iHaTePiNk.com! - A Couple of Things That Bother Me
oh the blinding pinkness
 
 Monday, December 11, 2006
  1. When someone says something that is just totally ridiculous because they are clearly underinformed and thus making incorrect basic assumptions, but doesn't let you debate with them or explain anything at all, just repeating the same blatant BS over and over to you, and then swings a "I was once a Mensa* editor for xx years" at you like that means anything. Yeah, he's probably really smart, but that doesn't mean he knows EVERYTHING and is right about EVERYTHING ...
  2. When you're hanging out with friends and a guy amongst them whom you hardly know takes excessive pictures of you thinking you're not looking. You already get the vibe that he's a closet perv, and during the course of hanging out you see him blatantly taking pictures of another dude's girlfriend's cleavage hoping that people are too drunk to notice. He continues to snap picture after picture of you ...**

* Before I knew what Mensa was, and heard the word, I thought, "What a dumb name for a club. It sounds like 'menses'. Geez."
** I was so creeped out I didn't even WANT to take ANY pictures all night. Ew.

You know, the cutoff for Mensa isn't so astronomically high. I just looked it up, and you have to be in the top 2% of some intelligence test. I would think that you're probably comfortably able to qualify for that club as well. Personally, I never figured out why you would want to join. I never figured out what they do...

The sun is only a piece of sand in this universe, and the Earth is only a spec of dirt on the sand. So, how big can a person's ego be? Street smart doesn't mean anything.

1. He ought to be smart enough, then, to know what a logical fallacy is and why using them in disagreements is intellectually dishonest and counterproductive.

2. Eek. That sounds like me.

Wait a minute...it's perverted for a guy to take pictures of a pretty girl? Or a girl he thinks is pretty, anyway.

Obsessive and rude, certainly, but to claim perversion we'd have to know what he does with the pictures. And that's something it's probably not worth finding out.

Chester, let me know if you want to trade pictures.

Chester: the fact that you've just "admitted" that you resemble the description of creepy camera guy immediately disqualifies you as a "closet" perv (plus, I don't believe you). The out-in-the-open pervs, hey, they joke about it, talk about it, it's all good, it's all open, and likewise I can openly tell them to please not take those kinds of pics of me. But if you confront a closet perv, they'll most likely get all defensive.

I felt bad after I had that creepy experience, cuz I wondered if I'd ever caused others to feel the same way since I'm constantly snapping away ...

Donnie: I guess the creepy part of it all is that he was trying to be sneaky about it. Yeah, I'm not interested in finding out what he does with the pics.

it doesn't matter WHAT he does with the pics. It matters WHAT he was taking pictures OF. If he really was zooming in on cleavage (like I accidentally did when I was filming Carol walking down the aisle, oh man, I will squirm in embarrassment for the rest of my natural life for that) then he is a pervert. Doesn't matter what he does with the pics.

If he was just taking a picture of a pretty girl, picture's grayer.

Caro, you are "subtle" when you snap pics (which by the way most of the time people notice, we just pretend not to 'cause we're all dying to get a great candid shot of ourselves). Your deviant tablemate was "sneaky" which is why you got the icks watching him. :-D

Yeah, I'm not actually even creepy in the way I take pictures.

If a guy's obviously being pervy about it, you should call him out on it. Ask him, out loud, if he usually treats group social events as opportunities to collect more material for his masturbatory fantasies.
