That Guy/Girl

[Desmond Hawkins]

Jack Johnson's Fanbase: Enough said.

Fashionable Gym Person: This one is somewhat hard to describe, but we all know who they are. This is mostly referring to men, as fashionable female gymwear is usually at least practical. This will include anyone who wears a baseball cap sideways to work out. This usually also corresponds with the wearing of many gold (coloured) chains. It wouldn't be fair to simply label this as "Gangsta" wear, because it also describes guys who would be "GQ" types outside of the gym. This has absolutely no utility and makes you look like a douche. As a general rule of thumb for men, your workout clothing should never cost the combined equivalent of more than $80 (excluding shoes and certain dry-fit clothing, but including socks and underwear). I don't mind clothing with lots of pockets, as those have utility. Gym clothing is supposed to be comfortable, yet an expendable and efficient recepticle/eliminator of sweat. No more!

EDIT: If you want a good guide of what to wear, find out what the military uses. It is usually very cost efficient, comfortable, and appropriate.

Comfy, yes, appropriate, very yes, cost efficient, very no. 120 for the boots alone plus the acu which is about 50-90 depending on size, they aint cheap, but with the militaries funding I dont blame them. This is of course speaking for the american military of course.

Damn,i guess i am just one those fools.

I wouldn't say so. You're interested in, among other things, ancient philosophy and logic. Two things that the people I describe are NEVER interested in. They especially disdain logic. If you ask them why they will likely mumble some incoherent crap about "analytic" philosophy and how evil logic is associated with it.

Damn you. I'm insulted and never talking to you again. How can someone not like Jack Johnson?

For some reason chicks dig his stuff. I guess it's like romantic movie guy. I say sometimes you need to pick your battles and take one for the team. Jack Johnson can't be worse than "Sleepless in Seattle".

 

[Captain Planet]

The Kid We All Want To Beat Up But Will Make More Money Then Us All: This is that kid who in Grade School says "Present" instead of the typical "Here" when the teacher is taking attendence. This child is often looked down upon by other classmates and may also be the child who brought disgusting snacks into your Kindergarten class or who smells bad.

I think Eran means they would be annoying.........if they existed.

I mean I see what you are getting at Eran, but I never run into these people in real life. Any ardent atheist usually only gets started about their anti-God beliefs in response to someone else's pro-theistic comments.

It isn't like, "man we almost got hit by a train. I would thank God, but I don't believe in him"

or, "Lets say grace, except not really, because I don't believe in God"

or, "I would go to church today to heal my soul, but I don't believe in God"

On CFC you get atheists who start threads about religion, but that is about the closest thing to it.

My ex girlfriend's dad was like this sometimes...it was like eating dinner with richard dawkins.

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

I hate anyone who isn't 'normal'.

The Label Obessive: Someone who devotes their entire life to procuring as many "Gucci" items as possible. In fact, I may start sounding like 'Fight Club Man' here so forgive me Fiddy, anyone who purchases something mainly because of it's label. People who shop at Marks & Spencer because it's more 'upmarket' than Tesco's, people who wear 'North Face' because they are secret adrenalin junkies despite working as an accountant, people who will only eat in a restaruant with a French sounding name.

Me: "What you bought"
L.O: "Potato peeler, it's from Selfridges, cost £50."
Me: "£50? Why've you spent that? They're about 3 quid."
L.O: "This is from Selfridges"
Me: "It's a bloody potato peeler"
L.O: "From Selfridges"

"I liked it/them before it/they was cool" guy: For every fashionable band, piece of clothing, car, etc., that this guy likes, he always feels the need to declare that he liked them "before they were cool". Of course, nobody remembers him liking them before they were cool, and nobody cares anyways, but this guy just wants to simultaneously do what's in fashion as well as be "original", so he rests on the annoying "I liked it before it was cool" mantra.

I am talking about the workout clothing. Shoes/boots were intentionally excluded from the pricing, because there is a good reason to spend lots on that.

Lots of movies seem to show military workout clothes as sweatpants and t-shirts/sweaters.

Damn you. I'm insulted and never talking to you again. How can someone not like Jack Johnson?

Woe hoe hold your horses there. I didn't say Jack Johnson himself. Although I tend to avoid his music for posterity's sake.

The close-talker : That person that dosen't leave enough space between you and him for conversations. When you take a step back he follows you.

I had to deal with one of these at a Christmas party recently





"Ambiguous Masquerading as Deep" guy: This worthless sack of crap loves to, on subjects of god/spirituality, utter/post a bunch of random ambiguous crap that is supposed to be really really deep if you "truly understand it". Usually vaguely related to "eastern ways of thought" (and eastern thinking to these people is self-evidently better than western thinking), this guys crap usually manifests itself as some combinations of either a bunch of random "spiritual" words (like nature, soul, self, enlightenment, being, etc.) jumbled into vague sentences, or else super short sentences designed to conceal entire systems of thought if you "really understood it".

Perpetually Tired Person: Now to be fair, I guess some people do have sleeping issues. But we all know those people who for as long as we have known them have always claimed to be sooo tired. Whenever you say, "how are you", they say, "Man, I am soo tired today". Now everyone gets tired from time to time, but this is how they always respond. It could be 2 pm and they could have had a full night's sleep and they will still complain.

The truth is that they are not tired, but are actually just mopey and depressingly negative. They attempt to cover up all of their personality faults by claiming they are "tired".

Be glad they don't sum up all their personality faults everytime you ask them: "how are you"

Me, Myself, and I: Reading this thread again, I realized I have far too many gripes with far too many people. I am a complainer and a hypocrite. So I propose that I myself constitute a terribly annoying persona.

The consumate self deprecating person. A positive human quality.

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

But not in excess. I am so self-deprecating that it's all I can talk about, and furthermore talking about how all I talk about is my flaws, is itself a form of self-deprecation, and so on; I am caught in a positive feedback loop.

At least you're aware of it

 

[ThePhysicist]

Yeah, they are annoying.

No, those who mention that they don't believe in God/have some political affiliation/whatever every other sentence.

Heh, theres another good one. Friend of mine was eating somewhere, and the waitress sneazed while taking the order. He said "bless you" to her. She became very angry and shouted that she's an ardent atheist and that he shouldnt dare to say things like that. Everybody in the place was staring at her.

Funny thing was, as he was leaving he stopped and wished her a happy easter (it was around Easter).

 

[Eukaryote]

-skinny girls that say they're fat

-people that talk about their sexual experiences with other people, like how many guys/girls wanted them to lick their *censored*/*censored*, maybe it's just me but it always makes me think "what a slut/showoff." Anybody else hate these types of people?
