Grumpy Old Men

[AntiochusIII]

Ah, Beirut, the Kingdom of Peace and Love must receive this thread as a blessing rather than a curse. You see, grumpy old men feel safe to complain here because there's only peace and love welcoming them and not..

*BEEP* who *BEEP BEEP BEEP* and *BEEEP* which are *BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP*!!!11one!

(I have no idea what's I'm saying)

I think that may even be offensive in Morse Code!

I personally cannot stand extreme feminism. Because of these women who never cease to bitch, society has become feminized and as a result many of the men have been pussified. Ironically, afterwards the women then complain about the absense of the "real men" even though they are directly responsible for their diminishing numbers. Society has put women on a pedestal and many men are falling into this trap.

On a further note, I really hate those people that don't have a sense of humor and can't recognize blatant sarcasm (however, I am not being sarcastic in this post).

I really dislike people who shout abuse out of car windows while travelling at speed. Ever heard of the doppler effect, you joker? Not only is what you just did the most pathetic way to have a go at someone you can imagine, I didn't hear a word you said.

Another peeve of mine is the way adverts are much louder than regular TV, so I have to turn the volume down if I'm watching a film on a channel with adverts every time a break comes up. I've taken to just Sky+ing films I want to see, and then starting to watch about twenty minutes after they start so I can skip the adverts.

Also-people who don't indicate at roundabouts. It's possibly the most important time to indicate accurately, other than changing lanes!

Does anyone know who Barry Scott actually is?

OT: This is the best thread ever!

More on topic, I really can't stand how the music channels have turned into stupid celebrity gossip news sites(sometimes literally reading web pages), and how they pick presenters who have no freaken idea about real music.

I can't stand customers who get us to chip every last fallen branch on their property while we're trying to leave.

Job over. Chipper off and closed up. Tools in the back of the dumper. Talking to Mr. Shlobotnik about business and counting the cash. Lo and behold Mrs. Shlobotnik emerges from the woods with an armload of branches she collected and dumps them beside the chipper.

Open chipper, turn on, take tools out of dumper, chip branches, turn off chipper and close up, reload tools into dumper and go back to business with Mr. Shlobotnik. Count the cash.

Two minutes later Mrs. Shlobotnik emerges from the woods again with yet another armload of branches and dumps them beside the chipper. Grrrrr! Open chipper roughly and turn on engine, throw tools out of dumper, chip branches, close chipper up, throw tools back into dumper. Back to the cash counting with Mr. Shlobotnik.

Yet again, Mrs. Shlobotnik emerges with another ****** armload of branches and dumps them by the chipper. "Well, since you're still here... " Crash open chipper door, red line engine, launch tools out of truck, chip the stupid branches, close up chipper with great smashing sounds, rocket tools into the dumper, turn and face Mrs. Shlobotnik with a glaring expression certifying that if I have to turn that stupid machine on one more time it won't be branches that get thrown in.

Then she meekly peeps out, "That was the last one."

Grrrrrr!

Eeeexcellent, my thread seems to be a huge success.

Another thing that I hate: people who lie just so they can have a conversation with you. A big example of this is when you are talking to your friend about a game that's about to come out, and then this annoying son of a **** comes along and says "oh yeah, I got that game. I finished it ages ago." What's worse is when you correct them and then they come up with some lame excuse like "Oh, I thought you were talking about something else" even though they already mentioned the title of the game.

well, while I may not be old enough to qualify as "old" (yet), I definitely make up for that in grumpiness.

I also hate people who walk at a snail's pace in a supermarket, taking up an entire lane. Same with sidewalks, I walk at a pretty fast pace, and I hate it when people are so rude that they don't bother to step aside for a bit to give you room to pass.
I also hate a-holes (of either sex) that come from the opposite way, and it's obvious that unless either of us changes their course a little, we'll collide. And they don't make a move, and out of spite, I don't either - how can they be so presumptuous ?! Why should _I_ move ?
It seems natural to me that we both make a little effort. And of course, after we do bump, they have this offended look and turn their heads after me... well, **** you !

Another thing is when a whole bunch of kids walk as if they're all disabled/handicapped and take up a whole 1m wide sidewalk. Or any other agegroup for that matter.

I hate women who wait until they get to the front of a cue to look in thier bag for thier purse,and then start to sift though thier change for the right money.

I hate fourteen year old losers who think that being the member of a web site for two years makes them ******* old men. Muppets!!

I really hate phoneing for a job and having to speak to some half wit who can't speaky the lingo.fraggles.

I hate my missus calling my name out in public.if i want everyone to know my name sweetheart i'll wear a ******* name tag, is that just me?????

i love fraggles though.

Now in soccer, as you know, you aren't allowed to touch the ball with your hands...

That and they're skipping half the quarterfinals to show golf and are skipping the semis entirely.
