Everything. Oh, specifics. Right. Ok - The "European Podcast Awards" ... this is like the fucking cat Oscars. Except cat's dont then go vote grubbing online. The "Vote for us" ones are bad but the "Hey, we dont care. It's all rubbish. But if you DO wanna vote for us..." ones really get up my arse. Probably due to the types of people I have on twitter/facebook but already seen or been sent a half dozen of these today. Oh, and the @davidcameron thing on twitter is already old and he's only been on a day or two. Especially the re-wording his posts and retweeting them. I wouldnt mind but they arent even funny

The Borg Collective AKA The Labour loonies, who believe we should all be clones like them. Even though there will always be the elite in that Evil Empire

If I didnt know you better John I'd say you were TRYING to spark people off there mate Todays annoyance. There is someone in X-Factor callled Rylan. I dont watch X-Factor. I've NEVER watched X-Factor. But still I have to come into work every day and hear people gossiping about it LIKE IT FUCKING MATTERS. The fact I know one of the bastard nobody's names really pisses me off. Idiots, why cant they spend their time discussing more mature and important things... like if they're setting Dolman up to take over from Dredd and who the villain will be in the next SPider-Man film

You know with a name like that (well I say name???) I really thought you meant the other X-Factor, the cool one with mutants and Pete David and stuff that it would be okay to talk about.
Rylan sounds like someone out of Thundercats or summit.
Ohh Modify buttons that stay I like it... anyway also did you mean that extra 'l' in "callled by way of pointing out he's really called Ryan but is a bit to scared to admit it?

Nah, I meant I was angrily typing through the medium of headbutting the keyboard
It's effective but slightly less accurate

Hearing people in work talking excitedly about picking up Cheryl Cole's autobiography

Kickstarter. It generally gets up my arse anyway as I've done a small press comic. I know you can get a run of 50 or so for £100 odd and also know that if you shift more than that at a con as a small press nobody you're doing well.
So the "I need $40,000 for my comic" bullshit is just that... bullshit. You'll often find this includes money to pay for creators to go to cons and stay in hotels etc. It doesn't take that much. You do a small run, the money from that pays for the next one.
BUT what prompted this post is I got one yesterday, and I do get LOTS of these, from a fucking dog! Yup, someone has done a comic about their dog but is pretending its the dog asking for publishing money. I know... adorable, right? And every time someone donates theres a "Thank you uncle billy from shadow the puppy... ruf ruf!".
makes me all chainsaw-y

Gaming communities
Used to be you could go on a game (mainly thinking mmos) and it would have that cool old style atmosphere of people who smoked too much pot and played too much D&D. I.e people were cool, nice, liked to chat and basically werent complete and total selfish fuckfaces.
You go on games these days and the complaining is unreal (especially forums). Also the level of entitlement is ridiculous to go with it. People actually think that if they do 2 seconds worth of gameplay the devs MUST give them what they want cos they deserve it.
Also people somewhere along the line have forgotten that people actually when it boils down to it play for fun. Sadly for the majority of people fun = mashing people faces into the ground, making them have as unpleasant a time as possible and then laughing in their faces and calling them noobs and telling them to learn to play (THE most hateful phrase in gaming)
Then you get to the group that piss me off the most. The Elitists. These are the fucktards who wouldnt spit on you to put you out if you were on fire just cos your gear isnt quite upto scratch. Of course they were born in the top set, didnt have to work their way up at all. Also refusing to let you join raids or parties if your gear doesnt meet their impeccable standards. Again ofc no one helped them get where they were.
The secret of course is to find a good guild where people are nice and friendly with a good atmosphere but these are like golddust and sometimes you have to go through so much shit to get there its untrue.

THIS froma dumb f**k on a forum....
In my office last week I was told by another employee that "Obama isn't American". I immediately took that as a racist remark and nearly stormed out of the front door of the office (and quit my job) before, at my prompting, my boss told that employee to apologize and he did.
I'm still not happy. I've only spoken to that senior employee two or three times since and for very short periods of time.
aaaaand my response.....
I would have told you to take your need for an apology and shove it up where the sun don't shine....and take your boss with it. How is saying 'Obama isn't American' racist?
Stupid, yes...racist no.
Why didn't you ask them what they meant instead of knee-jerk got my fweewings hurt and storm out the office like a baby throwing their binky out of their buggy?
Some people are tards!!!!

You do a small run, the money from that pays for the next one. This. FULLY THIS. I fucking hate Kickstarter. I hate the self-righteous sods who think they're project is WORTH three times more than it would actually cost to print it, the endless pimping and the shits who actually bloody GET the money. Here's my personal experience: I did an illustration for a short story book. It was self published - I did it, I thought no more of it. THEN THE PIMPING BEGAN.All contributors got an e-mail every other day "we're now at $500!!!! Please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell your friends so we can reach our $6000 target!" This was for a black and white, 70 page short story book. Six thousand dollars. After the tenth e-mail in a fortnight I wrote to him - "please don't send me these e-mails, good luck with your campaign but I'm not interested in it's progress". He was polite and said he'd unsubscribed me and I heard nowt for a while. UNTIL the "final push" when he was screaming, clawing, BEGGING, every cent MUST be gathered, everyone MUST get on board. This evangelical mission to FUND his vision. IT NEEDS SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS IT NEEDS IT. The worst aspect of this, is that it had already made a thousand more than it's target... and he wanted more. That's when I re-routed everything from his address to my junk folder and got very very bitter. A quarter of that money would fund my small press exploits for a year... but who wants to beg for money and come across a total cockweasel?

Idiots with kids.
Went for a pub carvery thing with Iz and my folks earlier. Its the usual deal where you queue up, the guy serves you your choice of turkey or beef or whatever then you help yourself to veggies.
Couple ahead of us with two little girls and were letting them do it themselves. Lots of "Its carrots. You like carrots. Have carrots" followed by awkward picking out of carrots one at a time. Then "Whats that?" "Its suede... you like suede dont you? Does she like suede?" bullshit.
And through it they're looking back at everyone queueing behind them with that "kids... arent they just adorable?" smile.
All the time I'm looking at the knife the guy is using to cut the turkey and trying to jedi mind trick it across the counter.
Seriously, LEAVE THEM AT THE TABLE AND BRING THEM BACK STUFF! Save the fucking pantomime. Nobody else cares.
...if you hadn't guessed, I dont have kids

When you buy a dvd boxset of a series and they dont put ANY indication of episodes other than just giving them a number
Watched the Big Bang Theory series 1 and had to keep checking synopsis online to see which one we'd gotten up to. Seeing as they name each episode why cant they put that in the menu to at least give you a frigging clue?!?
