Nº3: How the French go on strike every two weeks.
I actually find it quite cool that you in France protest against things you don't like - that's the way of interpreting democracy I wish we'd also have here. We Germans just accept everything the government or corporations tell us or do. They could raise the weekly working time to 50 hours and the retirement age to 75 while lowering wages 30% - and noone would give a ****, everyone would just somehow accept it...
I know it's already like the 4th time I've posted here, but another thing I really strongly
hate is the over-usage of movie quotations especially on the internet.
OK, I'm somehow biased against it because I almost don't watch any movies (2-3/decade) and I stopped watching TV almost 3 years ago, it were those stupid ringtone ads which gave me the rest, and ads generally - there's like 20 min normal program and then 10 min ads and with time they've gradually become worse, my brain couldn't take that anymore. I can't understand how large companies spend thousands of € per second and then produce such awful commercials which turn everyone with an IQ above 50 rather away from the advertised product instead of attracting to it.
Yes, I honestly don't know the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek, and I'm not ashamed to admit that. But what I know is when someone is trying to be funny by using stupid "The Force" etc. babble on totally unrelated topics it makes me want to punch that person right into the face, sorry. The only thing I hate more than that are those brainless "This is Sparta" interjections - usually in ALL CAPS and with at least 4 exclamation marks - if a thing/person/group A is overwhelming a thing/person/group B. People, it's not funny, not cool and above all, it's
not original, get it? Make up your own idioms and don't copy them from crappy movies so that more than the 0.01% that have read the entry/post/comment
and watched the movie get them! [/ends rant]
