Your irrational pet peeves

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I cannot stand these new age car commercials of "watch how our car saves innocent people from terrible drivers".

I don't know what about it pisses me off, but I don't know how any of these people got their **** licenses. Like, these are people who change lanes, back out of their driveways, etc. without even looking.

TV stations that show movies out of order... TNT is playing the Dark Knight Rises (inb4 "lolololol, why are you watching? that movie sucks! PLOTHOLES!!!") and The Dark Knight is up next. wtf?

When someone raps a memorized song that's not recorded and it's labeled as "freestyle". Drives me up the wall.

People hate that movie? I think it's probably the least highly regarded of the three but I don't think it's bad.

I like all 3. :)

Me too

Dark Knight set a very high bar (alltime good) and DKR comes off as a guilty pleasure kind of film.

[Idoit40fans]

DKR would still be a really good movie if it weren't following Begins and Dark Knight. Its definitely the worst of the series, but still a good movie.

[shmenguin]

Still a good movie. Has a lot of story problems though - not just plot holes. But its execution is top notch

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Both have big plot holes and whatnot, but the Dark Knight is more than just a "blockbuster" which I consider DKR to be.

First there's Ledger's performance which is beyond ridiculous, the character development of Harvey Dent (lawful good to chaotic evil) and then the macro theme of "someone has to do the dirty work for good to triumph".

DKR doesn't have any character development, the plot is entirely corny (a nuke? Ugh....) and there really isn't any theme...


Again, I like DKR, but DK was just so good on so many levels

When I'm playing a word game on my phone and one random keypress doesn't register, resulting in having to remove most of the letters and start over.

When Facebook or my cell phone is required to sign up for something.

When people refuse to make small talk. I mean, I get it, I hate talking to people. But I can fake it all day long when the social situation calls for it. I had a mom, dad and toddler in recently for a photoshoot and the dad was quiet to the point of making me uncomfortable. I kept making general small talk, talking about the weather, etc. and he never bothered to give me more than a "Yeah" or "No". He just stood there and stared. You're 30+ years old, bro and even if you'd rather be anywhere but your 2 years old's photo session, you're acting like more of a baby than he is.

[PensFanInDC]

Maybe he and the wife just had a knock down drag out before the session...

Meh, he could still fake it.

[PensFanInDC]

All I'm saying is that you never know what someone is going through. Maybe faking it really isn't an option at that point for some people.

I agree though. Bottling up and shutting off the world is never a good idea IMO.

I totally get that. I had to do photo sessions the day after I found out my dad had a brain tumor, the day my grandmother died, the day after her funeral, etc. I still managed to treat my clients like human beings and talk to them.

At this shoots, the wife seemed completely fine, bubbly, happy, giggling, etc. throughout the shoot. The guy meanwhile stood there with his arms crossed, left without saying thank you, etc. If they'd had a fight or there was something wrong, the mom should move to Hollywood because she's a heck of actress. I'm 99% sure the dad was just an jerk.

[shmenguin]

he's probably a jerk. which makes the small talk even more pointless. you'd have been better off talking to the 2 year old.

Did you try ticking his chin? Waving a stuffed teddy bear for him?

Yeah, he was 30ish and she was 19. I doubt a happily ever after is in their future.

I'll try that next time!

I hate small talk. I'll be courteous if people try to engage me in discussion but I'm not going to give you much, especially if you are a stranger and I probably won't ever see you again. I am comfortable with silence and I generally rather be left alone with my own thoughts.

Products locked in a plastic shell that's so hard, you have to use meat bone scissors to cut open.

No way

This does not fit with the reality I have constructed in my mind of SDD IRL

You're supposed to be obnoxiously loveable like all Italians
