Mega Thread Things that Shit me part XII - The Twelfth One!

[peternorth]

You would struggle to cope in places like Turkey, I saw people there smoking at petrol pumps including the bus driver of our tour group as he was filling up.

I witnessed an employee smoking next to gas cylinders at a petrol station recently.

It sounds a lot more dangerous than it actually is.

Things that shit me...

Having to start a new 'Things that shit me' thread.

It sounds a lot more dangerous than it actually is.

Same with using phones on a plane. Some people seem to have the idea that the plane could crash if someone uses their phone whereas in reality there is a miniscule chance that it could interfere with the navigation equipment.

Sounds like your workmate just bought a car

Has had his car for a while. Another Darwin driver who cannot pay attention half the time.

I think they are implying your workmate just bought your car.

Commentators using the name 'the Bont.'

F**in come up with something creative you f***wits

 

[NorthernLights]

Agreed, not sure why "The" is necessary. Just his actual name or "Bont" would do. Adding "The" is one of the more cringeworthy things among commentators at the moment, and that's saying a lot.

This. There are a few things required to have a 'the' in your nickname.

One is being a good player. Tick.
Another is a possible play on words. No tick.
Another is a possible relationship to an object or noteworthy inanimate object (a tomahawk for an obvious example). No tick.
The last is to have something catchy or noteworthy about that name. No tick.

It's f**kin shithouse.

 

[Plugger35]

"The Bont" even features in the 2017 Bulldogs, sorry, AFL Promo.

 

[gaskin]

I don't know why they can't just call players by their last name. There is no need for nicknames or shortening of names.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

when dennis crumpet eats all the freaking crumpets...

agreed

Commentators/umps/media people are supposed to keep it professional, not make it personal.

Nicknames should be kept to teammates/coaches etc

Nothing against the players personally but **** it shits me when commentators overuse nicknames that in some cases they've made up

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Or every Saints player called Jack being called Jackie (Last Name)

Same with umps calling players by nicknames or first names

Just call them by the last name or number on their back

nah last name..

Numbers are too impersonal, they are people not numbers.

Lot of big females on my social media sharing a similiar sjw inspirational quote thing.

Something like if you lie about being pregnant on april fools day I will unfriend you and murder your pets etc. Absolute joke and a drastic measure to take towards something genuinely hilarious. This would be like 1 in 200 people thesedays. For perspective 10% of the population is asperger/add? That's really funny because basically all these sjw's will use the term "that's autism" in the context of anything ******ed. When an autistic person see's that on their social media hows that supposed make them feel as people. Why are people even allowed to announce they're pregnant when autism exists? Shouldn't they get morally deleted for offending autistic people who are far less likely to conceive?

I mean the unlucky couples at the very least just do it again. Rinse and repeat the next day even. I say these sjw's are putting less needy groups before far more needy groups and are marginalizing our already most marignalized groups in the process.

"autism" has taken the place of the word "******" in the insults vocab.

instead of "you are a ******" they say "you are autistic"

its terrible, but shows that calling people ******s (which we have all probably done) is just as bad.

Flogs on BF that use the word "campaigner".

Campaigner is a better word than flogs.
