Oh Twihard fans. Please, sit down a moment. I have some terrible news for you. Are you comfortable? Can I get you a glass of water or ... no? Okay. Here, give me you hands. It's just that, well, how should I put this? Robert Pattinson thinks all Twilight fans do is sit around on their computers all day obsessing over him and the movie. He said this. In an interview. Here, I'll show you the quote. It's a little painful to hear, but you're strong and I know you can handle it. Ahem.

The real odd thing about this Twilight target group is that they aren't really teenagers. Most of them are older. Twilight has its own parallel world, its own fan culture that has been forming on the net since day one. And in an intense way that has never existed before. Sometimes I ask myself what these masses of people do the whole day. They sit in front of their computers and comment on anything having even remotely to do with Twilight. Day and night. So actually really exciting -- at least up to the point when I became part of that phenomenon.

Ew. That really smarts. Rob has this image of his fans as grown-ass women hunched over their computers, doing nothing but obsessing over all things Twilight, commenting on every post, all freakin' day long and maybe into the night. That's not exactly flattering. Kind of makes it sounds like he doesn't think his fans have actual, you know, lives or anything. (You have a life, reader, right? You're not actually spending the whole day obsessing over Twilight, are you?)

And oh yeah, he thinks it's super creepy that he's become part of your obsesh.

Never mind that fans much fill his pockets and are the reason why he can flit about making his smarty-pants obscure indie films. Geez, I know he's trying to distance himself from his Twilight work so people will take him more seriously as an actor, but does he have to be so MEAN about it?

Okay, now check out what he says about actually meeting his fans.

[Some interactions were] really scary and creepy. Suddenly everywhere I went people thought they already knew me. They look at a photo of me and think they have a special relationship, a friendship, an affair with me -- someone they haven't met their whole life. That's crazy ... but I try to laugh it off.

Hahaha! Rob's fans kind of scare him. No, no Rob. We're not hurt. Really. (Sniff sniff.)

SIGH. Well Rob, I enjoyed our affair. It was all too brief, and I know you've already forgotten all about me. Now I'm just somebody that you used to know. Or not, since we never actually met in person except in my dreams. My extremely vivid dreams that felt totally real, the ones I had with my eyes open in front of my computer at all hours. My heart will go on. Someone will write another young adult bestseller, and it'll be turned into a mega film franchise, and I will fall in love with its star. As God is my witness, I WILL LOVE AGAIN! And I'm not bitter or anything, but seriously? RPattz you can go straight to vampire hell, because I know you hate that nickname.

How do you feel about the way Robert Pattinson describes his fans?

Restaurant Insults Customers on Offensive Receipt and When Will the Madness End?

Lectores, tengo otro cuento de restaurante insultar Ay para ti. Se reúnen ' redondo. Es un primor... debíamos publicar la foto de la factura ofendía por debajo el salto por razones de F-bombardeo. Es para su propia protección. ANYHOO, nuestra historia comienza cuando el joven, estudiante de ususpecting Naomi Bloomer ordenó unos tragos y un brownie de una barra de café. Cuando llegó su recibo notó que incluía el audazmente redactada la Nota: "F *** ers todo venga enseguida." ¿Creo que tal vez alguien tenía un mal día en el trabajo?

FORMA DE HACERLO NO ES IMPRESIONANTE.

Naomi dice que ella quejó primero al cajero, que le voló diciendo: "Sí, nosotros hemos sido pegados." (Eso es lo que ella dijo...) Entonces Naomi escribió a servicio al cliente para la barra de café tres veces y sigue la consoló. ¿Y sabes lo que hace que la gente siente. En lugar de simplemente dejarlo caer, te dan ganas de seguir esa disculpa sabes es debido a los extremos de la tierra, si es necesario. Alguien tiene que pagar! O al menos di que lo sientes. ¿Es decir, Caray, qué difícil es simplemente pedir disculpas?

Finalmente, llegó el dueño de la empresa, Dave Dickinson (Sí, realmente) disculparme. "Nos esforzamos para servicio al cliente antípodas super amable. Así que pedimos disculpas a la persona que no experimenta esto." (Antipoda se refiere a Australia o Nueva Zelanda, el último de los cuales es donde tiene su sede la empresa. Aprendieron una nueva palabra hoy!)

Esto era una tontería. Es decir, "cabrones", entrando en la tienda en masa son un poco de la idea de por qué usted entra en el negocio, ¿no? ¿Quieres un montón de clientes, y contratar gente para asegurarse de que están muy satisfechos cuando salen. ¿Qué se supone, coordinar nuestros antojos de café para no cargar excesivamente los baristas? HRM, tal vez esto es una cuestión de gestión y capacitación tanto como una cuestión de rudeza.

Y después todos los insultos de restaurante ofensiva de millones que han sido escritos en la Internet, ¿por qué haces que la gente todavía? Algunas personas incluso despedir así nunca termina bien. Pero sabes que va a suceder. De hecho, voy a poner mi calendario para una semana a partir de hoy y sólo espera, voy a tener uno de estos puestos a escribir.

¿Por qué crees que esto sucede tan a menudo?
