ooo this should be interesting. I'm in a not-so-good mood.
-people who expect leads in shows.
-people who want leads just because it's the lead.
-people who think way too much of themselves but pretend they don't.
-people who prefer to act "chill" and always feel the need to be "chill." whatever that means.
-also: the "chill" people who tend to say things online such as "omggg yeaaa" slash anything that involves using 13 unnecessary letters at the end of each word.
-people who think they have an amazing voice or are just amazing in general because one person told them so.
-COMPLAINERS. need to shut up and stop saying "poor me."
-immature people. I don't care if you "want to have fun" just don't act like you're 7.
-people who think music theory is harder and more important than drama or musical theatre. blah.
-people who just don't get it.[/quote]

People who pretend to think lowly of themselves. I don't know if that was worded correctly, though. But like, when people compain about a 93% on a Science Unit Final. I know, you were only a few marks away from perfect. But shut the f*ck up. You know your marks are better than everyone else's, so stop asking for compliments.
Same scenario with "I'm fat," "I'm ugly," "I hate myself." We know that you don't actually think any of those things. You just want everyone to say, "Awww sweetie you're none of those things. I love you, you're perfect....... now change."

(Yeah, I was one of those kids who got lectures about how I could be trying harder if I brought home a few B's on my report card. Parents are weird.)
--oh, I remembered another irrational annoyance. Anachronistically "enlightened" characters in historical fiction. You know, the kid who lectures his parents about how slavery is wrong, or the spunky young heroine who decides that corsets are a tool of the patriarchy. Effing gag me.

Smoking doesn't bother me. I have asthma, and smoke doesn't bother it at all (both on the occasions when I'm with smokers and the very rare occasions that I have one myself.) Like PappyCat, I would be annoyed if someone just lit up inside my house, for two reasons. One, because smoke sinks into things, and I don't want the remnants of old smoke inside my furniture. Bleh. Two, my dad's insanely asthmatic and EVERYTHING bothers him and sets it off.

I don't want to hijack the thread, but people smoking in public bothers me a ton, even outdoors. It blows around, and usually comes right in my face. The worst part is that the majority of smokers on campus are foreign exchange students, and when you try to tell them that they are within 25 ft of a building entrance, and that they're not allowed to smoke there, they don't understand.
I am soooo excited for May 10th, though (or really next semester) when OCU becomes a completely smoke-free campus! They just better enforce it...

^ UNC became smoke-free on Jan 1 this year, and all that meant was that they put up signs that said "Smoke Free Campus!" in giant Carolina-blue letters all over the place. And, as I insinuated earlier... people just stand right in front of those signs and smoke. And yes, it bugs me.
But! I came here to post something unrelated to smoking that bugs me A LOT: when the little minimize-y buttons on the bottom toolbar thing on Windows randomly stacks a bunch of like windows without permission and then won't unstack them unless I quit out of every other program. Drives me MAD. There must be a way to make it quit that...

Things that I can't stand!Dear Musicals.Net Posters,
There are many things in the world which I simply can't stand! I'll try to list the more politically correct things which I can't stand.
I can't stand:
Tight articles of clothing (unless they happen to be tank tops)
Certain foods (Ie: Zuchini, etc.)
Primal people
Ridiculous people who laugh at someone when they fail to understand some stupid, 3rd-grade level dirty joke
The sound of any telephone; I don't like to be interrupted
Black nail lacquer on anybody (unless that person is a woman who is sporting nails of some elegant length)
Pity kitties (Especially those who make up lies in order to win pity, and those who make suffering seem like a means to a social prize)
Shallow, bland, rich people
The uncontrollable crying of anybody's baby
Religious people who either try to force you to adopt their religion, or who make you obey the rules of their religion when you're around them
Those people who I am supposed to dislike
Bad haircuts
Parents who berate their kids in public
People who don't chew with their mouths closed
Kids who have runny noses
Messy foods (Ie: Fruit, etc.)
Pregnancy (Ie: The tummy, the birth process, etc.)
Uncleanliness (Ie: Dirt, germs, illness, etc.)
I'll add more items later.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

I was one of those kids, too. I got banned from auditioning for things because I brought home a B on my first report card for Year 12. One B.
But ... what is the cut-off for As, Bs, etc, where you are, anyway? People who regularly scored in the nineties in Year 11 and 12 at my old high school were a real rarity. Normally, you could expect an A for 83-ish% and above. And that's pretty standard all around my area. Weird.

AMEN. Nothing more to say. Just -- amen.
| lesmisloony wrote: | | And! DVD's for different regions. Ugh, why? All that does is make life more miserable for people who collect particular movies. |
Agreed. So totally agreed. I used to change the region code on my computer whenever I wanted to watch certain DVDs on a whim, without realising that I could only do that a limited number of times. Now it's stuck and I can watch a grand total of three DVDs out of our collection on it. It sucks.
Oh, and one more thing that makes me fume? When someone thinks that saying, "No offence, but..." makes insulting and belittling somebody else in public perfectly alright. In private, too, as a matter of fact. And then, if you try to defend yourself, you're petty. "Oh, but I said, 'No offence'!"

