sacramentalistThings the Internet hates, but I'm indifferent to
Family Stickers
Why the hate? Her minivan isn't a WW2 with kills stamped on the fuselage. Someone loves his kids, and his cats and dog. And why do you hate on minivans? Sometimes you have to move people around. The Caravan saved my dad's career. Complain about SUV's. I mean, SUV's are minivans for people who have money to throw away, and are too embarrassed to they need a minivan. Grow up.
Hash tags in Facebook. People saying "LOL" in real life
People cut-paste on twitter and Facebook. Deal with it. Language is designed by such colloquial. If you're so hateful, why are you even on Facebook? Hashtags are the least of the things you should be pissy about.
Titanic. Twilight. Justin Bieber
Titanic was an epic. You can argue the love story was simple, but it was a massive project and very impressive. Plus, the string quartet and old people made me cry.
As for Twilight and Justin Bieber. Clearly you are more sophisticated than a 13 year old girl. So are you just going to complain until 13 year olds are cool again? You're going to get old before you grow up.
Emoticons
:P

Not that this is the most *likely* scenario...

Date: 2012-11-20 08:03 pm (UTC)I used to often drive behind a large family vehicle that had the sticker and also the bumper stickers for all the kids' schools. Thing is, the family sticker also had the kids and pets NAMES on them.
I'd be sitting in traffic every time I saw them, thinking, "Don't you people watch Oprah?" :P

Date: 2012-11-20 10:00 pm (UTC)I wouldn't go so far to say I hate them, but they do offend my precious sensibilities. I guess I just wish that if people were going to make such a public statement, that they would be more clever about it.
Or maybe I'm just a snob.

Date: 2012-11-20 08:30 pm (UTC)I get why people are annoyed by it... not everyone wants to hear about Little Billy or Suzy's daily trivialities. But on the other side of the coin, not everyone wants to hear about the trivialities enjoyed by grownups either. I'm sure folks inwardly groan when I post a cute picture of my cats or a snap of a completed sewing or food project. Then they do what I do and scroll past.
And the string quartet still opens the tear floodgates for me. :3

Date: 2012-11-21 02:48 am (UTC)I'm posting what I want. I'm usually pandering to at least one person... me.
Some self-professed childfree people really scare me. So much hate.
Re: Hmmm...
Date: 2012-11-21 11:07 pm (UTC)I have to admit to some annoyance when faced with the shenanigans of this new "I'm That Hip Parent That Takes Their Little Genius EVERYWHERE" sort... There are just some places that kids should not be (say, like a tea room - which I discussed at length somewhere back in my journal), imho.
Regardless, I also don't understand the seething hatred that comes from the more militant child-free folk. My thoughts on the kid/no kid thing is the same as my thoughts on abortion: have one if you want/need to or don't have one if you don't want/need to. Either way, respect the other guy's decision.

Date: 2012-11-21 04:19 am (UTC)Family stickers on cars make the serial killer’s job easier. “In this house there are mom, dad, two kids and a cat. Got it!” (Of course, maybe I watch too many episodes of Criminal Minds?)

Date: 2012-11-21 07:44 am (UTC)For example: I KNOW "bitching" is another word for "complaining". When I see it, female me is not bothered/offended/whatever; the person using it is NOT trying to intentionally insult me or anybody else. But a uber PCer will get up in arms about it (That's a misogynistic!!! Blah, blah, blah).

Date: 2012-11-21 02:58 pm (UTC)And the hatred of that chick from Twilight. Ahh, yes: Kristen Stewart (gotta love learning about popular culture by osmosis). I didn't like the movie, & don't care about the books. As a result: I just don't care about the fact that she broke up with the guy who played the vampire, and fooled around with the director - meh. It's something to read and look at.
Makes me feel for George Takai, since he is feels it's his duty in life to unfavorably compare Stewart to Emma Watson (Hermione in Harry Potter).
