Mirrors. Fucking mirrors annoy the hell out of me. Specifically, the mirrors that seem to be able to reflect anything from a magical beam of death or the ray gun that just cut through a building. Because everything in this world can at all times be thwarted by a shiny surface. Should I carry a mirror around with me to prevent my death in the event of a nuclear strike or alien invasion? Clearly, nothing shall ever harm me as long as I am behind this thin fragile piece of reflective material.

I hate the cliche that women with big breasts are stupid. It annoys me oh so much.

Also the cliche that gun enthusiasts are paranoid or insane.

Yeah. That's right. They actually did that.
I've now learned two things:
Random keyboard smashing does help against being hacked, the more people the better.
Pulling the plug will ultimately prevent you from being hacked.

It is painful, to say the least.

Is this some kind of intervention?

I was proud of myself for catching that particular fallacy in NCIS. I had to go tell my brother to tell them what they did.
I love NCIS but it's hard to take them seriously after seeing them do that, as well as the "2 Idiots 1 Keyboard". I didn't actually catch that one when I saw it but I did catch the "MMO high score". I was so pissed.

I can handel most cliches, but there is one I just can't stand. The *****.
You know who I'm talking about, the girl in action movies whose only job is to deliver lines like "I'm coooold!", "I'm hungry!" and the classic "OMG SPIDER! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! KILL IT! KILL IT! AAAAAAAH".

I just hate that!

I hate how in a zombie film everyone had not heard of the undead before. What in their universe the film "Night of the living dead" never existed?
I also hate in certain cartoon show that they to end the epiosde with a big laugh from the cast (it only acceptable if it was really funny).
Also in horror movie when they all decided to split up, they will be killed for sure!

It is staged, as almost everything on that channel RTL. Which makes this video so painful.

And apparently they need him to "hack" into a live chat in order to know what her son is going to do next. He says goodbye by saying "Möge die Macht mit euch sein", which means "May the force be with you".

On this note the people who, after just watching someone who was bit turn into a zombie, try to stop the group from killing the other guy that was bit because it's "wrong" well guess what society's gone get over it

Chess metaphors! They are so overused. Just give it a break already. Every time I see characters playing chess in a dramatic part of a movie (usually ending with the antagonist saying "checkmate" with a sinister tone, then his opponent looks up and suddenly realizes that this isn't just about chess) I just want to stop watching. It's not clever anymore.
