Topic: It Amuses Me....

It amuses me when someone posts "Why doesn't anybody like me?" in a brand new thread 47 times a day. Hey, hun, I think you just answered your own question.

It amuses me when someone posts "I'm bored." Stop whining and get up off your ass and do something. We're not your own personal entertainment committee. At least, I never got that memo.

It amuses me when someone posts "I'm the greatest thing since snow tires!" and can't spell simple words like "know." I know, I know, English and grammar snob. So sue me.

It amuses me to see all the talk about alcohol. I have never seen so many drunks in one place in my life. If you're that intent on killing yourself, a gun is a lot faster. Let's allocate our resources more productively, huh?

It amuses me when the know-it-alls in certain forums start pontificating about things they have no knowledge of. One person posted "Evolution can't be true, if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" Anybody with a third-grade understanding of the process knows that an evolved form will not necessarily replace the earlier form, unless they are in direct competition for food or territory or something. I mean, this is basic stuff. I used to think freedom of speech was a good idea, but maybe morons should be given a "shut the hell up" certificate. If you don't have the first clue about the topic, maybe it's better to keep quiet and not put yourself out there as a cretin.

It amuses me when people post "Why doesn't anyone answer my e-mails?" because I went through that myself, with the locals here, and I quit wasting my time. And I'm not shy about saying so. But now it looks like a lot of other people are having the same problems with their own locals, as well. I can sympathize. I just wound up saying "screw them" and stopped making the attempt. The farther-away people like me, so I'll just talk to them.

It amuses me when people hijack a thread and someone gets all pissed off about it. I mean, so what? It's a thread on a website. If it means that much to you, start another one. You know, the forums are like big conversations, where people drift in and out all the time; and sometimes the topic shifts. It's no different from real life, except in real life, people aren't walking around hiding behind pictures of cats and motorcycles and butt shots clipped from magazines.

And that's another thing: Who CARES if someone wants to use a picture that's not them? Not everybody is comfortable with being right up front out in the open with their real pic, and they have the right not to have to do that. If you think it's deceptive or something, fine, you don't have to write to that person, but you might just find him/her to be pretty impressive if you read their posts. Besides, if someone is using cat pictures, that tells you something about them, they probably like cats. For me, that's an automatic plus, because I love animals. So don't go dismissing a picture just because it isn't the person. The fact that they chose that picture, whatever it is, says something about them. You just have to know how to read it.

It amuses me when some guy makes his first post, and he says "This site doesn't work, I've been ripped off!" when he signed up 3 days ago and hasn't received 1000 e-mails from horny women yet. And how do you get ripped off on a free site, anyway? Nothing says "infantile" like a baseless tantrum from an idiot who never learned the concept of "deferred gratification."

It amuses me when people complain that "The joke I just read yesterday was already posted a few weeks back." Guess what? Other people joined the site after you did, they probably never saw that joke the last time, so this will be their first time getting to see it. So we're supposed to construct all the posts around what YOU have or have not seen before? That kind of self-centeredness and arrogance is laughable, but oh so prevalent. It's that old-timer entitlement mentality, still up and running here (albeit not as badly as it was 6 months ago).

All in all, a very amusing place to be....

OK, it was 4 -- I like to think of it as "artistic license." Or "really bad math," maybe.

I LOLed... laugh laugh laugh great post. Seriously though what's so wrong with looking at someone's profile more than once? I mean if I'm interested in the person after I look at their profile, I'll write a message, then I may look again a couple times. Is that really so wrong? lol

Hey, Puff -- weird stuff happening lately -- someone pops up again after 2 years, makes me think -- even the llamas are all messed up -- it's like Christmas on Neptune all over again....

By the way, the original post was actually something from my profile -- a certain person persuaded me to post it, I will not name any names but she knows who she is....

:wink:

haha, it happens.. Is it perverted to look at a good lookin girls picture more then once? I don't think so. They might.. but who cares right? They posted the picture. To look at.

No, they're only supposed to LOOK at pictures of cats and motorcycles and butt pictures clipped from magazines. I'm pretty sure that's in the FAQ somewhere.

Exactly... I mean yeah, maybe it may seem "stalkerish" to look repeatedly, but hey, if you're hot you're hot, pics are there to look at for a reason. Like the saying goes, "Why don't you take a pic, it'll last longer!" laugh laugh laugh laugh

But did you ever get one of those people who comes back and looks EVERY DAY but never says anything? I wonder about that. I mean, I change my profile pretty often, so I can understand if someone is interested enough to see if there's anything new, fine, but why not at least make a comment or tell me to go to hell or something?

And it's ALWAYS people who have never posted in the forums. So I wonder what that's about.

But I've heard from other people who also get the every day lookers, and these are people who NEVER change their profiles --it's like, what, are you trying to make up your mind or something?

what really gets me is that they are on in the MIDDLE of the night, and they say they want to talk, but hey, they restrict that to a certain age range, within 50 miles of where they are, and has to be good looking, has to be the opposite sex.

And by the time they filter out all the "unwanteds" they are left with only "diddly" or "nada"
