    A fan of Twilight once tried to tell me that "Edward Cullen isn't 108 years old. He's just been alive for 108 years," and thusly wasn't a pedophile. I cried inside.

    Also, I agree with Grimm on fat people complaining about being fat. But I'd add to that, fat people who use their obesity as an excuse for EVERYTHING.

    "Ugh, you'll have to drive me up this hill, I am fat, oh no, what a horrible disability, whine whine whine omnomnomnomcake"

    HACCP (Hazard Awareness Critical Control Point) The new cleanliness standards I have to meet at work state among other things that nothing can ever be left on the floor. So I said "Cool no problem I'll take care of it" and then went and put everything on either shelves or trolleys but apparently this isn't good enough because the LEGS OF THE SHELVES AND WHEELS OF THE TROLLEY were on the floor.

    Is this how Australians fix the economy? By gradually phasing out non-telekinetic employees?

    Xiao, I can understand your stance. I don't agree, but your points're good enough, I'mn't going to counter-argue.

    Are you referring to their launch of Vista/W7? Oh, and fuck fat people. They need to be forced into learning how to take care of themselves. If you're over 400lbs, and not genetically that way,* you need to learn to eat properly, and hop on the fucking tread mill. Wait, no, don't hop. I don't want an earthquake.


    *I graduated with a guy who was 6'8'' and 480lbs. His thighs were literally thicker than my waist. He was this way genetically, not because of poor body maintenance.

    DF: Thanks for respecting my opinion instead of trying to develop telekinetic powers to throttle me through the internet, as some of the more rabid 4E fans have tried to so.

    I laugh at all the people who went from XP to Vista and then whine about it. I was smart enough to wait, and as a result I still have a version of Windows that (almost) works! Ha! I've developed a strict policy over the years of not jumping on the new technology bandwagon. It has served me well.

    Edward Cullen = Pedophile. You know it, I know it, we all know it, it's gross and those books belong in the shithouse anyways.

    I went from XP to Vista when I bought a new computer and it wasn't XP compatible.

    That is deeply irritating, yes. Having said which, my laptop is hopefully a good few years away from being replaced.

    Minor gripeon my end...I have no boob avvie. Ah well...boob day has come and gone.

    But here's something I absolutely can't stand;

    Little, fit in your pocket dogs. Poodles. Teacup Chihuahuas. Yorkies. These and more arouse my ire. I sometimes wish for a time when destruction of tiny, yippie dogs is law. Hopefully, within my lifetime, the lifetimes of these breeds will be cut short, and it will be for the good of man. What purpose is there for a dog so small it can be extinguished by a throw pillow? Or perhaps an over zealous house cat? Man's best friend indeed! I have yet to see any case of one of those tiny, insignificant barkers saving their owners from a burning building, exacting their revenge on a small child via mauling their faces, or even leaving a urine stain on the carpet larger than what you'd find in the contents of a single shot of espresso. For what purpose would you keep a dog so small, unless you immediately intended to feed it to your pet snake?
    I would rather harbor a burden of the state than keep such a feeble expression of the canine sub-species. I would rather try and extract milk from my own non-lactating nipples. I would rather attempt skinning a live polar bear.
    These are things I would rather do than take care of such a stupid extension of the inbred masses of dog lineage.

    Move to Australia, the movement to ban the continuation of the pure breed dog lines is really picking up steam. The argument is that all the pure lines have that many hereditary diseases now its just not humane to keep them going.

    Minor things that bug Yuki.

    People who don't ever use capital letters, commas, periods...

    People who play video games in English without understanding the whole thing.

    No pure breeds of dogs? Maybe its time to create an ultimate breed of canine. The size of a Great Dane, the speed of a greyhound and somehow the strength of Chuck Norris.

    Cinemas that doesn't show Acadamy Award-nominated movies (such as Waltz with Bashir, a really good movie), but instead runs "Hotel for dogs" all the fucking time.

    Good point. We're still in the middle of endless runs of Twilight *shudder* but no sign of Igor yet, and I really want to see that film. It looks hysterical.

    New thing that Really Shits Me Off: All the forensics labs here in Tasmania are down in the very south. Me, I live in the north. So much for that work experience idea... Seriously, though, apparently there are four forensics labs down there and NONE up here. Where most of the PEOPLE are. I can't be the only person who finds that a bit cross-purposes.

    Tools that come packaged with consumer goods

    Some things available for purchase require assembly. Fortunately, those that manufature those items saw fit to include "tools" with the pieces that require assembly.

    Those damn things are of such low quality that I would be better off pressing my own tools out of aluminum foil with a cookie cutter.

    I agree Xiao. I live in the NE US and all the forensic labs are in the south or SW. It's not until after I graduated college that all the universities around here started offering actual Forensic degrees, so now I'm a biologist stuck working in a chemistry lab doing environmental analysis. Professionalism is so fucked up.

    Here is something that I really make me mad:

    Why can’t the fabricator send all the required items at once? But no...I have to call them everyday to get all the things that I need!

    Something I have encountered more and more over the past few weeks are people who think its okay to just veer to the right or left of the lane for about 100m when they are about to turn rather than indicating.

    Sex using condoms tops my short list of most irritating things. In a close second-place are walking corpses that 1.) think they can still drive and 2.) cannot complete a simple task such as ordering from a fast-food restaurant. When you reach the age that you look like walking dust, one would think you would know/figured out how the world works.

    These are things, that happends too many times:

    1. Why are people still thinking that they can have something, when they know that the bar is closed?

    2. People, who are talking everyday about how sick they are.

    3. Fat people in clothes too small...eeewwww...

    4. Still waiting for the fabricator, who still has'nt brought the required item!

    What really drives me over the edge are people who leave jam remnants in the peanut butter jar. Either use the pb first or grab a separate, clean spoon...but whatever it takes, keep the fucking jelly out of my peanut butter!
