There's a house round the corner with it all up! The Tree, lights the works!

Some people need to get a life!

People who don't take down their lights for months after the holidays have ended annoy me just as much.

I also hate the profuse use of the word "hun" in a condescending manner. I just wanna smack people who use it that way sometimes.

The all-mighty and unconditional support when you want to study something--still hearing from my uncles and sister "But I don´t see you as a doctor...I see you more like..."

I just love it--S--

That's just using logic and reasoning my friend. Just like genre logic. If you're the only country album nominated for the top prize, you're most likely going to win your sub-category.

Oh, yeah, and Kanye West happens to be one of THE best-sellers of 2004. I guess you don't listen to rap much, and I guess you're not that into music, because rap is currently domination Top-40 Radio.

No, that doesn't nessasarily gaurantee you top prize. Obviously, the Grammys don't think so either.

If Kanye West is a rapper, that's probably why I've never heard of him, since I'd rather shove a nail through my hand than listen to rap. Did you know the 'C' in rap is silent?

I think that is a very crude/disrespectful thing to say. I would never condem a genre, even one that I dislike. I could dismiss country music and cliche romance with nothing more than melodramatic stories to tell, but I don't, because even I recognize the artistic value of recent albums from Loretta Lynn and Gretchen Wilson. Anyone who says rap or any other art form (which rap is) is garbage without fulling understanding it, is in MY opinion, a proponent of cencorship, not to mention socio-centric.

I know that doesn't guarantee the top prize, votes still count - duh. However, where's the logic in nominating a new artist for the top prize when you don't give him the win in his sub-category. If that's the case, New Artists shouldn't be allowed to compete in the top category, and the genre categories should be eliminated. People don't understand that the Grammy's are a hierarchial system. It only makes sense to win you sub-categories before moving on to the bigger awards, otherwise the whole thing is out of sync, indiotic, and pointless.

I'm still recovering from the rap lynching in the many posts I read. No wonder we live in the world we live in. When people attack art, that's when the world is in trouble...oh, wait, it is in trouble. Mystery solved. No need for anyone to post a response to this post.

I'm so sorry but I have to bump this thred because I really need to get this off my chest.

Okay, Here we go

People who claim their "emo" or "Punk" and say that such bands as Green Day or My Chemical Romance is "Poser music"

People who spell 2 as in to or too, cuz as in cause, and don't use capitals at all ON A MESSAGE BOARD!

People who use this expression too much in their posts

Teenagers who act werid and say such things as "We gotta find Nemo!"or "I is 13" and claim their "original".

Shallow People

People who use the word "community" way too often

People who say homophobia is against "god"

Rude people (who doesn't hate them?)

Teenagers who think Disney flims are for babies

Whenever I talk about an old movie star and then one of my friends goes "Who ?"

Girls who flirt with boys all the time.

People who claim that Family Guy was a ripoff of the Simpsons.

Anime Fans in general(It gets even worse when they start getting obsess with Japanese culture.)

People who only like newer Disney flims.

and the list goes on.

I was waiting for this thread to pop back up.

People that use the word "redneck" and "ni*ger*.

When the people in the U.S. call people from Spain "minorities", while they are white and should be included in the Caucasian category.

When the terms "Hispanic and Latino" are used only to mean biracial Latin American peoples. While Hispanic also includes Spaniards. Latino also inludes the French, Italians, Portuguese, and the Romanians.

When people use the word "Spanish" to only think about biracial Latin American peoples, while Spaniards are called white.

When people in the U.S. celebrate the independence of some other country, such as Jamaica, Haiti, or Mexico. If you love that country so much, go back to it.

People who think white Americans should have to pay for the enslavment their ancestors caused on the African Americans. While many Caucasians had been enslaved before the Africans (such as the Slavs and Irish by the Italians).

The Africanization of the English language. Let's keep it proper people. No cu, no I not be there.

People who walk around and brag or consume themselves with sexual and imoral information.

People who think cursing is fun or amusing. While it is a trashy thing to do.

When American citizens cannot even speak the official language, English. The Government should set up centers to teach these people how to speak and read basic English.

Ageism, Sexism (against males and females), and Racism.

People who walk slow in front of you, and don't leave any room to get around.

People with excess cleavage, or wear baggy jeans that show their boxers. Please people this is not "Porno USA".

People who say all NASCAR fans are white hillybillys that live in the South.

When people say NASCAR isn't a sport because you are just going in "circles". Well in baseball, football, soccer, etc. you are just running in the same direction (and you get breaks).

I could go on and on.

Since start my new job at the Humane Society.....

@$$hole pet owners who have no business owning a dead goldfish let alone a dog.

Jerks who dump their animals after hours without writing so much as the animal's NAME down on the anonymous sheet we leave out. The paper has questions that would help us adopt the animal out. Like, "Does he/she get along with other dogs/cats/children?" It's not like we can have kids come in to test a dog's reaction so we are forced to say, "We aren't sure.". Stupid f****** people. Bad enough they dump their pets, even worse they won't spend 5 minutes answering a few questions.

