1. Screaming "I wanna rape Brad!" First of all, the chicks who said this were illegal. Second of all, it's a ridiculous comment. Third of all, Mike Caputo will give you dirty looks. Pissing off "The Man" is NOT smart!
2. Screaming and shrieking "DEVIN YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOO HOT!!!" First of all, it's annoying to everyone around you. Second of all, Devin will ignore you to talk to us, since we had INTELLIGENT things to say. Then you will proceed to call us bitches as he is talking to us. Third of all, Devin knows damn well he's hot!!
3. Dressing like a hootchie. First of all, most of you whore dressers are illegal. For the moms out there, you let your child walk out of the house looking like THAT?!?! Second, you can stand outside in the pouring rain looking busted as hell and they will STILL talk to you and give you hugs! Third, they might even come back to talk to you AGAIN! Fourth, is it really practical to wear high heels, a mini skirt and a tube top to a softball game on a 60 degree rainy day?? NO!
4. This is Steph's biggest LFO pet peeve: PEOPLE WHO SPELL DEVIN LIMA'S NAME WRONG! First, his name is NOT "Devon", that would be a girl. Second, if someone professed their love to me, but spelled my name wrong, I'd be a little insulted. Third, take our advice, if you're going to make a T-shirt or sign, make sure to spell their names correctly. For the record, it's D-E-V-I-N L-I-M-A.
5. One of Cristin's biggest LFO pet peeves: People who give Rich "da finga" (This is Steph typing, and it irritates me endlessly how he says it, but I'm just typing how he talks.) First, it's plain rude to do that to anyone! Second, it's even more rude to do that to someone you're claiming to be a fan of. Third, Cristin might kick your ass for doing that to her baby (it took everything she could NOT to go off on those chicks who repeatedly did it and called him rude!) Fourth, it's even worse when Rich says something to you about it ("Why do you keep givin me da finga?") NICE impression.
6. People who claim to be HUGE fans, yet they hate Devin's voice and how he looks (a werewolf??). First, how can you hate his angelic voice? Second, if you hate his voice, how can you stand to listen to the the CD or go to concerts where he's singing? Morons, we tell you!
7. People who come onto message boards (like www.livedaily.com) and ask us stupid questions like, Hey, is LFO still around? No you idiots, they're NOT, that's why there's a message board dedicated to them! (If you could see us now, we're rolling our eyes).
Numbers 8-11 are thanks to Sheri (aka Rich's Bitch):
8. Pushing you out of the way so you can see and to get them to notice you. Yeah I'm sure if they see you shoving another fan over they're going to love your brute self even more. Hell why not give them a nice shove and a black eye while you're at it?
9. Personally, I just hate really loud screaming girls but when I go to a concert, I'd like to HEAR the music (go figure). Some screaming is just something you do, because you are having fun, but like "AHHHHHH OMG OMG AHHHH" THE WHOLE SHOW?? Yeah, breathe people! Side note by Steph and Cristin: This is PARTICULARLY annoying when this happens right in your ear! DAMN, it could blow your ear drum right out!
10. Worse then not being able to spell their names are the people who claim to be fans, but don't even know the names of the members of the group! "Yeah I like the blonde one, what's his name?" THATS NICE! :roll eyes:
11. "Fans" who DON'T know the words to the songs. Yeah it's fine if you can't understand a part and sing the wrong lyrics, but not knowing one word? That's sad!
Back to Cristin and Steph's rants!
12. Fans (or people we meet in general) who feel the need to inform us of how rude/mean/nasty Rich, Brad, Devin, or Mike was to them. Number one, if the incident involved a cell phone, we don't even want to hear your gripe because SURPRISE they are allowed to answer their cell phones in your presence! Number two, we will defend all four of them so you shouldn't even bother. Number three, we will tell you how incredibly sweet all of them are. Number four, they are ALLOWED to have a bad day! As a wise man once said (thanks MC!) "Sometimes I'll hear someone say, 'Well, Rich is this', or 'Brad is this', or 'Devin is this', and this is how I best try to explain it: I'll ask the person, have you ever woken up on the wrong side of the bed or woke up not feeling good because of lack of sleep and you are grumpy? And their answer will be 'Of course, I'm human' and I'll say, 'Well, there's your answer, they are too.'" So don't start with us!
