Society & Culture Things That Shit Me( Part 5)

[Caesar]

People with high metabolisms. No matter how little they exercise they do, how much they eat and drink... they still don't put on weight. Bastards.

I wouldn't worry about them. Everyone's metabolism slows up with age, and because people with fast metabolisms never had to learn the discipline of careful eating and good exercise while young they often tend to be the ones that end up overweight in their late 20s.

*raises hand* - snuck up and slapped me big time. Not in my twenties though (no I'm not saying what age it was) but it also coincided with me quitting smoking and my complete disregard for watching what I ate (not so much exercise) is what has hurt me the most - lot harder to budge now as well.

Yep, whenever a game coincides with a Fremantle or West Coast away match they will play the game live on both FTA and Fox... does my head in.

Sorry to disappoint you.

i'm built like a garden rake, but to be fair i dont give myself the chance of putting on weight cause my eating 'schedule' is fairly erratic and eat anywhere between 2-5 meals a day.

 

[Opportunity Cost]

People who wear runners to/from walking to work in their suits/business attire....


I know why they do it but f ark me you look stupid...

So so true!

I live across the road from a primary school and people always ****ing park across my driveway by about 1m or so.

Speaks the truth.

I'm 31 now and this past ****ing year been trying to move this 5kgs thats just "snuck up" on me and its bloody hard- the weight will. not. go.


I miss my 20s when I could eat (and do the excerise at the same time) whatever I wanted.

Oh that woud suck.

Maybe park across your own driveway so they cant park there??? Either that or just back into their cars- jesus people are dam rude sometimes...

How dumb are people at the airport? They are about a half a step above sheep. If one person starts lining up at the gate, then 50 people line up. And then the announcement comes over that they are boarding rows 20-30 first. Do these people in the line get a clue and move or go and sit down?

No, they just stand there like if they move their seat on the plane will magically disappear and make you weave your way through to get to the front so you can board.

THE PLANE WON'T LEAVE UNTIL EVERYONE HAS BOARDED!!!!!!!! YOUR SEAT THAT YOU ARE ALLOCATED WILL STILL BE THERE EVEN IF YOU GET ON LAST!!!!!

Sorry, but this is just the result of two flights today, to and from Melbourne. I just don't understand some people.

Switching onto a station at the end of a song I REALLY like, only to have a song I hate, or been played every day in human history (I swear, I can't go a day without hearing an INXS song somewhere) start straight after

Quite similar:
Driving around in the car and when you reach your destination and are about to shut off the ignition a song you really really like starts to play. I sometimes just sit and listen out of pure protest. Hah.

Haha. Just like everyone jumping up the second the seatbelt sign goes off once the plane's at the gate.
Still going to have to wait for your luggage to come out of the carousel anyway, so what's the big rush?

 

[Caesar]

I usually wait and board last, but I understand why people don't. The luggage racks fill up fast and I often end up having to leave my laptop up the other end of the plane.

Yes, I understand that but having seen the way some people put their bags up in the racks willy nilly, you could easily fit a few more bags up there if you rearranged some of the bags to fit better. In fact I saw a few people doing that today.

But it was fine for me today as all I had was a small backpack with my jacket in it that I could shove under the seat in front of me.

Got a book called Serious Barbecue for my birthday that has all sorts of awesome recipes. Unfortunately the author has an annoyingly pretentious habit of calling sea salt fleur de sel in every recipe.

Was going to say this. The 2 times ive waited last to get on, i've had no room for my backpack in the stow away above the seats due to plebs taking too much with them. On both occasions also been told to just stick it under the chair in front of me.

Wish the flight attendants that scan the tickets would inform people that are trying to board outside the row numbers would tell them to step aside until the ones that were called upon get on. But i guess the tight schedules planes run on doesn't allow for that.

Would you rather 10 separate posts then?

Plaster their car with Richmond membership stickers (assuming you're like me and you don't throw them out, but don't put them on the car either).

The thing that shits me at the moment is the DUFF. **** off with your conceited little "go away" because I'm dancing with your friend who is hotter than you. Bitch.

Yeah that's really annoying me too at the moment. At least 3 times recently I've been dancing with a girl and all is going well, and then bang, along comes the DUFF and it's all over. Why girls so protective of one another? I've asked this a few times to some girl friends and all they can come up with is 'I don't know, I guess it's in our nature'. Fantastic.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

What do you find the best way to respond to it is?

You can't just leave because you're giving the bitch the satisfaction of making the decision for you, and you can't really keep going, because the second the DUFF makes the gesture it's curtains with the girl you're dancing with.

I tend to just keep dancing in the same spot but not with the girl any more, then drift away a few minutes later.

 

[getthefooty]

Yeah that's what I tend to do. One time when I was more pissed (in both senses of the word) than usual I told her to **** off and give me 2 more minutes with the chick. She replied 'you've already had 2 minutes' to which I replied 'so you're ugly and can't count as well, that was only about 20 seconds' which did not go down well with either girl, unsurprisingly. However I do think it's possible to diffuse the situation and continue to dance, just not sure how. You'd have to be a pretty smooth operator.

i get a window seat so I can be justified boarding first and finding a spot to put my carry on.

That's because I have found lately, which shits me as i generally travel very light, that people are taking a LOT of carry on luggage on planes to escape the prohibitive luggage costs and being let on.
Some of the shit i've seen people get on with is ridiculous.

Yeah, that's my problem.
