Things that bother you or don't make sense.

1. Rainy season in Florida...
2. Ppl who drive slow in the left lane/fast in right
3. Ppl who drive at warped speed knowing full well there is a red light ahead
4. The workday schedule...who on God's green earth thought getting up at the crack of dawn...to start a workday made sense. (Sleepy today, sorry!) :mrgreen:
5. People at the gym who take the weights to wherever and don't put them back.
6. Ppl at the gym who sweat all over the equipment and don't clean it off.
7. Auto correct! Corrects words that don't need correcting! Argh!


Omg .... I have 7 things listed? I need to chill out. Hehe

It's 'Murikan to say Nukular. But seriously, it pisses me off too. Being president or the discoverer of things does not give you the right to add imaginary letters into words.
And my wife says fertography. I point and laugh.

What ACTUALLY pisses me off are people nagging others about how their watermarks are "distracting their eye", like the damn thing is going to be on the finished product.
And the attitude, "bow to my C&C will because I'm older and wiser and I say so." Is it just me, or is there a "holier than thou" clique running around this place? Maybe it's just because I'm new around here. Or maybe it's because I'm human, and I understand that none of this stuff matters THAT much.

It annoys me when people use awkwardly placed and large watermarks as if their work is actually so valuable that everyone is out to steal it. If having your image appear on some nameless blog is such a monetary loss, then chances are you need to rework our business plan.

No one here wants that 72ppi, slightly OOF photo of some kid you photographed over the weekend. You don't have to noticeably brand it as yours. Metadata is there for a reason.

I REALLY dislike it when people give unwarranted advice, especially when it comes to photography. If you're really so concerned about how I'm doing something, then write a damn book and I might skim over it at Barnes and Nobles. Otherwise, get outta mah face hoe.

Now, tell us how you REALLY feel.

I am most definitely holier than thou.

Overly political people of any age (no discrimination).
A$$holes that refuse to get out of the way of emergency vehicles responding priority.
Chartreuse: the word; the color's OK.

Yeah it doesn't make sense to me either with some people's stuff. But I see a lot of professionals that post finished proofs here as well. Stuff that they're no **** protecting so somebody doesn't try to print their [insert event] proofs on their Lexmark inkjet at home instead of paying the photography his due. Then the first thing the photography hears on here is "nice advertisement", or "the watermark is drawing my eye away from the subject" or "I don't like the placement". I thought that was exactly the point of the watermark, so people don't try cropping it out and steal their stuff! I agree with the above in many situations (the exact reason I don't watermark my photos...) but with a guy and his business?

since this is just an internet forum, and not the supreme court, any advice that is rendered here is completely subject to the OP's discretion on whether to use it or not.
those that ask questions in an open forum are subject to whatever opinions might be thrown their way. take what you like, use what you want, forget the rest.

Does that mean those things can't bother me? Not sure why I was the one quoted... Feel free to PM me.

I'm confused. Do things bother you, or are you human and understand none of this stuff matters THAT much?

I guess it's just always bothered me that people take things (mostly themselves) too seriously. But, yes, I see your point. Thanks for the sanity check

Tailgaters

I have a fix for tailgaters slow way down to the point people are passing on bicycles.

My top 3:
1. The fact that the first 4 letters of my license plate are BEEP. beep beep beep beep everywhere I go. ugh! Morons with car horns. Turn up the annoyance level if I have my tripod out on the side of the road.
2. Saggy jeans with underwear showing. Shoot me now! You look stupid.
3. Bluetooth phones when not used in a car or your office. You are not that important people! Get over yourself as you walk down aisle 2 of the grocery store talking to your imaginary friends.

Lol!! :}

That movie "The Purge" or whatever that is coming out.

Every time I ponder the concept of that movie I pretty much barf in my mouth. Not saying there hasn't been other bad movies out there but damn.


So given the premise of this movie:


Bro: "So John, what's going on?"

John: "Not much bro, my whole family was murdered last night but hey It's the purge! What can ya do.."



Yeah right, the amount of crime and homicides would increase astronomically.

1) Imaginary friends who can't keep up their part of the conversation.
2) Fake precision. 48.9% probability of rain is really "there's a even chance of rain somewhere in the listening area...".
3) People who mistake their wishful thinking for informed opinion. Blissful ignorance is at least a sin of omission.

if it is nothing but mindless violence then it will not be interesting but if it weaves in a deeper moral message, then it might work. Rotten tomatoes gave it 61%...me thinks there's nothing too deep about this film. Lol

Add to my list >>>> anything zombie related. Who started this zombie business? I just don't get the appeal. :/
