Stuff you're fed up with.

[Zantos]

The job market. It fucking sucks.

Unemployment is high, and there's absolutely no job security.

You're just lazy and picky. There are plenty of jobs out there, you just need to lower your standards.

Yeah, that attitude is what I'm fed up with. I've had my resumé done by professionals, written close to 40 applications in 2 weeks to different companies looking for people and 2 job interviews and no job came out of hours of work. Now that is reason on its own to get pissed, but when people on the internet who doesn't know me claim that the reason I can't get a job is because I'm lazy then I get really pissed. 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.

I wish you the best of luck getting a job, personally I gave up for the time and decided to live on my student loan rather than getting a part time job.

I'm glad you clarified the first sentence there as something you're fed up with. I totally thought about setting fire to you. I hate that I have every transferable skill known to man but because I have no experience then the people that left school at 16 to work on an ASDA checkout have better prospects than I do.

On that note, the idea of "Well you wanted to do this before, what's changed?". My Dad keeps doing this to me. "I thought you wanted to get a PhD and move to america and work for NASA, what's changed?" Well, aside from that was 10 years ago, and having done my masters I want to pursue different things. The fact that funding for the PhD I want to do is virtually non-existent so I'd rather get some job experience and come back to it when it picks up. But no, because he had hopes that I'd be this generations Einstein and damn what I want if it doesn't involve me having a nobel prize before I'm 30.

I'm fed up of not knowing what to do in life.

 

[BodomBeachChild]

Lack of the death penalty. People who ar caught after murdering their families or mass shootings get a fair trail and the verdict is usually "life in prison" or 4 consecutive life terms. Fuck. That. What use do we have keeping someone locked in a cell his whole life? None. It's a waste of time and money. It's not exactly humane to me to keep someone in a cell until they die. And to expect the average Joe to foot the bill when other criminals are caught and get released because the prisons are getting overcrowded. Take him outside, forget formalities, and blow the fuckers brains out. 15 minutes of an executioners day and one bullet plus burial services seem a heck of a lot cheaper to me.

I also wish the countries insurances policies would change. Drop Obamacare and open up cross-state buying. For example, I live in Ohio and insurance could be, and there is a chance it is, cheaper in my surrounding states. It's illegal for me to have insurance from any other state. Why? Just let me pick and choose. That should drive down prices by creating competition nationwide instead of in your state.

Illegal song downloading. I just watched an interview with Pepper Keanan from CoC/Down and he stated he did not agree with people downloading songs free. Maybe it's cause you're getting up in age, Pepper, but chances are when you were young and CoC was still underground that was how you got your name out. People trading bootleg cassettes. That's how you discovered bands. You heard it, liked it, bought it. I don't condone downloading whole discographies, but it is nice to download some sample music to test the waters and then go buy their album or merch to support them

 

[JagermanXcell]

I'm fed up with the evil in the world, wether its the the dark side of the internet, ignorance, selfishness, violence, politics, terrorists, space nazis, WHATEVER!!!
I know superheroes in real life wouldn't work but god damn it man! We need more humane humans with humanity!

Funny, stuff like this makes for good writing with inspiring messages and symbolism, if only they actually sunk in...

 

[RedDeadFred]

Atheists talking and preaching at people with the fervor of Evangelical Christians. Can't you just be smug in private and not have to condescend to everyone who may have any of their beliefs rooted in the religious/spiritual/paranormal/magical?

Look to the agnostic. Live and let live.

Most Atheists are not very vocal. It's just like any religion, there are a few people who are extremely vocal and try to jam their beliefs down your throat. I myself am Atheist and my mindset when it comes to religion is: whatever floats your boat.

OT: I'm fed up with people who use YOLO as an excuse for doing stupid shit. Actually, I'm just fed up with people who use YOLO for anything. YOLO is Carpe Diem for stupid people.

 

[Aeonknight]

Negativity

you know...the hate, bile and all round angryness spewed by the gaming-internet collective hivemind

I'm not saying everything is good or you have to live everything...but the whole Idea of "wait and see" seemed to have been lost...

Agree so damn much.

But to build onto it, it seems like people actually want things to suck, as though it justifies their constant cynicism. Not saying you have to be a ball of sunshine, but ffs not every decision is made with the intention of screwing you over, the sooner you stop TRYING to be a victim the sooner you can start enjoying yourself.

 

[Kyr Knightbane]

Lesbian relationships in webcomics for the sake of fanservice.

YES. WE GET IT. A PAIR OF TITS IS NICE TO STARE AT, TWO PAIRS IS EVEN BETTER. THIS HAS BEEN DONE TO MOTHERFUCKING DEATH.

If you're a budding web-comic writer and you want to have a lesbian relationship in there, for the love of all that is holy try to do something with it that isn't 'WOO! WOMEN SEXING WITH OTHER WOMEN!!! I'M TOUCHING MY PENUS AS I WRITE THIS!!!! WOOOO!!!

Add in something like a commentary on the difficulties of starting a homosexual relationship in a hetero-normative society, or do some dramatic bullshit of having one of the girls unsure of her sexuality and going off from there. Hell, just do a lesbian relationship 'just cause' but don't show any fanservicy bullshit - just have 'em in there as a couple characters who are in a relationship, no big song or dance about it!

