Things that piss you off Page 1,406

Let's face it folks it's all about numbers. I did some reasearch on Batten's Disease for a project I was doing. It's a rare neurological disease so gets hardly any funding. Most of the cutting edge research was actually being done by the parents of sufferers. That's right, amateurs who had immersed themselves into the topic and usually new more than the doctors. They also raised funds for laboratory research.
And that's it. If your loved one has contracted a particularly rare disease then it's unlikely it will be delved into until the more common diseases have been eradicated or surpressed to such an extent they are easily treatable.
So if anyone does get's one of these dreadful illnesses better hope it's a popular one or you're basically f**ked!

There's a pretty loose interpretation of what constitutes 'no make up', and some other women are outraged about what they see as cheating.

It is pretty scary stuff, when it first started happening, I was like 'Oh noes, all my female friends are dying of cancer, look at their ravaged faces' and then I was like 'Phew, it's coz they don't have any pancake on'.

I have been a gentleman and pressing 'Like' on each and every one of the selfies, even though I think most of them looked terrible. But it's one of those things you do as a bloke, like the first time you see your girlfriend without make up, you pretend to act all cool instead of screaming 'Who are you? You're not my Mummy!'.

When companies send me a letter that says Hi Hannah or Hello Hannah.
It really grates on me that they are so familiar as if they know me or something. I AM MISS G****** thank you very much you cheeky buggers

Surely no tops/bras photos for Facebook is more appropriate? And then when it's testical cancer awareness time, I can post pics on Facebook without getting put on registers.

I have noticed that a lot of the selfies differed significantly from the usual photos they put up - suddenly the flash function on their cameras mysteriously stopped working - how strange. Silly girlies, if only they were more technical, they could have Photoshopped their way through this.

You think most of your Facebook ladyfriends look terrible without make-up? I tend to think women look 'normal' without it.

Either you're some sort of misogynist, or your friends are unusually ugly, which is far more likely, because you tend to hang out with people who are as good looking as you.

Either you are a massive liar, telling unattractive people they look attractive to make yourself appear all supportive and right on or you have very low standards on physical beauty. Perhaps you like women without make up because they look like men?

Save your white knight routine for the chicks. Your bull won't wash with me.

I think your "most women look terrible" statement will prove to be one of your least popular.

It's our duty as a citizen to look as agreeable as possible, otherwise we'd all be in the street in our vests and slippers.

Some men fancy fellow humans, and some men only fancy women who have spent a lot of money and time looking like blow up dolls.

No matter what society's norms were, I really can't imagine ever fancying a man with an inch of makeup covering his face (although I do like a bit of eyeliner on a boy if it suits him). It's a strange old world.
