Lame Things

[Temotei]

What do you think is lame? :smallamused:

Things topping my list:

The need to go to the bathroom
Fatigue/exhaustion; the need to sleep
Hunger
Thirst


Feel free to be serious or humorous, to use other parts of the board as examples, etc. Have fun.

[Tanaric]

Insomnia. It's 4:17, and I can't sleep. :smallsigh:

Tomorrow is going to royally suck.

The kind of headache that feels like your eyes are being poked out from behind (I.E, the kind of headache I have right now D:) are rather lame.

Also, having to wait for my delishus strawberry coulis cheesecake to thaw. 'Tis most lame.

What's lame? Let's see...being on a diet while also having to work out 3-4 hours a day to lose weight. :smallmad: Eating has become yet another a chore now.

The kind of headache that feels like your eyes are being poked out from behind (I.E, the kind of headache I have right now D:) are rather lame.

Also, having to wait for my delishus strawberry coulis cheesecake to thaw. 'Tis most lame.
The kind of headache where it feels like your ears are being pierced by small long rectangular objects while being ripped apart, when actually the main focus of your pain goes to your temples which are being assaulted a thousand times over with tiny spikes/needles and come out the other temple.
Then the back of the head is also hurting but more in a kind of blunt trauma sort of way, like it's being crushed/hit with a baseball bat or something.

And oh yeah, then there's the pain from the eyes being poked out while they feel like they're going to implode.

Yeah, that kind of headache((I.E, the kind of headache I have right now D:) is rather lame.

Btw, that's with the painkillers.

Edit: Wait, the ears now feel like while being pierced by long rectangular objects, they're also being pulled out y two of them in each ear.
Wooo.

-Having a really lame computer, so it takes like 2 mins to load a webpage
-And a broken mouse, so the cursor keeps disappearing and appearing again on it´s own.
- not being able to properly characterise a (TVtropes alert!) tsundere/oranyan (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tsundere) for a Bard´s backtory.
-Being ditched by one´s gaming circle, because you´re not cool enough. Whilist the what the cool kids are doing is: 1)Playing WOW and 2)talking about either it or a bunch of really stupid things, all the freaking time. or 3) going to McDonald´s all the time. Seriously, that´s all they do.:smallsigh:
-Procrastinating.
-People who fire a boatload of fireworks all day long.
-Being the only one who can watch a really awesome anime because nobody else has the english skills to understand it , and its not dubbed. (And we´re 4th grade in high school. Seriously, what is so difficult about English of a mahou shojo series?!)
-Not being able to think of more lame things.

Hmm...lame things...

Cyclists who wear the jerseys of a professional racing team. It's just stupid when some middle aged, slightly overweight bloke tries to pull off riding with an Astana kit...come on, we all know you're not a pro, so don't even try...even worse is when people wear the special Tour clothing, like the 'king of the mountain' jersey...seriously?

Leading somebody on. LAME! Also: intentionally delaying your responses to texts, or ignoring them altogether.

Cyclists who don't know how to ride a bike well (read:hipsters). It's so annoying.

SUVs driven by suburban housewives who don't need a V8 engine and a 4-wheel drive.

People who own high-end, technical outdoor gear for no reason. Like the person who's overweight and not outdoorsy who sports a Gregory pack, Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag, and La Sportiva boots...ugh, maybe that's just jealousy more than lameness...

[Rutskarn]

Hipster cynics, people who are excessively snobbish about music, logical fallacies.

Cynicism is a good thing. There's nothing wrong with stripping the romanticism and needless optimism from a worldview and evaluating it based entirely on facts. In my opinion, this leads to a better life for everyone involved. But then there's those people who're cynical because they like the idea of being cynical. They immediately reject society, politics, philosophy, and the worth of humankind because they like the idea of being above it all, of being a smugly enlightened surveyor of a morally and intellectually bankrupt race. These people need a reality check and a halfbrick to the face.

If someone tells you their favorite band is, say, BrokenCYDe, it's easy to immediately dismiss them. I mean, it sucks, right? That's just the end of it. If you like it, you have no taste. Except there's no accounting for taste, is there? There's no universal built-in gauge of how good music is. The only way we have of judging it is to listen to it and decide if we like it or not. If someone likes it, to them, it is good music. End of story. Always remember that no matter what your favorite band is, somebody will immediately think less of you for liking it. And remind yourself: you don't want to be that guy.

Argumentation and debate are the best ways we have of a.) getting to the root of an issue and b.) spreading ideas to the masses. Public discourse is the stream from which most people get their conception of knowledge. If you use a logical fallacy, you're doing no less than pissing straight into that stream, polluting it with impurities of reason that can make a person believe straight horse puckey.

[RandomNPC]

people who start telling you about this neat book they picked up, and go on to describe a self help book disguised as a thinly veild book of advice, then go on to sugest you read it.

