...any why.
1. Football - Boring as fuck, repetitive and dull.
2. Discussions about Football - Why do people give a fuck about pampered faggots who are grossly overpaid?
3. People spending 1000s on something because "it looks nice", ie. Gucci handbags.
4. Going to the pub - Smelly shitholes that are full of drunken old codgers. If I wanted to get pissed, I'd stay at home. If I wanted to see my mates, I'd invite them over.
5. Hipsters - Their irony pisses me off. The whole novelty wore off ages ago.
6. Local musicians - dull pretentious shite. Indie my arse. :wanker:
7. Utter devotion or snobbery in a hobby that sucks the fun out of it, ie. film snobs in photography.
-
Religion
Attraction to fat people
Cookery books
People who only read fiction
Licking people's arse
Fake tan

Everything Schleed mentioned and in addition:
8. Pacifism. You won't overthrow something really bad with peaceful means, which any moron should understand. Sometimes violence is necessary.
9. Religion. That you believe in something completely irrational without even (at least in most cases, I guess) being a "real" nutjob.
10. "Friendship" with some bitch that dumped you for an idiot.
11. Circumcision. The foreskin is there for a reason.
12. Blind faith in the state. As stupid as religion, or even worse, since it's even more unlikely that a human of flesh and blood would be perfect than that a god would.
13. The belief that we have democracy in the sense that "average people" really have some power.
14. Political correctness. Like someone said, PC is the belief that you actually might be able to pick up a turd at the clean end. Often paired with pacifism.
15. Why most women always think that this and that is "cosy", like drinking coffee in a certain café.
16. Small talk, often merged with its close relative, the lie.
-
1. Religion - If I can't see it or touch it, I've got a problem believing in it.
2. Football - Grown men running around in tights chasing a ball and slapping each other on the ass. On second thought... :zoinks:
3. Marriage - Why?
4. Decaf, lite beer, & non-alcoholic wine - Pointless.
5. Minivans - :zombiefuck:
-
1. People who need to 'find themselves' - wtf?
2. Feng Shui - just stick it over there and stfu
3. Suicide Bombers - how do they prepare themselves mentally
4. Bullfighting
5. X Factor and Britains got talent - why do people watch such drivel !!!
6. Soap opera's
7. Jazz music

Laid.
Fixed. :zoinks:

People - Because some days this fact is so alarmingly apparent.

I don't get the whole fixation so many women seem to have upon getting
engaged and married :wedding: , not entirely out of love for the guy, but out of
a.) a need for validation of themselves as women,
b.) material greed, especially for a diamond ring that their peers will envy, and
c.) a lifelong dream of having a "fairytale wedding" and "feeling like a princess."
I joke at work that if I ever do get married, I'll probably plan a lunchtime elopement to City Hall,
followed by a return to work for the rest of the afternoon! :laugh:

Bigger the wedding, quicker the divorce.

I 'get' all of these things, at least as far as understanding why other people engage in these activities. I find it easy to imagine myself in different psychological states, and there are states in which it would make perfect sense for me to enjoy watching a football match, or be devoutly religious, or lick the rancid ass-drippings from road kill. Although I have no interest in football matches, I can imagine myself identifying with a team to the point that I feel joy and grief at the progress of the match, and imagine the exhilaration of feeling like part of a group, the feelings of aggression towards supporters of the opposing team and other aspects of what I'd experience if I was a different person with a different psychological profile.

:lol:
Matrimonial longevity = Wedding Size(cube root of pi - if you do not see why, then go get married)/ :violin: :wanker: :screwy: (tooth paste tube middle squeezing)(refrigerator cluttering)(toe nail hygiene)(food smacking) ... a theorised formula, mind you.
Those variables, ill-defined by smilies and set in parentheses, represent very large numbers dividing the expected longevity of matrimonial bliss. The afterglow ain't what it's cracked up to be. LOL
According to most calculations, any particular marriage, regardless of the wedding, stands a very small chance of succeeding.
:hahaha:

I had the diamond ring and also the wedding, but just not a very expensive one.
My husband bought me the diamond ring and he was the one who very much wanted a wedding, since he had never had one before.
I would have married him anywhere if it would have been just us, but if he wanted an actual wedding, I wanted it to be in the church I grew up in.
I'm sure that it was probably the most expensive party we have ever thrown in our lives, but I think the whole affair cost less than $2000 including the wedding dress, which was a handmade copy of an old Victorian dress my aunt found in her attic and gave to my mother, who gave it to me. The lace and buttons were still intact, but the cloth was rotten and falling apart, so I bought new cloth, which cost around $200, and had a seamstress friend make it for me. I planned to make it myself and carefully took apart the old dress to reuse the old lace and the buttons and use the rest as a pattern for the new dress, but I spazzed when it was time to cut the new cloth, which cost $10 a yard. At that time, it was the most expensive cloth I had ever bought.

