Oh god the people that come over & spend the whole time while at your house saying stupid things like, 'are you sure I am not bothering you,?' or, 'I don't want to intrude on you, I should go' after you have clearly told them it's fine....although you know it wont be fine for long...because their groveling about 'intruding' is getting old fast...

PatH

in the Uk they have been having Adverts in cinemas since at least 1997 -that I have known.

PatrickHenry · Jan 8, 2005, 03:47 pm

Yeah, it has been happening for a while in my neighborhood, too. But I have a hard time getting past it. It is so senseless: the audience PAID THE MONEY. If everybody, or even a sizeable percentage told the theater management: "Money back. I'm leaving bcause you don't respect me." I think they would have to revisit the policy. But, people are sheeple...

**Chris** · Jan 8, 2005, 04:08 pm

I agree.

Plus they are annoying. I only started to notice it back in 2000 or maybe 1999. Guess it leaves more time to get popcorn :)

People who brake at an intersection when the light is green

Actually, funny enough the advertising on the cinema are the only ways I know about upcoming movies. I rarely watch TV, and the newspaper reviews suck.

I don't like the product or service ads, but the previews are fine.

1: People who cut me off in traffic.

2: Fat people who think that dressing like Britney Spears/Ricky Martin makes them attractive.

3: People who come into my stepfather's shop and ask me if we sell machine-guns.

4: People who take up two spaces at once in the car-park!

5: Cold Guiness. Sacrelige.

6: Poorly-spoken Southron accents in TV and movies. Makes my skin crawl!

7: Bad gun-handling/Bottomless Magazine Syndrome in the movies.

8: People who talk on/answer their cellphones in the movie-theatre!

9: Commercials at the cinema. This is a badness.

10: Britney Spears, Jessica/Ashlee Simpson, Christina slutcakes Agu-whatever, all Boy Bands, Gangsta-rap, "remixes," and last but not least CLEAR CHANNEL RADIO!!!

11: Socialists/Communists who make up their own definitions for things to dominate a conversation, base all their "arguements" on feelings, and have never read Das Kapital.

d00d, nowadays, there is at least 20 minutes of ads from when the film has "started" so arriving later than the time than printed on ticket is a what I usually do now. Most frustrating when you've paid what is already a ripoff price (being in the UK).

Argh. The sound of loud chewing... just makes me wince and causes my toes to curl.
Also my neurotic pet peeve about crooked picture frames..eeh.

I hate that!!
My daughter who is 13, cannot get it thru her head to chew w/her mouth closed!!!
And my boyfriend's jaw pops when he eats ice cream with nuts (like rocky road), he has to eat the damn stuff almost every night before bed...it drives me NUTS!!!

Loud, nasal breathers. Even when they do not a cold. Especially during exams. They should be kept in a little room all of their own.

PatrickHenry · Jun 27, 2005, 02:05 am

I hate it when a dog, (especially one I don't even know!) sticks his nose in my crotch. That is entirely too familiar, IMO! If my teeth were bigger, I would bite the dog that did this to me...

PatrickHenry · Aug 13, 2005, 12:38 am

And I hate getting junk FAXes. There is a doctor's office here in this town that has a FAX with one digit different from my FAX. The exchange was only created about five years ago, and so people are used to the original (and only) exchange in this burg. Thus, I get Dr. Lucas stinkin' FAXes twice a week or more. Pisses me off, 'cause it wastes my FAX materials. That print film is expensive! They are also disclosing confidential patient information. But no matter how many times I call and ask that the junk FAXers stop buggin' me, they keep it up.

People that wait in the middle of the aisle in the parking lot for some car up ahead to pull out of it's parking space (and of course the people driving that car aren't even done unloading their groceries yet) and meanwhile traffic is backing up and they're sitting there like they own the whole damn place.
