Or equally annoying, when people bash a good MS product just because its' an MS product.

Well that certainly is a fascinating notion.  Which MS product do you think is a good one?

MS finally made one product that doesn't suck...


A vacuum cleaner!

That's hilarious! 

ROTFLMAO

Wal-Mart
Living in a small town where Wal-Mart is, like, the only store.

People of a generally criminal, deceitful state of mind. (Liars and thieves and back stabbers)

People who ask you to do something by making some vague comment. "It would be nice if someone would so-and-so." instead of, "Duke, a little help here. Do the so-and-so, OK?"

Mid-level management with Napoleonic attitude. ("I'm the BOSS now! BWAHAHAHAH!")

OMG I hate Wal-Mart.  Especially when you move a place that's nowhere near a Wal-mart and then 8 months later they build on practically right next to you.  Both the traffic and the newly installed lights have added another 3 minutes to my commute.  Jerks. This used to be a peaceful area.

Don't forget the football field sized parking lots! Chocked full of people who learned how to drive by watching and copying other bad drivers.




Greeter: "Welcome to Walmart Ma'am, and what a lovely set of twins you have there."

Trailer Trash White Woman: "What, are blind or just stooopid? They ain't twins. This'n here is 8 and this'ns 9."

Greeter: "Pardon me Ma'am, but I am neither blind or stupid- I just couldn't imagine you getting laid twice. Have a nice day shopping at Walmart." 

Come on guys, tell us how you REALLY feel about Wal-Mart.

In college, we used to go at 1 or 2 in the morning to do shopping because it was the least crowded time to go.  I always did feel bad about not paying admission for the freak show though...

I don't particularly like Wal-Mart, but I do like their prices on a lot of stuff.  Haven't actually set foot in one for something like a year though, now that I think of it.

Don't you mean the people who will drive around for hours (literally) to get that space up front instead of parking in the back and WALKING?!

well they do have there figures to look out for

Only in America can a person get a handicapped tag for being too godamned fat to walk more than ten feet without suffering a coronary meltdown.

UFB.

Ugh, fatties piss me off too.

if you're too stupid to realize that that twinkie isn't helping your physique then you deserve to be shot.

How hard is it to control your own diet? 

Don't you think that if you have to shop at a special fat people store for your clothes that enough is enough?

I only hate fatties because they always, no not sometimes, ALWAYS sit right next to me when I'm riding public transportation.  What, do I have a sign on my forehead? "Arm fat welcomed." WTF? You deserve to stand biotch!

/rant.

wait for it...

Not stunning, but I'm not fat,  and I go to the gym several times a week.

And if I'm not wrong, I do believe I hit a nerve here.   MEOW!

Oops, and he misses it.  Too bad, kinda got away from him.

I am not what you would consider a "fatty."  I fit in a single coach class seat without bothering the person next to me at all.  However, I don't have the time to maintain a perfect body, and I find people like you who not only obsess over it but act like a complete dick to those with a few extra pounds highly annoying.  You're just as bad as those you rally against.

My beef with the fatties is their lack of will power. Are you obsessive with food?  If not, and you're a little chunky, that's fine.  Clearly from my post above I'm talking about grossly overweight persons who invade my personal space. I think I have a right to have a problem with someone else's fatty ass invading my own personal bubble!

And don't even get me started on not having enough time to maintain a body.

Sometimes it's not about food. A few years ago (about 2000-2001) I gained a lot of weight, suddenly, but my eating habits and diet had not changed. I gained almost 100 pounds over just under 18 months, and my energy level dropped so low that I wouldn't even change channels with the remote, choosing to watch what was on 'cause it was too much work to move my thumb. I kept falling asleep at work. I didn't want to eat, so I didn't, but I kept getting bigger.
Finally, my wife, (after deciding that a year's worth of being angry with me for being lazy wasn't motivating me), made a Dr. appointment.
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, and started on Synthyroid.
The first dose was like your first taste of meth. I was so fired up, I couldn't understand why synthyroid wasn't a street drug, it did so much for me.
Of course, that wore off and my body became accustomed to it.
Over the past seven years I've managed to loose most of the weight I put on, so I'm down to 195 now, but I've got a long way to go to get back to 160, where I was  when i got "sick".

The thing is, sometimes fat people are fat for a lot of different reasons. It has nothing to do with food or personal discipline.

Perhaps you should be a little less judgmental. I promise you, every one of those "fatties" you deride for "invading your personal space" would rather not.
If it bothers you so much, you should move. After all, you're so fit and trim and active, I'm sure it is much easier for you to get out of their way, than it is for them to get out of yours.

Just two things
1. Perhaps many of the 300/400 pounders did get that way by their own actions or lack thereof, but I don't think any of them did it on purpose, and I doubt any of them enjoy it. They know it's not "the seats are too small", They know it's that their ass is too big. But at that point, they need help. And that cost money. Studies have shown that the lower income population tend to be the most obese. (there are several theories as to why), and regardless of attitude or effort, losing 200 pounds is not the kind of thing that happens overnight.

2. When that morbidly obese person sits down beside you on the train or plane, how can you tell the difference between

I have every sympathy in the world for people withmedical conditions that are beyond their control .  I do not have sympathy for someone who balloons up to 300 or 400 pounds because he can't put down the chips and take a walk.

How do you choose whom to be sympathetic toward, and whom to reject.
Believe me, if the solution was as simple as

put down the chips and take a walk

we would not have half the health problems that we do in this country.

All I really want to say is, "Don't be hate'n"
Feel sorry for these people. You don't know how they got to be they way they are, so don't be judging their values or morals or integrity or intelligence or bank accounts by their size.
Yes, some of them probably do deserve your scorn and disdain, and others your sympathy,  but how can you tell which is which.
Give them the benefit of the doubt.

Give 'em a break.
