Trent B 340 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Smoking is grossI agree. Two of my brothers smoke...they ask if I mind if they smoke when I'm around them but of course I say, "nope go ahead". I don't get too close so it doesn't bother me that much.Dawn smoked a few years ago (way before we met or knew each other) but I'm glad she doesn't any more. My dad smoked a lot a long time ago but between stress and smoking he eventually had a mild heart attack and had to have a five heart bypass surgery. That made him quit cold turkey that day. Smoking definitely is nasty and it's very bad for your health.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,777 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 If anyone else visits joins some of those Poltergeist fan groups on Facebook, your feed is likely to become bombarded with weird posts by people who take these movies way too seriously.Some of these nutty fans are so into it, whether they have lives outside of the Poltergeist fandom is in doubt.I find their obsessive fixation on Heather O'Rourke to be particularly bizarre. Many of them seem to be reclusive men in their 40s and 50s and lonely old housewives and probably relatively harmless, but they can't seem to accept that the actress has been dead for nearly three decades and just move on with their lives. This is the same lot that was outraged at DirecTV using a clip of the "They're here" line from Poltergeist in its ad campaign a few years ago.Their crazy fixation on some of the other deceased actors in the series also borders on excessive. If you simply point this out to them in a matter-of-fact manner, they respond hysterically as if you verbally assaulted them. And don't you dare even think about saying Poltergeist III was a shitty movie! "It woz heather's final moovey god bless her sweet angel!"And I thought SW fans were nuts.Reclusive middle-aged men with a fixation on a child actress sounds way creepier than any of the Poltergeist movies, to be honest.

RedBard 71 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 So basically, these folks obsess over Poltergeist due to some factor arising from middle age?Maybe they're leaving sexual maturity (Hot flashes, anyone?). Or having some kind of identity crisis related to middle age. Whatever the reason, it drives them to obsess over such a movie.This explains why middle-aged women and even grandmothers obsess over the Twilight franchise, too.

Lady Dimitrescu 9,453 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Pedantic and overzealous work colleagues who overthink things and become preoccupied with inconsequential details.They tend to misread instructions because their overthinking has led them to interpret the message differently to how it was intended. As a result, they force everyone to waste their time by solving problems that don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,573 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I don't like people who pronounce the word "mischievous" as if it has an extra letter 'i' between the 'v' and the 'o'. I want them to stop.The sort of inverse of that is when non locals 'incorrectly' pronounce the first 'i' in Scarisbrick, when the common/correct pronunciation is "Scays-brick." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarisbrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inhabitants of Shrewsbury even disagree how to pronounce the name of their own town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crossfader 625 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 SPOTIFY just ruined Vaughan-Wiliams's PIANO CONCERTO for me with not one, nor two, but three of its insanely loud, normalized commercials.If anything, can't they have non-normalized commercials for people listening to more delicate music, and normalized ones for the other kind, or maybe just automatically lower the volume of the commercials for the former? It shouldn't be that hard to label every new CD they plan to host as either apt for loud commercials or not. It only takes a bit of diligence.
