  • Re: What pisses you off? - Chapter 7

    I hate spammers who leave bogus comments in my blog. Damn spider bots target the old posts instead of the new ones.
    How'd I get so white and nerdy?

      I understand multi-tasking but popping fireworks and working on a computer at the same time is a bit too much.

      Oh and the lane change thing gets me too but what's really bizzare is when people don't use their turn indicator to move into a left turn only lane but then use it to make that left in the dedicated lane!

      If you're in a dedicated left turn lane, it's quite obvious to everyone that you're turning left.

      But Sheesh I understand there are morons out there who don't know how to drive or read signs, but doing the incessant honking to prove their ignorance isn't helping the situation either. It's just pissing off Tufi in the Nofa that's blocking you out and pretty soon Braddah's gonna come out and show you how ignorant he really is.

      Not worth it to engage in road rage. As we all know: This is Hawaii...slowwwww down.
      Life is what you make of it...so please read the instructions carefully.

        I hate it when people take our $0.10 pens (its the 10 pack pens from Longs).

        Not to mention when family members use my car w/out telling me - especially when they white the dashboard with armor all. I thought I'd get sick from the fumes while my AC was on.

          ...to find the sunday comics is no longer is no longer comical.

          i'd like ta whap upside da head, da cartoonist who drew it. and the person wh authorised it:
          cartoon of mrs clause and santa clause rubbing some levitra on an elf's pointed ear to make it bigger and more upright. sick.

          while waking up with the stack of sunday papers and Java, I would often hand the comics to keiki on sunday morn while at da local coffee shop. No more! thanks to our local newspapers.

          about a year ago, some cross dresser/transexual drawing and joke was seen in the sunday comics. woman comes home to find her husband wearing her stuff. and one of those phrases are in there. So a four year old reading the comics sez;
          daddy, what's a trans sexual? why is this man wearing mommy's clothes? do you do that?

          it pisses me off to see cartoons best suited for playboy magazine, in the family sunday.. paper. get that? family. Sunday. Public paper.

          pisses me off too, that i can't use the search funk shun on this board. I am forced to perform this colorblindness test which i fleetingly flunk... in order to search something.
          was looking for thread: things that piss you off.
          the way i found it? I know serenity gets pissed off daily at least. found her name under members. found the thread immediately. wheee.

            It pisses me off to see Honolulu changing just too fast. some article published tells us there are fourty yes 40! condo towers planned for kaka'ako in the future.
            hate to see myopic shortsighted overdevelopment. Fixed rail? that no one knows where it will go? and know one knows what it will cost above the 4 bill? and you know it will skyrocket far above that. We don't even know what we will be riding. and by the time it is anywhere near completed, it will be wholly insufficient to handle all the extra cars that are here carting around all the lil people occupying all the lil new rat traps in honolulu blocking out each other's view but let's keep building cuz we have a rail that will save everyone!

            Pisses me off this rail debacle joke fraud scam is seen as the be all end all for traffic solutions. No one will ride it. and then, if they do, the then mayor will say I got an idea to help ease traffic. tear down the rail, put up double deecker freeways in its place! and put a plaque with my name on it. I am deeeLIGHTed to see the council move foreward with my payola. i mean my personal bebe.

            Pisses me off to see Waikiki changing too fast too.
            Tourists' needs and wants change and that helps justify the change. they want the plastique experience. they will settle for a reasonable facsimile. the slow destruction of the international market Place is lamentable, but it is a money making venture. NOT a museum. They will make way for the new fun glossy experiences the tourists want and demand. they will level all that is cool and old and what we grew up with here; the many individual, character laden places that spelled Hawaii, for us, and they will put in the attractions that other destinations have, in order to compete. The Hawaii Tourism "Authority", (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) and their partners-in-bed; developers, politicians, multinational corporations, feel a need to to go head-to-head with the world's other tropical vacation destinations. They decimate all that is slightly worn, and update and upgrade, bringing in upscale condotels and anything else that helps implement the "highest and best use" dictum in this, the most expensive beach town in the you essuvay. There is no return for retaining the cool old funky areas of Waikiki. The budget traveller is no longer in their sights. Thus, the old parts of Waikiki fall easily.

            It is slightly ironical, a story I read recently from a publication of a while ago, , the Waikiki improvement association, or some such animal sez: " We strive to offer the high end, big budget visitor a world class experience and to offer a real sense of place here in Waikiki, we are dedicated to bringing them the best choices in the American and European Designer Shopping experience."
            Now, anyone who doesn't wanna invent some retroactive birth control for the people who think that "This is the way to offer a Hawaiian sense of place, we torch the tiki hut and put in Prada..." well... ya gotta feel sorry for them and their unfortunate perspective...

