Stuff you're fed up with.

[Shuguard]

I'm sick of people blowing stuff out of proportion without any solid evidence or information. That is all.

 

[StormShaun]

Ok...let me get my list. xD

Number one...The Australian internet...why does it suck so much.
Number two...Everyone hating on everything. For example in the off-topic Let's Plays threads which hate on commentators...I think we have hate on the internet to create hell itself.
Number three...me not finding a nice girl which I can actually like.
Number four...people forcing me to do stuff. Another example is me being a Christian and that I haven't gone to Church in weeks. Now I have messages and missed calls from a Prist telling me to go. >.<

I have many more but I think that would fill this thread up.

]I totally agree.

In fact, if anyone's picky it's the employers. Since I've applied for positions, and been turned down, only to find the exact same position re-advertised again a short time later.
So whoever that employer is, they obviously just didn't like the selection of applicants, and decided to turn down everyone and re-advertise the position again (or that's my theory anyway).

The job market sucks and it's hard to get a job unless you have experience and you can't get experience if you can't get a job.

Also this. A thousand times this.

This particular 'catch 22' is really annoying.

I wish you the best of luck getting a job

And thank you

I actually read something related to this not too long ago. Employers often advertise positions a second time because there weren't enough applicants the first time around. This was an article about how the amount of people applying for a position as a principal in a few schools were too low. There were only 2 applicants for one of the positions. Now I am no mathematician here, but aren't two applicants twice as many as you need to fill the position?

I can understand that they want several applicants in order to pick the best, but what if the best applicant is the only applicant? It annoys me to no end. I'm sick of this vicious cycle of no experience>no job>no experience.

Ah....I know that feeling. When I first came out of college was right when the recession hit. Applied to literally hundreds of jobs. It got to be that I was going to need to take a SECOND job just to AFFORD to go to job interviews across the country.

Yeah, I was paying rent for my apartment, having no income, surviving only on savings accumulated over the years and having to pay for plane tickets in order to get to a job interview as soon as possible. The interview went great, I managed to make a good first impression and keep it up throughout the interview. Lack of experience made me lose the job to the only other participant there was. Out of two suited applicants I lost. The end result was that I had even less money. At that point I realized I should just minimize my expenses and give up on looking for a job until after my education is done. I know they are screaming for more people in my field so hopefully things will get better once that happens.

I'm sick of hearing about the Petraeus Scandal... I just really don't care

 

[CleverCover]

I want some rationality back in my government and it bothers highly me that it won't happen. Fucking politics. Why did I pick you as my minor?!

There was at one point rationality in politics?
No, that's impossible.

History has taught me that every country has its moments of pure stupidity in its ruling class that make future generations weep in sorrow...and I'm tired of waiting for that moment to pass.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, very few moments in American politics can top what's going on now. Even McCarthyism was a shorter period of stupid. But this, this is just....why?!

 

[Astoria]

I'm fed up with getting the crappy overnight shifts at work. A couple weeks they said, yet here it is 3 months later and I'm still doing them with no end in sight. Not to mention how lazy everyone else is and leaves me with heaps to do.

I'm also fed up with all my friends bickering and needing to get wasted every weekend. I thought that crap was supposed to stop once high school was over. I think I might just become a hermit, it's much easier and you don't get disappointed.

 

[Friendly Lich]

I tired of people who overact to threads in forums.

 

[Syzygy23]

There is something I'm fed up with actually. It is people who equate being German and being a Nazi. Yes, I'm German, yes, I have a German Eagle and Flag on my arm. I'm very proud of my heritage and who I am. But living in Texas means that if anyone sees it, I get rushed with dozens of questions about how does it feel to support Nazis and ignorant stupid shit like that. Seriously shut up about that crap!

You mean like this?: http://www.eatliver.com/i.php?n=7305

Me... I'm fed up with a lot of things. Mostly the lack of decency and proper manners most people greet me with.

Teach your kids some god damn respect before I have to for you. My methods aren't exactly considered pillow therapy either.

 

[Reginald the Butler]

well, to be fair, a EU politician accidentaly voted for his colegue sitting nearby - he decided to apoligize by quitting. a US politician deliberaly voted for 7 others trying to psuh his opinion - his pay was cut by 30% and he does not even believe he was guilty.
jut wanted to ilustrate WHY all the hate is there. i agree that politicians are dicks everywhere, but its how they react afterwards that make people go up in arms.

I understand. I didn't mean to come off as too abrasive, it's just like it seems that whenever someone is corrupt/very stupid, people just chalk it off as, "Oh, well they're American, so it makes sense." You do have a point though. It seems like whenever someone here does do something really corrupt/stupid, they do tend to push it a little further than the rest of the world.

Yes, just like that, it really really makes me mad. It could be partially my fault for having an awesome tattoo that makes them jealous. God it just angers me...

