Things that bother you or don't make sense.

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

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.

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. :/

People who don't like Zombies! :greenpbl:

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.

People who are actually wise! (what a PITA!) (Or does #1 negate that?) lol!

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.

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?

The majority of large, horrendous watermarks that we see are not "a guy and his business"! Most belong to noobs, amateurs, and wanna-be pro's that typically turn out far less than stellar quality! But they seem to equate a watermark with being "professional" or "expert"... after all, they see it on Facebook all of the time (branding, even if you don't have a brand / business)!

Why is Florida called the sunshine state when it rains so much?!

 

[IByte]

People who complain about paying for burnt, over hyped an over priced coffee that tastes worst than Sanka.
But come in the office almost everday with a vente.

FIFY.

Why is Florida called the sunshine state when it rains so much?!

Why is Montana call Big Sky country, when all the mountains block so much of it? I can see a much bigger sky in Kansas. Montana needs to change their motto to Partially Occluded sky country.

Back to the question -- what annoys me is people who "call out" people who park in the handicapped spot on the assumption that they are not entitled to park there because they have no visible disability. My mother in law has post-Polio syndrome and has a severely atrophied leg and a limp, but she hides it well out of vanity. I've seen people scowl at her and one guy even made a rude remark to her. I let him have it and he felt like chit afterwards.

oooohhhhhhh New T-Shirt idea:

Failing to identify my physical handicap will likely reveal your mental one.

1. Barking dogs. Number one on my list. I like dogs as much as the next person but if a dog is barking and I can hear it in my house, with the windows closed, over the television, I hate that dog - and the owner. We recently had to move because of this.

You moved? Seriously, you should have left an anonymous paper bag on the owner's porch containing EXLAX and dog treats and a note saying:

EVERY MOTHER SINGLE TIME I hear your dog barking louder than my own TV w/ my windows closed, I'm going to assume he's complaining because he's constipated and I will administer TWICE the recommended dose for adults. Control your dog while he is still able control himself in your house.

65mph speed limits. Most cars these days can cruise at 80mph no problem.

Time to update!

 

[DarkShadow]

Speed limits 65 and I go safely 75 but yet people go by me like I am on scooter,you know the ones that go slower then a pedal bike.Most people in my state are doing 65 on side streets.

Speaking of weather forecasts, the 10 day forecast. They can't get this afternoon right.
