People who complain about speed cameras.

Fundamentalists of any sort. I am quite fundamental in my belief that fundamentalism is bad. My views on conservativism are also very conservative.

hmmm (hmmm), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 12:09 (twenty-two years ago)

People who complain about the congestion charge. And the extension of said charge.

de, Wednesday, 14 April 2004 12:14 (twenty-two years ago)

on a bicylcle theme: adults who cycle on the pavement.

now when did this become fucking acceptable? 10 years ago, i'm pretty certain children were taught (cause i was one then and i was taught) that when one reaches a certain age (about 14) that one was meant to cycle on the road.

but now? now every pathetic little fuck in their too small bike cycles on the pavement. and then they complain that it is only because the government hasn't put on enough cycle paths and that their insome way helping the environment in cycling. well can you think of anything more selfish than someone getting fit at the risk of others, who are equally environmentally sound. bastards.

people who get on busses, come upstairs and then are baffled by the choice of five different seats, SIT DOWN, SHUT UP.

groups of people getting on busses in central london who think it acceptable for one of their number to buy a ticket from the machine and then get on the bus whilst the rest of them FAFF AROUND FOR FIVE MINUTES trying to work out how the machine works...

people who stand at the top of the stairs on a bus WHEN THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE

* People who sit on the outside of a double sit, necessitating you climbing over them if you want to sit down.

* People who leave their shopping on the last spare seat and only think to move it when you ask them.

Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 18:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I just noticed the preponderance of British references in the thread and wondered whether it was because of the king/queen bit in the title or the general vindictive thurst of the thread, British folk being stereotyped by Americans as mean-spirited.

I'm sorry mandee, but that is the decree of the King. I considered the consequences of losing some ILXors and close friends in this bold strategy, but my mind was made up. The whole omelette/break eggs thing, ya know.

Mind you, I am kinda a Marketing person, so I guess this decree would be a combination of murder, suicide, and regicide.

Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 20:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Best Simpsons quote ever, Rob. "You have selected regicide. If you know the name of the king or queen being murdered, press 1"

Serious answer: people who claim not to give a shit about something but still feel the need to postulate at length about it.

miloauckerman, it bemuses me greatly to hear of this happening in your neck of the woods as well. Though it delights me to know that you react much the same way I react in this situation.

Also closely related to this animal: Those who dare to remain in a lane that's about to be merged into another lane who end up trying to muscle their way in at the last possible moment.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 08:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Actually, people who stand in the middle of rush hour at overground ticket machines when there is a massive queue behind them who have no idea whatsoever how to operate the machine and therefore stand there dithering and fannying around for ages while your train pulls away from the platform.

Equally, people who ask stupid questions at ticket offices and dither and fanny around in exactly the same circumstances. These people make me homocidal.

Hey, I waited around for like twenty minutes, waiting for them to realise their mistake and come back. They high-tailed it out of there before the cash even came out of the machine. I am not responsible for other people's stupidity. What was I supposed to do?

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 April 2004 09:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I eat fish and describe myself as a vegetarian as shorthand sometimes, but would never really claim to be one. It's a halfway house kind of compromise thing. Shoot me if you like. I don't care.

Piscetarian would imply to me that I only ate fish. Also, it's a crappy made up word that I refuse to go around saying.

I'm not a vegetarian, but if I were it would be for the social scene.

Yep, I'm with Ronan.

Ro, we could rule together. Fancy making a pact?

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Talking of magazines, the people who publish PSM2 (playstation2 mag), as they totally conned everyone this month by stating on the cover : "GTA:SanAndreas We've Got it!!", which they didn't at all but the magazine was wrapped in a polythene cover so you had to buy the thing to find out you'd been conned. UP AGAINST THE WALL NOW MUVAFUGAS!!

Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ste would you happen to be a big person in the world of videogame journalism and if so have we met?

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:36 (twenty-two years ago)

People who play hockey or badminton - the gay sports

Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd like to help rule collectively on this platform, too, Ronanna.

Also:

1. My so-called bank.
2. Job interviewers who don't understand that freelancing is a real job that's more like three real jobs if you figure in the accountancy and bailiff/bill collector roles, only with zero employment rights.
3. Unattractive magazine editors who pretend to be fucktoys on Popbitch.
4. People who, when unsuccessful in their creative endeavours, blame all possible external forces for this lack of success rather than dusting self off and trying again.
5. Religious zealots.
6. Any American descended from immigrants who feels the need to complain about more recent immigrants.
7. Unhelpful members of the white-collar service industry, wherever their call centre is located. Or their managers, if responsible for general unhelpfulness policies.

