It's in good spirit, but after the first time it get a little annoying.
This happens to me, too! It's like the concept of exercise and "going green" just isn't in the best interest of anybody, and they think they're doing me a favor. As if my car is broken and I have no choice but to ride a bicycle.

Living in my hometown I find that sometimes im stopped on the street by ppl who know me from donkey's years back but I havnt the foggiest who the fuck they are. I think the reason is because im a 6ft 5 guy whose face hasnt changed all that much from when I was a child, So im the kind of guy ppl tend to remember. What makes it worse is that as a teenager I was quite a private person who didnt mix or give a fuck about ppl who wernt my friends. (As a preteen I was the total oppersite and would play with kids I didnt know)

So what usually happens is that I get stopped by someguy who says hes an old school/ childhood friend, (their definition of friend is different to mine, otherwise ild know who they were) and we end up having this wierd conversation with them trying to make me remember who they are which I know isnt going to happen since I dont recognise their name and I sure as hell arnt gonna recognise a face thats now in its 30s is balding and has a full beard.

Nowadays I generally make up an excuse and walk away but which is better then what I did in the past and pretend to know they are. Ive found out that besides looking like a prick, I risk running into them at a later date and which makes me a bigger prick when I tell them the truth that I dont know who they are. This happened today lol :oops:

A couple other varieties of obnoxious YT cruft:

- "Thumbs up if <website/TV show/YT celebrity/etc.> brought you here"

- Comments about Justin Bieber on videos that do not feature or mention Justin Bieber.

Add any popular YT joke, its like the worst aspect of playground jokes all condensed onto one page so that it looks like someone has been BASIC "Hello World" programming.

People gushing about Scott Pilgrim. Just reading about it I already know I don't like it. Quit telling me I will like it when that's utterly impossible.

Yeah, same here. There are ideas that are so bad they're good (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), but STILL there are some boundaries that shouldn't be crossed

The movie Scott Pilgrim was enjoyable, I thought. The special effects were fresh and original (and not overused), and Scott was somewhat different from your usual Hollywood protagonist. It was refreshing to see a male lead that was believably flawed, and not really macho. The music was great, too. As far as comic book adaptations go, I thought it was super.

You liked Hot Fuzz and/or Shaun of the Dead, right? Same director.

I do think the comic itself is somewhat overrated, though. The art strikes me as somewhat immature, and the pop culture references that were toned down in the movie are a little too kitschy here.

Anyway, on topic! -

John Mayer. I hate that douchey douche and his douchecore music. Ever time I hear his pretentious tripe come on the radio while I'm working, I cringe in revulsion.

(For the sake of not offending anyone, I'll keep it a bit ambiguous)

Dear people of a specific national origin living in and calling from Florida:

Would it f***ing kill you to learn proper English, and not call me at the tech support line hoping that I'll be able to figure out your language just because it's similar to mine? I learned English all on my own without having to pay anyone, so what's your excuse?

Really wanting to say "F*** you" in many different languages for the reason above,

Spec.

While we are on the topic of shitty music that annoys the hell out of us, I just want to chime in with this pathetic little piece of garbage:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4hsC0nRvZM

Apologies for subjecting your ears to that. The line "I'm so lonesome I could die" really does it for me. It's the most insufferably wuss-sauce lyric since Morrissey's days in The Smiths (though I like The Smiths for Johnny Mar, and yes, occasionally the Moz himself when the right mood allows). Just hearing a grown man say that, all vulnerable-like makes me cringe with embarrassment, disgust, and contempt for him. It's unbelievable that people like him are allowed to reproduce.

Two comments about that. One, I'm pretty sure The Smiths were little tykes when that was recorded. Two, John Denver could still eat John Mayer AND James Blunt for breakfast. John Denver could crap bigger than them.

A fire ant can quite literally devour a ladybug one fine day, and a rollie pollie the next. That doesn't change the fact that the ant is just an ant, and any mammal can fart on him to kill him.

Tall people at concerts who show up out of nowhere at THE LAST FUCKING MINUTE and naturally squeeze in just in front of you to block your entire view. This always happens to me, but this one time @ Roskilde Festival, me and my buddy (also a short guy) found a really great spot with an excellent view for the band Muse. What do you know, two tall dudes show up and of course have to stand right in front of the shortest guys around. I tapped the back of the tallest one and told him to fuck off. To our surprise, they looked really scared and walked off. Me and my buddy high fived each other and watched the show.

Any tall concert-goers here who can explain why in the fuck this is OK? :evil:

You know. I think in the pop teen groups that have been around in the last 20 years all you need to is accentuate the word "BABY" to be successful. Any group that sings about "baby baby" needs to be shot. So unoriginal and pathetic. I'd like to make a music video where the song goes "baby baby" whilst some dad figure is wiping some babies ass hole. :mrgreen:

I don't mind horses, but only if they are MADE OF STEEL!!

On the topic of song lyrics, how about songs that go "No no no no no" or also "yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah". How utterly uninspired.
