odd Facebook ‘share’
‘It was no weird orgy’

doest shit me, or fail to understand, or underrate, overate, but i thought id put it here.

my faceybooky is today innundated with friends who are taking selfies downing cans or other alcoholic beverages. according to commenters, its great reward for dry July, well earnt!

commendations for staying off the grog for a month, massive credit to these friends. seems that straight after the event has finished actions revert back. ive learned that such friends really really need alcohol.

Sounds like he just doesn't like you.

brad hates you brah. just move on

Oh no doubt, just don't get why people (he) would do it even if you didn't like someone.

Hates a bit strong though

It's a form of bullying - whether he is aware he even does it or not is another thing altogether. My sister in law does it with me - speaks italian to everyone at the table knowing that I don't understand, even though to that point everyone has spoken English. Even when called on it she says it isn't deliberate, when everyone knows that it isn't the truth - I told her I didn't have a problem with it because she rarely has anything interesting to say anyway

used to have a guy in our group who would 'forget' me in shouts at the pub when it was his turn yet kick up a stink other times if i wouldn't shout the group when i was going to be driving and only drinking waters. arseh*le.

The other day I was talking to some workmates about how I haven't been sick in over a year.

Wake up this morning, whole body aches, sore throat, runny nose. FML, should've known better.

Also, bikers, again. Was driving on a residential street this afternoon, cars parked on both sides of the street, biker riding straight up the middle. Had to drive the whole way behind him going 15km because this idiot was hogging the road.

Why did you not toot him?

I gave a little toot but all he did was raise his hand.

Legs that won't stop twitching, driving me batty.

How much width between the parked cars? Any less than 5m and its not safe to pass
How late did he make you? Half an hour?

My favourite time of the year has arrived hard rubbish collection week. I will not confirm or deny whether or not I will report anyone sifting through rubbish out the front. That said I'm taking a different tact this year, I'm not putting out the stuff I want gone out the front until the very last moment (aka late tonight).

Why would you report someone?

 

[Xtreme]

Why would you report someone?

Because it's technically illegal to do!

 

[Off The Couch]

So petty

So? I can't think of a reason you would care. If someone gets use out of your rubbish, what harm is done?

I put it out the front for it to be disposed of, not for some random person to steal it and use it for themselves.

So petty

Hey now I just play by the rules set by my local council, I expect other people to do the same.

I admit it's amusing to watch people go through other peoples stuff like greedy vultures - especially when they have no shame and do it in broad daylight.

I've got two small bookshelves that I scored off hard rubbish, I sanded them back, restained them, and they're great. I ain't proud, and I have a lot of books.

I wouldn't have so much of a problem if people ASKED before taking the stuff. Case in point, one year putting bits of a tree out the front I had people knocking on the door asking if they could take the bits of tree log to use as fire wood. I said they certainly could.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

We regularly put things we don't want out on the lawn for people to take if they want. If it's still there a day or two later then bring it back in and it becomes hard rubbish or a trip to the tip.

 

[Cruyff14]

Another reason to show how petty Xtreme is.

It's ****ing rubbish? Who cares. You're throwing it out. If someone else wants it, who cares? Better than going to the tip.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I got a great chest from somebody's hard rubbish. Just needed a new hinge and some tlc. Got it valued and it's worth a couple of grand.

Second hand use is much better than extra landfill.

Of all the weird eccentricities he has this is one I just don't get.

How is the Antiques Roadshow crew these days? Still going strong.
