ttcsubwayfan Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share #126 Posted April 22, 2014 -Random people on Youtube who feel compelled to send me random videos. -Bugs. Be they spiders, worms (especially the nasty ones that come out after it has rained) or whatever else, I HATE them. The very thought is enough to make me shudder. If I didn't have places to go, I'd stay indoors until after the disgusting worms have gone back into whatever hellish abyss they came from, but unfortunately that's not always an option. -Judgemental people. -Self righteous people (related to above). -People who say "It's just a (bus/train/book/movie/tv show/comic/car)", as though that was a valid argument against caring deeply about the aforementioned things. -People who think they're all that because they don't value material objects. Great, would you like a cookie with that, or what? -The suburbs. -When cities have mazes of side streets that don't take you anywhere useful. -People who use the word "gay" as a synonym for stupid. -Couples that act cute in public. -People who look down on small countries (this is a thing, believe it or not). -Tangled cords. -People who spam the word "like" in a sentence. -Chain letters. -Traffic lights that take forever to change.

ttcsubwayfan Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share #128 Posted April 22, 2014 Whose being judgmental here? Why do you always feel compelled to nitpick every post I make? You can be against judgemental people and at the same time not be a fan of couples who act cute in public (particularly those who chose to make out in public areas). Or am I mistaken? If you hate judgemental people, are you expected to enjoy looking at couples acting cute and making out in public? As for the small country thing, what does that have to do with anything? I've been all over the internet and have found a number of individuals who look down on most European countries because they're small ("too small to even be on a map" was one person's exact words). This is petty and, frankly, arrogant, and has nothing to do with the aforementioned items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted April 22, 2014 Share #129 Posted April 22, 2014 One thing is for sure. The racist comments I see on some of the youtube videos can be outright ridiculous. I even saw a racist tirade from posters over there over a national geographic youtube video over a documentary on lions and tigers in the wild! Huh? Thats the internets for you.

RollOver Posted April 22, 2014 Share #130 Posted April 22, 2014 -People that propose the to go to Lefferts and all trains to the Rockaways (alternating headways south of Broad Channel). -People that propose the to run local via CPW on weekends. -People at either end of a station delaying the train by holding car doors. -Constant track work/inspections that delays trains on a corridor, which can in turn, make them very late and cause severe overcrowding further down the line. Happens many times on the on weekends, especially considering the fact that it runs every 12 minutes and is the only line on Saturday/Sunday to serve Flatbush. -Constant work in the Rockaways causes the Apple to be bunched and gap, not to mention that it could also get backed up by the Rock Park Shuttle, Charlie and Delta. I notice the Apple normally runs about 8-9 tph on middays and Saturdays. The entire off-peak service on this line may as well be 6 tph to avoid delays by track work and other issues. -As long as track work continues on middays and weekends, running more trains than now=more congestion.

Orion V 9441 Posted April 23, 2014 Share #131 Posted April 23, 2014 My one big pet peeves are people who try to micromanage my life. It could be as simple as a math or science teacher making me solve a problem using their method, even though I can do it faster another way, to a government bureaucrat telling me what I cannot buy and what I "must" buy. I just personally do not like the idea of someone trying to decide what is best for me (except for myself), and thinking that I am too dumb to think critically or to make decisions on my own for themselves. Does anyone else feel like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakenhamtrain Posted April 24, 2014 Share #132 Posted April 24, 2014 This.Blind Freddie could of told you it was touched. How the video umpire cam up with "Umpires call"(code for inconclusive) is beyond me.Channel 7's fuzz-o-vision doesn't help making the whole review system a total face because it just ends up a blur. The stupid thing is they use super slow motion shots. Mainly of seagulls and people eating pies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardlet6 Posted April 25, 2014 Share #133 Posted April 25, 2014 The fact that you think 6-11 year old kids would be mature is historical already. I remember seeing kids shows from Britain fifteen years ago and they were light years ahead as far as writing,humor and style. If you remember Dangermouse,you are ahead of the game. I wish we could see Blue Peter and Grange Hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Co-workers who literally try to throw you under the bus or snitch on you to supervisors over the littlest things and spread false gossip behind your back because they have no lives.

