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**
I'm totally with #1 and #2. I mean there's so much LK bashing that it gets kinda annoying. I mean if you listened to some of the things said on UD you'd think the movie was a flop.

As for #7 I would agree with you 100% if you said Finding Nemo instead! :wink:

Here are some other things I find annoying:

Will Ferrell

Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and several parts of Clones.

The Eisner Channel

When my Mom says, "Please help me find something" and I say sure do you know where it might be and then she says "oh just look for it!" CAN YOU AT LEAST GIVE ME A HINT!!!

When people consider Ardman, Dreamworks!

The Wedding Crashers

RAVEN!!! (She likes Magic Mountain better than "here at Disney World" when she was at California Adventure!)

California Adventure

Jefferey Katzenberg

People saying, "I Love Lucy" is the greatest show only because for the fact that it's one of the first shows.

Return of the King winning 11 Oscars because it was "the end of a cinematic journey".

I hope I'm not missing anything. :wink:

People ACTUALLY say that? Now don't get me wrong, I love "I Love Lucy", more so than I love Desperate Housewives, The Golden Girls, and Coupling. But I wouldn't call it THE GREATEST SHOW. One of, but not THE.

Anyway, some more things that aggrave and annoy me to no end...

The Lion King. I'm not trying to bash it or anything, but it was great when I first saw it, however to me it just doesn't age well and comes off as overrated, almost as if it were the snob of Disney Animated Classics.

Might open a can of worms here, but I really could not stand it back in my soap opera messageboard days when a lot of people would clamor together saying, "PUT A GAY CHARACTER ON THIS SOAP!" or "TURN THIS CHARACTER GAY!" While I understand that they want to be represented in the genre, most of them come off as, "I wanna see this person gay so he can get it on with this person...". It just irks me that they'd almost always start a thread about it like once a week.

Lifetime Television Network's schedule. Whatever happened to Intimate Portrait? And who cares about Casper Van Diem's marriage to Catherine Oxenberg? Or Lisa Rinna redoing someone's house? Or old ladies coming to clean up a messy home?

Reality TV is such a junkyard, and yet people call soaps a cesspool of half-naked bad actors and actresses.

I hate how AMC moved from American Movie Classics to whatever it is they are now. Back in the day, I was so glad to have AMC and TCM, now I'm just grateful TCM still shows movies in OAR.

Before I used to find Robert Osburn annoying, but now he's like Walt Disney, hosting the show before it comes on. So I can take him off my annoying list.

Commentaries on DVDs where the person talking would have long stretches of silence because he/she doesn't know what to talk about. Or they're just repeating what's seen on the screen (In probably a little less than half of the Bringing Up Baby commentary, Peter Bogdonavich is simply repeating lines saying, "A classic!" or "Here it is again!" or he'd just laugh and go "That was so funny")

People who throw popcorn at the screen in theaters.

People who get up and walk around every 5 minutes in theaters.

People who sit next to me in theaters. This is why I bring a jacket, so I can lay it on the seat next to me, as if I were saving it. And the other seat would have my hat.

Trust me, people don't bite :lol: What if the entire theatre were except for the seats with your hat and coat, and two people come in. If they ask you for the seats, will you be kind enough and let them sit down instead of them having to sit on the floor?

I just don't like strangers sitting next to me. Usually when I go to the theater with friends, I don't mind people next to me, but if I ever went alone, I'd rather have both seats next to me to be empty. It's a personal space thing, lol. If the entire theatre were filled and there was an empty seat next to me, yeah, I'll let them have it. After they sign a piece of paper saying they won't move and won't make any noise during the entire movie, lest they want my fist in their face, :lol:

I could fill so much space with things that annoy me, but I won't, because then people assume I am a negative person, which annoys me, because I am not. But for a short list:

When I am at work and people park there car all the way across the parking lot (when there are plenty of open spaces right in front of the door), walk across the entire lot, then open the door just enough to lean in and through a movie return at the counter. Is it really that hard to walk 2 more feet and completely open a door? you just walked across a parking lot. Jerks.

When I tell people, well in advance, that I don't like something, and won't do it, and then they get mad at me when I don't do it.

People who hate widescreen, especially those who work in a video store and hate it.

Having OCD and constantly having to check things, touch things, and redo things even though I know they are fine. Especially when I have to come back into the house after leaving for something that I know is totally insignificant, or it taking 5 minutes to set my alarm everynight when it should take a second.

