Living on Long Island, I will sometimes have to drive into or through the NYC area, and I fucking hate it so much.

This is basically how I feel.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Badly placed checkpoints in games.
I mean, come on. This one game, WET, had a checkpoint before a cutscene rather than after it, and you couldn't skip the cutscene. Every time I died on that bit, I had to watch it again. Does no one test these fucking things?

The unskippable cutscenes by itself is enough to make me stabby.

When guys dye their hair blonde
The natural sandy colour is cool on naturally blonde guys, but no guy should be bleaching his hair platinum Milky Bar Kid blonde. Not even Orlando Bloom could pull it off, sorry

Politicians who pretend they aren't politicians. Because that's one verifiable lie right there.

Not gonna lie, I get a little in my feelings when gay bars get completely overrun with straight girls... and the douche-y straight guys who follow the straight girls in looking to score.
Am I saying straight people can't enjoy gay bars? Fuck no, come on through with your gay friends, party with us, get your life. I just don't like when it gets to such a degree that this LGBT space, the whole point of which is for gays and GNC folk to (for once) feel a "normal" majority, turns into basically every other bar.
Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's bothersome.

Is it normal for chicks to dye their hair blonde and leave their eye lashes dark?
Not really fussed about the other colours though.
