Pet Hates thread

When you are in the elevator and is jam packed ,just as when the two doors are about to meet,someone presses the button from outside and tries to squeeze in,even though there is no space.Can be annoying at times.
 
Spouses who declare undying love for their other half on social media. And then the other spouse thanking them and getting mushy. All on social media when they are married and can say these things personally to each other, face to face.

And people liking it and commenting with sh*t like 'awwwwwwww'

Get a life
 
When people on twitter tweet to celebrities something like this:

"Sir please wish me good luck for my chemistry exam. Your blessing is very important to me..."

Especially to Bollywood celebrities. :facepalm:
 
Our Bollywood/Press trying to ape Hollywood/West blindly and ending up look ridiculous.

For example, when Hollywood was) shipping Brad and Angelina as Bradelina, they tried doing this to Abhiskek and Aishwariya (Abhi-ash), Saif and Kareena (Saifina). That is ridiculous and sad on so many levels I can't even start

People who came up with those should face a firing squad
 
When you get home and someone says, "are you back?" :ibutt
 
People walking in corridors who think they own the place and take their time and block everything up.
 
People with no need for them wearing nerd glasses as a fashion statement.

Agree, is that the new fashion? It's annoying, but I don't know if they actually wear them because bad eye sight or otherwise.

On topic: Also people who speak loud on public transport.

I agree, it is common amongst those attention-seeking and melodramatic individuals - usually bimbos - who follow fashion in a workman-like manner, also wearing those glasses without lens present and roll up their T-shirt sleeves - commonly known as "hipsters". I genuinely don't understand why people follow fashion so rigorously and fervently; I can't comprehend why people are so concerned with buying clothing made by designer brands - it is just a name and a piece of clothing which can be easily replicated by another company for a cheaper price but still people buy this type of clothing, usually not caring for how it appears.

Although it may appear this way, I don't think is completely the case. Having gone to a low standard of a school (below 50% most of the time), I have seen many of such attention-seeking individuals and that's why I find them annoying (not exactly hated) who just appear so fake.

I think a clarification is required here. Basically, I forgot to position that post in the correct context and because I didn't I'll attempt to explain myself below:

I don't have a problem with people who wear branded clothing but I think it's slightly confounding when people complain that they don't have enough branded clothing/unnecessarily brag about their branded products, despite arguably having enough. This is what I meant - people are too obsessed with their obsessions and have become materialistic, not caring for the realer issues occurring in the world at the present moment.

I'm at marriage age. I find wearing branded clothing means that I can attract a higher calibre of girl.

In all seriousness though, the style, cloth, cut and design of a branded shirt is far superior to inferior clothing.

Try wearing a shirt from Primark and then an Armani shirt and you'll see the difference.
 
All the branded clothes worth their price are those of which the brand is not visible. I don't think that is what SOPL is talking about.

I still think that he is wrong because the stereotypical hipster, ie anti-mainstream modern hippies that pay a lot of money to get an anti- industrial, cheap and don't care identity, is a strawman.

Was about to say this. The idea that people only pay for brand with no regard to quality is a myth.

Feel the cloth of a genuine RL shirt or sweater and compare it to something you can get from the street markets in Pakistan. A world of difference.

I agree the difference in quality is what makes branded clothes more appealing to me.

Ok cuz that's not how your original post comes across, especially because you're mentioning the price and how it appears rather than people bragging and having too much of a thing.

Either way, it seems you are going through a phase we all have been through at your age.

Hate to say it but sooner or later you will start conforming just like the rest of us.
 
Reminds me of a Tyler quote from fight club where he asks 'why would you want to have a guys name on your underwear?'

More so with shoes. I own 30 pairs ( no homo) and the difference between a cheap pair I use for the gym and a pair of nice sneakers is immense.

Some shoes make you feel like you are walking among clouds. Cheaper ones feel like you are in a New Delhi street. A world of difference with perhaps potential health benefits if you are on your feet a lot.

Its true i was of the same opinion as SOPL not so long ago . Its still annoys me when people judge someone based on what they are wearing . As Akala once said consumerism is our religion .

Yeah i know what you mean . In my experience a pair of 90s last a lot longer and are more comfortable than trainers you could get from Asda .

It's about durability as well.

If you can pay $200 for a pair that will last you two three years vs pay $50 that will only last a third of that... You're better of in the long run to spend a little extra on the quality item.

This is something that probably bothers me more than anything else i have posted here

People who come late during jummah prayer, but still feel its their right to push through the lines during the khutba and take a front row spot by making everyone squeez up. Its almost always the same people, it really annoys me.

Had someone at work who used to do that whenever we'd go for Jummah and then at the end would always remind me about the hadith that speaks of the benefits of the first row.

I am sure you're doing it wrong if you're coming in late and pushing through.
 
More to do with coming early to the masjid than physically being present in the first row.

Price is inflated by brand name too. Dior jeans are worth every penny but D&G jeans are overpriced crap for example.

It's not that I've not worn/do not wear such clothing (although I restrict my budget and don't purchase products with an excessive cost - such as buying Jack and Jones jeans simply because of the presence of the brand name) but I just feel many individuals, particularly teenagers, only purchase such products because of the name and not actually because of the quality or individuality (i.e how it appears upon them and how unique the product is - I've often found that people appear to buy Superdry far too regularly, nearly everybody just seems to buy one therefore making what them seem extremely boring and almost as if they are impulsed into buying a jacket with a simple name.