ttcsubwayfan Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #137 Posted May 4, 2014 -People who's only purpose in life seems to be to insult everyone within a 300 km radius. -People who judge me for not being an optimist. So I can't see sunshine and rainbows everywhere I go, big deal. -People who litter. I had to do some volunteer work for school today and in a 0.7 km stretch, me and my dad managed to fill up two bags worth of shit. I'd hate to see how much load we would have if we covered more ground. -When teachers say "good morning", and if not everyone replies loudly, then they do it again. I mean, come on, we're not in kindergarten anymore. -People who stand around and spit. -People who nitpick everything. If I'm making a point, and I say something that could be worded much better, why bother about it? Why not focus on the big picture? -Billboard spamming. It's not so bad around here but in Bratislava it's awful. In one photo I had of a bus I found no less than 7 ugly billboards advertising stuff. -Forumers who quote LONG posts, even posts with a whole lot of large pictures, and all they say is LOL or Good pics or something. It's nice to compliment, but I just don't like scrolling 743 miles of webpages just to see a mono-word reply. -Infrequent but busy transit routes. -When transit routes end before midnight. -Short journeys. I don't know about you guys, but I like it if I have to ride for at least 30 minutes (car or transit) when I'm going somewhere. I HATE when I get in the car and I'm at my location in 7 minutes. Nothing fun about that at all. -People who try to tell you something they don't know. Example: P1: "I know all the numbers in Pi!"P2: "Really, Prove it."P1: "No, I you got to say it first. I want to make sure you know." -When people blast their music so loud I can hear it from the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted May 4, 2014 Share #138 Posted May 4, 2014 slept on this thread.... I guess I'll periodically post in this thread, b/c I don't feel like compiling a long list right now.... - One peeve that comes to mind.... Is when you know you slaughtered, dismantled, and straight up obliterated someone's argument - and their next retort is to not only resort to ad hom's, but to try to threaten you physically, on some straight up punk shit.... There are too many nigga$ out on the streets (and online... don't get me started with how many of these types of clowns exist online) on this BS & I don't see it getting any better.... See, you have males out here that don't know how to talk to grown men - as such, buckets of emotion is their only reaction to it all.... - Another peeve....a female that resorts to dissin you on your sex game (usually, your supposed lack of size, or how much of a minute man / a 2 pump chump you supposedly are), when she knows full well she got slayed pretty damn good the night before.... I don't get this stupid shit.... It's not like you're saving face b/c you're dissing the same guy you let run up in you, run up in you..... The only way the man loses in that situation is if he got burned messing w/ ole girl, or impregnated her.... Any female that does this shit needs to sit all the way down & take that L..... I know of too many dudes that have similar stories to this... - One more for now.... Giving elderly a seat, and the hypocrites that are quick to tell those that are younger than them, to give up their seat..... I have seen people on buses & trains (not just here in NYC, but in other cities as well) tap some elderly woman (usually), sometimes guys too, and said elderly person says no, no, I'm ok, I'm about to get off, or somethin to that effect.... The person gets up (so now this person is standing, along w/ the elderly person), and insists that the elderly person takes the seat.... The elderly person never sits down... But guess who comes swooping through to take that seat? ....you guessed it, the MF-er that told you that you should get up.... Aint that bout a.......

Orion VII 4 Life Posted May 4, 2014 Share #140 Posted May 4, 2014 Getting harassed rail/busfanning. This is why I use my iPhone to take most of my shots nowadays, and even then I get crap from the TA people and cops. Just Friday I was at QP checking out the E shuttles when a cop comes up to me and demands fo see my pictures. I have no shame in doing what I do and showed him my pictures and told him what's up, he then tries to grab my phone (guessing to delete the pictures), he got tight when I refused to let him touch my property, thten he said I was "conducting surveillance" because I didn't let him see the pictures (which I did, I didn't let him rouch my property though) and I asked for his supervisor. He then grabbed me by my backback and pushed me to a fence which he made me hold onto for about 10 minutes while he got the supervisor. Then once he showed up and I explained it all, they talk for a couple seconds and then the first cop tells me I'm free to go. What a joke... not fanning shuttles at their terminals again with all the cops and TA around. Last time I was catching a shuttle by Citi and this plainclothes guy with a detective looking badge (might have been a dispatcher badge now that I think about it) tells me I'm not allowed to take pictures of the buses, that time I legit had sh*t to go to so I just listened to him and left.

ttcsubwayfan Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share #141 Posted May 4, 2014 You know what I hate? Suspense. I'll be off to Bratislava again in 2015 (either July or September) and there's a TON of stuff I want to photograph. Some of it is scheduled for replacement before hand, some is scheduled to stay around, and some I have no idea. And that pisses me off - I hate not knowing if a vehicle I want a photo will be kicking around when I visit; either retire it or keep it (one of these will happen, I just wish it would happen sooner), it's the waiting I can't stand.
