Police that run from criminals
I believe that they should do the same thing to such people as what one does with soldiers that are cowards in the face of enemy because it's essentially the same thing.

[rustyshiv]

People that have the last name "Black", but they're actually white

People that have the last name "White", but they're actually black

People that have the last name "Brown", but they're not mixed:confused:

People that have the last name Jew and aren't J... wait.

[Grumpy Cat]

People that have the last name "Black", but they're actually white

People that have the last name "White", but they're actually black

People that have the last name "Brown", but they're not mixed:confused:

Try having a surname that is more common among the black population in your city than the white population and not being black or having any black blood. Showing up for job interviews and seeing the looks on their faces is hilarious!

It's worse for my cousin Tyrone, though. :D

[rustyshiv]

Having a name like Homeboy Mcjewesstein:(

[Grumpy Cat]

I should say I do that all the time, too, though. I'll get a resume from a guy, assume he's from a certain race and when he shows up to the interview, he is not.

Like a lot of East Indians I have met with English-sounding names, and also Portuguese-sounding ones as well, so I naturally assume they are white... even ran into a white guy with an Arab sounding name (he was Bosniak, I guess?) once and was like O_o

I also have a friend who married a white guy with the last name Wong. That'll throw you off.

Just another day in my life. Compounded by the fact that I keep up with the old Sting-rule.

"A gentleman will walk but never run."

I don't see why I should run in order not to miss a bus or train when it makes me look like a complete idiot. There is always another one.


well, if I didn't have classes scheduled at a particular time, I wouldn't really care, but I do and I hate being late, so I'd rather look like an idiot running to the bus than the one walking into class late :p

[The Lawspeaker]

I couldn't care less when I arrived late. "Alright.. sorry. Missed the bus."

Big Bubba'll abuse him and make him a prison bitch, no worries.

Abusive men don't last long in the slammer; it's kind of a prison code of justice to turn abusers, molesters, rapists, etc. into bitches. That's why you tend to find these lowbrows in solitary or protected custody- they're marked men in genpop, marked for abuse at the hands of the "honorable" criminals.

Well, I have to shamefully admit, I am like that with people. I mean, I don't show it outright but I don't like it when my friends are friendly with people I don't like. I usually just brood about it in silence instead of lashing out, though.

There are very few people I dislike, though, in real life or online. You have to be a real douche for me to dislike you. I can even count on one hand the people in the anthroforum world I don't like.

Being an initially unsuspecting member of a forum where you discover that the proprietor entertains the delusional misconception they own your mind, body, and soul. They even go so far as to stalk you wherever you can be located online... This kind of crap really grinds my gears.

Worse when the ice is under the snow and you slip while holding a shovel full of snow. :mad:

But yeah, ice sucks. I couple years ago, I slipped on ice and landed right on the back of my head. It was weird, I went to the grocery store to buy things and I couldn't remember the PIN number to my debit card so I had to use credit, also couldn't string a sentence together in English... so I decided to go to the ER and there I couldn't remember my own phone number, my mother's phone number, or address and I couldn't speak English to the nurse... and yeah people who have heard me on Skype know I speak English like a native speaker, so yeah, I had a bad concussion.

[Furtive Feline]

I walked out my front door, slipped on the steps, and broke my knee. That was couple of years ago, now I'm waiting for surgery. Which I do not want to go through.:(

[Grumpy Cat]

Well for my heartburn, I didn't have any antacids and the store is closed, so I tried drinking water with baking soda...

... that is very gross, so I decided to put some rooibos in there for flavour, which resulted in happenings reminiscent of 8th grade science class.

[The Ripper]

The snow, the ice, I can handle it. Its the bitter cold that is getting me. It has been below -20 celsius for a few days now, and public transport is a bitch. Having to stand an extra 15 minutes on the bus stop is no treat when the wind is blowing into your face, making the tempretature felt on your cheecks closer to -30.

Along the same lines, reverse Turing tests aka CAPTCHA. I find them a pain in the neck to be honest.