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 10:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I just thought of some more people to include here:

1.  All the rude, good-for-nothing Mexicans who are wealthy enough to be able to afford crossing the border and shopping for necessities locally, who end up at a Super Target, Wal-Mart Supercenter, and/or Sam's Club. These people find nothing wrong with clogging up entire aisles of stores, shouting at each other from across the entire store, practically, bumping into your cart and not even seeming to notice, or almost running pedestrians down as they traverse the parking lot in one of their minivans. These people will also make trips to Sears, Foley's, and/or Dillard's, but not every single Mexican who's at one of those stores behaves this improperly.

2.  Arrogantly macho males. OR males who think they need to prove their manhood by muscling their way in front of you or speeding past you, sometimes in these ridiculous-looking rice rockets, other times in these also ridiculous-looking monster trucks. It's intriguing to note just how many of these males look as if they're in their forties, BTW. I would estimate that 1/5 of these males are teenagers, 1/5 are in their twenties, another 1/5 are in their thirties, and the remaining 2/5 are in their forties.

3.  Local news people who find it necessary to complain about the weather if it's going to either be (a.) cold, (b.) rainy, or (c.) a combination of the two. Uh, hello? Do you REMEMBER where we live?! Lord knows we get more than enough oppressively sunny and hot days here! Look, I know you'd rather be lying outside getting skin cancer and all, but there's a reason why I rejoice over every rainy day and that reason is because I actually remember what it's like to be under severe water restrictions. Plus, we don't get nearly the number of cold days that I'd like. I'd like to actually use my sweater, thank you very much.

4.  Every single music reviewer who writes for Entertainment Weekly. Thanks to The Forum, I've been able to be much more tolerant of music critics than I was before, but I still hate the Entertainment Weekly (music) people and I relish the thought of hanging them from the gallows. I actually like everyone else now.

Hm. That'll be all.

Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:16 (twenty-two years ago)

I am glad, that I love everyone.

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i can't wait to talk to you in person to see if you do the verbal equivalent of the comma thing i.e. momentary pause before finishing statement

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:20 (twenty-two years ago)

people who profess a knowledge of football when all they know is that manyoo or Arsenal win things ocasionally, thus they support them.

People who wait until they've paid for their shopping before putting it in bags.

People who try and barge onto tube trains before people have got off.

people who read my paper over my shoulder (although I am allowed to do this if a story catches my eye, natch)

Radiohead and the darkness

Students drinking cheap lager on the tube

Charity muggers

people who tut

people who don't acknowledge that you were their first at the bar and jump in before you.

people who talk authoritatively about things that they obviously don't have a clue about.

The people who decide on the amount of legroom you get on all public transport and most cinemas

chris (chris), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

DC, nope just an unfortunate consumer who was victim to this recent swizz.

Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:22 (twenty-two years ago)

oooh, I've just thought of another one!

People called Keith. Poxy name.

Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 15 April 2004 11:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry about this, but RJG if he doesn't stop using pointless commas. Fuck it's annoying.

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:30 (twenty-two years ago)

But it's who he is!

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:32 (twenty-two years ago)

I would select Ashcroft and Cheney

Well, if you're going to do him in, might as well throw in the rest of the Verve to make sure no funny business goes on.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:34 (twenty-two years ago)

wow, mark.

you used a comma, there, but it was in the wrong place.

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

you used a comma, there, but it was in the wrong place.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I think RJG should experiment with the semi-colon; more.

Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Again I say estate agents. :-(

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm all for commas. Just try and cut down, please?

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Girls, who come on strong and you take them home and you're giggling in the taxi and getting hot and then you're home and you're clothes are off and they have big swinging gonads that they didn't mention earlier.

Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Aww Pink. AGAIN?!?

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)

They are selling our rented house & the estate agents are being complete bastards towards us. Good news is that with J's new job we're on for a better mortgage than before. Off to look at a house tonight in fact. *crosses fingers*

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Mikey i find it always helps to enquire in advance whether the girl has gonads

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 15 April 2004 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought the comma thing was a pinefox tribute.