That sounds like a lovely wedding. I'm talking about the five-figures-or-more extravaganzas,
the planning of which leads to poverty and insanity for all involved! :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA: :GA:

I don't understand these materialistic women who judge prospective dates by their shoes. :screwy:

My friend's mother actually told her to judge a man by his shoes and whether or not they were clean. She told her, "If his shoes are clean, then you know that his underwear is clean."

Well, there's no guarantee about that IMO, but at least she was concerned about cleanliness.
I'm talking about women who judge the man harshly if his shoes are cheap, scuffed or unfashionable. :dunno:

Thanks. I think that it was lovely.
I agree that too many couples, especially some brides-to-be, focus entirely too much on the wedding day, which is just one day out of their lives, and not nearly enough on the marriage which will follow, which is supposed to last for the rest of their lives.

He might just have new shoes.
That's stupid imo. I don't bother much about my shoes unless they have dog shit on them or something
I always have clean underwear on though and I am clean in general

Yeah, I think some women reject men for having dorky or shabby shoes because they require a stylish man.
That's fine at some times in life, and maybe for some it remains a lifelong deal-breaker. To each her own. :dunno:

I've never understood the shoes thing at all though
I mean who even notices people's shoes?? Your eyes are up here ^ while you're feet are all the way down there v
And shoes are bound to get messy , especially in certain weather and stuff

That's what I don't get. For some women, it apparently is second nature to check out a man's shoes
and make a split-second judgment. Good luck, ladies, you take the hipsters and leave me the dorks! :asthing:

:agreed: apart from if someone isnt wearing any (i would probably notice then) i dont think i would judge anyone on footwear. When i was in the army though, if you were copped with dirty boots you would be punished and humiliated in front everyone!!

I was only a Private! lasted 10 months - it was evil. Someone shouting down your ear at 5.30am. It was just after they first let women in the army (long time ago - i was in early twenties) and they would take over the mess room and play porno videos. I was one of three girls in the worcestershire and sherwood forresters...anyway when i decided i had enough i had to get out of my contract so i told the CO about the porn in the mess, and i laid on a few tears (played the blonde card hehehe) and hey presto my ass was back in civvy street.

Ny brother was about to become a platoon leader, because he was :viking: and had authority, but he had an old bone fracture that was about to come back, so he dropped out. :-\

Games. Card games, board games, outdoor games, video games. The only game I play is
Chinese checkers. Especially, my brain isn't wired to understand the rules of card games.
It's all impenetrable gibberish to me. I don't see where the fun is. I'll never understand it. :dunno:

Chess. I will never get it.

The differences between PA and me.
PA - chess, Russian, nonfiction (only) must be surrounded by sound, industrious, hates travel..............
Me - scrabble, fiction or nonfiction, prefer quiet, lazy, likes traveling
Note - I took Russian in college (1 year), but don't remember much. I'd prefer to renew my acquaintance with Latin.

Lit should come back.
That method he used; "Lingua Latina per se illustrata", by Hans H. Ørberg is really good. I'm in book one, "Familia Romana", it is fun.

I don't think I "get" loneliness. I am never lonely in my apartment. I love sleeping alone.
Years ago, actress Louise Fletcher (then 49, as I am now) was interviewed about her solo life since
she'd gotten divorced and her relationship with young boyfriend Morgan Mason had ended. She said
something like, "It's no fun sleeping alone, but I'm getting used to it." :snooze: ... I don't get that.

I still don't get how to negotiate changing social rules. It seems like they change for the least thing, like room temperature or something else I can't detect. It's even worse in Canada because the small set of rules I learned in the U.S. is only marginally acceptable here.
I don't get why in Canada, "polite" seems to mean "doormat" so you get demerits for being impolite to people who are being rude. Who gets to be rude and why is that OK? I don't get it.

