People who video everything. 

 

I saw an article a few months back about someone attempting suicide (off the top of a building) and people were recording it.

That ****ing winds me up something silly  :angry: 

People that complain about hangovers! every ****ing week, are they retarded if you don't like feeling like shit after a binge then dont ****ing drink you cretin, also nobody gives a shit how rough you feel you just sound like a total wimp MTFU

Personalised number plates. Don't understand the draw at all, let alone spending thousands of pounds for them.

 

Yeah, this is a good example of something I don't get AT ALL. 

 

You can save a lot of money by just writing 'I don't know who I am anymore' in Tippex down the side of your car

I don't understand it when African countries allow rich white people to shoot endangered species for a few digits in the bank.

Nor do I understand the allure of being able to tell your friends you shot an endangered animal.  It's hardly a feat of skill to show off that you can shoot it with a rifle when the damn thing's huge and been carrying around an arrow wound for 2 days.

 

And it was in a wildlife reserve and was protected and had a tag on it to monitor it's movements. Some rich guy then pays £35,000 to illegally kill the poor thing.

I dont understand when city go on a losing streak, I cant ditch them.

I cant understand when I have read ALL your posts, think what a load of plonkers, but then come back for more, to start reading all the new ones...!!

My German wife believes she has the answer.....She says since there are no longer the comedy 1/2hrs or the comedy duos

Since the 80s, I am on a permanent journey trying to relive/refind that humour and foxesforum is the closest to it....

lol She's probably right, or else your just a glutton for punishment.

The dont judge me challenge. Makes no sense whatsoever.

Just another bullshit excuse to make yourself look good on social media by being a narcissistic dipshit.

Makes me ashamed to be part of this generation of utter twats

I don't get why some posters are writing 'like' in each sentence.

'I like, don't think that this should be happening'.

They sound like Shaggy..(the cartoon character, not the pop star)..like

lol

I dont understand why fully grown men are actually taking selfies using selfie sticks.

 

Selfies themselves are bad enough but if you are over the age of 9 and use a selfie stick then you are a Grade A C***.

I do that sometimes because of the way I talk, it's my "accent" coming onto a web page lol

Peoples obsseion with their phone. It's pretty sad that something that after all is just a technical device has become the center of the lives of millions of people.

 

They spend all their time trying to record the moment, they're not experiencing the moment any more.

 

Older folks whining about phones pisses me off to be honest. I'm not on it all the time but enough that I get a bit of stick from adults from time to time.

 

I'm not just "staring at a screen" as you like to patronisingly call it. I'm...

 

a) learning a bit more about that thing we were talking about in the last conversation.

b) looking up somewhere to eat nearby, reading reviews, finding something to do etc.

c) talking to friends (actually being social as opposed to you who's sat there reading a newspaper) and organising something to do tomorrow

d) catching up on some news/sport

e) watching a video. Just because you're reading a book and I'm watching a video it doesn't make you better than me. It just means you're old and getting left behind.

f) doing other things that you don't even know are possible on this device. All while you're sat there watching tv and moaning at me for staring at a screen.

What about selfies with landmarks? A selfie stick is really helpful with getting all family and the right angle for the landmark in the photo.

Its called asking someone to take the picture for you.

 

Or use a timer if you are on your own.

 

But i think i can accept people using them for family photos when on holiday or something. Although i would sooner ask someone to take a proper photo if youre trying to capture something in the background. I was more going along the lines of seeing adult men up town on a saturday night using selfie sticks in nightclubs/bars. Think they need to look down and locate their balls.

Quite right, I love the Wiki-trail of learning. I look at something I've just heard about, about 10 pages later and I've learned all manner of weird things that I can later relay to people to bore them at social events

 

Also love watching oddball comedy skits and homemade cartoons on Youtube, TV humour is far too often by-the-numbers and without any imagination - I like a good belly laugh and that you can watch exactly what you want when you want on a phone is fantastic. Shouldn't be taken for granted

 

Having said that, people who spend all their time on their phones on Twitter/Facebook liking photos of legs at beaches and stalking celebrities - don't understand that. Each to his own though

Agreed, reading a newspaper or whatever is just as unsocial as "staring at a screen".

I'm on my phone too much but I'm on it because there's not a lot else to do.

But what if I want to film myself at a Leicester match whilst a penalty is being taken?

So basically you're just as judgemental as they are... just because you're watching a video doesn't make you better than someone reading a book. It just means you haven't any patience to indulge detail in a story and shallow?

 

This kind of behaviour annoys me when done at a social event and people have organised to meet up and do something together... and yes, it does happen.

 

For the same reason I don't get going to the cinema with your mates. You sit next to each other in the dark and don't communicate. Point?

I don't understand the able-bodied people at my gym who park in the disabled spaces, because they don't want to walk too far (there's always spaces at the far end of the car park) :dunno:
