collegehumor: The Internet’s 25 Biggest Pet Peeves  10. People Who Ask Questions During Movies Dear people who ask questions during movies: We get it. Some movies are confusing. We know that guy’s talking, and no, we don’t know who he is either, or why they’re now asking that guy who works at a dock. If you just shut up for half a second, maybe we can both find out. Love, everyone. 9. Hipsters The word “hipster” has been broadened so much it’s hard to tell what it really means anymore. It could be people who wear straw trilbies, or people who drink PBR, or people who like Garden State. All we can know for sure is that people’s quirks invariably annoy other people. 8. Loud Chewing… The sound of people enjoying food is maybe one of the best ways to no longer enjoy it yourself. “Look at me, I’m eating food!” is what they’d say if their stupid mouths weren’t full of food.  [click for more]

philphys: “And love itself is worthless when it is merely possessive; it is then on a level with work which is merely pecuniary. In order to have the kind of value of which we are speaking, love must feel the ego of the beloved person as important as one’s own ego, and must realize the other’s feelings and wishes as though they were one’s own.” -Bertrand Russell, Marriage and Morals