Just something that isn't 'KNOW WHAT'S BETTER THAN TWO TITS? FOUR!!!!!!!' Will be refreshing to see.

(PS: If your solution to this is to instead have a lesbian alien race that have 4 tits instead of two, I will physically assault you then take your mother out for a nice dinner and NEVER CALL HER AGAIN.)

I wonder if perhaps we have read the same web-comic. One that has Questionable Content perhaps? That story arc pissed me off too.

Atheists. We get it. YOU don't believe in a higher power, but why must you go all Jehovah's witness on everyone? 'You're wrong because you believe in God, har de fucking har' Its getting old. How about you believe what you want, and i'll do what i want? Sound good? Awesome.

Praise Jesus.

MMO Fanboi/Fangurls. I. AM. SICK. OF. IT. Play WoW if you love it. Play SWToR if you love it. Play GW2, LOTRO, AoC, DDO... I DON'T CARE! It's like wherever you look on a forum or a faq website, someone has to say something like 'Dis gaem is sh!t. WoW is da besst gaem EVARR!!!!'. I'm glad you like it. GO PLAY IT.

Elitists... I hate you all. So you're good at a game. Well done. I'm fresh out of cookies. Stop bullying people who are there to have fun. So i didn't start with x item. Boo hoo. So i'm not doing x like you want me to. Again. Boo. Hoo. I'm having fun while you're tearing your hair out because i'm not stepping in line. I'm not losing. You are though.

I dunno, not much gets under my skin but in certain situations, those are my biggest pet peeves.

 

[ReinWeisserRitter]

Having to block all of you guys' avatars individually because they changed the damned URL they were on; now they share the same server as most of the site's images, so blocking that URL just breaks the site.

Drives me nuts.

On a related note, because so many of you are contributing to it, I'm really getting tired of looking at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. By itself I think it looks awful, but I don't think I'd dislike it anywhere near as much if it weren't everywhere I fucking turn, but it is, so I've come to inwardly sigh or roll my eyes every single time, then block that, too.

Even the small bit of satisfaction gained from wiping it from my corner of the universe is lessening, though. I really wish you people would find a new fad.

 

[Whateveralot]

Fake friends that claim to have best intentions, but stop caring on a moment's notice.

That, especially when there is a boyfriend / girlfriend involved that tells them to, for they shouldn't want to waste time with friends when they might as well be around THEM, right?

 

[Little Woodsman]

I'm fed up with people complaining about ponies.

Well, TBF most people here seem to be complaining about us bronies, rather
than the ponies themselves. That being said--lots of people are posting
about how sick they are of hearing about ponies. Umm, the new season started
about a week ago. In the past two weeks there have been a grand total of
two MLP threads. I have to question the validity of their complaints.
And some people have pony avatars!?!? Well we certainly wouldn't want people
to have avatars from a show that they love!
So yeah--really have to agree with you sir.

 

[Not Matt]

Belibers. good god. shut the fuck up already. you love the the boy that looks like a lesbian. i know. now shut up. the more you talk the more i despise him. stop i don't care. (also goes for directoners and twilight fans)

 

[neoontime]

Bacon. Seriously. It needs to stop.

Yes, finally...I found someone who doesn't look at bacon as a symbol of god. Seriously, people treat it the Chuck Norris of food and it's older than Chuck Norris jokes

 

[maidenm]

I am fed up with people who treat me or others like idiots because we have Aspergers syndrome. It's a disability, yes. It makes our lives difficult, yes. It does not make us fools.

On the other hand, I'm fed up with people who think they can ignore the issues I have because of AS because I'm not an idiot. I know it sounds like I'm trying to have and eat my cake at the same time, but I really just want to be treated with respect.

I'm tired of Twilight, and I hope it will all be over soon. Please.

I'm tired of a fictional character being refered to as "bad rolemodels" because they are doing something that people of ther gender is not "supposed" to do. If a character needs support from someone else to endure hardships but the person who helps them do not, that should be because their personalities are like that, not because of their sex.

I'm tired of people who think that femenists hate men, and even more tired of those who refer to themselves as femenists because they hate men. Femenism is about equality, the problem is that when is started equality would mean either that men whould have it as bad as women of women would be having it as good as men. What do you prefer?

 

[cerealnmuffin]

I despise the paper-thin apartment walls and being flanked by snorers. I can sleep through construction work and even the siren for air raid drill but snoring keeps me awake. I think with sounds at intervals, the brain focuses on each interval, expecting it.

Snorers whine how they can't do anything about it (when there is stuff that can be done) so I should buy a small yapping dog and say with a shrug, "Can't do anything about it." Yet, I'm supposed to control ANOTHER being, but they can't control themselves.

Headphones, the hum of my computer, and the heater fail to drown out that horrid sound.

-_- I miss sleep.

 

[Jesse Kilgore]

I'm fed up with LBP Karting adverts on this website. God I hope Sony are paying TheEscapist a fortune, the ads lock up the website and I have to close my browser instead of just navigating away.

I am sick of this too. I mean really, if you don't want me here Escapist then I will just watch the new Yahtzee video and leave.