The first statement I agree with, it is not the over-excessive purchase of extremely expensive clothing I'm a little dubious of: rather, it is the products which are cheaper and perhaps only bought because of their brand name and not their quality/appearance.

By the way, can you please explain what the term 'strawman' means?

This is a point I adamantly agree with and don't doubt for a singular moment. However, at times I feel people buy blindly and are simply coerced into purchasing a product from a certain company because of the existence of the brand name upon the product itself, rather than actually caring for the quality of the product.

DeadlyVenom said:

Haha, I understand what you mean (at times I can appear a little discontent/angry with the lack of individuality and prevalence of a collective coercion in society).

However, I believe it is a requisite to mention the most dissatisfactory state I was in yesterday. After not having read any prayers (both the Qur'an and namaz - I finally prayed Jummah today and I'm hopeful that I can escape from the rut I was in for a few days running) for a total of three days, I felt quite like trash and quite negative - which is most likely the reason for my low quality of posts yesterday (throughout the forum) and my general lack of productivity, both upon the forum and in the real world itself.

I removed the earlier part of your post due to the belief that I think it has already been answered but I'd specifically like to make a point on this declaration: I have to say that I agree, I will be most likely to fall into the trap but I don't think I'll be as obsessive/excessive with attaining branded clothing as much as others.

I'm afraid to state that I agree. Many individuals do seem guilty of committing such an unscrupulous act - as DeadlyVenom stated, I think it is much better for people to attend the mosque early for prayers rather than emphasising being upon the first row of the prayers.

A similar occurrence which irks me is when one enters the mosque for prayers and with it being full, people are left standing due to people being reluctant to sacrifice a small amount of their space and the extent to which they are comfortable. So damn annoying when you walk into the mosque and everybody sees you standing but virtually nobody offers you a space (despite their obviously being potential spaces to sit if each person budged up an essentially insubstantial amount).

True. There's a balancing act for sure.

I'd never pay any amount of money for the over priced luxury brands for instance.

Thanks, although I have to state that it wasn't a major problem at all. It was simply one of those instances where a relatively bad day results in one feeling extremely lethargic (ironic considering it is caused by lethargy) and basically like one can't be bothered to do anything: as a result, your frustration of feeling like trash is often expressed upon things which aren't at all related to the real problem: that is the reason why my post(s) must have been portrayed across as extremely mediocre.

Yeah with clothing its perfectly acceptable to pay a little more...

Another area where people should pay is for electronics...what I do find annoying are people who wear fake Dre Beats headphones...electronics should always be the real thing...
 
Shakyh bro, in your opinion how does the quality of Dre Beats headphones compare to other cheaper, yet good quality, companies?

Personally, I have owned a pair of Sony earphones and I have to state that they are probably the greatest I've ever owned - also a bargain at around £6.

I don't own a pair but they are good headphones...you are however paying for the privilege of wearing Dre Beat Headphones...thing is even if you are brand conscious then the fact that so many fakes are flying around kind of kills that brand...I remember when everyone was wearing fake Ed Hardy's in London...

In terms of headphones it depends what your priorities are...my priority is noise isolation and I invested in some Sennheiser CX400-II...I could pay more but they do what I need them to...

What other headphones have you owned and on what basis are your £6 Sonys the best out of interest?...
 
When a chav starts to resort to urban slang such as 'bruv' and 'innit'.
 
I don't really purchase expensive pairs of earphones (instead of buying headphones, I buy earphones because of their convenient nature) but the ones I'm mentioning (here's the link to them, or something similar: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr...phones&ie=UTF8&qid=1384023094&rnid=1642204031) were the greatest I've ever purchased because of their excellent clarity of sound and the high volume they could produce.
 
Dre Beats are something that supports what SOPL was talking about. The sound quality is so shitty I wouldn't use them if they were offered to me. They are worse than 50$ headsets.

I don't mind people who pay 300$ for headsets even though I wouldn't. But someone who buys Dre Beats is the perfect example of a someone who knows nothing about music but pretends otherwise. They are unbalanced towards heavy bass and the only music you can hear on them is party type pop and hip hop.

ATH-M30, for 50£, are so much better.

This is exactly what I meant previously, thanks. People purchasing products simply because of the brand rather than actually caring for the quality - sort of a form of psychological coercion.

Sennheiser are great, I agree. Whether low budget or high, across the board.

Thing is, if fake ones with bad sound quality can kill a brand, it just shows that the original ones were not that good to begin with.

Well its not surprising its good for Hip Hop...being bass heavy is seen as a plus to some...i made that mistake when I used to own my Logitech Z2300 PC speakers...the presumption was big sub, banging bass so better sounds...its only when i got my new Edifier speakers that i realised how bad the Z2300's were...

I personally think most guys that buy Dre Beats do so for image...

If money was no object then I'd buy these...

Well Dre Beats were marketed to the fashion conscious in the first place...so you were paying for decent headphones at an extorted price to look good...and if everyone has them then they lose their appeal...

Ed Hardy wasn't a bad brand...but fakes killed it completely...

But why would you want your headphones to be so unbalanced?

Anyways, I am not an elitist on the matter. I never buy expensive headphones and, even if I ever buy a surround system at home, I can't imagine spending more than 200-300. I guess I don't really get the "image thing". You get nor the quality nor the cheap price.
