I can understand wearing one if you are at work and need both hands to do something and driving, but walking through the mall??? Give me a fuggin break... but that isnt what bothers me the most.


Talking on the damn phone when someone is trying to help/serve you . like at a bank at a restuarant or in the checkout line some where....."Hey you fvck get off the phone and give these people some respect...plus you are holding up the fvckin line you fvckin fvck!!!!" GRRRRRR

i think it's just overall silly for us to criticize the things other people do that we either don't agree with or don't understand because the bottom line is that all of us do things that some of the people around us do not agree with or do not understand. to name just one, most of us own impractical sportscars here, and i'm sure there are people out there who think we are duchebags or retards for spending so much money on an impractical vehicle that gets driven "normally" 80% or the time and how annoying it is that we drive those sportscar aggressively on those rare occassions on public roads. of course we don't feel that way, but that doesn't mean theses are peoples' views and opinions are not justified in their own minds, and who is to say who's views are right and who's are wrong??

just like any new idea or new technology, it will initally be equally praised and equally criticized to the extreme. when cellphones first became mainstream, many people criticized how silly and unnecessary for people to own and use cellphones, but less than 10 years later, almost anyone and everyone own cellphones. eventually we'll get used to seeing people wear bluetooth headsets and understand their benefits and we will see it as normal and no longer gripe about it as intensely.


as for the second comment, if it bothers you so much, then go up to these offenders and give them a piece of your mind. the problem is that most people by nature (and i'm not saying you) are nonconfrontational and that is what these offenders continue to do what they do cuz no one have ever approached them and point out how disruptive their actions are. if they get directly complained constantly where ever they go, then i'm sure these people will adapt and modify their ways. if not, then they'll end up being social outcasts shunned by everyone in public. unfortunately, this will never happen, cuz like i said very few people will confront another stranger no matter how irritated they are inside by this stranger.

isn't it equally disrespectful to be surfing the web and posting in S2KI while you're in class?? i'm sure your instructor wouldn't be too fond of what you are doing if he/she knew about it.
I was multi-tasking. Taking notes and making threads

i get what you are saying. IPODs absolutely belong in marketing class. That was the main topic in my class. How can a player that is inferior have such success? Marketing!

I agree, people dont realize that they are too loud sometimes.
