I hate it when...

Postby jack » Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:36 am

This is a fun little topic I thought I'd start. Basically, you can rant on about things you hate, and if you'd like, include a little humor in here and there. :)

You can also respond to other people's hates, but it is preferred that you include your own. :o

I'll start us off with a few:

I hate it when noobs at KSFO think they're in charge of everybody and say things like:
EVERYONE LAND AT KSFO NOW


alfa-j cleard 2 take off



When people say things like this it drives me nuts:

HOW TO FLY A HELICPTR??????????


:x


Let me know what you hate, or just what drives you plain crazy! :P

I hate it when people ask stupid questions...

(I could've been a little less vague and/or ranted about many other things, but I'm trying to keep our community respectable. ;) )

What I hate? LOTS of random stuff.

Main thing now? My math teacher from the previous part of the year has left to go have a kid, so I actually have to do my math homework now! :evil: And I apparently have to show more work, too. Which is annoying because of the fact that I love to use calculator programs to do everything. :P

Which brings me to my personal hate list:

I can´t stand if people complain for comfort if the routine they got used to changes so they that they have to accomodate with something different :twisted:
As well as kids feeling helpless without electronical tools :twisted:

Come on folks, let´s make a chain out of that- Hit me with your hate hammer :D

I hate it when Im in the Gym, and the new guys ask for training advice, I give it, they completely ignore it because they wont look like Arnold Schwatzeniegger ( ? spelling ?? ) in a week, and end up with a serious training injury.

I hate it when people have issues pronouncing Arnold Schwarzenegger correctly :)
Though this one is pretty funny because the first part (Schwatzen) is the austrian/german equivalent of "babbling" which seems to fit quite well here 8)

There are quite a few things I hate. First of all, I hate lag, especially when FG has lag.
Then, I hate my computer, witch crashes nearly every day. I do have another computer, but FG doesn`t work on it properly.
Also, I hate 7th grade! I have like a thousand tests every week, most of them are russian tests. But I also hate the fact that next year, there will be even more tests!

I hate it when FG crashes when only a few ft are separating me from the runway before touchdown (that happens mostly when I'm using ILS).
Once i was flying from Phoenix (KPHX) to KSFO, this flight took me nearly 4 hours and FG crashed when I was only 100 ft above the runway. :shock:

I feel the love, Someguy. :D
I hate the fact that as I age, the pace of technology is FAR outpacing my ability to absorb, retain and use new information.
Damn it! I USED to be the MASTER of my computer. Now, I switched to Mac like four years ago, and I STILL feel rather clueless!
Also, I am gaining weight.
I gotta face it. I just hate aging. Jeez.

4 hours!? It should be more like 1-2, if you are flying a commercial jetliner like the 772ER.

I hate it when the iTouch autocorrect doesn't work correctly, like when it changes its to it's, even though both are perfectly valid uses of the word.

I also hate it when your teacher assigns for you to write a short piece of prose, 2-3 pages long. Short maxes out at 1 page IMO.