People saying that the word "sex" appears in the Lion King.

People saying that Aladdin says, "Take of your clothes"!

People pronouncing Caribbean in "Pirates of the Caribbean" wrong!

Teenagers saying Disney is for "little kids" but love Shrek 2!

1) Disney's direct-to-video sequels (or at least the large majority of them).

2) The way the Disney Channel has barely any Disney stuff and MTV rarely has anything to do with music.

3) When Christmas stuff is displayed in stores in early October. Give us Halloween for a minute!

4) Generalizations based on anything from race to religion to anything else. Every category you can come up with to group people in will have plenty of jerks and plenty of good, friendly people, unless one of the groups you've categorized them in is "jerks" or "good, friendly people."

5) That no one watches Arrested Development, and it's going to get cancelled if that doesn't change.

6) When people clog up the entrance to a ride because they're asking the cast member about Fast Passes or discussing with their giant group if they should go on the ride or not. Have your conference somewhere that's out of the way!

7) Getting the seat next to the enormous guy on your flight.

8) Being the enormous guy on your flight.

9) People who drive slow in the left lane. The left lane is for passing. If you're going 210 but not passing anyone, stay to the right! Someone may be going 215.

10) How there's no ice cubes or air conditioning in Germany, unless you really luck into it. Welcome to the future, Germans! Time to not sweat your summers away.

3) When Christmas stuff is displayed in stores in early October. Give us Halloween for a minute

Christmas stuff has been out since the end of August this year

Here are some of annoyances:

Anybody who complains they don't like something because it is black & white

Most of "reality" TV (Probably because my wife likes a lot of it.)

Good movies that will only have PD releases. (Blackmail, Royal Wedding, DOA, although Detour is so cynical that a PD release works.)

Traffic

Kiddie games on animation DVDs.

One sided documentries (Moore is a talented filmmaker but he does need to show both sides.)

Political Ads

ichabod wrote:* People who have always done something better, no matter what story you are telling, they have always done it bigger and better

You know, that is something that has begun to annoy me most recently too. Yeah, I'm a jealous swine.

Anyway, more things that annoy me...

Charlotte Church

Gavin Heeson

Peter Andre

George W Bush

Condaleeza (or however you spell it) Rice

Clare Short

Politics in general

Rupert Murdoch

The Sun (blantantly racist British newspaper owned by above media mogal)

OTT DVD Collector's Editions (like the Matrix 10 DVD, Alien head disc holder set etc)

Prejudece in general

Cocky younger teenagers

Connexions (patronising careers advice institution in UK)

Patronising things in general

People who think that animation is just for kids

Celebrity magazines

Media to shock the masses

Bland pop music

Michael Eisner (ding dong, the witch is dead...thank god)

When women who have a nice shape claim that they are fat

People who don't like The Simpsons whatsoever

People who don't like Disney whatsoever

When people exclude you on purpose

When people shove opinions down your throat

Philosophers

People who like the sound of their own voice

Paris Hilton

ITV

The sheer amount of DIY programmes on daytime TV

When Disney overexploits things (read: Disney Fairies and Winnie the Pooh product lines!)

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (film, haven't and don't intend to read books)

Whew...what a long post!

christmas stuff on the stores on early september(yes, here start on september)

People that when driving never use the tail lights to inform if they will make a turn

People who leave their stuf on the gum when they aren´t using the exercise machine

people who park using two places

people who desn´t have bad breath but still talks like crazy

commercials

when I miss Jerry Springer´s show

Woohoo, my topic got bumped!

Anyways, there's a chance for repeats, but things that annoy/aggravate me to no end...

People who think daytime serials not produced in New York City do not merit the name "soap opera" and as such, actors on them are not soap opera actors, writers for them are not soap opera writers, and everything about them is not a soap opera unless it was in New York City. So if a New York soap suddenly moved production to California, it wouldn't be a soap opera anymore. (this was back in my soap opera days, there was really a freak who thought this and stuck by it).

People who hate soap operas and call them a cesspool for half-naked young actors and actresses who can't act anyways. If not for soaps, we wouldn't have celebrities like Christopher Reeve, Julianne Moore, James Earl Jones, Kevin Bacon, Meg Ryan...(there's a list I posted once on another thread, I don't wanna search for it, though.)

People who say Coupling is a rip-off of Friends when there are only a few tangible elements that are similar between them.

People who don't watch old movies because they're...old.

People who like colorizing black and white movies because they don't like movies in black and white.

People who know the dangers of smoking, do it anyway, and hate it when people try to stop them.

People who make the haughty and nearly choking "I can't believe you're smoking in my presence!" cough among smokers.

People who think homosexuality is a sin and are not willing to understand anything about it at all.

People who don't have open minds.

People who call all science fiction fans freaks or geeks or nerds, etc.

People who knock Disney animation but love Shrek.

