Title: Subjects on Which Otherwise Sane People Go a Bit Loopy
Post by: TightEnd on March 13, 2017, 09:08:27 AM
these can be positives or negatives.

for example

people get very exercised about Arsene Wenger, religion and Southern Rail (preferably not all at once)

equally its possible to get very energised by Helen Mirren, Game of Thrones and (for some weirdos) trains

So...

Subjects on Which Otherwise Sane People Go a Bit Loopy.......?

please and thank you

People who think the space outside their house on a public is their own parking space.

Apple vs Android is the one I find baffling.

All my Apple only friends don't care if you have Android, but they are cult like obsessed about Apple products, have to get the new one even though it's no different, etc.

All my Android only friends really really really give a shit if you are an Apple user, it hurts their brain as much as Trump/Brexit does for others. I have a friend who I think must have lost genuine friends because of how angry he gets if you whip out an iPhone.

I love this. Great to get so angry about stuff like this. I'd like to be friends with your friend

so true. almost an /endthread

Met a lady last year who said,straight faced

"I am an apple fan-girl" and proceeded to excitedly demonstrate her apple phone to me before giving a withering look when i told her i was an HTC user and had never had an i-phone and really wasn't too bothered which phone i had, which phone anyone else had and why would you want a watch to access the internet anyway?

Probably speaks to how easy we have it in Western society, and how tribal we are on an evolutionary level, that this is a genuine source of (minor) conflict in our lives.

Mind you, I have a mate who fucking queues for them overnight so he obviously is the worst of the lot.

Where do you keep yours?

Parking


Parking outside other people's houses?
Allocated seats on trains.
Shoes in homes.
NHS services provided by private firms.
EU referenda.
Lord of the Rings.
Being called a racist.

PS Apple owners are the worst.  It is a phone, not an iphone and a tablet not an ipad.  Bet they don't say "I'll pick you up at 7 in my Ford SMax 1.8 Diesel Titanium* ffs or I am sending an email from my Dell Inspiron.  I have had several different phones including an iphone.  Currently got a Samsung, will probably switch back next time.

* though maybe if they had a BMW?

Fridge, though that maybe just to stop the wife moaning.  Can't get excited about it though.  People who put ketchup on inappropriate meals and are over 15 could set me off I guess.

People saying "Notts" Forest instead of Nottingham Forest

Website improvements which make navigation a pain (Yes Virginatlantic I mean you!)

Oh, and Tomato Ketchup is best eaten after being stored in a dry cupboard not a fecking 'Fridge :)

Football rivalry. The healthy banter type stuff is all good but I find the blind hate variety insane. For eg I remember going to the San Siro with some friends when villa played inter. The two sets of supporters were separated by basically a big sheet of perspex. During half time this amazingly beautiful girl standing the other side whipped off her shirt and pressed her incredible bare Italian tits against the plastic. Several moments later after regaining our normal vision we realised she was gesturing to swap shirts. Quick as a flash my mate stripped off his villa shirt and hurled it over and she replied in kind. Her shirt smelt like heaven and my mate quickly put it on.

What a cool story you would think. Only thing was after the game some crazy villa fan came bowling over as we wandered into the city. Dude had pure hate in his eyes and went for my mate, threatened to cut him up and called him an Italian wanker. This surprised everyone as Brian was from Tipton and didn't even like spaghetti bolognese.
