My Pet Hate

[imported_QuietSilence!]

or even worse 10 page at the end!!!!!

dont care if they bend a paper back as long as it isnt so bad that pages start to fall out

but its sucks when they do it to a hard back

This has annoyed me for years. I think of this post as a catharsis.

I hate it when people open a hardback book, bend the spine until the two covers touch each other and break the spine of the book.

It annoys me when it is done with paperbacks, but when it is done with a hardback it really gets me deep down.

I don't know why this is but I just find it very difficult to watch. In fact the sound it makes is even worse.

Sorry about that, but I feel better now.

ggrrrrrrr...I hate that. It's such a stupid and disrespectful thing to do. It's even worse, though, when it's one of your favorites that you've read many times and taken excellent care of for years, and someone picks it up and does that, ruining your book in the two seconds you're not looking. I'm seething just thinking about it....

Last time I borrowed a library book was about 6 years ago and some pages inside looked as though they had been wiped with a baby's bottom! I've bought them or borrowed them from people I know ever since.

Its sick how people have no repsect for public property

Yes ,these people should be shot in the head!
I've seen some nasty stuff with library books, some of them look like people have been using ham for bookmarks!

I always noticed how bad books in library were treated...but...a few years ago...I found a book...that had yellow stains and the middle hundred or so pages were wet...after that I never went back again.

hmmmm....library books???? why would i borrow something that someone has wiped their kid's bum with, or bookmarked with a ham (i love that image LOL hahahahaha) when i can go out and buy it (or download it) and then its mine, i can read it whenever i want and i don't have to put up with those cranky bloody librarians to boot....cos i know that they're gonna blame me for the baby crap and the ham abd they'll probably say i dogeared the bloody pages and wrote in the margins with a f!@#$%n crayon!!!!!!!

GOD I HATE LIBRARIES

btw thanx for starting this thread i really needed to get that off my chest...

Well, I don't particularly like libraries ( the book you want is ALWAYs borrowed 5 minutes before you came, too much people in here, and so on...) but you have to remember that books are so f***ing expensive and e-books so hard to find on Kazaa! I mean , I've finally finished downloading a e-book after waiting 2 weeks before finding 1 source!!!

I still find the ham bookmark image funny.

I had forgotten it and had another wee laugh when I came back here.
