Pet Peeves v. u mad?

resort fees. they are mandatory, so I don't see why they aren't just included in the price of the hotel room. Vegas is the worst offender, with resort fees running $25-$30. it is really annoying when said fees are for pool access but the pool is closed for the winter. it also includes shitty wifi and bottle water.

agreed. i am finding that more and more people just drive with their brights on all the time...

In the words of the great Peggy Hill:

"I don't know why everybody doesn't drive with their brights on all the time. It's so much easier to see!"

Y'know, I think it's just that I'm annoyed by colloquialisms that I don't use myself. Not saying that it's justified, but there it is. :P

People who have long, loud conversations on their mobile phones...especially when I'm trapped on the bus with them.
 
Also, time for a new thread mods...

It is the currently standing protocol in Second Opinion not to close threads at the 1000th post as updates to the forum software have made it no longer necessary. You may see it being done elsewhere on bL out of habit or nostalgia.
 
My pet peeve is how often this quote is misconstrued (as are most other existential ideas) as run-of-the-mill misanthropy when in fact the point the lazy-eyed Frenchman was trying to get across was that our view of ourselves is influenced by how others see and feel about us. When we attempt to define ourselves, we habitually take into account our relationship with The Other, using it in the creation of the self-hood in what Sartre refers to as being-for-others. "I see myself because others see me." And so at the other end of someone else's gaze is a reflection of myself for which I am utterly responsible for and this inescapable self-reflection of shame (or pride if you're lucky) is grounded outside of me. Ergo, hell is other people.
You are right, of course, but it works so well in a simple form that it's totally understandable that it get's misused so often.
 
Sometimes it can take too long to get a reply on certain forums but most of the time bluelight is fine and i'm happy to be a member! :)

PS. How do I make my own blog on here?
 
Blogs Guidelines should have most of the information you need. Also I believe you must have Bluelighter status before you can start a blog on here. Any further questions, you may be better served to ask in Support.
 
Dog shit!
Got out of driver side of my car and put my foot on ground, mushed it straight into dog shite.
Had to stand on road removing it from all over my shoe as I was about to go into docs surgery. Didn't want to go in stinking of shit.
Then 7 days later, got out of passenger side and same fucking thing happened except going into relative's house.
Then 10 days later someone came into my house with it all over their shoes...........keep calm :X ....I said.....but I was so mad if I had a gun and found those dogs, I would have shot them up their arses along with their owners and made them all eat the dog shit.
:!