People who like Pan and Scan because they don't care for the picture, just the story. Or they simply don't want "black bars" Invest in a widescreen tv and stop paying for half a movie!!!

People who think age is a factor in whether or not someone has good taste in movies and culture.

Old people who think young people are ignorant fools who know nothing of "back in the day" when in reality there ARE young people who appreciate "back in the day" more than they appreciate the present.

People who insist I lose weight when I'm fine with where I am (I lost 20 pounds in Florida, so I'm at my ideal weight right now, and it's STILL not enough for my Mom!)

People who still try and force me to eat vegetables even though I DO NOT LIKE THEM.

People who brag about their children without knowing that one of them is a heroin addict who goes out at night and does naughty things to the neighbour's daughter (okay, I don't know any of those people, but the mere fact that there are such people).

People who still think that anything less than white is inferior.

People who try and keep up with the Joneses even though they're both from the same level income and are so insecure in their prosperity that they feel they have to flaunt it at everyone else.

People who think they're ugly when they're really attractive.

People who think they're fat when they're bone-thin.

People who do not get out of my way when I'm walking.

People who assume I speak Spanish just because I look Spanish, so they start having a conversation with me asking how much is popcorn. (Ahh, back in the Florida days...)

People who get mad that we have to close a wagon at the end of the night when they had all day to get roasted almonds and waited until the last minute.

People who give me a $100 early in the day and ask if I can break it.

People who count their change in front of me even though I just counted it for them in front of them. Twice.

People who think that just because I did them a favor once, they can come back and I'll do it three more times.

People who use a sob story to get free stuff.

Friends doesn't have a fraction of the storytelling imagination and style and boldness that Coupling has. Sady, it looks like Sarah Alexander has been seduced by one of the USA sit-com factories. No more Coupling for now.

Which sort of brings me onto the first entry on my list:

1. People who become famous in TV series roles, and then think that the role is below them. I call this the 'Duchovney factor' and one of it's many subscribers is Sarah Michelle Geller (because, the live-action Scooby-Doo was so much better scripted, concived and meaningful than Buffy wasn't it Sarah?)

2. Songs that just repeat the chorus at the end and fade out. What's that about? You can't think of a proper ending so you just give up and take the easy way out?

3. The fact that Molly Shannon never had the vehicle to showcase her talent and she never became the 'superstar' (pun intended) she should have been.

4. The fact that I live on a ground floor flat, and as a result can never hear the rain on my roof at night, and let the sound lure me to sleep.

5. Jelly Belly jelly beans are so addictive, and yet cost far to much money.

6. Anyone who slags off classic Scooby Doo? Where Are You? or What's New Scooby Doo? moaning that they are always the same.

7. The crusty bits on Lasagna when some of the pasta isn't covered fully by the sauce and gets baked bone dry and rock hard.

8. The fact that Disney woefully ignores Peg Leg Pete. It's easier to get a freakin' Mickey Mouse dressed as a werewolf beanie than a Peg Leg Pete one!

9. The constant re-releases of the Evil Dead films. Curse you Anchor Bay (but a screaming Book of the Dead does sound smart)

10. Cars that splash you when it's raining.

Snobs, every single one of them, no matter what they're putting down.

1- People who bash/dislike The Lion King (I'll hit the person when I see them.)
2- People who dismiss The Lion King as part of the second Golden Era
EX- "I miss the days of Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin"
3- People who walk really slow and won't get out of my way (very true Escapay.) Especially in High School halls where I see these people stopping the "traffic" just to tie their shoes or say hi to someone else and give them a kiss.
4- People who talk behind my back, and never admit it when we're face to face.
5- When my white Air Forces get dirty.
6- Old English literature, homework, school work in general.
7- When I read many positive reviews about a movie, and by the time I buy it and watch it, I leave disappointed. **coughThe Incrediblescough**
8- People who act smart with me.
9- When I can't afford what I want.
10- My girl talking to other guys.
11- Ignorant people who think Mexicans is the only country where Spanish is the native Language.
12- Those who mess with Colombia

1. Slow people in the left lane (when driving 120 miles a day this gets even MORE on your nerves than it did before!!)

2. Construction projects that never seem to end

3. People who interrupt - esp those that interrupt and obviously weren't even listening to what you said.

4. People who think they can butt into conversations they are not involved in.

5. Fishers (ie those that fish for complements- say "I'm ugly" just so you say "no you're not")

6. I third the people that use all the time (many times for no reason at all).

7. Gwen Stefani

8. Older people that act like since they are old they know everything and ignore anything anyone else has to say.

9. Teenagers that act like they know everything.

10. People who don't understand those who like/enjoy Disney (and aren't 5 years old).

11. Jealous guys.

12. People who wear clothes that are obviously too small for them.

13. People who park in two spaces.

14. The current Disney Channel

15. Pimped out civics.

You'll have to hit me then, lolopimp. I really do not enjoy that movie, and don't understand what all the fuss is about anymore.
