Stupid s*** overheard in random places

Yeah I realise that but this was a British guy in a British establishment. :O

 

I'll openly have conversations with friends about eating dogs/cats/guinea pigs in public that apparently get me really weird looks. I don't eat any of those animals but I see nothing morally wrong with doing it either but people get freaked out when they realize they can't justify their hypocritical position on eating some animals over another. This then gets projected onto the person who brought it up and thus they're some sort of monster.

I do it to freak people out and enjoy myself a bit but I'm sure a good number of people being nosy think I actually do breed dogs to fry them up.

 

I often think about that too, and I agree, the common view on the subject is rather hypocritical. However, I fail to see what relevance that has to our current discussion.

 

That someone left out morality in a conversation about murder for a reason.

 

Let's get back on topic. The stupidest things I've ever heard are when people use internet slang while talking. For example they will say "I has to go now." or "Later NOOBS!" or "POWNED!" or this one guy even used the now classically hated "1337" and so on...

"I can has cheeseburger?"
Yeah...

 

My neighbor is a compulsive liar. He lies every time he talks saying the most ridiculous things. Like "I got that care for 300$" I forget what car he said it was but he kept going on about how nice of car it was and how expensive it was supposed to be. My buddy Josh lives with this Guy named Chris who is also A compulsive Liar... God I don't see why people lie so much I don't care if you owned a Ferrari and a 5 story house that's not gonna make me want to be your friend

 

Overheard some stupid 7 year old in a EB store.

"I want to buy an XBOX 720, it's so powerful What games are out for it? Do you know it has Kinect? COD is on it! I was told that it looks like a PC!" - I really wanted to tell the kid to shut up, or whack him over the head or something. It just pisses me off that's all kids know about these days is COD. CODCODCODCODCOD.

Another time was when I was on the bus home (same day). Two dipshit teen girls got on, they smelt like sun screen when they walked past but anyway... They sit behind my friend and the other was behind me, they started talking about underage marriage and bashing other girls (?). One was saying along the lines "I guess you could get your parents consent, but really I think if you two love each other so much just do it anyway" [I thought, yeah that's going to happen... They were like 14, and apparently this stupid girl's boyfriend was 30] - These type of conversations I hear just annoy me, parents these days must be piss poor... Well not all of them but really?

 

Dude My neighbor said something so close to that I swear.

 

Nice thread!


As someone who works in the restaurant industry, I hear A LOT of dumb things come out of peoples mouths. Usually at brunch and, unfortunately, from the servers themselves. I can't actually think of anything in particular because I hear so much crap on a daily basis, but this little clip sums it up nicely.

That reminds me - there's a local game store called Replays that I go to on a regular basis. One thing that I hear almost every fucking time I go there, is the guy behind the counter trying to explain what store credit means. The people who come there don't seem to be able to wrap their heads around the idea of "store credit". They're like, "So if I get store credit, I could get a Wii or a PS3 game?" "Yes, you can put that credit towards a game in our store." "Could I get one somewhere else?" "No, you can only put it towards a game in this store. We can also give you cash... blablabla..." "But what if I want to buy a Wii game and..." How fucking hard is that to understand?

 

Whoa dude, I once heard on the bus, like there was this 7-year old boy, he said for real that Devil World for Famicom was not a pulse line release but duuuh, dumb little shit, everyone knows there's two versions!!! One pulse line and one with picture label... man, I was totes gonna beat that pre-school prick but her mom was too hot so I was like 'wanna make out' instead and banged that chick. True story yo.

 

Lol you know I would like to quote Albert Einstein "there are two thing that are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe" I love it when people hate I guess cause I hate so many things lol

 

Totes for totally? Oh yeah, I am loving this post.

 

All this 12/21/2012 scare junk takes the cake for me...

 

I did have this conversation in america...

American : So how would I volunteer to work here?
Me : Well I think you you hand your CV to the front desk then they should be able to help.
A : Hey, your English.
Me : I was the last time I looked, but you need to hand in a CV
A : CV? Whats the h*** is that?
M : A Curriculum vitae, which lists your work experience and qualifications.
A : Curici what?
M : Curriculum vitae, it is latin for "The course of my life"
A : Latin? What have those mexicans got to do with anything?
M : No Latin, as in the Romans. Anyway I think you call it a résumé
A : Why didn't you use proper American words at the start?
M : Well that is a French word....
A : The h*** it is, you are a stupid english s*** what do you know about the American language
M : Enough to know that we invented the language...
(American storms off...)

He did appear in an interview, but I saw him and recommended that they did not accept him...

 

Eh the English didn't really invent the English language per se (you weren't really 'The English' at the time of all the linguistic bits were being merged from what I recall) but that is beside the point. The wanker somehow managed to make it across an ocean and presumably graduated High School but doesn't have a clue where Latin originated.

I weep for my country.

Earlier in the week I was talking to the son of the owner of a game store in town that possesses the only prototype of The Last Starfighter for the Atari 800. He claimed several things:

1)Some dude nearby has a Dreamcast capable of playing PS2 and PS3 games (I think he had it backwards but I don't recall there being a DC emulator for the PS3)
2)The XBox 360 uses copper solder (in truth copper is but a portion of the alloy used)

I wanted to correct him but I like sourcing crappy sports games for reproduction use to rock the boat. Apparently you also come off as a cocky ass when you correct someone for any reason these days.

 

Or just stating your opinion, it's rather stupid really. People get so upset over such trivial things.

 

They do and it didn't really matter to me that he was getting it wrong as he clearly is of the type to play games rather than dissect them. He was only vaguely aware that the Dreamcast can play retail games burnt to a CD-R so I can't say I was surprised to hear the 'ol "dude has a 2600 that can play SNES games" line.

His dad sure does know his stuff though.

 

LOL Reminds me of the time a guy I knew told me that his Xbox had a $400 modchip that let him play PS2 games on it.

 

That's called an Xbox with a PS2 taped to the top.
