Quotes that you f**king hate

[groph]

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

- some dumb ....

A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing.

- some dumb ....


Man, quotes kill me. 98% of them are airheaded bullshit. Even Winston Churchill wasn't even that quotable. It's not the people, it's the fact that all of these quotes are out of context and they're thrown around like they're real, genuine wisdom. They might very well be, but once they start showing up on Facebook 35 times a ....ing day they get irritating.

The first one is a classic example of a stupid quote. It's so general it can explain anybody, obviously to have a healthy relationship with somebody you need to be able to tolerate their shittiness. Ms Monroe (they're both her quotes) here just decided she'd word it in the most "high maintenance bitch" way she possibly could and comes off all high and mighty. The second one is just unfortunate. Not really through fault of her own but it's sure sickeningly ironic. She's probably the most masturbated-to person in human history.

Post quotes you ....ing hate in this thread, and explain why.

These quotes about "keep hatin, you makin me famous"


Seriously? SERIOUSLY? Ugh....



Also one my ex used to say "Like me hate me , either way you know me" . Seriously.


Its one thing to not care what people think about you but this is just stupid

'.... it, we're young'


Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise being young was an excuse for acting like an alcoholic, superficial whore.

[Demiurge]

Every time sayings get discussed, I always have to say that the one that chaps my ass the most is, "everything happens for a reason."

It's perhaps just crass to appeal to the notion that we live on a cruel plant hurtling through the cosmos so very very alone blah blah blah, but on the other hand, this level of cognitive dissonance- it's disgusting how people think it's inspiring. To me, it's inspiring to believe that when bad things happen, we are not completely at the mercy of an agency outside of our own- that we still have the ability to do the right thing when wrong things happen.

Yes. All quotes of this nature "You're only young once", "You only live once" etc. These are pulled out all of the time as an excuse to either do something irresponsible or as a way of denying responsibility for stupid decisions. It pretty much sums up a lot of what i dislike about other people and society in general.

+1 You hit the nail on the head with this one as well. Again, it goes along with people not willing to accept reality or take responsibility. Absolutely frustrating

Yes. Similar to "No publicity is bad publicity":

Where is the good for the man who is the subject of this headline:

"Serial rapist captured by police" At the very least his raping days are over

[MFB]

"Not all who wander are lost"

And that stupid ....ing Bob Marley quote about people mistreating you and find the ones who are worth it or something like that. It's gotta be on ONE of your friends FB accounts.

[kung_fu]

All of the quotes i've ever shared on FB were either excerpts from jokes, conversations i've had, or quotes from movies. Nothing profound either, think Dumb and Dumber quotes .

[MFB]

Ah, here it is :

"The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for."

Perfect. Starts off with a bleak view of mankind and ends in a sort of masochistic truce.

Oh yeah, this one. Not all who wander are lost, but they still may very well be going ....ing nowhere!

Never heard this one before. On the surface, it's poetic, but under further scrutiny, it seems like the motto of a real high-maintenance, self-involved bitch.

[nostealbucket]

Something that sounds like it should be in a Lil' Wayne song... Like dealing with time, money, cars, and being famous, even though they aren't famous, but they are a clear facebook whore.


.... you, bitch, meh shirt brand new.

[kung_fu]

Ah "Strangers are just friends you haven't met". Ever run into one of these people? They'll talk your ....ing ear off

[Waelstrum]

I'm just going to list a few kinds rather than go into specifics, as there are tons:

Any quote that is an appeal to authority used in an argument, because the sort of person who does that generally doesn't understand the irrelevance of what they're saying. eg The American constitution as a whole. It's not infallible, guys.

Any quote that misses the point to the extent that it means something other than the intended meaning (bonus points for making it mean the opposite). eg 'Neither borrower nor lender be' - Shakespeare. It was said in a play by Polonius, a character who was miserly and a bit daft, and by saying that line old Willy was actually saying that it is perfectly acceptable to give loans.

Quotes that are said in an obviously contrived trying to sound meaningful or inspiring way. You know the ones. They're on Facebook all the time, and it is annoying a million more times than inspiring. I can't remember any specific examples, as (somewhat ironically) they are rarely memorable.

Misquotes. These can be really annoying, especially since they are often combined with one or more of the above kinds. They can be deliberate or accidental. I'm more forgiving of accidental ones, like when you attribute it to the wrong person, or misunderstand the sentiment of the original message. However, when it's deliberate it really pisses me off. In this category I'm including the omission of words that twist the meaning, even if it is technically a direct quote. (I realise this is similar to the second problem, but that is more taking things out of the general context, rather than the immediate context.) eg "To suppose that the eye…could have been formed by natural selection seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree" - Charles Darwin. Here's the rest:

To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei, as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science. Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certainly the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case; and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the theory. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself originated; but I may remark that, as some of the lowest organisms in which nerves cannot be detected, are capable of perceiving light, it does not seem impossible that certain sensitive elements in their sarcode should become aggregated and developed into nerves, endowed with this special sensibility.

NB: Don't turn this thread into an evolution debate, I was merely showing a particularly annoying quote.

EDIT: Also, The Simpsons, Little Britain, Monty Python, and Portal. This kind of thing (that I'm very guilty of) where someone quotes someone else's joke to make themselves seem funny. (And yes, I am paraphrasing Yhatzee, what of it?) eg: 'The cake is a lie'.

"The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself."

Right, so if I snuck a ....ing lion into your room while you slept, you'd be cool with it and not scream your head off? Bitch, please......

[Uncreative123]

This pretty much sums it up for me:

[ScrotieMcBoogerballs]

It'd be nice to log on facebook without having to see 10 girls quote Marilyn Monroe. Maybe that's why I deleted 200 of my friends...

I think the only truly quotable person is Andrew W.K. "PARTY TIP-Light something on fire."

Bob Marley trying to offer a tonic to his homophobia perhaps?

Why I am always packing heat, nothing to be afraid of

.270 Winchester can take out a lion right?

My Quote though- "they don't make (insert x) like they used to" or "The old ones were SO much better!"

Oh here is another we all can relate to- "Guitar brand x is the absolute best I do not know why other people play anything else!"

Really....?

Just because you finally managed to get something defected means the entire line is bad? Or because you did not take care of it means that it is a POS? Maybe you just do not prefer it? Who knows? Why don't people take others' opinions into consideration about something as well. Also do some research instead and go out in the real world and try the product out themselves. Or just understand that something is different does not make it inferior, just different.

There is no ultimate guitar brand either. Remember that as well...

I just think it is stuff some people say to justify that what they own is superior...

[BigPhi84]

"FML"=".... my Life"


If you got in a terrible car crash and lost both of your arms to amputation, the phrase might be appropriate. If you just ran out of shampoo, .... you for using FML.

[Scar Symmetry]

The Marilyn Monroe quote is easily the most annoying quote. I've seen it on at least 50 girls' facebook. The Bob Marley quote is actually on my facebook as it's something that I myself have observed before seeing the quote, I really don't see a diva side to it.

[Explorer]

I don't do FaceBook, and I don't correspond with teenage girls, only hot yoga instructors, so I'm glad to see I'm not missing anything there.

I saw the title and one quote immediately popped into my mind. It made me laugh to read this thread and realize it fell into one of Waelstrum's categories.

"I think, therefore I am" is one of the most misunderstood quotes. For a guy who put his finger onto the core of virtual reality centuries before it was a concept, he sure has been trivialized.

+1 to your rep, Waelstrum good sir!

This, I hate hate hate hate hate that Monroe quote. So many girls on my Facebook seem to love it, and I can't work out what the hell is so great about it... it's a load of bull.
