    Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

    When, in a movie, a driver gets into an accident or nearly hits somebody because they were looking at the person in the passenger seat.

    Nobody ever does this, I'm sorry. I know people might glimpse over for half a second for whatever reason, but you don't have a conversation, stare into their eyes for five seconds, and then let the passenger be the person to notice something in front of them, point and shout "LOOK OUT," and have them swerve or brake just before possibly hitting something.

    I don't like it when it becomes a plot point, especially. Knowing that the film's fate would have been so much different had it not been for an idiotic driver is pretty annoying. I wish writers would ditch this concept completely.

        Haha, well I was about to say that there's also the opposite effect... they look at the passenger and there is no consequence to either one of them, which is every bit as unrealistic, as if it's commonplace for people to drive like this. Normally, this would happen in a film which doesn't warrant accidents (some sitcom or low-key drama, etc.), but then 2 Fast 2 Furious goes above and beyond the issue by embracing such "talents."

        Plus, he got that from Tyrese Gibson.

            I use to think that until 3 days ago when I was driving behind somebody that was doing that. So yeah, some people really do that.

                Who said anything about my face!?

                It's actually right by my left earlobe. Probably from shaving the sideburns I don't really get breakouts on my face, thankfully. Always felt bad for people with bad acne.

                    I still have the cocasional redness on my face, but I'm starting to think it may be hereditary. My mother has lupus in her joints and the doctor told her that the redness on her face is a side effect.

                    I all ready have sensitive skin (I could get hit by a ball on my arm or rub my arm, while carrying a cardboard box and it would sort of "Wep" (sp?) up where the box was rubbing. It goes away fast, but it's still crazy.

                    My face sometimes gets red for no reason at all, but it is much worse when I'm hot. I hope It's not a sign of lupus or anything. I had to start shaving my face with an electric razor, because of the reaction to a standard razor blades.

                    I think this is why I get mad when I hear people using lupus in a joke, because I know my own mother suffers from it. Someone was doing it in OT a while back.. it's nothing to even begin to joke about.

                        Mainstreaming memes - It seems like the rest of the internet is catching on and good God have the floodgates open. Memes are cool when its a number you can actually flip through, but when it just pummels your newsfeed then it kind needs to be shot dead in the face.

                          Oversaturation is usually what causes memes to finally die (or at least fade) though, isn't it? (Never Gonna Give You Up as an example).

                            That's usually the case for a particular meme. I'm talking about the ones that are filling up my newsfeed and coming from businesses that cover a whole bunch of different ones.