Yeah ... for me an A is a 94% and above, 89-93% is an A-, and so on and so forth. This one teacher I have (in an AP science course, no less) grades on some ridiculous curve, so, even though I have an 87%, I'm bordering on a B-.

Here's the thing. You really can't blame individual Jehovah's Witnesses. They get excommunicated from their church if they don't go door-to-door or complete other mission projects. And being excommunicated from the church means their family isn't allowed to touch them or speak to them... but if they are a male, they're expected to remain living with their family and being the breadwinner.
It's an issue with the church, but not with the individuals and it's very complicated.

about the smoking argument, I think it goes both ways, if you're in a place with a lot of smokers, then don't complain, you decided to go there. However, if you're a smoker and a guest to someone's home or in a place where there are a lot of non-smokers, then the polite,repectful thing to do is ask, keep your distance, go outside, etc. So in other words, majority rules.

Oh, you know what else bugs me?
Whenever I watch a YouTube video of the broadway/other professional production of a popular show (Les Mis or Into the Woods or something of the sort), about half the comments are "My school is doing this show and I'm playing (fill in the blank)." I dunno. I just think it's annoying. Discuss what you've seen, not a high-school production that nobody cares about. Unless it's constructive (i.e. "When I was in this show in high school I wish we'd done more of this or more of that.")

Hmm. I see how that could be irritating, but look at it this way ... especially if you're introducing this gay friend to a straight girl, it's almost a way to ease any possible sexual tension. Or, if you're introducing him to a straight guy you're interested in, it may be a way of saying "obviously just friends, no competition."
Or maybe i'm just being stupid.

People who accuse people of being "ignorant" when in reality they simply don't agree. It's become such a standard and such a crutch, when you're not winning someone over, to just say that they're "ignorant" and dismiss them. And people accept it even when the two parties are clearly equals experiencially and knowledgeably. It's, like, the magic word.

I've seen that happen several times, too. In my experience, it's usually because the gay person is one of those types who makes an ongoing production out of it. Every aspect of their personality is so centered on being gay-ayyy!!! that they present themselves as not being just a person, but necessarily being a gay person. Thus, they are not just a friend, they're a gay friend. If that makes sense. And don't tell me I'm homophobic and prejudiced, because we all know people who do this.

This one is theatrically focused. It annoys the HELL out of me when people say that a certain show is not possible for their company because of budgetary or facility limitations. I'm not talking about when people say they can't afford a show because it's one like "Little Shop of Horrors" or "The Fantasticks" or "Beauty and the Beast," with especially high royalties. That's valid, it literally costs more to get the rights. I mean when people say they don't have a good enough fly space, or they can't afford to rent the costumes, or something like that. Because if you know what you're doing, you can really stage almost any show very simply in a small space on a low budget and still have it look wonderful and be very effective. It's just that so many companies today have no idea how to use their resources, so they rent costumes and sets for every show instead of building a stock of their own, and copy famous original productions instead of using their own ideas. When that's the case, yes, it is very expensive.
Cover the royalties, and I'll put up any show you want in a black box for under $2000. And it will be a good production.

Well, I say my gay friend more often than I should I guess, but to me, a gay friend is a very unique kind of friend, especially for a girl, so it's like introducing them as your best friend or your old friend (as in, known each other for a long time, not that they're old). So that's why I say it, but I'm trying to say it less because someone pointed out to me that I do it excessively, so I'm trying to tone it down.

When people copy the original Broadway production down to every last detail. The performing arts school does this with ALL of their shows. With Grease, CATS, and with 42nd Street, they used the original direction, choreography, sets, costumes. He even told all the actors how to say each and every line, pretty much. It just annoyed me. Where is the creativity? Granted, he was dealing with terrible actors, but I think often times him telling them how to say their lines made it even more stilted.
I absolutely loved the director and thought he was brilliant and incredibly knowledgeble, but I just wanted to see something more original going on at an art school.

These new laws where you can't use a cell phone while driving unless it's hands-free. The danger factor has nothing to do with the fact that you're holding a phone. You're always doing something with your hands - changing the radio station, consulting written driving directions, drinking a raspberry-peach iced tea - who drives with their hands at ten and two at all times? The danger is the distraction caused by people not paying attention to the road when they talk on the phone, not the fact that they're holding a phone in their hand.

It's not the pop culture phenomenon for the current generation that it was for the last. Even those who understand what RHS is are unlikely to know how to do the time warp.
I, for one, am bugged when people overreact because everyone doesn't have the same specialised knowledge that they have. If someone almost cried because a group of people young enough to be in "Footloose" didn't know the time warp, she needs a reality check and a sense of perspective.

Same. Well, I've only heard The Time Warp, but have never seen the film.

I can't believe everyone in the entire world can't recite the passage about Montparnasse in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables... |
It's just a jump to the left...

haha i can't believe people don't know the time warp, i've broken out into so many random time warps with people. so much fun.
It bugs me when peoples cell phones go off in plays. Especially when they have whole long announcements about how you should check your phone and turn it off.

Our proms are definitely not very traditional and neither is my high school, as it is a very small (50 some kids) art school where we address our teachers by their first names only and we have no dress code (so many kids walk around barefoot). Last year our prom was Alice in Wonderland themed. Also since we're so small, any grade can attend prom.
Anyways something else that bugs me is when people, on their Myspace profiles and under the "Books" section, will write something like: "Books??! What are those???" Ehh. C'est la vie.

Or, more like: "omg i dunnoooo readingszszs suuchhh a draggggg"
People who don't appreciate a good book (not any particular good book, as I am completely appreciative of differences in taste when it comes to literature ... but people who don't appreciate the merits of reading a book without pictures) make me want to hit them.
The Beatles bug me right now. ... Okay, I lied. They don't bug me. I somewhat enjoy them. I used to be completely obsessed with them. I'm not anymore ... but that's entirely off-topic. What bugs me is that they were brought back "into fashion" by Across the Universe (contrived, overdone, generally bad movie in my opinion), and now the teenage masses act all smug because they think they're into something that other teenagers "don't get" and that they're being all cool and counterculture. Okay, guys. Listen well. It doesn't count as counterculture if you're into it when eeeeverybody else is. So, sad as it may be, count them as another mainstream, popular band and shut up with all the "Cool Kids Listen to the Beatles." Unless you mean it as a very literal statement of fact. Like, "Cool Kids Watch American Idol." Because seriously. Everyone does it.[/u]

People who, when they get excited, express it by being loud and physical. Example, I'm sitting here in the living room watching a game on TV, and this girl keeps crying out, pounding on the couch, victory dancing, etc. It's really annoying! Granted, I'm more of a soft and gentle personality, but I just don't see why you would get so worked up. I get as excited about things as anyone else, but I don't have to vent my excitement and make a spectacle of myself.

Some people cannot physically control it. If they get amazing news, they get a sudden overdose of energy and start jumping up and down or whatever.

I realise that's how some people act, it just irritates me is all. I guess I'm just more refined than that.
At least, as far as the here and now goes, there are only seven seconds left in the game and she has to leave as soon as it's over. So barring the possibility of overtime, this ordeal will be over soon.

Well, there is was. And she just about died. Good God. The last time I had that reaction to something, I smoked a cigarette afterwards.

Um, I'm bugged by classical music being so overused in some situations that it becomes cliche, like "In the Hall of the Mountain King" or "Also Sprach Zarathustra."
Or when people do Gollum voices. Or Stitch voices. And think they're being extremely original and funny.
When I can see that a shot has been greenscreened. That always saddens me, especially when the movie is otherwise awesome. Like LOTR.
The fact that I used to like Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom so much.
The fact that if Elijah Wood were only a little less hobbit-y and a little taller, he would make a fantastic Marius.
The fact that I have to mentally cast EVERYONE in Les Mis movies.

Beagle, darling, if you're going to keep calling me a bitch, perhaps the relevant metaphor is the one about the glass houses.

I haven't seen anyone try so hard since Cinderella's stepsisters tried it on.

Young people who think it's terribly clever and amusing to torment and verbally attack other people, who are constrained by the requirements of normal civilised behaviour from responding in kind.
There are several people on this board I would LOVE to give a good hard slap for their persistent, 'look at me, I'm pushing the limits' immature behaviour.
Just grow up, will you? I don't care how young you are, I don't care how bright or talented or marvellous everyone tells you you are, all I see is a little buzzy mosquito-irritant kid who needs a slap. Learn some manners, learn how to interact politely with people, and THEN, maybe, you'll be worth considering as a worthwhile member of society. |
If this is about the direction this thread has taken, I'd just like to point out that this is not about provoking the mods just because they're mods. It's about Beagle using his mod status completely inappropriately, to say nothing of picking fights with other forum members and then flat-out insulting them when they rise to the bait--behavior that verges on trolling. Since we haven't seen hide nor hair of most of the other mods for a while, let alone any acknowledgment that his behavior is inappropriate, I hardly think it's petty and immature to call him out on it ourselves. (And even a cursory look at this thread will make it painfully obvious that Beagle feels no constraint on responding immaturely.)

This particular thread, yes. But you can only be a Pollyanna (which, if you catch the reference, you'll recall that no one liked any better) for so many years before you have to call people on their bull and tell them to cut the crap. No one thread tells a full story.

So you're allowed to belittle people and pick fights because of your seniority? I know of plenty of people who've been here for ages, and they don't go around trying to annoy everyone else.
