Random things you are sick of... - Dallas Cowboys Forum

I am so sick of...

-video game commercials that don't even show the game itself in action. Just 30 seconds of prerendered computer animation that fools simpleminded people into thinking that's actually what the game looks like and they in turn ask me, "Have you seen the new suchandsuch game. Those are the best graphics I've ever seen!".

That's like having a commercial for a movie but showing scenes that aren't actually in it.

I am sick of....

People going 35 in a 55mph zone or individuals who race to pull out in front of you when your the only car on the road.

road rage!!

Reality shows about famous people... ie: growing up Gotti, Jessica Simpson and her hubby, Britney Spears and her hubby, the Osborns, etc...

I could've lived without hearing how stupid all these people are and how out of touch they are with reality.

I can't wait for Reality TV to tank and for quality entertainment to come back

Automated recordings that constantly call your home, asking you to call them back so you can refinance.

I am sick of not seeing Princess on the board more often.

I am SICK of buying something with packaging that is misleading.

For instance, go to the store, buy one of those spindles of CD's...and you'll find a one inch plastic thingie under the cd's who's only purpose is to make the package look bigger.

It's the potato chips theory of packaging. The bag is 2 feet tall and when you open it, WAAAAAAAY down at bottom there are 11 potato chips.

I pretty much agree with everything that has been mentioned so far.

Throw in the Geico commercials.

Im SICK of.....
watching the news and seeing Mothers & Fathers abusing or killing their kids.

That is my #1...

I can't even watch the news anymore.. I end up bawling my eyes out over children being kidnapped, molested, killed... And then when you find out that it is a family member or that mom was a crack whore that let the bastid in the house in the first place... I wanna pull my hair out and hide under a rock.

I just wanna add that another thing I am sick of is the news and sitcoms playing down or mocking the moral decline in our country.

And I'm sick about not being on the board more so Juke would stop being sick of my not being here....

I'm sick of the offseason.

And oh yeah, of my husband getting on my case about my intentions of watching 55 NFL tv preseason games.

(or is it 56?)

Well, In all honesty, I have to say that I am sick of your being sick that I am sick of you not being here.

And vice versa.

Commercials before movies. I remember the good old days where you had 2 or 3 previews and it was go time.

Now you have five commercials, a theatre commercial, a turn off your cell phone commercial and 12 previews. 7 of which are sequels to movies that were marginal to begin with.

The Son of the Mask?
Transporter 2?

Much of my good old days memories of the movies was at the drive-in.

Some dancing hot dogs, a Blue Racer or Texas Toads cartoon, then on with the show. Previews were usually between the first and second movie.

Dusk to dawn Planet of the Apes, baby.
