I'm sick and tired of...

I think it’s a conspiracy to make us buy more clothes. There is no evil thing I would not believe true of women’s clothing designers.

“I’m sorry IF I offended you. I’m sorry IF you feel hurt. I’m sorry IF I stepped on your foot. I’m sorry IF, IF, IF.”

If you’re apologizing for something and you IF the apology, you’re not sorry. Don’t bother.

Bacon.
Cats.
Your undeniably healthy lifestyle.
Running.
Facebook (in general). I need a break. The constant barrage of self-promotion is KILLING ME!

Preach it. I get my news from NPR, CNN.com, and funny comedians at night. I tend to consider myself well-informed. I could not give two shits about this case.

My mom’s more plugged in than me - she and Dad watch the nightly news (NBC, usually), The News Hour on PBS, local news at night, Bill Moyers, the whole nine. I asked her recently what her thoughts were on the Jodi Arias case. She looked at me like I had three heads. “What in the *world *are you talking about?!” I figured that if it’s all over CNN.com, it’s gotta be all over the news programs she watches pretty regularly, right? Not a chance.

You’re on notice, CNN: you’re pissing me off with this. Go and cover some news for once.

I’m sick and tired of idiots who work up HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars in debt going to college in majors that aren’t in demand, and then hearing about how this debt is crushing them as they have to work a series of service jobs instead of having their chosen career.

A little forethought and planning (and parental advice) could have avoided that- you could have got a degree with better employment prospects, or you could have gone somewhere cheaper to get your undergrad degree that you won’t use.

I’m sick and tired of hearing about people’s food issues. If it’s not peanuts, it’s gluten. If it’s not gluten, they don’t eat meat, if they eat meat, they can’t have shellfish, etc… Just eat it, don’t eat it, or pick around it, and STFU. It’s your problem, not mine.

Or no college degree at all - North America is crying for blue-collar workers, and that demand is just going to go up. There are a ton of fields you can get into with little or no training, and make excellent money at. They’re not all plumbing or hammer-swinging, either.

I’m sick and tired of europeans always taking the mickey out of americans. It’s not because I’m one of those flag waving nutjobs that can’t take a joke. I’m right on the other end of that particular bell curve. I’ve just reached a saturation point. After hearing for the millionth time another variation on the same tired aborted fetus of a joke, I’m beginning to get just a little bit insulted.

Hehe. My exBF’s idea of an apology was, “I’m sorry you feel that way.” :rolleyes:

I’m with her on this. I watch a lot of news on different channels. Heck, I’m so old school, I’ll occasionally buy a <gasp> paper. It was only here I heard anything about it, and when I saw the name in thread headings? I thought it was some poster that had thread shit or something at first. I had to wikipedia it.

And WHY does anyone think that girl is “HOT”? That is one ugly bitch, personally…

Ok, here’s my list for now:

Personal allergies - can’t eat this food? Get out!
U2 - The Edge (guitarist) - Great guitarist? I can turn on a delay pedal too
Trifecta - So, you learned a new word? Get over yourself and stop saying it, asshole! It’s a STUPID word and you look dumber for saying it.
College degrees with no future - Shoulda thought of that first, dumbass! (My sister, anyone?)
Bad drivers - WHEN can I get a legal mini-gun mounted to the front of my car?

That’s all for now.

Well, in all fairness, I’m sure he was sorry that you felt that way. He was also probably sorry that you called him on it. :slight_smile:

Could somebody translate the quoted post for me? I can read English, of course, but that post just befuddles me.

“I am bored of Europeans always making the same stupid jokes about Americans. Not because I think America can’t be mocked, but because the mockers need new material.”

I got a tattoo of Jennifer Hudson covered in Kale. It’s awesome… :smiley:

I am sick and tired of parents who let their kids do whatever the hell they want, regardless of the situation. Such as: family in restaurant…kid running all over the place being loud. Parent either ignores it completely, ‘asks’ the kid if it wouldn’t be too much trouble to stop (which the kid, of course, ignores), or promises a reward if they stop for a second: “Billy, if you stop annoying the piss out of everyone in the restaurant, I’ll buy you a toy and some ice cream!”

You’re the parent, be responsible. When my daughter acts up in public, I usually only have to tell her once to stop…if she continues, I get right down to her level and make it very clear that if she doesn’t behave, we will either a) leave, b) she will be punished (usually by losing something), or c) both. Since she knows we follow through, nowadays, I don’t usually have to say anything more.

You’re bad. I like that about you.

Being asked “Do you need some help?” I am capable of understanding and responding to other words and phrases in the English language; you can say something else to me.

I’m sick and tired of things that are 15 minutes old being called “classic.” And especially calling something an “instant classic.” And double especially trivial things like “classic potato chips” and “classic Coke” and the like.

I realize that part of the definition of “classic” is something that achieves perfection, so, in fact, something perfect COULD be 15 minutes old and classic. But the implication of classic is also “lasting and enduring quality,” so neither potato chips nor something 15 minutes old would qualify.

I had to google apron sink as I’d never heard of that before. Wow, those are ugly as sin. Why would anyone want those?

Classic Coke was used to indicate it was the return of the original recipe, which indeed was a hell of a lot older than 15 mins, after that whole New Coke fiasco.
