The Like/Hate Thread

[Lucifer]

The last book totally freaked me out. I mean, it was more about promoting gay pride than Harry Potter. I can remember the line that really made me dislike the book:

"Students of Hogwarts, I have always known that you all were as different as the colors of the rainbow... you were red, blue, yellow, green, anything you wanted to be... but now, Hogwarts will have a new dress code. Rainbow cloaks. Mrs. Minerva McGonagall, in honor of my coming out of the closet, has enchanted all of your robes to turn rainbow and tye-dye. Oh, and there was a reason I put males in a dormitory and females in another... from now, experimentation will be your official homework!"

EDIT:

OWL - Outstanding Womanly Love and its new alternative OML, Outstanding Male Love
NEWT - New Experimenting in Weird Techniques

Fail.

[Juno]

The OWL and NEWT thing kinda ruined it, I admit.

Leon the Professional.

Older movie, badass movie. All the actors/actresses in it ended up becoming fairly big, and its just a very good talent movie. Just watched it again.

And wanting some milk.

Did I just go through the looking glass?

[Juno]

I hate that my laptop is at 12% power and I'm too lazy to go grab the power cord.

I love Moulin Rouge.

I love Moulin Rouge's version of Like a Virgin even.

Ok, as you guys know, I have strawberry blond hair. That's the name of the color, as faggish as that sounds. Its not "red" in the sense that if you actually stand me next to someone with red hair, you see an obvious difference. Very few people I deal with seem to have the common sense to make that observation.

Getting to the point, its obviously hilarious (/sarcasm) and super creative (/sarcasm) to associate ANYONE with the slightest red tint in their hair that also has a penis with either "the Shermanator" or "Carrottop", regardless of if your hair style is anything like those two individuals. So I get called this every single fucking day by random customers who think they are hilarious. This part I don't mind, as I'm trying to joke with the customers, but in doing this, they always go asshole mode and derail the entire convo so that everytime I walk up to ask them if they want something, its "SHHHEERMANATORRRR!" or something, ignoring me completely other than to ridicule me till I walk away.

Ok, well, this is fine, for random customers I likely won't deal with again.

Where it tends to get to the bullshit level is either some of my co-workers, people I work with every single day, that seem to, after nearly 6 years of me working there, not find the joke old and thus still repeat it. Every. Goddamn. Day. And the same repeat nightly regular customers that come in and are already hated for being "ten minutes before closing time" regulars that don't tip. Who have to yell across the building as soon as they see me (and everytime I pass by after), which derails my table.

Because after something like 9 years, the same joke that these same people repeat every single day is still funny? You mean, its physically impossible to beat a dead horse until its god damn soul is eradicated? Is it possible, that maybe, just maybe, the joke is ancient and someone could come up with some new material? I can forgive people that have just run into me for the first time and that's the best that their feeble, tiny, caveman minds can grasp for, but the same people? I totally get that these people, co-workers and asshole customers alike, just lack the brain capacity to move their though process along and find some other joke to associate every single human being with the slightest red tint in their hair to, but they don't, they just spew off yelling just the name of two pretty much ancient joke characters, and it sets them off as if Morgan Freeman just walked into the room yelling "SHOOT THAT MOTHERFUCKER!" (which is hilarious, btw, and an in joke again at work. But I wouldn't fucking repeat it every single day.)

Big annoying rant, I know, but seriously. After a while, the joke gets old, and I would like society to move on to the next method of ridiculing me (because while at first its just brotherly bonding between people over humor, after enough time that's all it becomes). Its as creative as taking a blond chick, no matter what her facial structure, body build, even her hair style or the fact that she's really a brown haired chick with blond highlights, and screaming "OMG TEH BRITNEY SPEARS!" everytime she walks past.

---

TLDR: FUCK PEOPLE.

EDIT: I know some might think this is such a minor thing to get annoyed or pissed about. But just think about it. I'm sure everyone has things that people make the same exact joke about every day for years that regardless of how dumb the joke is, will eventually set them off everytime its mentioned. "OK GODDAMMIT I GET IT, YOU THINK YOU ARE QUAGMIRE SO YOU HAVE TO SAY GIGGITY EVERYTIME A GIRL WALKS BY AND THEN LOOK AROUND FOR APPROVAL, STFU!" (yelled by one of my friends to another a long time ago. I don't think he ever said it again. Was hilarious.)

Dye your hair?

[Ashe]

Dye your hair?

I'd love to say "I shouldn't have to", but that amounts to saying "All the people around me should change", which won't happen.

I've considered it a few times, but my hair is light enough that I'd have to maintain keeping it regularly dyed. I mean, if you have dark hair and dye it blond, then it grows out, you basically have highlights. If you have light hair and do it, then it grows out just looking a bit weird. That and Erin and most other girls tell me how they "just oh so lovvve" my hair color, and wish they had it themselves.

That's actually something I've heard for years as well, and never quite minded (WTF I LOOK LIKE A GIRL??? /joke).

[Kaden]

You're right, you shouldn't have to.

Unfortunately, as you've pointed out, people suck cock.

[Alura]

I hate a couple things that almost every single person I meet does.

-They make some kind of reference to Noah's Arc

-They say "I'm so ripped off" when they find out my birthday is on Xmas.


Honestly, neither statement bothers me. But I am SO tired of hearing them from every single person I ever talk to.

[Kaden]

-They make some kind of reference to Noah's Arc

That's not even clever.

Yeah, its pretty easy to assume, which is why I don't believe I've every mentioned either of those (though that's probably because I figured it such a blindingly obvious joke that someone out there was BOUND to have beaten me to the punchline)

The only time something comes to mind is the fact that I leave my tv on in the background, and they'll play that "The Librarian" advertisement for that movie. Which repeats (on a nightly basis) "*dramatic music* Noah Wyley is... THE LIBRARIAN!!!!!!"

[Alura]

That's not even clever.

I know! It's like "So, where are you keeping you arc these days? Huh? *nudge nudge*"

I'm like..."Yea, never heard that before."

[Kazuya]

I'd like to see this arc you speak of...=o

The Sopranos was life changing. Not only was it just damn good television, but I've never gotten a better window into what it means to be a family, or a man. I teared up so many times during the series, that alone makes it pretty extraordinary. I've never watched a show and felt so strongly about what happened to the characters.

Kind of bitter that I didn't get to watch it over the course of 8 years like everyone else, although it has taken me a few years to get back into it from when I initially started watching. But, I watched 4 seasons in a week, it's a bit compressed. Kind of glad, I would have been a nervous wreck had I watched the finale episode along with everyone else, after the 8 years of tuning in once a week.

My favorite show ever. Used to be Seinfeld but fuck that, and him.

[Jack]

I can't sleep. Why the fuck would you end a series like that? Srsly. I've been wracking my brain for hours about it, it frustrates the hell out of me.

[Jesper]

It's probably best not to think about it.

In my mind, it was the ending more than anything else that prevented that show from being the best ever.

[Celena]

I was frustrated too. It's like they were eager to end the sitcom. It was a bullshit ending. I didn't get it and it was lame.

[Jonathan Meer]

Sopranos is not a sitcom.
