sanjo 2 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 He has a strong somewhere-or-other accent, it just sounds funny. Probably a great guy, but not the one to head an ad campaign. Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 just this morning I was out driving, there was a narrow goose neck exit and a Pajero blocking it with its hazards going, managed to squeeze past and looked at the driver of the Pajero - it was a dopey young woman (read likely rich housewife) mailing on her keitai! An oblivious inconsiderate stupid b#$^%h driving an urban tractor, she made my day. ...at least I suppose she had some sense to stop,even if it was the stupiest place in Japan to stop and didnt keep driving and plow into a group of kindergarten kids ala Saitama last week.

Ocean11 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 snowglider, I'm sorry your post is disqualified for this thread; you've identified not one but two major social problems. Back ON TOPIC if you don't mind; I get really irritated by those white, washing instruction and 'Made in China' labels on lingerie and womens' transparent clothing. Ladies, for god's sake, cut them out before you go about thinking you're looking sharp. (Especially if you're on your way to a porno photo shoot or out for a few drinks with me, because I won't stop going on about it.) Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Ballpens that don't work properly. To what purpose exactly are these pointless pieces of plastic made? I'm talking about the brand new ones that may work at certain angles or for a certain time. A disturbing number of pens fit into this catagory. You'd think priority no.1 in the pen making biz would be to ensure the thing works. Erasers on the end of pencils that create a mess when used are just as mindless. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hey Davo, remember when all those years ago, having never met, we bumped into each other at the bus stop in Nagano by complete accident? At the time I really didn't figure you for a geek. Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 1 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I remember well db. I was just thankful at the time that you couldn't see my pen stash, in the front pocket of the polyester shirt I always wear under my jacket. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 The democratic process in this country. As I type there's a panel of experts on TV analyzing Abe's decision to hold his wife's hand on his trip to China. Personally I'm not sure it was the right course of action. I think the pressure may have gotten to him. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I'll tell you what irritates me. People who don't return calls. Not just once but pretty much most of the time. Because they are so forgetful and/or supposedly too busy. Then they get at you if you don't do things in return quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 When you get a gang of people on the tv in some advert or something talking at the same time (the same thing) with some annoucement. Usually accompanied by some strange hand movement. I don't know why, it just annoys me. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 What about those dramas (particularly UK dramas) and movies where the cameraman films like he's pissed. For god's sake hold the f@#kin thing steady !! Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 What was it, one of those US law dramas that spawned that style? Or was it ER?... Dunno, but it makes you seasick watching it! Link to post Share on other sites

For god's sake hold the f@#kin thing steady !! Oh yeah, that's annoying - just watch a Jamie Oliver cooking show. The bloody camera is here, there and everywhere at once - motion sickness. I can imagine all the epileptics having seizures when that happens! (It's suppose to be trendy = incompetent.) On the pen issue - why design a pen whose cap has the clip e.g. when its clipped inside a pocket, the ink flows to the base and when ya go to use it, it doesn't work - that shits the geek inside!

nzlegend 1 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 .....verification section of online forms where there is a small picture of some random numbers and letters you have to retype that are incomprehensible 'Picasso on acid' writing covered in squiggles or smoke. They are frustrating no end as they are case senstive yet they are so horribly disfigured you cant make them out. Had one today that took four goes! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I hate those too. Even worse if the form deletes what you have written if you get it wrong. Argh!! Link to post Share on other sites
