WTF: Help me understand this recent cultural phenomena

[DRAGGER]

Why is there brail on drive up ATM's?????

 

[Fatgodzilla]

WTF is with the UGG Boots, I see the dam things everywhere, and they are F***K**G UGGly!

When they were invented in Australia a few years ago now, they were a way to keep your feet warm after coming out of the surf. Let's face it, other than thongs (you call them flip flops or something stupid - real men (Australians) call them thongs, not those stupid undies you wear half way up your bung hole) - real surfing men don't wear sox. Just thongs and Ugg boots. It was also a good way to use up some of the millions of excess sheep skins we kind of accumulate down here. Yes, they were a post surfing accessory. Now, well America tried to steal the copyright name (UGG) but we beat you you thieving bastards !

Is that a good enough rant ?

Why is there brail on drive up ATM's?????

Going out on limb Im going to say because when the make an ATM they make them all the same. They don't make drive up, walk up, and in store ATM's and stack them in different places.

However if you find a drivers test in brail now you have something to question. :fro:

WTF is up with super-bright headlights on cars? Those halogen lights are more than annoying, they are dangerous to oncoming drivers. And now Sylvania has a new super-bright wide-spray replacement light everyone can get. Pretty soon I'll have to wear my sunglasses at night, too.

And on a related topic, WTF is up with SUV drivers who drive around with their fog lights on even when its not foggy. ID10T.

 

[sTango]

I mean honestly, who, besides native Spanish speakers, rolls their "R's" when pronouncing Nicaragua? Yep, pretentious NPR announcers do.

Alex Trebec does. As soon as I ready your post I though of him saying it.....it was so funny when he did it. :rockin:

 

[McCall St. Brewer]

Here are a few that I really cause me to scratch my head:

WTF is up with:

1. Body hair phobia. The younger generation nowadays seems to think that both women and men (the latter of which I really can't understand) should have bodies which are entirely hairless other than their head, and, in the case of men, their faces. I'm sorry, folks, but the only thing I'm shaving is my face.

2. (Seconding an old post by EdWort) fat chicks wearing clothes that are too tight so their fat bulges out all over.

3. Along the same lines, fat chicks with ugly tatoos and a thong hanging out of their jeans.

4. Excessive road rage. Where did all of this come from?

News flash: if someone cuts you off while changing lanes, chances are that they didn't do it on purpose. Get over it. If you unintentionally cut someone off, do you want some nut going postal on you for something that was just an accident?

you are one of those people who don't like the HID's that cars are coming with now, they are replacing the halogens because you can see so much better than you could before. I like them, and halogens are teh suck IMHO

WTF is it with the person in the car in front of me, making a right hand turn at a snails pace. I swear they must think they're taxiing a 747 around that corner and sweating bullets the whole way through.

also applies to the a$$ making the left turn who waits until oncoming traffic comes to a complete stop, burning up the green arrow because shes sitting to far into the intersection to see the lights

 

[Arrog@nt B@st@rd]

Can't BELIEVE someone hasn't asked this one yet, but WTF is up with "Jenkem"?? And if you don't know what that is....Google it...just have a bucket handy...

 

[Helmy]

and while we are on the subject here are a few more:

for all of you in big ten country...hows about the Comcast vs. Big ten / Big Ten vs. Comcast routine? That wasn't tiring in August.....

Detroit Drivers...not metro Detroit drivers, but real Detroit drivers. Here is a group of people that finds the rules of the road do not apply to them. This has to be their thought pattern. "Lets see. I have to cross traffic. as i look to my left traffic is clear. As i look to my right traffic is bumper to bumper. Will i wait until i see a break in traffic in both directions and safely pull out? NAAHHHHH why do that when i can pull out half way now, block oncoming traffic until i see a free space. Its not like i care who i inconvienance. As long as i get out as soon as possible is all i am worried about. O, and i may cut you off if i get to impatient!!!"

Christians. Nothing better to hear than I am going to hell told to me by priests, who if i have this correct, are supposed to represent themselves as conduits to God all the while molesting UNDERAGE BOYS and condemning the gay population. To top it off Vatican City protects them. WTF is that.

And here is my disclaimer: To anyone who subscribes to any of the beliefs or practices above and shares a diffrent opinion, i mean no offense. Have a homebrew!!

I wear a belt and suspenders.

 

[Brew Runner]

Redundant system in case one fails, right?

Never heard of it until now, thanks alot!

 

[ScubaSteve]

People who always have their cellphone ringer on...when pretty much every model is made with a silent vibrate function.....

People who leave their mobile at the desk when they go into a meeting and don't put it on silent.

The disclaimer is a little weak, but it does reminds me of the classic Italian disclaimer. You can say the most vile and outrageous things as long as it's prefaced by "no disrespect, but..."

e.g.:

No disrespect, but your sister's a whore.

or

Please watch the religious stuff and lets not get into debates.
It doesn't work.

 

[Silviakitty]

Here in the South, it's 'Bless his heart' or 'Bless her heart'.

"That Becky, bless her heart..." *whispered* "...I hear she drinks!"




(edit: dumb spelling mistake)

ahh, I wondered what the Jenkem was....didn't know that was the name of it

Had a co-worker who did this almost daily. I just tossed the phone in her trashcan.

It's even better when the phone is on vibrate and makes its own way towards the trashcan

Mah pants don't sag. How are you supposed to run from the cops with your waist band around your thighs or lower? I don't know. I wear a belt and suspenders.

Their truth telling qualities are also nice, sometimes.

 

[Yuri_Rage]

WTF is up with "I hate" threads?

I'm with Dude:

I hate I hate threads.

 

[olllllo]

I'll quote myself at the beginning of the thread.

WOW!

I was looking at the WTF as in

"I really don't understand what your F'in thought process is, that appears to be a stupid idea that has somehow been deemed acceptable type of deal."
Ex. Uggs, Fat Pipe mufflers, droopy pants.

I wasn't expecting the WTF in the angry sense.

Emphasis mine (of mine).

 

[kush]

I dont know if this was commented on yet b/c i just typed and clicked reply but here is goes:

WTF is up with the REAL men/women love jesus bumper stickers. Do you really need to make that statement? Im catholic and my g/f is jewish. Even though im christian i take offense to that. Are you saying that you are better than other people who dont? What happened to believing in what you want to believe in. Things like that sometimes make me ashamed of the human race. While on this topic, WTF is up with people telling you that you need to be saved? saved? Saved from what?

Its not like other bumper stickers or shirts that say real men play football, golf, etc. it was put on there for a point. To make others offended.

Im not going into a debate on it, i just wanted to make my statement.

Brew on!
