The small things that make you lose respect for humanity...

[Ares Tyr]

I hear them all the time. Small, little comments that make me say "Wow, are people getting dumber by the day or am I just going crazy?". These things don't have to be world-altering acts of war or anything, no, just small acts and comments that make me have a double-take and think "Are you kidding me?".

Most recently, these things have made me lose respect for people and my faith in humanity...

Example 1:

"In a few days, a movie's coming out that I'm excited to see..."

"What's that?"

"Death Race."

Example 2:

"You're a Buddhist, right? So why are you defending jewish people? Didn't Buddhism start in Guam or something?"

Example 3:

"Jumper was awesome, you have no right to talk about what movies are good! I mean, seriously! You like Pulp Fiction, There Will Be Blood, and Clerks! You like stupid movies."

(Pulp Fiction won a Cannes Award, There Will Be Blood had multiple Oscars, and Clerks is considered by both film critics and fans as a cult classic that left a huge impact on American cinema.)

What about you? What things make you hate your fellow man?

 

[Souplex]

Movies.
I mean come on, we made Napoleon Dynamite that is proof of how much we suck.

 

[The Thief]

Every time I hear celebrity gossip... I die a little.

Edit: And when people say they hate clerks...

I hate clerks, moving on.

People who can't find shit on a map.

Me-"Hey today is Arbor day"
Friend-".......whats Arbor day?"

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

- When I heard people defending Paris Hilton and claiming she could sing.
- When a new Reality Show begins

... come to think of it, most things make me lose faith in humanity.

Me-"Hey today is Arbor day"
Friend-".......whats Arbor day?"

Guess I'm going to contribute to your loss of humanity because until I wiki'd that I never heard of it.

 

[Perwer]

Me : "I was thinking maybe we could watch Batman begins. I really liked it and it will be nice if we could watch it before we go and see The dark knight tomorrow"

Friend: "Batman? I don't understand. What does he do?"

Same friend after typing an awful lot of capital letters:
"I hate that button, what's it called again?"
Me : "Read it."

After discussing the theory of evolution my friend says :
"Yea, that sounds a lot more plausible then all that god crap. How does the theory of evolution go again ?"

Also, I have a really hard time finding respect for people that talk of chicks like they were just a pieces of meat with holes in them. Which basically means I don't respect anyone of my friends.
I'm sure that with time I could think of hundreds more but this will have to do for now.

EDIT: Celebrity gossip just makes me cry... Especially the fact that it actually interests a lot of people. It's just so sad...

 

[N.K]

When you tell people that you're a gamer and they answer in a very condescending way, and imply that only kids should play videogames.

Me : "I was thinking maybe we could watch Batman begins. I really liked it and it will be nice if we could watch it before we go and see The dark knight tomorrow"

Friend: "Batman? I don't understand. What does he do?"

*shudder*

 

[Albino Ninja]

I got a big one and a small one if thats alright...
big one-the ever-growing shallowness of the human world
small one-a friend of mine told me he thought the halo series was strategic.

 

[The Potato Lord]

People dismissing valid arguements by saying "You don't understand"

Yea, Because I have valid arguements I must not understand, I'll buy that completely.

small one-a friend of mine told me he thought the halo series was strategic.

Maybe he's from the future and he's played Halo Wars
.. but probably not

 

[Ares Tyr]

I got another one.

This fellow I went to school with was an admitted druggie. Now, I have nothing against pot-users and what not, but he did it all, coke, pot, pills, crazy stuff. He has also bragged about how he once knocked out a hooker on the street with a brick because he thought it'd be funny, and to him it was HILARIOUS! This guy has a girl friend, girls who cheat with him on said girl friend, and the love of half the student body at that school.

And to make it worse, he's like, 5'6" and looks something like a rat in the face. There's actually two guys who went to my school who fit the same description and got the same attention, except one was blonde and one was brown haired.

Which apparently proves the point that if you want to get laid, be the biggest asshole you can imagine and it'll more than likely work.


Also, I can't stand people who insult people for being intelligent or for reading books. Because apparently you are a foolish social retard if you like anything that's intellectualy engaging.

I think I'm learning why I started listening to death metal...

Welcome to the club.

 

[patente101]

Seeing someone light up a cigarette. It doesn't make me lose all respect for the person, but some of it. I just find it disappointing.

Sounds like one hell of a guy, but seriously, why does his height and looks have anything to do with it? Neither is his fault, which makes it sort of weird to mention - though I do understand the point you make about a somewhat short, rat-faced asshole who still manages to get laid.

small one-a friend of mine told me he thought the halo series was strategic.

he probably saw an early prototype vid of it, circa 1999. the first Halo was actually supposed to be an RTS. then it got changed to a third-person shooter. now its the FPS giant you know it to be today.

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i had to grab my dinner table to get up from that one!

I think its because said asshole everybody knows, For some reason women like men that are dicks. The guys most likely a dick so it works out.

I meant it like this, I can see a complete dick getting laid if he looks like Brad Pitt or something, ya know? The same way I can over look a chick being dumb if she's devastatingly hot (call me shallow, but I'm not going to lie to you). But this guy is not only very much a complete scum bag, but also a very average (below average) looking person physically. And then I look unto the beautiful women he is getting and I'm just like "How? In what God's world does this make sense?". But then I am reminded that he will probably O.D. before he's thirty.

People who feel angsty.

If you see someone one up you in something, who cares? Who cares if there's a perceived injustice in the world? Don't bother feeling moody or angsty, just move on. There's plenty of other things you can focus on. Hell, if people get on your back about reading books, just ignore them and dive back in to the story. You see some asshole get a date? Ignore it! There's no reason to rob them of such happiness, they've every right to it as nice folk.
