I am really sick of the Very Loud Complaints of people who aren't playing. There's a couple of people I know on Facebook that any time anybody posts anything at all they have to get all up in it about how awful/whatever the people are who are playing. I swear to god it's like people seriously hate fun.
I get it. You don't like it. That doesn't give you any call to piss all over my fun, particularly since it's not like I'm spamming or anything.

@Sunny Oh there are people who bitch at anything that's popular, mostly because it's popular.
I have family who hate Facebook, they just whine about it all day long... on Facebook. I can't even.
- He who takes offense when not intended is a fool. He who takes offense when intended is a greater fool.

Um. Yeah. I was not curious as to why they were bitching. They hate fun. It's just aggravating to see people who are usually decent people running around doing their best to spoil fun for others.

I'm not at all surprised by the people I've seen doing this. By and large they've (the ones I've personally seen) been the same people who will post 30 Dr Who (or GoT or Walking Dead or whatever their personal obsession is) related things in one day, but then throw a huge temper tantrum about 'all the stupid football posts' during the entirety of the NFL season.

@VulgarKitten New addiction. Need more of that dust.

A 30 minute walk around my block with an incense used netted me ten pokemon. The one I caught when I first started equals 11 pokemon so far!

@Apu Do you need to move while using incense, or do they come to you? I might check tomorrow... long boring work phone call, bright and early. >.<

They come to you. Just sit on your butt and let the vibrations roll in.

Ah! I didn't know you could just sit there. I needed to take a walk anyhow but man. That does make it nice!

The best are those lures used on a poke stop. You net SO many pokemon AND the poke stops re-spawn every 5 or so minutes so you can get 30 minutes worth of items, too.

@VulgarKitten My office is on top of a PokeStop and someone put a lure module in it. It was very nice.

I should probably stop intentionally sticking my foot out when people try to walk past me to get to their Pokémon target. I should probably also do the same for people staring at their phones and not paying attention to their surroundings.
But I probably won't. Others hate the fun I like to have.

@Ganymede As long as you're not on FB whining about Pokemon, it's totally okay. You can tell them I gave you my permission.
Unless then they're red team, then you leave them alone.

Right now I'm just waiting for football season to start.
Some of my most vocal FB friends about 'omg stop whining about Pokemon and just let people enjoy themselves' are the biggest whiners during football season about how much they hate it. >.>
What I dig is that a lot of game, comic, etc. stores have realized that for a relatively cheap amount of money (compared to say, advertising costs), they can bring people in just by keeping the Pokestops at the store (if they have one) loaded with lures.

Just caught a Shellder sitting at my desk. Think that means it's bed time.

I hate everyone who gets spawns at home. Or even on their block.
I've got 3 gyms and a number of Pokestops within a few blocks. But do any Pokemon ever spawn? Nooooooo. I have to go 3/4ths of a mile up to the mall to get any. Sometimes I just wanna walk around the block on my lunch break!
