ca_gere Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 A particular brand of selfie is fast becoming my pet hate. The 'mirror-selfie-where-the-selfee-looks-intensely-at-the-phone-screen-instead-of-at-the-mirror' I can't quite put my finger on why I hate it so much. Besides the narcissistic nature of selfies, maybe it's the illogical way the taker goes about this one. Surely you can get the framing right then look away from the phone for a split second to pose for the photo? I'm not even gonna dignify this silly behaviour with an example. I'm sure everyone's seen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 the narcissistic nature of selfiesCos of this, do you really think they trust themselves to look away from their phones for a split second? In that second they might grow a third eyebrow or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure everyone's seen it. The faux nonchalance of it fucks me off. "Meh, I don't mind if someone is taking my photo.. I don't even care. #obligatoryselfie" It's as though there's a facade of indifference when you know that the photo is the result of countless failed attempts and retries. xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 A work colleague of mine today shockingly announced that her iPhone memory was full of pics. She has over 5500 on there and I will guarantee that includes over 2000 selfies. I've never seen anyone take as many pics of themself. I'll be on a bus with her chatting away and next she's fixing her hair whilst using her phone as the mirror and before you know it that's another five added to the collection. It's fucked up.

Spoonie Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I've seen them! The filth on that handset would blind you. She was showing me some pics one day and before you know it she's gone one too far and it's a video of a guy pulling the heid aff it. Not eat when you're eating your lunch!

Soda Jerk Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Since I stopped paying for gas/elec by Direct Debit, I pay much less than I used to. I give meter readings every month, then pay for the exact usage online at the end of each quarter. Before that, the amount they would take automatically in a Direct Debit was quite erratic, and always way more than I would be expecting, but my account was never in credit. Bollocks to direct debits. Companies never stick to direct debit agreements either, and just take your money whenever they want. Often way earlier than agreed. Dicks.

waltz Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Pan pipe cunts on sauchiehall street.IMO, terrible aspiring singer-songwriters (who are often filmed, presumably for a "i've wanted this all of my life" X Factor package) are so much worse. So earnest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Aye there's a lot of Nutini cunts speckled about sauchiehall and Buchanan street who boil my piss but I can hear the panpipe cunts from my flat due to the piercing nature of their terrible music. There's also used to be a saxophonist I could hear who fucking murdered Baker Street more than once. I'm on the fucking 10th floor! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Sky. Mine stopped working 2 weeks ago. Waited 2 weeks for the engineer to come out. He has a quick look at the back of the box, gives the wires a quick snip to see if it's the connectors, and says "Yeah, it's knackered". Gotta wait another 2 weeks for an external engineer to come out. SHITE. It wouldn't be so bad if SkyGo wasn't the WORST. But it is totally the worst. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 The problem I have with Sky is the series link. What a piece of shit. It randomly stops recording stuff halfway through a series, if a program goes on a mid-season break it doesn't pick it back up again when it restarts, and if a new series of something starts and you were recording it the series before it doesn't carry over. Fucking useless. I've missed so many episodes of Storage Wars. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By liking the post I would be laughing in his face and basically saying "Ha, Ha!" you don't have Sky.

Stroopy121 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 My shite body - I have now been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, as well as having an underactive thyroid, epilepsy and IBS. Pissed off doesn't cover it. I eat quite healthily (rarely have take-outs, I eat more veg now than I have ever done), I go to the gym and I'm not a big fat cunt. I'm a bit chubby from my thyroid, and the effects of my epilepsy medication. Cue foot stomping and "it's not fair" That is baws. . Have you seen the documentaries Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (1 & 2)? They're about juice-fasting for a few weeks/days and the effects it can have on your system. Dude who made it basically cured his own diabetes and various other chronic health problems. Worth a look, if only out of curiosity. I did a juice fast for about a week before my wedding and shredded about 2 stone in that time. Slowly declined back into shitty eating habits after, but it might help you out a little? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