13. Fans who scream their names over and over to get their attention. It tends to freak them out, we've seen it. Rich's face at the signing after girls were screaming his name was "WHOA!". He looked like he wanted to hide or crawl under the table. Treat them as regular guys.
14. Don't try to talk to us about promoting LFO when:
A: Your site hasn't been updated since before "West Side Story" was a single.
And B: We're sitting there in front of you wearing "PROMOTE LFO" t-shirts.
15. We're sitting under a big ass sign that says "LFO 7pm" and fans (and random passers by) STILL ask "What are you waiting for?" Ummm...LOOK UP ABOVE OUR HEADS OR READ OUR T-SHIRTS! "Youre going to sit here until 7pm?" Yes, actually we are!
16. If you're going to sing songs in line at a concert, please sing the correct lyrics! Do you realize how annoying it is for some of us to sit there and listen as you murder our favorite guys' lyrics?
17. HOOTCHIES Yes, that's in bold type and yes, we've said it before! BUT, unfortunately IT BEARS REPEATING! We don't want to see you in a strapless tight boob showing shirt. It's not cool! Especially if you don't have the body for it. And do you really think they are going home with you, especially if you are under 18? Trust us, we are the poster children for dressing normally and still getting some love from the guys!
18. Fans who brag that Rich calls them (among other things) on their cells in line, then proceed to sh*t talk him and the rest of LFO and Mike in the same sentence. Ok, why the heck are you inline 4 hours early for an LFO show if you really can't stand them that much? Secondly, we get pretty upset when you sh*t talk LFO in our presence! ***UPDATE-these lovely chicas were next to us at an O-town show recently and they proceeded to do the same damn thing about the O-boys! We were rolling our eyes...it was messed up!
19. If you don't know the info, don't go to the show! We especially get pissed if you have no clue about LFO and have better seats than we do!
20. Fans who take your spot when they swear they are saving it for you! This happened at Elle Girl Party to some friends and we were not amused and to make it worse, the chicks who took the spots weren't really LFO fans! GRR!
21. For the Moms out there, DO NOT bring your children to a general admission LFO show! If there are no seats, how can you expect your kid to see in a sea of people who are at least 6 inches (if not more) taller than them. And don't ask me to move out of my front row spot or push your way through just so your 6 year old kid can see. Call me a b*itch and send me hate mail, but I work my butt off promoting LFO, I'm not letting your kid who isn't even an LFO fan take my damn spot especially when I have no where to move and I've been there for over an hour! And do you not realize how dangerous general admission shows are? The pushing and shoving and cramped space have scared me a few too many times. And for the love of God, when you do get someone to let your 6 year old kids through, don't keep pushing your way into the crowd during LFO's set to make sure they can use the camera and to make sure they are safe. *roll eyes* They shouldn't be there anyway....
22. Fans who take Rich too literally and seriously when he says "scream louder", "sing louder", and "JUMP!". We're not against doing what Rich says and participating in the show cause to quote Devin "they work with us, their part of the group" but my ear drum is already blown out, thanks and Rich isn't trying to start a mosh pit...we promise! So don't go psycho and insane on us, keep it at a safe level please!
23. Fans who are at a show and don't rock out or look like they are enjoying themselves at all! Cristin: This is especially annoying when your standing next to one of these fans in the front row. HELLO?!? I can't fathom being 6 inches from LFO and not enjoying myself or never singing along! I was ready to smack said fan upside the head! And it's not only Cristin who ends up next to unenthusiastic fans, did anyone else notice "yellow shirt girl" in the Much Music Shoutback special? She just stood there in the damn from row and looked miserable the whole damn time! She's worse than Mike Cronin standing on the side of the stage at an O-town show!