When people do drugs and spend a lot of money on it, also cigarettes. I just don't get it, or how they afford it.

Large groups of people.

Drunk people at parties who touch me when I have no idea who they are.

People who assume that becuase I am small it is ok to lift me up.

People in general. What a bunch of creepy creeps.

Republicans and their ideas.

Organs that look totally awesome and sound great by themselves, but are out of tune with everything else and can't be tuned. Also when said organs have keys that don't work or have a pause because not enough is getting through.

When people don't take care of their cds and dvds and just leave them lying around everywhere out of their cases.

When I try to make a quick list of annoying things and then drag on way longer than I meant to, and covering only a few things that annoy me amongst many.

I have to say NASCAR is not a sport, but not because all you do is go around in a circle, all sports do that. But said sport, e.g. baseball, football, soccer, basketball, etc., actually REQUIRE athletic ability. There is nothing athletic stimulating about going 180 mph in a car on a big track, that you have to LITTERALLY crawl into. Now I enjoy watching NASCAR, but it annoys me to no end when people call it a sport when it's not.

My Sister-in laws dad is now her second mom. I don't have any problems with Robert, I mean Roberta. I have also seen some tansvestites that are very pretty especially if they get that Adam's Apple removed, If I remember right there was a top model a few years back that had the operation done before she became famous.

I hate this too, But I dont get to go to often by myself, but when I do I prefer not having to sit next to someone I dont know. But If the theater is full I understand someone may next to sit there. I also hate when someone sits right in front of you when the place is not full, or when they wont shut up

-People who try and analyse my life and give me their 'two cents' when they don't know me at all.

-People who pretend to be my friend but really hate me.

-People who swear way too much (unless they just hit themselves with a hammer).

-People who believe they know something that is a fact when it isn't but you can't change their mind.

-People who think all animation is kiddie stuff.

-People who trash my friends.

-People on buses that don't move off their seat for pregnant women, elderly people who can't stand and that sort of thing.

-When food goes bad.

-People who don't recycle.

-Myself

For everyone who hates that person who walks slow in front of them I must say they don't want to meet me. I walk at a normal pace and sometimes people say I walk too fast but when I'm in a depressed mood I walk really slow and blocking people and annoying them cheers me up. :lol: (yes I can be a jerk at times!) ...oh and I don't do it to normal people, just usually people who appear to be jerks themselves. :)

People who drive SUVs and speed on the freeway...on a rainy day.

I mean, the rain can stop, but when you're behind a big truck or SUV, it seems like it's still raining! :( Stupid small corolla. :p

And that's my rant for today because it was raining in the city known as "Sun Diego."

Things that annoy me when I'm at work(Sam's Club)
By Zoltack

Thing the first: I just hate when people buy a s*it load of goeceries then they're like "can I have a box?" and not even say please. The thing about boxes is they take up space so I some times I cant load everything in one cart.

2. I hate when people don't read the freaking signs. We have this thing where you have to buy 2 bags for Frito Lay chips, bagels or english muffins. It says right on the sign "MUST BY TWO" and people only bring up one. Then they're like "Oh, I didn't see any sign." "The sign didn't say that." "They wern't in packs just singles." READ THE F*CKING SIGNS PEOPLE!!! :lol: (I'm laughing out of frustration) One of these days I'm gonna lose it and say that.

3. We only take Discover for credit. It is pretty stupid but the reason why we do it is because we sell Discover cards. So I hate it when people come into my line and they get all pissed at me because I told them we only accept Discover. It's not my fault we do that! :roll: I'm not the one who came up with that idea. I had this one guy get real pissed off at me because of that and he couldn't pay for his order. It's like "what do you want me to do about it? You should of brought you damn check book!" And once again there are signs that people don't read telling them we only accept Discover credit.

4. KID's. Keep your kids under control when you freaking shop! I had this one kid come up to my register when I was in the middle of an order and he turns my computer off and it took like 30 minutes to reboot!!! And then this one kid (I actually thought this was cute though) come up behind me and hug my leg. I was like "Hi there." Then some kids pound on my keyboard and mess up the order. I'm not blaming the kids I'm blaming the parents. Keep your kids under control. Dissipline. DISSIPLINE!!!

Well I think I'm done bashing where I work now. If I got more stuff, you can bet I'll be back. :)

Worse yet, when people still use the urinal even though it hasn't flushed, so there's a big mix of urine that smells really bad.
