Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

It is true that you get grumpier as you get older, in which case I must be the age of Methuselah.
I think that as you get older you lose that childlike wonder at the world and you just realise that there is an awful lot to be grumpy about.
I think that you also see things that make you realize that 80% of the world's population are utter, utter, utter vile b'stards.
As Hannah Arrent said, man's inhumanity to man.
Overall, the world is actually a very f44kked up place and not really that nice.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Falling violent crime rates, a decreasing number of conflicts, a decreasing number of conflict deaths, more people living in democracies, fewer people starving to death, more respect for human rights including those of women and children, diseases being eradicated... it's not all bad.
The only drawback to being alive now is that humanity faces several existential threats which was never the case prior to 1945. Oh yes, and the music. That's sh1t as well.0 -

80% of the worlds population are not vile b'stards as you put them but very honest hard working people who want to just live their lives in peace. its the 0.01% who make the headlines again and again who create all the misery that make you think its more. It is always the small minority who make the news and the silent majority of goodwilled citizens who live ordinary lives who take the blame somehow0 -

I have a theory that part of the design is to discourage people from taking the product back to the shop, because once you've opened it, it can't be sold again.

Proper skinny jeans are a bit old hat now aren't they? Thought the current hipster trend was for tightish jeans with the ankles rolled up (which is a seemingly trivial thing that annoys me as well)0

And I've seen no evidence whatsoever that 80% of people are vile in any way. Imperfect, human of course - that's way higher than 80%.

After serving 18 years in the army (too date) I can say I have seen the evil this world can produce. From mass graves in the Balkans to children sent out with suicide vests by members of their own family. Trust me when I say you would be sh1tting yourself cowering in the corner at some of the stuff I have witnessed. I can also say that even in these dark and dangerous parts of the world the overwhelming majority of the people just want peace and are kind warm and welcoming.
If you think the world is 80% evil then all I can do is pity you and your paranoid existance.0 -

Tell them to close the door. Or take the wedge out yourself and if they moan explain that you are a paying customer and it's freezing cold.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
