"Various Things That **** You Off" rolling thread

[JR]

All sorts of ****, but, lately, people who snap bubble gum or talk on their toy phones at nicer restaurants.

Went to Subway today for lunch.

Young punk in front of me on his phone. You know the guy who talks REALLY LOUDLY just to let everyone know how busy and important he is. Makes me laugh every time.

"You're a ****in' sales rep for Lays Potato Chips. Get over yourself"

Guy behind the counter keeps asking "Cheese on that?" "Tomato and lettuce?". Guy on the phone ignores him then kinda barks at the guy, "Yeah, yeah, hold on". Goes back to his phone conversation for about 10 more seconds then finallyh answers him. I thought the counter guy was gonna shove the sub right in his face.

People like that should have their head stuffed in a vat of jalapenos.

Oh, and in general people who treat service people in restaurants or hotels like they're the hired help are right at the top of my ****list.

Good call, JR.

Add to that list:

People who don't tip.

People who tip ****ty because they didn't like the food.

Oh, and any thread dominated by JDV. Seriously. Enough all ready.

Ex-owners of the Texas Rangers.
Minutemen.
Calvin pissing on things stickers.
Anyone who doesn't act, think and talk like me.

Funny you mention that. When I went to my parents' for Christmas, my dad told me he wanted to go get a **** on Chevy sticker.

Apparently, his buddy's chevy was fine up until like 75K, when the transmission blew out (2900) and the back end (not sure what on it) gave out.

He then bought a Ford.

So to razz his buddy a little, he wanted to get him one of those annoying pieces of **** for his Ford.

Whatever.

I tend to avoid the threads which interest me very little, so this JDV guy has pretty much been an unknown to me. However, I did see the spat with spup (who in my book is pretty cool) in that locked thread.

In 100 words or less, what's the deal with this JDV? Whatever.

 

[zeke12]

He sucks.

He doesn't think so.

People speak truth to insanity.

Whatever.

This could get interesting.

 

[alleyallen]

I guess the reasons why I'm asking are:

1) I've never heard of John D. Villareal, but considering I think competitive powerlifting is silly, it's not surprising JDV is an unknown to many.

2) I thought the days of standing in front of others and claiming that not only does "kicking ass rock, but so does banging chicks" ended when most of us were in junior high. The fact that this guy is making this claim to fame makes me laugh and create a mental image of this guy going up to a woman and saying, "Baby, I can lift you, your car and your purse all at once," only to get a knee to his tiny little cocktail weenie of a "member".

 

[JR]

In 100 words or less, what's the deal with this JDV? Whatever.

"JDV" AND "100 words or less" are mutually exclusive.

To quote a colleague of mine about another one, "Ask Frank for a piece of thread and he'll knit you a sweater".

I like JDV. He's the best unintentional comedy around.

Boys
Scrawny girls
People who don't go when the light turns green
People who call the paper wondering why X sporting event isn't on TV
Roger Federer keeping Andy Roddick (and Marat Safin) from winning more slams.

Girls.
Boys who wear girls pants.
People who don't speed up when the light turns yellow.
People who call any media outlet to complain about something I have no control over.
Serena Williams for learning how to play tennis again and keeping all the hot photos of Sharapova outta the papers.

My cable company and TiVo.

My cable company - Knology - wants to charge me $168 a month if I want to do DVR. It requires that I bundle everything, meaning I'd have to get digital cable, my phone service (with all the added stuff) and my cable modem just to get the DVR for that wonderfully low price. **** 'em.

As for TiVo, I'm not paying $20 a month for a year so I can watch only a few shows.

That's what's pissing me off right now.

Guys at the bar who act like they are still at that high school house party, counting how much they had to drink, asking everyone else around them how much they've had and ridiculing everyone who hasn't kept up.

Since I never went to a high school house party and I like to count things, do I still fall under this umbrella? I don't necessarily count the beers other people have had, but I have been accused of being a little too preoccupied with counting how many beers I've consumed.

I just want to say thanks to those who told me about the Firefox web browser. I'm using it right now (just got it) and so far, so good. It is definitely an improvement from IE, and I haven't had one por...um... graphics-related problem yet. :)

Thanks everyone that helped me out with that, including the links. :)

yes! that's so annoying. no one over the age of 22 should feel the need to constantly discuss how much they've had to drink. i mean it's one thing if it comes up in conversation once or twice over a five- or six-hour evening but otherwise move on to bigger and better topics of conversation.

Amen. Be a little more original.
