People who go on forums and ask for free stuff !!
But then where will I get my free Empire Vanquish from? I mean i'm brand new to this place and sport but i'm already the best and therefore deserve free stuff like the Pros!

Hey I see your sponsored, fancy a new team member - when do i get the free stuff?

(Seriously though, hear hear to that point!)

Can we add to that people who claim they are sponsored, but actually just get a discount on bulk...

this does my nut in, it's like saying that Tesco sponsor you because you got your Lucazade at 4 for the price of 3 that morning. "Supported by..." should be used. pet peeve.

Oh Dear I appear to have opened a can of worms !!...........................................................

We all know what the word "Sponsored" Means - We all get some form of "Deal" from the relevant Company, Its the way of our Paintball World. Unless we are a Top American Team, we are all pretty much in the same boat and "Sponsored" is exactly what it is, we get the help with a discounted price.

Now stop all the Haters !!!!

here are my 10. I have 100's, but....

1. Cats - what's the point?
2. Men who defend cats, and try to say they are anywhere close to the equal of a good dog (ps. have you noticed that men that defend cats have universally never had a dog?)
3. Safety Vultures. The guys that want to make money out of finding 'potential risk' in everything, everywhere.
4. Christian fundamentalists (you guys realise that you're just as bad as those Muslim fundamentalists, right?)
5. The Real Housewives. It wouldn't grind my gears as much if they removed the word 'real'...
6. Bra's that make a woman's boobs look awesome, and then leave you with a couple of half-empty sacks of partially chewed gum once removed.
7. Bad Salespeople.- Money is hard to come by - make me feel good about spending it, or fxck off.
8. Young People (you guys seriously don't know shxt, like, about anything...)
9. Young Parents - The blind leading the blind. We are doomed.
10. ...and this would be my biggest one - People swearing in front of my Mom. I just won't stand for it. I don't swear in front of your Mom. show me the same respect. This is especially annoying if I know the person who's doing it.

No, that isn't what the word sponsored means. lets not change the language to protect the ignorant. in fact, that should have made my list..

11. Letting people off the hook - Learning is sometimes about finding out when you're wrong. Nowadays we don't want to tell people they are wrong, because it hurts their feelings, and as we live in a pvssy society that's, like, really bad..
We want to say that their opinion is valid just because it's what they think.
Well, if what they think is wrong, shouldn't they be told?

I can't agree enough.

What really grinds my gears as well, is the adoption of this whole nerd and geek culture. You're not a nerd, you're sure as **** not a geek, you're a sket that wears a t-shirt and puts on some thick rimmed glasses with no prescription lenses. I've spent 22 years being socially inept, I deserve to be called a nerd, it's the one thing I've got going for me. Don't take this away you hipster pricks.
Wanna be a geek? OK. Let's look at the root of that word.

now bite the head off a live animal and live up to what you're trying to be or jog on.
