What Really Grinds YOUR Gears?

Kinda like when people used to try and be Emo, so they tried to listen to "emo" bands. Now swtich emo with "indie"

Its not an outdated concept, but what is an outdated concept is to say that pregnancy doesn't make a women look better, when its been proven that it does. Pregnancy improves the hair, skin, and nail condition of a woman. Her skin becomes fuller and healthier looking, which is why some people may remark on a type of glow that the woman has. So while pregnant women may not look much different to you, to say that pregnancy does nothing to enhance the natural beauty of a woman is just a stupid thing to say.

It also makes her fat.

Pregnancy does nothing for the appearance of a woman. At all.

This was particularly nasty, a girl in my class was wearing a Megadeth shirt one day, and while that doesn't seem like much, when the majority of the girls listen to only rap and country, finding a girl wearing a Megadeth shirt is like the holy grail.

I didn't get to speak to her about her shirt that day but I spoke to her about it today... and needless to say I was shocked

This was our conversation verbatim

Me: So, you like the band Megadeth?

Girl: Who?

Me: You where wearing their shirt the other day!

Girl: I don't know who that is!

Me: If you don't know who a band is don't wear their clothing, fucking poser

Girl: *under her breath* asshole

Needless to say I was pissed.
 
I hate Hollister, and the other stores that fill up malls around the nation. Look, I'm sure these people make fine clothes. I don't know, it's too expensive for me. I just hate the goddamned image that everyone makes out of it. I don't have a problem with you necessarily if you wear these kind of brands, but I can't stand people who think they're better than you because they're wearing it and you're wearing, whatever, Wal-Mart clothes. I shop at Wal-Mart. I can get a good shirt for 10 bucks, and it will usually have some kind of interesting graphic or design on it. Or, I could spend 60 bucks on a T-shirt that says "Hollister" on it. Whoo! Who or what the fuck is Hollister? I bet you 99 % of the people who think it's so great don't know.

Some people just wear it because they like the way it looks, and I'm fine with that. It pisses me off when people wear it and think they're so great, so wonderful. I tell them proudly I shop at Wal-Mart, because I don't have hundreds to blow on clothes.

I defy them with wrestling shirts.

What is it with Johnny Cash and people that suddenly love him? I'm not a fan myself, but I've come across so many people that follow what you're saying. They'll never have mentioned liking a single JC song and then out of the blue they'll claim they're the biggest fan of his.

And to me, I see no difference in the hair and all that. But on top of that, the instances in which I hear/see people claiming the whole "you look beautiful" thing are always the people that do it for everything. They'll say a kid looks "just like" the parents, and they'll say the baby is beautiful when it could be the most hideous looking creature on the face of the earth. They're also the people that see some gargoyle's myspace picture (which almost always says "I look so bad in this pic") and they'll comment "aww you're so pretty". And I understand how, if a woman's skin tone and such received an upgrade, she'd look better, but I haven't seen any instance of it myself, so in my mind, I'll believe it when I see it, and until then, I'll keep throwing it into the pile of people going along with the quote-of-the-moment...kind of like how if you know someone involved in a play or something, 99% of the people will say "you were great in it" because its just what everyone else says.

I also hate how "Indie" now is not what indie was when I actually listened to music.

I chortle at people like this. People who are THAT concerned with what brand their clothing is are the most pathetic of the pathetic. People who are missing limbs or in wheel chairs should pity them.


um, idiot, are you going to fuck the girl with your hollister shirt on?? NO. Im sure a girl will take me, my sweats, tank top, tattoos, and huge penis, over you, your spikey hair, diva sunglasses, and fucking 264$ hollister T shirt that was SOLD to you ripped. Punk bitch.


clothes dont mean shit. its what you do while your NAKED is what matters. No girl will care about the hollister shirt thats laying on the ground next to her bed if you aint shit.

Oh God, I know exactly what you mean. These people that are willing to spend 70 bucks on a shirt because the neck tag says something different. I don't see the point in it.

To me, there are only 3 aspects to take into account when purchasing some type of clothing:

1) If you look good in it
2) If its got a specific purpose (ala, you buy a coat for warmth)
3) Price

I've been to places that sell the same plain black t-shirts but with a different logo on the tag and one place its 5 dollars, another its like 25. You'd have to be an idiot to spend more money on it.