2. racist motherfuckers.

Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

why would you think that, nick?

RJG (RJG), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:15 (twenty-two years ago)

people who work in marketing.

people who can't admit/apologize when they've made a mistake.

people who don't use turn signals.

the competition.

the bin ladens.

the bushes.

people who stand left.

people prettier than me.

people who just throw their trash on the good streets of toronto.

liars.

tools.

those asshats at the insurance companies.

any extreme (right, religious, etc.)

spoiled children.

those parents that made me kill their kid(s).

those people who protest gay peoples funerals.

girls that burst out in song at bars/parties/gatherings because they think they're some fucking undiscovered super-talented diva but really work the register at starbucks and could stand to loose 20 pounds.

lethargic gluttons.

people who nit-pick about punctuation.

anyone who kills large numbers of people for abstract & absurd reasons.

dys pot (dyson), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Pink, make a schedule saying when you and J are willing to have the fuckers in the house, one or two nights a week and NO WEEKENDS and if they do not stick to it, no entry for viewers. Make that very clear. And there is NOTHING your landlord can do about it.

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:51 (twenty-two years ago)

* sha la la la Windowwwww*

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't know, RJG. I thought it was the pinefox who did that most of all. Maybe it's just his general, sparsely laconic tone that it resembles.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It's so unsettling, I mean I knew it was coming, but still. We still need to agree those times with the estate agent, but already ppl are coming round. It's not even on their website yet!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Estate agents are like some crazed force of nature when it comes to viewings. Trying to stop them is futile.

Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 15 April 2004 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I would of course be comrade in chioef, not king.

Estate agents
Any one who has said 'some of my best friends are ...., but....'
SUV drivers (Farmers forestry workers and those with a proper need to go up a 1 in 4 mud caked slope'

Ed (dali), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Ricky, the ones in this area are shit on a shit sandwich. 'Durr, we'd love to send you over but we can't find the key' translation: 'we work at Foxtons and one of the office juniors is buying the flat in three weeks after we pretend the market has cooled just that little bit so he can shave off the asking price we suggested'.

Ironic Stepford courtesy can be employed here with spectacular results. "I'm sorry, but it seems the agent is a bit disorganised - he didn't make an appointment so unfortunately this is not an appropriate time for a viewing." do not elaborate or explain further; shut that door. it also helps to talk about the agent to the viewers as if he is not actually standing there.

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Also, WRT your landlord, he's damn lucky to be getting cooperation from you AT ALL after fucking you over - isn't this the house you guys were trying to buy? In fact, tell the agent that it would be better for all parties if they waited to show the house after your lease finishes because you might not be able to stop yourself talking about the vendor's business methods.

suzy (suzy), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

This isn't the house we were going to buy & he actually did give us notice 2 months (he's contractually obliged to) ago & we both agreed that we could stay there until he sold the house as we were looking to move out anyway. It's just come a bit sooner than we had hoped. Now we might have to move out to other rented accomodation before we can move to a house of our own. *sigh*

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 15 April 2004 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Suzy, Anna, we need to find some sort of army. Does anyone know any music writers who aren't unfit lazy weeds (like me!)?

CEOs who dont abolish the telemarketing departments of their companies (i wouldve just said telemarketers, but hey, everyone needs money)

Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Thursday, 15 April 2004 16:19 (twenty-two years ago)

People who kick footballs around in houses. alternatively my brothers.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

People who recline their seat backs on airplanes without first asking for the consent of their fellow passenger sitting behind them. They'd go first against the wall....but the execution would be slow and vicious.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 April 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

People who whistle loudly and tunelessly. alternatively, my brother.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 17:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Charity Muggers/Solicitation Gauntleteers.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 15 April 2004 17:18 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha, alex - that's another "alternatively my brother" one. he's gonna die first no matter what happens!

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 15 April 2004 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

My first act would be to hand over judicial and executional power to Dave Q. And then I would sit back with a martini and watch.

-People who treat "therapy" as some kind of religion, making their therapists their new priests, and basically trying to prostheletise the entire world to their way of thinking, and getting upset when you don't want to convert, I mean, kow-tow to their "issues".

ANALYSE THIS, MOTHERF*CKER!!! ::sound of machine gun fire::
