Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine Oh My GOD, that's annoying!

Have you thought about a vespa, Cle. Not that expensive, good on gas, and you get to feel like you are riding around in Italy with over cologned young men professing love to you on every corner.

At least, thats what the ads show, lol.

Nothing compares to hearing constant complaints about on-the-job nepotism from an employee who owes her job to on-the-job nepotism. (Certainly she doesn't owe it to her stellar job performance, because she spends more time talking than working. On Friday she spent an hour fixing her hair at the workstation. I wish I were making this up.)

Anyone who ever decides they need storage in North Portland should make a point of not using the place where I'm currently employed. That's all I can say.

That song, "Come With Me Now". It's creepy, gimmicky, and the guys that did it obviously owe their career to their father's music-industry connections. I hated it from the first time I heard it and as its gotten overexposed in TV ads, etc, it's become unbearable.

This one is more my wife, but it's appropriate for this thread (and I think it's funny how much it bothers her) but that iphone (I think it's iphone) ad that has that girl singing the Breeders song "Gigantic." Just how she sings it and the fact that "gi-gAAAaaan-tic" is repeated over and over.

I always laugh when I see that, just because of what the song content is really about (It was a Pixies song BTW, before she left for the Breeders).

What are you trying to pull, Pov?

You know I'm not clicking that link.

I agree, Fanfie. I can't stand that song.

Thank you, BraJa. I'm so relieved I'm not alone here at LW in my dislike of that bloody song.

The people at the park and ride lot where I catch the transit bus to work just can't figure out how to form a line. The first people sit about ten feet apart, then everyone starts cramming together then people start going directly to the 10 feet gaps , cutting in line. I have had a hard time not taking it on myself to become the line boss. It just aggravates me so so much. I know that's kind of petty but there you go.

When I get on the train in the morning, I'm always about 30 seconds ahead of the train coming in (in a rushed sort of way).

I stand in the same spot on the platform every day, as I know that's where the train doors will be. It's a long platform, and there are people standing at different depths and spaced out all over it. There are no queues, or even suggestions of queues. If there were, I'd dutifully take my place in it.

So, although I'm far from being first, I'm pretty much always going to get one of the last seats on the train.

Now, if I was someone else seeing that every day... well, I'd probably make sure I was standing where the doors were going to stop. But it might be annoying.

Sometimes the people on the train platforms here don't even wait for passengers to disembark before rushing in. One time, a girl trying to get off was pulled back in onto the train and had to get off at the next station.

Train -- the band, not the mode of transportation -- annoys the hell out of me. There's something eminently punchable about their lead singer.

I feel the same way about Adam Levine

I don't hate Adam Levine as much as I hate Pat Monahan, but I think Levine's parakeet voice is at least equally annoying.

Pat Monahan has a similar air to Adam Levine, IMO. I can't quite put a finger on it. But it's Adam Levine whom I dislike more.

Bruno Mars is another celebrity I dislike. All his songs seem to be about sex, and while the melodies are great the lyrics are terrible, lowbrow and not subtle at all. He is so not a poet.

Now about public transpo...

You have buses and public utility vehicles stopping in the middle lane to pick up or drop off passengers; clogging up the rightmost lane so vehicles behind can't turn right even if we are allowed to; stupid laws that prevent us from bringing our vehicles out on one day of the week based on our license plate numbers; traffic enforcers who pull us over for not having license plates when the government hasn't released said license plates yet; and a train that crashed a few months ago and has lost power several times since.