Not everyone, I'll do it because I actually mean it, others might be taken aback by the beauty of a woman during pregnancy and will voice their opinions. I also know that even if the complement is generic, it still be a pick me up for the mother - to - be as plenty of women understand that they may not be as attractive as they were pre pregnancy. I don't know if you have a wife or girlfriend Nofate, but if she were to become pregnant, you'd soon bet your ass that you be bullshitting complements to her, even if that's not what you honestly felt.

They'll say a kid looks "just like" the parents, and they'll say the baby is beautiful when it could be the most hideous looking creature on the face of the earth.

That's just common courtesy. If you and your spouse had a baby that ended up looking like a miniature version of Sloth and I look at it and say, "Maybe you two should have used a coat hanger instead" you probably wouldn't appreciated that much, even though I'm just being honest.

And I understand how, if a woman's skin tone and such received an upgrade, she'd look better, but I haven't seen any instance of it myself, so in my mind, I'll believe it when I see it, and until then, I'll keep throwing it into the pile of people going along with the quote-of-the-moment...kind of like how if you know someone involved in a play or something, 99% of the people will say "you were great in it" because its just what everyone else says.

and like I said before, there's a difference between just going along with a crowd, and doing or saying something because you mean it
 
Dunkin Donuts Employees.

Usually before I go to school, I run down to Dunkin Donuts and buy my parents coffee/tea. Usually it's the same thing every morning. I get an extra large hot coffee with cream and two equal. My mom gets a large, but with the same thing. My dad usually gets a medium tea with milk and two teabags, no sugar.

Pretty simple right? Then why can't the illegal immigrant behind the counter EVER get my order right? This is a daily occurrence. "Cream and three sweet and low?" No, stupid. Cream and two equal. The back and forth usually goes a few times before they finally get it right. The other morning when I ordered a hot coffee, they were ready to make a hot chocolate.

And then I order the tea. "No sugar?" If I wanted sugar, I would have asked for it. I don't remember the last time I even bothered to order a bagel or anything, because I'm sure they'd screw that up too.

I have a similar problem when it comes to McDonalds, except the McDonalds that I like is run my immigrants, no one but the people running the registers even speak English, but yet they've never gotten an order wrong, and their always fast and efficient. I go to the McDonalds a few miles away and their service is shitty, they forget orders, mix up orders, and they take forever. And their all white/ black people that work there.

Its unacceptable in my book.

As a proud member of the McDonalds Corporation, I take offense at this.

:D

I completely understand what you guys are talking about, in seriousness. I live in a suburb out of Cleveland and there's very little problem with illegal immigration here. I work at a McDonalds, and it's really one of the best McDonalds around. Everyone is really competent there and you get very little screwed up orders. We've even turned over the ability to fill drinks to the customers, so we don't screw up diet vs regular. Everything goes pretty smoothly here, and the same goes for all the fast food places, really.

Obviously, that's a sight different when you get into different places where there's some not as intelligent folks of all varieties working these places. I mean, the fast food places here are mostly manned by teens working part time. You get some places where it's a career job for people, and that's where you get the incompetency.

That is all well and good in real life, but in highschool it is simply easier to conform. If you take me for example I can explain. I'm coming into the public school system as a junior after taking a two year try at the private school system. Some people remember me others don't...whatever. Now because I tend to slack in school I am joining a few clubs here and there. So now I'm a boyscout on the robotics team who gets his name called in announcements every month to say that I am topping the math club. Did I mention that I am a member/leader in the local youth ministry? Now I want to retain a social life and those factors easily work against me. It's easier to just fit in a bit more. I accept that the brands clothing isn't always the best, but I go to some stores(usually not the most common flavor of the month) and get what I think looks good. I end up getting mostly Express, Ed Hardy, and a tid bit of DKNY. Those aren't the most typical, but they are generally accepted and I like their clothes.

no offense, but from what I've seen, the incompetency comes with teens. I once saw a girl talking on her phone phone as she handed me my food. Another guy have me half my order before going off and just leaving me, I was so pissed off that I walked inside, jumped the counter, and filled my drink myself. The manager tried to stop me, but I showed him my receipt, explained the situation, and got my meal for free.
 
I hate people.. who spend about $150 on a pair of Jordans, and then they get them scuffed, and refuse to wear them again. That's fucking ignorant.

People do that with cars too. Someone will spend 100 grand on a BMW or something, and if a bird shit's on it, instead of having the car cleaned, they'll have it destroyed and then go out and buy a new one
