over-ripe bananas

[/ QUOTE ]

Good one.

A slightly green banana is a good banana.

[/ QUOTE ]

a few spots of brown >>>> slightly green

[/ QUOTE ]

This one is almost too close to call, but I'm gonna disagree. A little tartness in a banana adds a lot to the flavor, but overripeness adds nothing. It's kinda tricky to catch a banana just right.

[/ QUOTE ]
the best is when it is green and just barely starting to develop brown spots. also if your preferred banana is one that will fall apart from giving it a slight shake, you are disgusting.

2) Cashiers that get confused when I give them $17 for a $6.54 bill.

The fact that you screwed this up is evidence of why you should cut the cashiers some slack when you try to make creative change.

[/ QUOTE ]
yeah that's pretty funny.

Skeptics of the world feel free to add what you dislike.

I don't think this word means what you think it means.

1) Traffic. God, I [censored] hate traffic, and I moved to the second-worst city for it, too. (Seattle)
2) Joe Morgan and his ilk.
3) Pickles.
4) Black people. Oh wait

Seeing as I am a huge skeptic, I figured posting a corollary to TxRedMan's "Some of my favorite things" post would be appropriate.

1. I hate flying. I hate it mostly because of my size. I am self conscious of how big I am, and there is nothing I can do about it. I try my best to fit inside my seat, but having a naturally large frame just isn't something that goes well with flying. Every time I fly I feel like I am dying.

fwiw, I have officially decided to stop giving you crap about your size.

you never really let on prior that it bothered you, but since you have, i can respect that.

(feel free to keep giving me [censored]...it doesn't bother me at all).

1) People at the gym that like to just let the dumbells they used fall to the floor so that it is noisy as hell and you think someone just got hurt and turn around, just because they think it's cool that they pretend to lift so much weight that they are not able to let go of the weight in a controlled manner. I only once dropped a weight like this and I found it very embarrassing.

2) Stupid people. I just can't find a way to deal with them when ignoring them isn't an option.

I was so confused about why in the hell you'd pay 17 for something that's 6.54??? WOW, I understand the idea, but you're just as big an idiot as the cashier.

Typically I agree, but occasionally when maxing out squat/deadlift/powerclean, this happens to me. We have rubber mats for all of the free weight workouts, though, so it's not as thunderous as it might be in your gym.

1. People that don't modulate their voice when in a library

2. People that have the brains to put their cell phone on vibrate in the library, but not the brains to keep it off the table so it BUZZES LOUDER THAN THE RING THEREBY NEGATING ANY POINT OF PUTTING IT ON VIBRATE every two minutes when they keep getting text messages.

3. People in the library that have on headphones, but boom them so loud that you can tell what song is playing from across the room.

4. People that print a 125 page outline without printing front/back and then reprint another 125 pages without doing front/back because they forgot to underline something or some [censored].

5. People that get their coffee and then stand in front of the sugar/cream area for ten minutes debating the pros/cons of hazelnut creamer and sweet and low vs. french vanilla and splenda.

6. People that commiserate with other people, moaning and groaning, distracting everyone in the area. If you have a question, ask it, don't stand around for ten minutes bemoaning the amount of studying you're not doing.


If you can't tell yet I've been studying for finals and also realizing that despite all of their skills and brains, some people simply don't know how to live and breathe in a civilized [censored] society.


SO [censored] OFF.

By-Tor,

It doesn't bother me at all actually and actually probably motivates me to do something about the excess baggage.

Carry on my mail-order bride friend.

LOL, anyone who didn't pick up on that is probably not very good at logic and reasoning.

Number one and number three annoy me a lot as well.

When I see someone dropping a big weight and he obviously looks like he just maxed out, I don't have a problem with it. I just think "Shouldn't the guy get someone to watch and help him just for safetey reasons?". But if someone drops a weight and then just jumps up from the bench and starts chatting with some guys standing around not even sweating, that gets on my nerves because I lost my concentration and I might accidentally ignore someone who really has a problem some day because of this.