[Temotei]

Here's another: People who complain constantly. Not those that just complain often. Those that complain all the time. That's all they do in conversation. It's really annoying, and I feel like they have nothing else to talk about with me, which makes me think about things...like why they're talking to me about their problems if that's all they can think of talking about with me. I'd like to have a happy conversation every once in a while. :smallannoyed:

And another: Being asked "Well have you ever tried it?" I hate that. Yes, I've tried it. It sucked. I'm not trying it again. Don't ask. Same goes for people who, when you say you don't like tomatoes, ask "Do you like ketchup?" Or some similar things.

Edition wars.

[Setra]

Same goes for people who, when you say you don't like tomatoes, ask "Do you like ketchup?"

On a related note, people who can't seem to understand that it's possible to like ketchup without liking tomatoes.

Being asked "Well have you ever tried it?"
In the defense of the people asking, MANY people will bash things before trying it (or Reading/Watching/Playing it in the case of media).

Especially peanut butter and banana sandwiches (They're good! Honest!)

That's basically what I meant by the question, although it was so lightly implied that I can see the confusion that would go on there. :smallredface:

True that they will. I meant for foods, but I didn't specify it.

Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are delicious. So are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and peanut butter and honey sandwiches. Which brings me to another lame thing: I can't eat peanuts because my brother is deathly allergic to them.

Huh. My phone says it's out of batteries, but refuses to charge.

[Setra]

Reading scathing reviews of something you really liked and vice versa.
This, but also just reading people saying "Something you like sucks" and giving no reason. Though that's more of a pet peeve of mine, since to me it usually implies they don't like the game but can't list why, so they just say it sucks... despite the fact this usually applies to things many people like.

And while it's true many people can be wrong about something, it's rather hard for people to be wrong about liking something.

Three bulging tyres, threatening to explode, one tyre that pretty much DID explode, and one that went out this morning. On my way in to work. In sub-zero temperatures. Making me 3 hours late for work because I had to wait for a tow-truck to get me to a garage where they could replace the tyre.

That's definitely true, I've seen people miss the entire point of things and go on a rant about why it sucked, only for them to be told they're wrong (The usual response is "Well it still sucks"). I think I've done it before but I can't be sure, I don't really remember having gotten things wrong before but my memory may be biased.

Hey, I say that things are gay or suck **** often when they're lame, but at the same time I'm just as likely to say that it's so bad that it chews badger nipples or has it's head shoved so far up a rhino it's almost landed on Neptune. I just like cussing in as many different was as possible, so that I don't wind up declaring that everything '****ing sucks' and thus creating a swear-monotony or 'sweartonomy'.

Ah yes, I suppose that what you've described is perfectly understandable. Although on the other hand, 'maggot' often worms his way into my constant expletive production line, it's just that I insult pretty much every group on earth that I can think of a fitting curse for and then hurl these insults at people who I know won't be offended by it, because they appreciate that it's just a random thing being said for random reasons ...

Anyway, all I mean is that no offence was ever meant by I

The fact that American "jelly" is apparently some sort of cheap jam with all the fruit and potential nutrition squeezed out of it just makes it worse.

Jelly (at least in my region) is made from fruit juice while jam is made from the whole fruit. Grape jelly is about the only kind I ever use (and that's because it's home made), it's jam all the way for me otherwise.

Gelatin desserts have been so strongly associated with the Jell-O brand here that it's become a generic term for them (much like Kleenex, Band-aid, and Aspirin).


To the best of my knowledge, American "pudding" is basically either a sort of mousse or similar dessert, or the yoghurty thing like YoGo, which, although tasty, is not a pudding.

Pudding (in a general sense) is a creamy dessert made from milk, sugar, and something to thicken it (like cornstarch). You can still find things like bread pudding around, though, it's just the word "pudding" by itself that's used differently.

Edit - on topic: people who use the word "literally" in a figurative manner.

Here's something incredibly lame for you: Hearing how great something is or thinking something is going to be really great and then it's just lame. That makes it doubly lame.

For instance, a lot of people had suggested I see No Country for Old Men. "Oh, ever seen No Country for Old Men? Now that's a really great movie."

Okay, so I finally manage to DVR it and watch it. I'm getting into it. This assassin guy is pretty cool! The guy with the money (Josh Brolin) looks a lot like the lovechild of Kurt Russel and Burt Reynolds! Ooh, I wonder how this is going to end!

Here's a little spoiler for you: It doesn't. The climax of the movie is fast approaching, and instead the credits roll. Please tell me the book doesn't end this way, too.

It's a lot like the Sopranos. I didn't like the show at first but my wife loved it. Then I started watching more episodes with her and really caring about the characters. It got to the point where I was actually stoked about the finale. For those of you who haven't seen it, here is how that episode ended:

Sheriff of Moddingham: It's low on my list but relevant. I think concetrated hate/rant/lameness threads are pretty lame. Possibly lame enough to be specifically added as an inappropriate topic in the next rule update; we'll see.

Please don't make concentrated hate threads. They always take a turn for the worse.
