Not to mention that emo's wear ridiculously tight pants.

Seeing a suicidal guy with make-up, a stupid hair cut and tight pants. Its enough to make one puke.

I've got a good one: laws regarding marriage and divorce in the US. In marriage these days, a man essentially becomes a slave to his wife because she holds tremendous power over him. If he does something she doesn't like, she can divorce him. By doing this, she gets control of the kids, the house, half of the accessories, and half of the man's paycheck. He loses his kids, his house, and half of his earnings and is then forced to pay support for his ex-wife and the children for the rest of his life. This would be the same thing as a previous employer paying his fired employee his wage the rest of his life. Absolute BS, I tell you.

There isn't a chance in hell I'm getting married (no offense to those that are).

What's worse, Cowhead, is that the woman still gets everything even if she simply gets bored of the man and leaves him. It's the same over here in the UK.

When you order cold drinks in restaurants/bars and they give you a small glass completely full of ice. The ice takes up all the space, leaving no room for the drink, and if you don't drink it quickly enough, the ice melts and everything gets completely watered-down! Only a couple of ice cubes, please. What's worse is that these bars/restaurants seem to think that filling the glass with ice generates more sales or something, because they seem to do it everywhere I go.

Good one! By putting more ice in the drink, you get less of the product. It's almost like it's part of a scam to get you to pay more (bigger size drink) for less.

when old people get annoyed by the smallest things, get cranky too much and more.

Lucky I don't live in the US.

EDIT: in view of the recent Hunk Thread for sexual equality, I petition for a Grumpy old Women thread to be created in the Tavern.

When damn boars lift up the fences on our farm. Our sheep get out, my neighbors complain and I have to drop what I'm doing and get those damn sheep back in. Ready to sit in a tree and just shoot the damn pigs!

Reality TV shows. You know the ones. Big Brother, Celebrity Love Island, I'm a celebrity get me out of here! et al. Why oh why would anyone, with more than two brain cells functioning, volunteer to watch this drivel is beyond me.

Talk about dumbing down TV.