            Trader Vic's, the Papeete bar, Beachcomber, and many other old style Polynesian bars and restaurants tucked away here and there that were our happy hunting grounds, that now happily haunt our bittersweet dreams... are but a memory, and although these businesses closed, many had a real chance to stay open, and in fact were a vital, active moneymaking venture at the time,.... but for reasons i won't go into here, fell by the wayside and went the way of all dust.
            So those that want to bring in the highest dollar per square foot that others are, in Waikiki, see erected, a big shiney hotel and a goofy retro thang to serve the tourons their chosen poisons and sin and tonics and say; "...there. we gave them a sense of place. They came to Hawaii and got the Hawaiian experience."

            je'like when ya walk into Aston Hotel's metal prison bar enclosed trendy "Tiki's Grill and Bar" and wonder at all the unHawaiian decor. Leopard print this. Aggroart that. Styrofoam plastic fake 'tiki" figures here and there. Amid some very nice carvings by old school carvers (which is sullied by association of being found in the neighborhood foam tiki collection) ... Ya ask a hostess and say whassup with all this junk? and she replies just what you would expect from seeing Waikiki's devolution: "...Hey, we're just giving the tourist what they want." this has become a mantra the last decade or so. Unfortunately. But they will keep building what the tourons are supporting. And destroying all that stands in the way of that.
            There's no stopping regress.

              These last two posts made me sad, but now that I have thought about it, I'm mad. So I guess that counts as "What pisses me off?"
              Happy Monday Everyone! Arrgh.

                I'm feeling you on all of these, Brada Kimo. After living in Japan for 5 five years (only returning once to Hawaii during that time), I was totally disappointed with the state of affairs in Hawaii when I returned. H-3 right through the heiau in Halawa. Problems with the military in Waiahole. Waaay more homeless people. Higher taxes, property taxes, gas caps. Local people and Hawaiians getting the squeeze. I totally gave up on Waikiki years ago. I wouldn't trade anything in the world for living in Hawaii, but damn, things just don't seem right. Aloha.

                  I hate it when I can't find a receipt, especially if its to redeem something free (in this case, a free upgrade to Windows Vista)
                  How'd I get so white and nerdy?

                    You know Adrian...I just ordered and received Windows XP Home OEM version for installation on a computer. In this particular order, I also received the "Upgrade Redemption Form for Upgrade Version of Windows Vista Home Basic or Windows Vista Home Premium" form.

                    Question: How does one become an Authorized System Builder? Because you will need a receipt from that builder to qualify for the upgrade.

                    And it's not a free upgrade at all. The upgrade for the Vista Home Basic runs $49 while the upgrade for Vista Home Premium runs $79. BTW the upgrade comes in either a DVD or CD-ROM disk. Being one that orders and builds computers, is that enough to qualify as an Authorized System Builder? If so you could probably write your own receipt!

                    BUT IT AIN'T FREE so that pisses me off!

                      I really hate druggies!! One just came into the store a few minutes ago looking to sell me a $60 wireless laser mouse for $25. While I was looking up the mouse's info, I inspected the package, and it received one bad job to cover up the fact that the box was opened - the tape that held the box closed at the store was covered by regular tape, and I could see that the box itself received a beating. I then told the person no, but here's the real kicker: he then asked me and my friend if we wanted any other computer stuff. I then looked at my friend and he looked at me - smiling and we peppered the guy with soon to released/high end computer products (the iPhone, a quad core AMD motherboard w/ processors, Nvidia 8800 graphics card, etc). He eventually left after he got angry and noticed we were playing with him, and I filed a police report afterwards. I just wished I had a camera on my laptop to take a picture of him.

                        I really hate tailgaters. It wasn't a problem when I had the Taurus because there was a trunk, but now that I have a hatchback, I can literally feel the engine on the back of my neck. I have to speed up just to avoid them.

                        Oh, and I don't want to forget about people who uses their high lights - especially on SUVs or trucks. Those things shine into my rearview mirror like the sun.

                          are you SURE... about that?
                          You had a physical experience of a hot engine on your neck?
                          and you are alive to recount the experience?!

                          no. doc. take my word for it. You do.

                            I admit that I often check out this thread - it's very interesting to see how often people's buttons get pushed. What makes me sad is how often the word "hate" is used. Isn't that a little strong for something that just "pisses us off"? If all this "hate" is going on regularly for the small stuff, like tailgating for instance - what happens when something major happens? The small stuff is what should be pissing us off - not making us "hate". That's a very strong word to use on such a regular basis.

                            just my very humble opinion. don't mean to offend anyone.

                              joke.
                              nah, anapuni. das what I was just thinking when I read that. HATE tailgaters.

                              it's rampant. looka youtube. and blogs. and everywhere. they either hate or love something. ( for the primitives, it's more often hate. or cutting things, perspectives..or people... down. That's how little people make themselves "big"; by cutting others down.)
                              it's the human experience or at least the human conveyance of experience.. by those that haven't the experience and the vocabulary to convey the varied emotions and subtleties of their feelings, mostly because they haven't any.

                                I just occured to me that I had never posted a thing here(had to doublecheck)for the exact reason you point out. I apparently don't "hate" anything enough to let it just "piss me off". That just made my day.