Passive aggression might be an acceptable outlet. Mom's favorite passive aggression is prayer. She tells rude people she'll say a prayer for them. If they want specifics, she tells them she'll pray they receive the loving light of jesus into their heart and stop disrespecting their own spirit with darkness. :laugh:

Well, that certainly explains the middle aged lady war that takes place in the metro all the time. Some of those women are downright scary about getting to a seat, while others have that look of self-righteousness on their face when they are defeated. Clearly they are praying for their deranged counterparts. I've seen these women fight their way onto an empty train - many seats left over after everyone gets on.

Maybe the point of this judgment is that you should "take the high road." But that doesn't
impress or enlighten the truly rude. Sometimes you have to address them in their own language! :fingers:

Thinking she doesn't actually pray for them; though maybe she does pray and I simply assume she's being a sarcastic cunt no one knows how to respond to. :laugh:

Cruise vacations. Maybe once you get on board it's fun. I dunno. People spend an awful lot
of money for a week on a floating disco. If I want a buffet, I can buy one and eat it at home! :devour:

Ah, but it's the hotel service and the pool.
I took a cruise of the Greek Islands (one stop at Ephesus, Turkey) and the best thing was when the meltimi (sp? cold wind that blows off the mountains) roughed up the seas and cooled you off from the hot sun on ship. I slept outside on a deck chair that night and woke up with a lot of bruises from the blanket being blown by the wind.

Have never taken a cruise. Am easily motion sick, and can't stand the idea of spending that much to possibly not enjoy the trip.

Cruises are great if you like being on the water. I have never slept so well as on a cruise. The gentle rocking really did something for me.

Moving cartoons. Print cartoons, comic books, jokes, etc. yes; TV and movie cartoons no.
-
I wouldn't do a cruise. No desire to be packed in like sardines or herded from one sanitized tourist trap to another. Plus the chances of getting gluten free food at the buffet would be slim to none.

They don't have scary eyes and for the ones I watch/read the interactions are simple or I can ponder them for hours without having to worry about making replies. I'm better now at jokes and puns than when I was younger.

I ask because a few unfortunate people never readjust to dry land, and live with debilitating
vertigo for a very long time after. A friend of mine had that trouble years after a whale watch. :(

Fucking decorating. All the little personal touches that people like to add to their homes.
I'm a reforming hoarder/slob, and all I want is to get my space clean. Decorating = cluttering
in my mind. I don't think I will ever buy another decorative thing in my life. My living space is more
like a bunker than a showplace. It has to be clean, functional, and above all, easy to pack up and
relocate from, should I get the opportunity. I'm 50. I feel my mortality. I'll be damned if I'm
gonna leave my brother and sister with a hoard to sort through if I predecease them. Less is more! :arrr:

Never understood decorating either, but grew up without stuff like that so more comfortable without it. Husband took it upon himself to decorate our previous home, maybe because I simply didn't or he thought I didn't know how, but his taste in décor isn't to my liking so didn't like it even though never really saying anything. Now the cleaning is his responsibility so he's developed a preference for my taste in aesthetics in our home now. Sterile and impersonal looking but very comfortable for both. Less is indeed more.

Fucking decorating. All the little personal touches that people like to add to their homes.
I'm a reforming hoarder/slob, and all I want is to get my space clean. Decorating = cluttering
in my mind. I don't think I will ever buy another decorative thing in my life. My living space is more
like a bunker than a showplace. It has to be clean, functional, and above all, easy to pack up and
relocate from, should I get the opportunity. I'm 50. I feel my mortality. I'll be damned if I'm
gonna leave my brother and sister with a hoard to sort through if I predecease them. Less is more! :arrr:
You can live a minimalist life by adding colour and patterns in your furnishings, rugs, drapes/curtains/shades, dishware, towels, etc. Make your life colourful, not clutterful.

My mother bought me one when I was about 10...no way in hell...not happening...never.

Cruises are great if you like being on the water. I have never slept so well as on a cruise. The gentle rocking really did something for me.
So you didn't get seasick at all? Did you have trouble adjusting to dry land afterward? :popeye:
Some people never get seasick. I don't--I have never been seasick in my life.

