Pet Hates
 

So you take your kids to the movies and it's ok, because you know that kids aren't quiet all the way through the movies, and it's only Prince Caspian and you only read all the books when you were a kid, so you're secretly looking forward to it really, and you settle down, laugh at the small town advertising on the screen, and realise that the two kids behind you can't stop talking... but that's ok cos their parents are with them so you think, rather stupidly it seems in retrospect, that they might ask their kids to be quiet and a little considerate to the other people in the theatre, but no... the reason the kids talk constantly throughout the movie is because their parents do too...

'Ooohhhhh, he stabs him! That's just like Julius Ceasar that is!'
'Hang on, this isn't like the book... they never did that in the book!'
'Oooooooooh, wait, here's the bit coming up where the ground collapses'
'Mummy, I don't get this. What's happening?'
'Well you'll have to wait and see won't you!'
'Blah blah blah blah blah inconsiderate yacking moronic chatter'
'I'm a trained monkey'
'I couldn't shut up if my life depended on it'


See, now unless you've paid for my movie ticket and the director has personally instructed you to give a running commentary to everyone in a ten mile radius of your seat because he or she thinks it adds to the movie experience, I don't want to hear your constant stream of diarrhoea-ic drivel, because it drives me absolutely ****ing insane!!!


SHUT UP!

Re: Pet Hates
 

Oh god, yeah I hate that too, really drives me :curse::curse::curse: I once told these three blokes to shush behind me while watching Trainspotting in a London cinema and almost got a slap, so I'm too scared to do it again. :unsure:

Another pet hate is the knobs (ok, students) who talk all the way through lectures. If they don't want to be there, why are they?!!!! :thumbdown:

Re: Pet Hates
 

God, I am sooooo with you on that one. We were at the cinema, Hairspray - and some darling little girl had been allowed to take her doll and pram with her - she proceeded to trawl up and down the aisles, bashing pram into seats and legs, running around at the front, sitting chattering loudly to 'dolly' the entire film, generally telling her that you must be quiet 'at movies':eek:. Tiddler asked if it was ok to stick her foot out and trip the brat up next time she came running past :lol:

I don't even know if parents were there. They'd probably gone shopping, thinking the cinema was a creche:rolleyes:

Re: Pet Hates
 

I took a quick look at one point and decided to stay quiet... they looked like they might have started a fight....

:unsure:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Movie tips:

Always sit in the back row because 1) No one can sneeze or cough down your neck and 2) If anyone in front is being annoying you arm yourself with a box of spitballs and a straw and you blow.....frequently. If they turn round you are just innocently watching the screen....

Re: Pet Hates
 

Exactly, you can't be too sure these days.

Just thought of another! People who have a runny nose who sniff every five seconds for the duration of your hour long bus journey/lecture/movie. Just blow your f-ing nose!!!!!! :curse::curse::curse:

Re: Pet Hates
 

I went to see Narnia last night, not a bad film.

Many kids there, quite well behaved, loads of noisy eaters...and loads of fart smells:huh:

Re: Pet Hates
 

:rofl: Yes, it's very annoying isn't it?

My pet hate is when you ask someone a question and they don't answer it, instead they give you the information they think you really want. Example: In Brisbane, I needed to get across a busy road to a large bus stop island thing, where my bus back home stopped. I couldn't figure out how to get to it though as it was sealed off from the road - I couldn't just cross over. So I figured that I must have to go via an underpass or overpass. There were a set of stairs nearby going underground and I couldn't figure if they went to the car park or connected to an underpass.

So I decided to ask someone. I stopped a couple of ladies and asked:

Me: Do these stairs (pointing) take me across to that bus stop (pointing again)?
Lady: Where do you want to go?
Me: (Pointing at bus stop) I want to go across there.
Lady: But where are you going?
Me: I'm going home.
Lady: But where is home?
Me: (Tell her the name of the suburb - now forgotten)
Lady: Well there is a train station not far from here. The trains stop there. It's very easy to find.
Me: No, I want to get a bus. I can get the bus from over there.
Lady: Are you sure that you can get a bus to (suburb) from there? I don't know myself.
Me: Yes, I'm sure. It's the number XXX. I just need to get across to the bus stop. Do these stairs take me there?
Lady: Oh, I don't know.
:curse::curse::curse:

These types of conversation drive me bloody batty and put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

Re: Pet Hates
 

It's very unimportant in the grand scheme of things but I do get irritated by the traffic watch people at roadworks :o The road is carefully coned so you see where you have to go but there's still a Health and Safety numpty with his lollipop waving and pointing to the way I need to go - YES I KNOW! THERE'S NO OTHER WAY!!:curse: I do understand though, they are bored rigid and would rather not be there but bog off! :rofl:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Leo Sayer !!! :curse::curse::curse: He annoys the hell out of me.

