another thing that pisses me off: (and i know solo has alreay said this) President Bush
and i really wish everyone would stop compltely freaking out about global warming! i mean jeez! worrying about it is only going to make it worse! why dont we all just calm down and accept that this might be a natrual fluctuation in the earth's tempature. and if thats not the case, take a chill pill and hop on your bike and get some CFLs for gods sake!
And that is exactly what George Bush wants you to do, just act like nothing is happening and drive an SUV everywhere, because we're in a war so you can have plenty of oil, so don't cut down! Whether it's a natural fluctuation or not we are contributing to it and denying that is really pissing me off.

agree.. recent studies have shown that human worry leads to increased CO2 emission due to heavy breathing/increased heart rate... everyone needs to relax in order for antarctica and greenland to refreeze..

How could it not be true!
Peter, of course it's raining, it's a bank holiday. It's traditional.

What's a bank holiday anyway? Are people forgiven their debts? You seem to be having a holiday too, are you all bankers? (ok, should look it up)

It's likre a traditional day off for everyone. Im not sure why it's their, it just is

When contemporary buildings from the 60s and 70s (or earlier) are torn down or renovated for crappy traditional style buildings (see next rant).
When architects design what are supposed to be "traditional" style buildings, but they get it wrong. With all the information out there, it's like misspelling your own name - it's just wrong!
Beige E.I.F.S. Neither the material or the color is bad in itself, but it's used way too much. What's worse is when the building's entire color scheme is beige. BORING.

To iGOR - my appologies..... my teenager comments were stereotypical. Now that I think about it - they apply to as many 20 somethings as they do teenagers.
Another thing that really pisses me off - the architects / developers / builders that create those huge monstrosity "contemporary" homes that all share the same flawed design features - you know which ones I'm talking about.
1- Fake paladian round top window
2- The 2 story "no detail - out of scale" columns that support a small dormer that covers only the entry.
3- The 10 useless windows added to try and make the attached 6 car garage look like a wing of the house
4- The excessively high roof ridge lines that I swear do nothing but add to roof shingle and wood truss sales quotas
5- The use of 5 different (and often non-complimentary) front facade materials
6- And my favorite one of all - the rediculous use of 6-8 fake dormers (1' or 2' deep)that create roofline upon roofline on the front of the house.

Amen to that!

People getting pissed of on a 'what pisses you off' thread

i second the movement against above link. will those lawers take a chill pill and lessen up on copyright stuff? i mean seriously? illegal to travel with your ipod or laptop?!?!?! do you know what that would mean for the teenagers and bussiness men of the world? please dont let this be like when mp3's first came out and all the lawers were freaking out about copyright stuff and put DRM on everything. then everyone went to peer-to-peer services and the lawers got even more pissed. that pisses me off. and do you realize that if everyone would stop completely freaking out about copyrights, no one would try to pirate movies and make infingements. DUH
DRM = Digital Rights Management

Having to install crappy bits of proprietary software that mess up your computer for ever more to achieve seemingly simple things.
The culprit, steam. I just want to play a bit of geometry wars, a 30mb download, but you need steam first, a program entirely incapable of downloading a program without running constantly and somehow managing to take down an entire network while downloading the game.

To add to the architectural rant: Brick slips are the worst invention ever. Why not just use bricks?

Apparently teachers arent allowed to answer questions any more. (quite a sensitive area, but the point remains.)
