Prat of the week again

This time the award is split evenly between the ancient Romans, who (if my knowledge is correct) made the year longer, thus adding to the amount of time I have to wait to see Muse.

 

Damn them, maybe. It might have been the Greeks, actually. Oh well. Damn all of them.

Prat of the week, part 2

This week the unfortunate dope is Orangegirl off the Muse forums. Here’s the deal: during a USA tour with My Chemical Romance, most of MCR and their roadies came down with serious food poisoning (Muse themselves were unharmed, thank god). As a result, a few of the shows were cancelled. Clearly outraged, miss Orangegirl decided the most reasoned, articulate thing to do was post this:

devastating. i shelled out 40 bucks and took a bus and 4 trains to get to the show in worcester, MA. muse was a no show. instead, i got to see some crappy band i’ve never heard of. sometimes it’s cool to see new bands but, in this case, it wasn’t cool at all. food poisoning? suck it up boys. i used to live in worcester and, despite the fact that it’s an absolute hellhole, there have got to be at least 100 drug stores there. hey muse: stop being pansies and go get some immodium ad. i promise, it works…tried and true, dolls. i bought my ticket in february and i have been looking forward to this for months. when i found out you wankers weren’t playing, i got all teary eyed. why make a pretty, smart, funny, charming, sweet girl cry? far as i’m concerned, muse owes me 80 bucks for my ticket and transportation as well as a t shirt. i felt ridiculous buying a ticket just to see the opening band (again: can anyone tell me why they were OPENING for my chemical romance? should’ve been the other way around) but i did it anyway. i wanted to see muse that badly. so, how long do i have to wait until they come back around massachusetts? you guys owe me…hook me up with a backstage pass so i can reprimand you in person. big, wet, sloppy kisses boys. get well soon.
It was not long before the flaming started. Even myself, normally a timid lurker in threads like these, got stuck in:
As almost everyone has said, you can’t “suck up” food poisoning. And even if they did, you can’t expect them to play a decent gig when their crew is shitting bricks.

“pretty, smart, funny, charming, sweet”? This muscular, handsome, intelligent, smooth talking, awesome-at-bass-guitar young man is shocked at your big-headedness.

Muse owes you 80 bucks? For an MCR show?

Finally, they can’t give backstage passes to EVERYONE who missed out. Thats just stupid.

However, it was ‘Nincy Face’ who hit the nail on the head, stating simply: “Dimmest Muser around”.
Enjoy the award, you dunce.

Prat of the week award!

In the first installment, this dubious honour goes to…

 

THE GUY AT PIZZA HUT WHO WORKS AT THE MAKE TABLE!

 

His crime against me? As I was innocently stacking freshly washed pans whilst humming Tenacious D songs, he came along and, in the absolute most patronising, condescending tone of voice I or anyone else is likely to hear, slurrs “Uhhh, what are you doing?”

It turns out I was stacking them on the wrong shelf. Fair enough. My bad. I’ve never done it before. But this guy was acting like I was lying face-down in the middle of the kitchen, hitting the nearby ground with a spatula and whistling the Benny Hill theme. I have never felt so patronised, especially from someone who, by simply looking at him, you can tell has a World of Warcraft account. 

 

Sickening. I will not be spoken down to by someone who is in his twenties and still has worse acne than me.