24. Fans who talk while LFO is trying to answer interview questions. We couldn't believe how rude some people were while LFO was answering the questions! We'd like to actually hear their answers, go figure!
25. Fans who snap pics right in their faces and don't ask permission. It's common courtesy to ask, ya know? Didn't your mom teach you any manners? Especially, if you're all up in their face with the cam and a flash. We think we'd be highly annoyed if flashes went off in my face 24/7.
26. Fans who make LFO pose with them for multiple pics. They are into their fans which rocks and it's nice enough that they will do one. It annoys us that some fans make the guys take 6 thousand pics (aka "a photo shoot") with them at one time (and the kissy -n- huggy pics make us wanna vomit! LOL!). Give them a break...and just take one pic with them a meeting unless it's absolutely necessary. (For example: You think your camera messed up.)
27. Fans who have multiple fan sites for different groups. Let us break it down for you, we've come across some fans that have an O-Town site and proclaim to be THE HUGEST O-town fans (To clarify: there's nothing wrong with O-Town! We're fans too!) and then we click the link to an LFO site from that page...and it turns out that coincidently the same people run it and they are coincidentlyTHE HUGEST LFO fans. PICK A DAMN GROUP! Make up your minds! LOL!
28. Cristin's newest personal pet peeve: Fans who jack one of my screen names! GRRR! I'm very possessive of my screen names and nick names online...and I've come across some LFO sites recently that made me cringe when I've read that someone was calling themselves the same damn screen name that I've had on a message board for like almost 2 years now and same goes for someone posting on some message board using the same SN I use on AOL and on most of the LFO related stuff I do! GRRRRR!!
29. Fans who don't respect LFO's privacy. This includes fans who pass around their screen names/cell numbers/addresses, harass their cells at all hours of the night, knock on doors in hotels at odd hours, and harass them online. BTW, some of this info has been given to us....but it's all in how you use it (OR NOT USE IT!). Posting the info on a message board for all to see IS NOT cool.
30. Fans who just raise their cameras into the air and shoot pics. It's not really annoying; it's just plain stupid! Ummm, what kind of pics are you gonna get raising your camera up in the air? You're gonna be lucky to get the top of peoples' heads-especially if you're THAT far back! (Thanks to Kelly "Raposo"!)
31. Fans who STINK! if you are in close quarters at a concert..one needs to make sure to wear ample deoderant, perfume, body splash, etc. This is because we do not want to be smelling your stinky self when you raise up those arms! We wanna be knocked over by LFO's hotness, not your B.O.! (Thanks to ~Nicole~ for the idea!)
32. Fans who hit them with stuff when they are onstage! Ok, we can allow the stuffed animals and flowers simply because they don't hurt! LOL! But, how many times do we have to see Brad hit in the head with a frisbee and see him wince to realize we shouldn't be throwing hard objects at the guys?? Do YOU want to be the one responsible for the cancellation of the show when Brad gets knocked out? The thought of 5 thousand rabid teenies and crazed fans after us would be enough to deter us from hitting him (or Rich or Devin)with crap!
33. Fans who bang on bus doors repeatedly for over an hour and are told to stop by Tim...and finally need Mike to come out and yell at them to respect their privacy. Hello, that's their house when they are on the road. There is NO NEED to be that rude and disrespectful! You don't see them coming to your house at like 11:30 pm and banging the hell outta your door do ya? So quit it. Yeah, I'm sure they want to come off the bus to meet the people who were banging for an hour. That's a great impression. You're not giving then any reason to come off the bus, morons!
34. Fans who feel the need to throw around their VIPness to everyone. A very wise VIP friend once said it screams TACKYness to brag about one's VIP status and we tend to agree. It's all good to bask in your VIP glory but throwing it around any chance you get verbally, on your website, live journal, or else where to other fans to make yourself feel special is just not classy. No, this comment didn't come out of jealously...just some people need to learn how to use their manners and keep their mouths shut at times.