CAPTCHA is a form of reverse Turing test. Before being allowed to perform some action on a website, the user is presented with alphanumerical characters in a distorted graphic image and asked to type them out. This is intended to prevent automated systems from being used to abuse the site. The rationale is that software sufficiently sophisticated to read and reproduce the distorted image accurately does not exist (or is not available to the average user), so any system able to do so is likely to be a human.

Software that can reverse CAPTCHA with some accuracy by analyzing patterns in the generating engine is being actively developed.

Phone companies that insidiously call me hiding their number (probably to avoid showing the number is from somewhere in America) and disturb me with propaganda with a sudaca speaker (for spaniards, as you already know, their voices and version of spanish, in particular a castilian, are disturbing and irritating).

Some of them even try to control their pronunciations and imitate a true castilian, knowing this previous fact.

It is still more ridiculous for a spaniard listener.

The sad thing is that the main companies that does that is spanish. Telefónica.

I must admit that the phrase "to be honest" grinds my gears a bit. Now, I know full well that Anglos and Anglophones who use it, don't use it to mean, "otherwise I am dishonest all the time", but I still cannot help being taken aback for half a second every time I hear it.

Now I am probably going back for a quick visit at the end of the month and guess what: "Well.. err it is supposed to be working." -- "We can offer you a credit card for just 24 euro's a year."

Yes.. thanks a lot but I want something that works and not something that gets me in trouble in England if I would get myself pick-pocketed there and I am sure as hell not going to pay 24 euro's a year on top of it all because you people don't do your job properly.

I've seen this today in a football match. The goalkeeper of the losing team went for the ball and when he got closer to the public of the rival team, I saw infamous faces insulting and laughing at him, who behaved correctly and did his best. Note that my sympathies went for the winning team.

Is a shameful behaviour to laugh and humiliate the loser, in particular when this one has fought with honor and dignity.

I learned to quit talking shit when fighting and keep a clenched mouth. :D

I got in a car accident and the force of the airbag deploying broke my jaw.

Undeclared wars initiated by abuse of Presidential authority. Of course, for this very reason, it can always be claimed that these campaigns are not wars. According to the Constitution,wars must be declared by Congress. Inasmuch as these conflicts have not been declared by Congress, they are not wars.

By this reasoning, the United States has not been at war since August 14, 1941. What a shame that there were so many peace-time deaths in our armed forces in the second half of the 20th century in remote places such as Korea, VietNam, the Middle East !

Customs officers. And I dislike the Dutch customs a hell of a lot more then the Brits. Fucking twats had a queue running half-way across the customs hall of Schiphol Airport and had only two desks open (while four flights had arrived shortly after each other). British customs (on Birmingham of all places -- and my girlfriend had told me that they would be nasty folks - but they weren't.) on the other hand were actually very polite and efficient. Passport checks were quick and they actually gave me directions.

The Dutch really took their time to study individual faces.

Because states exist and, however poorly, exercise control on behalf of their subjects as to who comes in and out of the country. Otherwise crime, disease, political and religious radicalism would spread all over without check.

Once??? Canadian customs are always anal. They actually ruined my childhood: one Christmas we spent in the US, when I was a little kid as still believed in Santa. Anyways, "Santa" gave me and my sister new surf boards that Christmas. When my parents went through customs, the officer made my father name everything he bought down there, and one of the things was two surfboards. From then on, I knew Santa wasn't real.

When I was a little kid, we took a trip up to Banff, Alberta. My stepfather made sure to fill an ice cooler full of his favorite beer, Coors, after fearing that it would not be sold in Canada.
When we tried to get through Canadian customs, they noticed the empty Coors box in the back of the car.
To make a long story short, he was told that he could not take Coors into Canada, for whatever reason.
For at least 2 hours, we sat in the parking lot, as my stepfather tried to drink all of his Coors beer, in defiance of the customs office, until he was so drunk, that he was yelling obscenities at them. My mother took control of the situation, telling him to throw the rest away. She ended up driving us through the border, with a promise to the Customs officer, not letting her asshole husband, cause any trouble in Canada. :D
