5 things on the web that annoy you

Fri Sep 11, 2009, 8:15 AM
Bored today. I won't be over the weekend though. Gonna see some friends then on monday I'm going to a job interview. Fingers crossed for that. Anyway, here's a crappy journal meme that I made for no reason.

Five things on the web that annoy you:

Pick five things that annoy you about the internet and talk about them. No tagging required.

1)Harassment: I'm sick and tired of people spamming others with hateful messages, emails, ect. It's never called for and the reason why its done is always over something small and unimportant. "OMG, you didn't reply to me in ten seconds flat! You must pay you horrible person!" Yeah, yeah, you can baaaw about it all you want in journals or on social sites or to your family if you are that sad. Just don't make a fool of yourself by leaving hate messages telling a person they are "so horrible" when you are the one spewing vulgar things. Also most cases of internet harassment are not caused by trolls. I know that sounds crazy, but it is true. Attention whores are the most likley suspects. I know some people say that attention whores and trolls are the same, but there is a difference. Trolls seek negative attention. Attention whores seek positive attention. So I don't like harassment on the net. It's pathetic and never called for.

2)Attention whores: Saw this coming didn't you? Now don't get me wrong. We all crave for attention now and then. Its human nature. But some people make a freaking career out of it. "Baaaaw, subway were out of meatballs today! I hate you all! My life sucks!" I think this topic speaks for itself really. I hardly see a jounral about something worth crying over. Like, losing a dream job, getting kicked out your home or a family or friend dying. I also don't like direct attention whores who message you all the freaking time and if you miss replying to just one message, or don't reply fast enough, guess what? You are a horrible selfish person who should die. Oh gee, I'm sorry. I didn't know my life was to serve your pathetic needs. Bleh.

3)Forums: It is true, I don't like forums. I find them boring sometimes and its a breeding ground for tards and pervs. A forum is not a good place to meet people either. A social network might be a better place to start for newbies. I also hate seeing hundreds of threads with the same damn topic. There are already thousands of threads on that topic, what makes you think we need another?

4)Dating sites: Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against people who meet their lover online (I've been there myself) I'm talking about bullshit dating sites, their bullshit ads and them charging you money to find your match. I've had a couple of friends try this and they said it was a waste of time. You are better off on social networks like facebook or myspace or even here if you were desperate. Don't sign up to any dating sites that want money. It could be a scam and always read the small text. And besides, people find love when they stop looking.

5)Youtube: This site has gone down the drain majorly. Now they can pull your videos down even if no copywright law was broken. If somebody says they just don't like it, it goes down. Just like that. Also, muting videos is totally pointless. You may aswell just take the video down if it was a music video or a rant. The ads are annoying too. I know thats how youtube make their money, but some of the ads they have are disturbing. Youtube is watched by people young and old so try and keep your ads family friendly for goodness sake...

Well I'm done for now. It's takaway night tonight. See ya whenever.

Forums are usually a pain, the only one I like is the one on my friends site because you can post whatever you want and you can flame the crap out of trolls.

Harassment and attention whoring...it can't be helped even in real life. The most you can possibly do is to try to ignore them as best as possible until authorities can take the person away.

Forums, depending on where you look and the majority of people who reside in it, can be either disastrous or a nice haven.
It pretty much depends on the maturity level and closeness of the people regarding whatever topic is being discussed as the immature ones are set straight or banned completely.

Dating sites I personally think are a joke since they pit two strangers on what's almost a blind date.

Youtube's a hit or miss pretty much >_>


I mainly hate viruses, trojans, etc. as well as spam emails and spam IM messages... it's like, who was bored enough to perpetually annoy people worldwide? Worse yet, scammers who actually trick people into giving their bank accounts to a stranger in Nigeria.

Is it sad that I've been wanting to create a male persona and go on a dating site to see if I can actually attract girls being that I'm a girl, therefore I might know what they want so that I appear irrestible to them? I've seriously been plotting this for years just for shits and giggles just to prove how pointless it is to try to hook up via a website. People lie all the time, especially on their pictures. Funny, she looked like a beauty queen on her profile, but when we met, she was an ogre.

:O_o:

Yes.

I don't even go to YouTube that much anymore, so I don't have much to say, except that nearly everyone with a link in their journal is taking you to YouTube to see some crazy video or something-or-another.

As far as forums go, I only hang out at the ones for conventions I'm attending so I get a headstart on knowing what cosplays to look for and see what friends I can meet up with. Once the convention is over, I tend to go invisible until the next year and just float about collecting pictures on the threads that people snapped of my groups.

Mmm, this is a good idea for a journal. I do like the topics of discussion.

Some forums are ok. I was just talking about the majority. I was on this forum earlier this year and all seemed well. A week into being on the forum I got messages from some unsavory characters who will go for anybody who is available. On the funny side, I still got it baby, whoo.

Not the UK subway ones. Last time I had a meatball sub from there, I had a dodgy stomach for the rest of the day. XD