 

[Vault101]

Alas, not as many sleazy webcomics as you'd think doing the fanservice thing (It's surprisingly hard to do fanservice in a sleazy comic, considering... well, everyone's usually naked anyway).
Magickchicks is a good example of the 'lesbians for fanservice rather than point/just cause' - it's an all-girls school, and basically the entire population save 4 are lesbians (1 of those 4 is bi and the other is possibly a lesbian too, so... yeah).
[sub]I can scrounge around for my sleazy links if you really want them though...[/sub]

definitions of "sleazeay" can vary

its jsut when I think of webcomics I think of very cartoon artstyle not some fan servicey....

there was one comic (forgot the name of) that touched on the whole "being gay is hard" thing

 

[C4tt4nn4]

i'm sick of people being extreme. Extreme in politics, extreme in religion (and lack there of), extreme in opinions. whatever happened to "live and let live"? just chill the fuck out. especially the some of the @ss-hats in my school: hate everything, but inconsistently: "oh, i hate organized religion, but everything except christianity is cool. peace love and tolerance lol!". I get that people have a right to opinions, but seriously, why do you need to be so irksome about it?

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

What am I sick of? Many things.

I'm sick of everyone saying that everything is going to the dogs.
I'm sick of people complaining (I'm aware of the hypocrisy).
I'm sick of being damn near 200 miles away from all of my closest friends.
I'm sick of it being so bloody cold here.
I'm sick of women being completely insane (I'm sure you're not all like that. Just the ones that I end up going out with)
I'm sick of reality tv.


Hooray!

Personal: I hate my job, but don't have any real idea of what I do want to have as a career.

General: "The games/nerds/geeks industry/community is sexist". No, society in general contains sexism, and gaming is simply not excluded from that. Gaming/nerds/geeks are no more or no less sexist than society as a whole. It's just that the vocal minority make it seem much worse than it is.

Saying that it is sexist is akin to saying the Muslim community are terrorists or that America is racist. All three of them are simply a vocal minority who people pay attention to, as the vast majority of people are not the kind to get noticed as they just get on with their lives as normal people.

Well, seeing as it's meaning is not explained to someone outside of Germany (unless you do research), that's what most people will assume, since the Nazis was the last time the general public (ouside of Germany) got to see the Eagle. You can't try and act confused and innocent when people ask you those things, since it's obvious a lot of people will. It's like wearing a buddhist swastika on your arm. Even though you know it's got nothing to do with nazis (The nazi swastika is turned the other way around) you still have to assume that some people don't know that, or realise what it is at a quick glance.

OT: My bad spending habbits. I'm saving for a PC, but I've been stuck on 5k SEK (Around 540$) for ages, and I need at least 9k for the computer I want.

Angry nerd dudes with lady issues.
You know, the kind where you can feel their bitterness in every word and everything is about how the world scorns their boner. Yawn. /flameshield up.

Also fed up with technology breaking all the time. Laptop is currently broken, having to use boyfriend's computer and the Xbox decided to be dramatic this morning and crash a few times. It's fine now, but for how long is anybody's guess.

Ah, I totally hate those guys t-OHMIGODIT'SMEISN'TIT!?

I was worried it'd come across a little like that. I don't have anything against feminism, I'm for equality, hell, if females have an equal chance at becoming politicians, it may increase the chance that we may someday end up with a prime minister/president who isn't either stupid or just an intentional prick.

It just feels like anytime feminism comes up, it's shouting at me. It's like "The man seeks to harass women to satisfy his primal idiot cravings. YES YOU, MUTHAFUCKA. GO APPLY YOUR PENIS TO AN OVEN HOB YOU PIG." Maybe it's the problem I always have that if a piece of criticism about a group applies even slightly to me, I take it as if it was fully aimed at me, but that's how it feels.

But I am bitter. Come on, at least let me have that.

And angry. And a nerd dude. Well shit, that paints me as a pathetic lifeform, I'm going to go cry myself to sleep.

Lol, I didn't mean you.
I've had the unfortunate experience to have been gaming with such people, who can't stop bitching about their exes, who want to talk about how gaming is their space and my female voice totally ruins it and the whole alpha/beta and how dating is a game stacked against them and it goes on and on til I wanna puke up my lungs.
Don't get me wrong, I have sympathy for guys who struggle with that sort of thing, but there's a point where you kinda know they're just bitching about it without even attempting to make anything better.

As for feminism shouting at you, obviously it's not a monolith and all that and there's always people who will go mental about it. It's kinda been used as a big boogeyman recently, imo. But I wish for nobody to be putting any dicks in the oven. That's just gross.

 

[Myndnix]

I'm fed up with the job market, personally. I'm almost twenty three years old and I've never had a job, but not for lack of trying. I'm going to be out on the street at some point next year if I don't find a job but whether or not I can find one isn't exactly something I have control over.
Other than that, the only other thing I'm annoyed with is people in general- specifically, how they seem to overreact to absolutely everything. I'm not American myself but I've heard there's some pretty silly stuff going on over there right now involving politics. Or something.
But that stuff is easy to ignore.

There is a difference between using a symbol that was once used by the Nazis, and having an eagle that is on the flag 50% of the time even today. I do give it a bit of leeway, some people may not know, but it's gone past that, and not just because they see my tattoo.
