Pet Peeves (constantly updated)

This may be about the only place where I let negativity run amok. So, there you go!

- people who invite you over for dinner/chat only to seat everyone in front of TV to watch some drivel (I've even seen hosts falling asleep right there in front of their guests);

- celebrity endorsements - but of course you will endorse a candy bar made out of your own grandmother for ENOUGH MONEY! Does not mean I have to buy it, now does it?

- petty bourgeois who gleefully swallow the crap they are fed on cable news channels/tabloids for a gospel and use it as conversation pieces;

- low-riding jeans on individuals with short legs and no asses to speak of showing off their faded undies - huge YUCK! Do you own a mirror? Even "cooler": jean's crotch hanging somewhere between the knees - makes you like like a dwarf who shat in his pants.

- clothes with huge designer logos on them. 'Coz how otherwise people would know that you were stupid enough to pay 200 Euros for this plain white cotton T-shirt!

- designer logos showing on the elastic band parts of underwear, just above the jeans - well 2 magic words Tommy Hilfiger or Paul Lauren are NOT going to make your scrawny, pudgy or otherwise ungainly ass look good.

-

- organized religion of any kind - keeping usurped monopoly on interpreting God, adding mind-controlling money-making bells and whistles to the most spiritual experience around;

- people who think dates are actually open sex invitations;

- supermarket chains peddling food produced under dubious standards as organic at 3 times the normal price and branding it as a "logical choice for the health-minded";

- middle class individuals trying to pass for high class by way of affected 'dainty' manners and fade-influenced choice of overpriced gourmet food and brand clothing - the non-U types sitting on doilies and wiping their runny noses with serviettes;

- Ugg Boots - how can they ever possibly look good on anyone? They were invented by the Aborigines who at the time had no better hide-processing or sewing techniques. Uggly Boots, more like it;