( sorry Leo if you are a BE member :D ) Actually no, im not sorry :sneaky:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Saw his face leering at me out of the local weekend paper. Apparently he has another album coming out - Whoo hoo :blink: Bet they don't release it in the UK :D

Re: Pet Hates
 

TV adverts that promise exciting information and deliver buggar all:sneaky:

An advert said "learn how to shop for a family on $21 per week". Hello I thought, that sounds interesting. I'm good with money but I can't see me doing that one so I'll watch and learn:cool:

So I watchthe show, only to see the bloody fookwit tell us to eat things already in your pantry and freezer - that way you only need to spend $21 dollars that week on your weekly shop:blink:

You don't say :sneaky:

Re: Pet Hates
 

:rofl:

Re: Pet Hates
 

It nearly tipped me over the top when i saw the idiot last week on Sunrise dancing with the Wiggles !!! :curse:

Re: Pet Hates
 

I know. I can't believe I fell for it:unsure:

Re: Pet Hates
 

It's not that you fell for it that makes me laugh, it's the fact they have to point out the bleeding obvious AND make a programme about it!

THAT's whats funny.

Re: Pet Hates
 

Hahah, I love the way he said he moved from UK because people didn't appreciate him. What a brat! :lol:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Thing is, I've yet to meet an Aussie who appreciates him either? Where are these people who apparently love him :confused:

Re: Pet Hates
 

I went to see Braveheart with my uni mates, and we cheered at all the exciting bits.

When the king scruffed his son's lover and dragged him to the window, we yelled "Throw him out the window!" and of course, he did! :D

Then when he knocked his son to the ground we yelled "Give him the boot!" and of course the king kicks his son, so we were well pleased. :thumbsup:

Other people were laughing at us, they didn't seem to mind. :)

Re: Pet Hates
 

the bickering over car parking outside your house when in fact you actually have NO legal right - get a life!!!!! and just walk the extra 20 meters to your front door.

Re: Pet Hates
 

Sitting in the theatre and the kid behind kicks your seat all the way through. :curse:

I asked a dad to ask his kid to stop once cos i was sooooooooooooo piffed off.:curse: He did though thank god. Maybe it was the demented look in my eye that swung it. ;)

Re: Pet Hates
 

people who are late - and never call to let you know they are going to be late:curse::curse::curse::curse::curse::curse:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Oooh I heard a song of his recently and I really liked it. It's called "More than I can say".
I love it :o

Re: Pet Hates
 

parents who let their kid walkaround/stand there with a big lump of green snot halfway down to their mouth.

People who spit

People who insist on driving like a ****ing looney AND are proud of it

People who scream and swear in front of kids

People who think they are better than everyone else

People who brag about the latest gadget they've just maxed thier credit card for

People who think they know the answer to everything - but when you ask, just feed you a load of bull so you are more confused than you started with.

Re: Pet Hates
 

Spitting is Yuk :eek:

Why do people do that? Mostly footballers too :thumbdown:

Re: Pet Hates
 

people who alk constantly about the bonus they've just got - which is more than what I will earn in a year

and then pay off their credit card debts with it and then spen like its gone out of fashion

LEARN WILL YOU!!!



(anyone guessed i'm in a bad mood)

Re: Pet Hates
 

I dont know but it makes me phyically sick if I see it. It really does.

Re: Pet Hates
 

OOOH yeah hate that too..

I had arranged to go out with my friend one night and she said she would drive and pick me up at 7.30...cool i thought.

When she arrived at 8pm and sat outside my house tooting :curse: I ignored it until she came and knocked at the door...which is what she makes me do when i pick her up.

She sat for 5 mins tooting outside before getting out and knocking, if she had been on time and tooted i would have gone out. Or if she had rang to say she was running late i would have been cool about it too. I just hate the disrespect of it all.

Re: Pet Hates
 

No I hadn't noticed :unsure:

much

Re: Pet Hates
 

:D

Re: Pet Hates
 

What's wrong H?

Who's upset you? I'll spit on them :rofl:

Re: Pet Hates
 

sprouts

the smell of honey

aniseed

lazy gits

cooking all day just to find out the kids aren't hungry and the OH wants it all between 2 slices of chuffin bread

going to the shop and buy everything BUT what you needed and then have to go back out again - classic me.

Re: Pet Hates
 

ew.

Nothing - just in a bad mood.

Re: Pet Hates
 

OOH OH OOH - here's a good one.

A certain teacher who thinks my boy is "mentally handicapped" and is the only one like this who, as it turns out,

was beaten up by a 5 year old and was throttled by him - but it's my boy with the problem.

and why the hell can I smell popcorn??

Re: Pet Hates
 

I like Leo.
I saw him in my local servo a few months back filling up his car so I said 'All right, Leo!'
We had a quick natter. I love him. He's so little. :teeth_smile:

Add to that the kids (often with parents) who put their feet up on the back of your seat...

Re: Pet Hates
 

God I hate that with a vengeance, it's the constant kicking of the seat that gets me, I've really lost it in the past.

Another one is 'since we've been in Oz' drivers who stick to 10k under the speed limit, right up to the point where the overtaking lane starts, at which point they accelerate to 10k over the limit. What ya gonna do, stay behind them knowing full well they'll slow down when it goes back to 1 lane, or overtake them and break the speed limit by a long way (at this point there's always some b****rd with a hair dryer near by)

You know who you are grrrrrrrrr:curse::curse:

Re: Pet Hates
 

Talking in movies (including doing it on the phone).

Sniffing and spitting.

Continually being late.

Kids with no parental control.


That, in part, describes Singapore. :rofl: I would elaborate but I know some of you are planning a visit so I really shouldn't. ;)

Re: Pet Hates
 

People who smell, and actually like the aroma of, their own farts!

Re: Pet Hates
 

They exist? WTH?
