Posted by bandi Yeah, headlights that aren't meant to have HID bulbs in them do a very bad job of being a headlight.

Sometimes bikers have a beam that flicks from high to low when in the low setting as a safety/see you coming thing. With the blue colored bulbs, they are more blue on low & white on high. So you get that white/blue flicker. But yes it is damn annoying.

That happens when someone walks in.........

In movie/tv shows where a character is either mad, in a hurry, or a badass when they get into their car and drive away the tires make a chirping/peeling out noise even though the car is driving away at a speed which wouldn't spin the tires normally in real-life

I hate the foley artists that add that stupid noise to absolutely everything that involves a car. Don't believe me? Pay attention next time your watching something. I don't know why this bothers me, but it does.

Posted by trent I don't know why this bothers me, but it does.

Twisty flashlights that click in a movie.

When I see the tire marks on the street from the 10 previous times they ran a chase scene through an intersection.

How Newegg's tracking of UPS packages is updated more quickly and has more information then if you goto UPS's actual website to track the package.

You suck UPS.

Sequels to movies that have the potential to be decent, but fail miserably. I think they do this on purpose just to piss off everyone who loved the first.

That reminds me of how I get pissed off during the standard "weapons cache" scene in a movie where they do not take enough weapons. Like when Ripley was in the drop ship near the end of Aliens: "Yeah! Tape together the flame thrower and the pulse rifle. Awesome, got the grenades! What? No extra magazine? You're going to need that Ripley! The ship has a ton lying around!"

Don't hate the foley artists. Reserve that for the producer who, after test-screening the scene to a randomly selected audience, and who upon reflecting on the polling evidence provided by the test audience's personally annotated score cards, realizes that the scene requires more cowbell (for e.g.).

Foley artists spend a lot of time listening to things, and are more/less acutely aware of how everyday things sound. They're the one's shaking their heads when the producer arrives and says, "I want you to really punch up the squealing tires, even though the car is gently easing up to speed."

What really irritates me are scenes where the character smokes, but the actor clearly does not, and so must perform the act of smoking, based solely on 'what smoking looks like' rather than as a natural action.

Watch Gene Hackman in Get Shorty. Or Joe Pesci in JFK. These men do not smoke, and it's is abundantly clear that they are acting when they do.

The only actor who more/less successfully pulls this off, that is, appearing as a real smoker, is John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, even though (at least to the best of my knowledge) he is never actually seen to either inhale/exhale. It's all in how he handles the cigarette, and how he manages the tobacco and rolling papers. It's loose and familiar, not stilted and practiced.

Anyhoo...carry on.

When one decides to wear nice/dressy clothes to work (shirt may reveal some cleavage, but not a lot) and then the man of the house deems the outfit too nice to wear and that I must be trying to impress someone else? WTF?

Double-wide strollers. Get the fuck out of here with those things. I was just at Disneyland & could slap some stupid ass parents right about now.

Dude, you brought it on yourself.

I'd be interested in researching this issue personally, perhaps over dinner.

Posted by SaraBellum Dude, you brought it on yourself.

Agree. Stupid parents still need to be slapped. The rest get a cookie for keeping their kids in check.

People who put their kids on those stupid leashes. If ya kid can't figure out verbal commands at that point, they aint ready for public exposure.


Oh, and I use to get pissed about tires sequeling on dirt, till I started going to the dirt tracks. Ya sure as hell can. Its awesomely.

Posted by jeepdave People who put their kids on those stupid leashes. If ya kid can't figure out verbal commands at that point, they aint ready for public exposure.

One of the best things I ever saw was a kid on a leash with the least tied to the other kid's wheelchair. The only way it could have been better would be if Leash Kid was forced to pull Wheelchair Kid.

a cookie eh?? does it count if I put my friends kids in check? we were at a cafe this morning and his kid was being wild, per normal, and I got sick of it. So i reached across and smacked him one and told him that if he didn't shut the hell up and eat I was going to throwing him into a shark tank. He shaped up and acted fine the rest of the time. everyone was amazed and asked me what I did to control him... "a little discipline" was my answer... retards.
