Those ridiculous ads aimed at women that make it sound like, as long as you find the right way to remove leg hairs, you'll be smart, talented, empowered and irresistible to the person of your dreams. You know what, patronising ad person? I am way too smart, talented and empowered to fall for your crap, which is much more likely to make me irresistible to the person of my dreams than finding the right razor. Rolling Eyes

Adverts.
If I want something, I can work it out for myself, thanks. I don't need to be told what to buy by some shite on the TV/in the paper/on the web.

Also, Microsoft.
A monopolistic bunch of wankers who purposefully make their programs incompatible with open standards in an attempt to make sure everyone has to use their broken software.
Furthermore, since they now realise that no-one wants to use Vista, they've started a mass campaign of FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to make sure that everyone thinks they're going to get sued if they use anything else.
Grumble Grumble Grumble.

Oh bitching and ranting...what fun.

Ok, I know this is going to make a lot of women go "So what?" but I"ve about had it with the media of late in that a HUGE proportion of Ads on TV always have to have the GUY be a total dweeb.

I first noticed this when some car commercial had the guy drag his wife outside to show her that all four windows can be rolled down at the same time if you turn the key to the right instead of the left. She gives him a eye-roll and goes inside. He looks up proudly and she's gone. Result: Woman=smart, Man= stupid.

In a pizza commercial a few guys are sitting on the lawn watching sports. (Let's not even start with the "guys all live for sports" genre) the 'main' guy pretends to be calling for delivery pizza when he's really calling his wife in the house. EVEN though she asks him not to do this, he continues even adding a bit of bite 'And hurry it up, Chop Chop!'. She brings out the pizza and while they dig in, she turns on the water. The Guys just sit there. Once again Guys=stupid (and even in this one, SPORTS STUPID) and woman is smart, in charge and totally better than the guys.....

More and more commercials have jumped on this bandwagon thinking that men are fair targets. I hate this mentality. I don't watch sports and I dont' treat my significant other with disregard. I know a hell of a lot of other men who are the same, so why are we inundated with this on a more than daily basis??

And most likely your wife looked at you like you were the scum of the earth. "what are you talking about?" "So what?" "Men deserve it for a change..." I get this all the time.

No Marvinator, my wife is but a sweet lamb and would never do such. She completely agreed with me, asked what I wanted for dinner and then continued to rub my feet- all while wearing lingerie.

Jojo was not lying. He often wears lingerie while his wife rubs his feet.

I agree. I am a driver, not a cyclist, and am very cycle-aware and appreciate the dangers cyclists face. However, cyclists expect to be treated like vehicles on the road, and then proceed to ignore all rules which apply to other vehicles. Mad

Especially the one about pedestrians having right of way on pedestrian crossings Evil or Very Mad

Not to mention riding on the sidewalks.

I have no car. I use the bus and my cycle to get around. I do respect pedestrians. But I'll tell you true that if I can get on a sidewalk I'll ride on that anytime over the road itself. Luckily not many people actually use the sidewalks around where I live, besides other cyclists. The drivers just arn't respectful around here at all. And the times when I've had to ride in the street (due to a lack of sidewalks) I stick in the far right, hugging the curb and I still have people nearly clip me, hunk, shout obscenties.

Trust me as a cyclist, riding on the sidewalk is MUCH safer for us then the street itself.

Sure, I'll ride across red lights when there is no traffic crossing, cause I know if I wait for the green the flowing/crossing traffic won't give me room/time to get across.

My main bitch would be people playing music so f'ing loud that I can hear it in my sealed apartment, with AC going, from their car across the parking lot.

Fireworks at 1:30am with my cat sleeping on my legs.... whom I barely ever clip her claws. My right leg still hurts when I walk.

6am to 9am weekends. I wake up around 5-6 normally, and I flip on the TV cause I need some background noise, but during those hours most channels have those scam paid programming commercials.

WWE on SciFi channel.... I mean wtf....

I'm sure I can come up with more, but its about time for me to clock out and go catch my bus home.
