Well, I for one, can't stand to be patronized.

Tiff darling, what does that mean?

It means that was my attempt at being patronizing, and it either did, or did not, maintain my sarcastic tone online.

"Fat people who wear clingy clothes"

And in keeping with that:

- fat people who wear low-rise hip huggers and are oblivious to the handles that squeeze over the waist

People who criticize fat people. Obesity is a terminal illness very much like cancer. It destroys all the systems of the body very slowly causing an agonizing death. It is now treatable in this country, but our society still finds the need to critcize and insult those who are obese. Would someone criticize a person with cancer for being ill?

You know what's bothered me lately? There seems to be this new trend on eBay of selling DVD's w/o the cases/cover art. Then the seller goes on to say that they ship in a paper sleeve to reduce the shipping costs, but they charge $5 for s/h (I even saw someone charging $7!) There's no way it costs $7 to ship a DVD in a paper sleeve! I hate seeing a DVD I want at a reasonable price and then see this for shipping! Grrr! Wow, I just realized that everything I posted today had to do w/ bitching about how expensive stuff is. Being a college student w/ limited funds is really catching up to me!!!

That's so ridiculous! It only costs $3.10 for US mail *to Canada even!* to send a video tape by air!

My pet peev is when people Press the button for an elivator after it has been pressed. They seem to think that it will come faster, they press it knowing full well, and seeing that it is lit up already, and I am also waiting for the elivator already! God that pisses me off! :p

"Obesity is a terminal illness very much like cancer."
ok, I don't really get this. People are obese because well, you know. People can stop being obese anytime they want. It's called diet and excersise. Cancer is devestating and there isn't a cure.

Oh, simplifications are so appealing, aren't they?

Tell someone with hypothyroidism their obesity is their fault.

Posted: 10/30/04 at 12:05am

ok, well grovers said just general obesity

Tiff, I just found a new one on that "celeb" thread - how about people who in every other post they've ever posted on this board, can't spell nor punctuate for their lives, but they go on a certain thread where a certain person is posting and all of a sudden they're Mr. Grammar and Spellcheck. A-MAY-zing.

People who slurp soup.
People who sing Sondheim in a nasal voice wayyy too much.
People who turn around to listen in on others' private conversations.
People whose cell phones ring at crucial moments during plays (or, for that matter, at all).
People who breathe so loudly everyone can hear them.
People who posture like there's a camera on them all the time.

People who don't stop doing something after you've told them a MILLION times. That drives me insane!
People who think they're god's gift to earth, when they're actually stuck-up, obnoxious people.

No harm in having two threads on the same thing - sure you can post on it if you don't like it!

[DottieD'Luscia]

Posted: 11/5/04 at 7:26pm

People who start a new thread on something that was discussed a couple of days ago (i.e., Dottie D'Luscia; sorry guys)

[Ellie3]

No harm - you can never have too many chances to be bitter!

rAtHnAiT i JuSt ReAd YoUr PoSt On PeOpLe WhO ...okay enough of that...people who write ****tily on other boards and suddenly are the epitome of class, grace and good grammar in front of said certain Broadway celebrities.

Uh-oh...the brown-nosing's back. Keep in mind, as if shameless fawning isn't bad enough, shameless fawning when those people are downright nasty when said celebrity - oops, I shouldn't be getting into specifics - isn't around makes things even more unbearable.

I couldn't figure out what was going on either!! I kept on saying to myself, how come I didn't notice these posts when I read my thread before!!!