Vestibular stimulation. Roller coasters destress me and relieve depression and anxiety.
I once rode the Superman roller coaster (77mph peak speed) at six flags in W. Springfield MA seven times in a row. I stopped because they banned me for the day.

Yeah, but coney island and universal studios don't move around from town to town. Those places have maintenance crews. I'm talking about things like short term fairs and carnivals, where they take them apart. A long time ago I saw one of those dateline special type shows about mobile carnivals rides and it scared the crap out of me. If I had never seen that, then I probably wouldn't even think about it or care. :dunno:

Exactly. There's a traveling carnival that sets up in a parking lot near my house every summer,
and I wouldn't get on any of those rides. I know from my experience taking things apart and putting them
back together at work that all that wear and tear can cause weakening and breakage of components. :nerdy:

students who fail to complete 50% of an assignment and complain that they didn't get a passing grade. this one went to academic affairs to complain. her complaint? "student thought they [her team] had done better on the assignment." My response: "It's hard to do well when the assignment isn't completed."
i do have very strict rules so at the end of class i usually go through and and look for ways to make adjustments to the grades. screw that for this class - i even had students coming to me and saying "so-and-so was being rude to me." i seriously need to come up with a polite way to say "you're an adult, suck it up and solve it or run away."

To leave the motor running whilst, waiting inside and not moving your car for a minute or for a couple of minutes more.

She's very intelligent and detailed in her work; she's also very responsive to my work needs so enjoy working with her. Some people say, and um, or make umm or uhh noises when taking thought pauses in their speech. Personally don't like those duhh sounds in speech so avoid doing it and have silent thought pauses too, but her thought pauses are very very long so it sometimes seems she's finished speaking when she isn't. She probably has a lot of trouble with being interrupted because of that, or having people try to complete her sentences for her; would just prefer to not be one of them. It's a matter of managing my own impatience.

And another one. Also with a grin.
I do get sometimes that others won't get me.
A year ago I caused an accident with daughter in the middle of the road with our bicycles. She was livid, with all furious passion she has. And I saw she had no major damage, calmly shoved her to the side of the road, gave her a quick hug, and then, just as calmly picked up the pieces from the road. When the road was clean, I told her she probably thought I acted horribly, but I thought being safe for her and other road users came before emotions.
Then I apologised and got her home safely, and she said she had thought me completely bonkers at first, not reacting on any of her fury.
She could laugh at it afterwards, as could I.

The sun does good things for your skin too, the vitamine D your skin makes may be protecting your skin from cancer (there are indications that this may be so, if I understood it right, research is being done on that). Sunblock is not needed for most people to wear all the time. In cases of some types of medication or afflictions, it may be needed though.

the simpler ones that depend on dice are mindless which is why i like them. there are some games (blokus and rumis). we also have a game called quarto where talking isn't necessary. i also have a collection of games that turn multiple player games into single player games. my sister used to give them to me for christmas.
the more complicated games that require multiple kinds of dice, counters, cards and strategy defeat me, though if assisted i can play them. we have a game called doom that is mostly self explanatory and makes us laugh. the point of the game is to have your people die in the most horrible of ways. part of the reason of games is social interaction. this helps people like me who need something in between me and the people with whom i am supposed to interact. if it's just talk and it's people who like to just talk i am lost. i usually head for the room where the other guys are hiding. there we push each other's buttons and take turns glazing over or being the glazer.
i am lucky to have a partner who likes board games and is willing to help me with the harder ones. we have a really hard and long one based on the webcomic order of the stick that even defeats her (takes 'way too long to play), and she can play magic the gathering.

I walked out of a bookstore one time when the (very nice) clerk overwhelmed me with a greeting. :asthing:

There's a Waterstone's not far from where I am now with a clerk like that. She is nice but talk so much I avoid the place.

You can find the same stuff or better cheaper online 90% of the time...and you're not running to 3 different stores because they "don't have it in stock".
Wish I could do the whole grocery shopping gig online.

SO has to inspect the steak before I buy it.
His dad used to be a butcher.
...and I'm one of those weird veggie and fruit persons.
It would probably work with everything else.

So, you get everything, but the steak. The SO gets a to buy the meat.

how it is that people think that telling someone a sob story or that they didn't mean to do it will change the fact that they broke the law.
i caught a student who plagiarized from a paper purchase site. he wants me to believe that those carefully edited parts (that escaped turnitin because the material is behind a pay wall) were included by accident because he was using another computer because his child was in the hospital and he's a veteran and etc etc etc.
unfortunately he sealed his fate when in another post he reported that he used to work for TSA.

My father used to get some sad stories too. One of his students missed an exam because his neighbor's dog
was sick. Another missed it for the funeral of his grandfather ... his third grandfather. Whoops. :fp:

I have accepted the fact that I will never "get" 98% of the people I am surrounded with IRL...and they will never "get" me. :dunno:
It's a frustrating fact some days.

I will never get why some women like to go the bathroom in pairs or more.
I will never get when I'm walking to work, people make it so difficult for you to cross paths. When I step to the right, you step to the right so we don't bump into each other. This idiot the other day looked like he was trying to do a tap dance in front of me on the sidewalk. I should have thrown him a toonie to help him pay for a top hat.
I will never get my appendix back as I got into a serious car crash last year. I'll probably won't be able to drive for another year at least. But lucky for me, I can walk to work in only 15 minutes and I'm saving a shit tonne of money on gas and insurance, so I'll be able to pay off my apartment faster!
-
I prefer to go to the toilet/bathroom alone so I can pee in peace.
If you find yourself confronted with "the dance", just stand still and let them decide!
-

Because everything is a competition, even pissing. :zoinks:

I think going to the bathroom in pairs enables the ladies to keep each other company and gossip
in private about how the evening is progressing, while giving the men time to bond and become bros. :toporly:
-

It gives them a chance to talk about their mates, co-workers, their sex lives (everything from penis size to positions), and their periods.
Seriously...after spending over a decade suffering from IBS, I've spent a lot of time in bathrooms hiding in the stall when groups of them come in :P...I have heard things I only wish I could un-hear.

According to kids, boys are starting to go to the bathroom in groups now too.
Emancipation?
Kids look at anyone going in a group with amazement.

There are whole big areas of human interaction that I just don't understand.
I don't "get" the need for physical contact. It doesn't do anything for me.
I don't "get" loneliness at being single or sleeping alone.
I don't "get" the prolonged grieving so many people suffer from.
Probably because I don't "get" attached in the "normal" way.
So when people are gone, they live on in my head and I don't "get" all that sad.
Sometimes I don't "get" ME. ???

Games. Card games, board games, outdoor games, video games. The only game I play is
Chinese checkers. Especially, my brain isn't wired to understand the rules of card games.
It's all impenetrable gibberish to me. I don't see where the fun is. I'll never understand it. :dunno:
:cbc: bump.

Chess. I've probably already written this. Anyway, I love the look of various chess sets that can be had but I'll never understand the game itself.
-
lol - I don't get how people can want to live...without games.

Heh, I know how to play Magic: The Gathering, though.
And Catan. We have Star Trek Catan that's fun. Also Halo Risk.

I was more responding to Scrap's necro.
M:tG is significantly harder than Chess. Is it the strategy you don't grasp or the actual rules?
Because, I suck at playing Chess, but can understand the rules. If it's the latter, it's probably a mental block.
-

I’ve never gotten into them. The only one I sort of got into was Broken Sword on the Xbox. That was more of a point-and-click adventure game though, which was why I liked it.

Old-fashioned TV and movies. I can barely stand any of the newer stuff. Will never get why people enjoy dated special effects, odd acting, and unfunny humour.

Nostalgia maybe?
I know that I preferred shows from an earlier time than my own though, back when I watched.
Probably because I could see them every day, instead of having to plan to see them once a week.

It's both. I can't 'see' where the pieces will or should go and what effect they will have there.
I ended one game of Magic with Kayleigh at -30 and me still at +20. I should have written down how I did it because I sure can't remember it now.

I don't even try imagining. I just try to kill.
I'm good at killing, and lousy at winning.

How does that work, you get all the pawns, and get downed by the major players?

I miss chess, haven't played in years.

No, generally, I aim for the important pieces, and make good trades.
The cost is in position.

Hey if anyone fancies a game of chess, I'm game, find an online game, and PM me, its been a while since I've played, but I would rather like to get back into the swing of it and pit myself against those whos strategems and tactics I have not become familiar with.

Have only played against the computer the last few years, since my Chessbase subscription ended and I stopped playing online. Now, I can't be arsed.
