Starting this topic to ask people how much crap they are willing to shift through in life? Perhaps to figure out how much crap people deal with versus how much non-crap people deal with. I guess I can make this an overall topic instead of taking it into the many different thread topic areas.
For Movies:
What I mean by the title is for instance how much of a movie will you watch if you aren't enjoying it? Are you the person to walk out of the theater and get your money back? Will you watch the movie and hope there is some great moment that makes it worth watching despite not enjoying it in general?
For books;
How far into a book have you gone before deciding you aren't going to read anymore?
For websites;
Are you willing to explore through tons of content you find unenjoyable? What websites do you read that perhaps only for the occasional piece/article is a crap website?
For videogames:
Are you willing to deal with walking around an overworld which takes up a lot of time and isn't that eventful? Will you return a game if you don't immediately enjoy it? Will you complete a game just for the sake of completing it?
For music:
How much garbage are you willing to go through to get to the good stuff? Will you listen the whole album if you don't like the first few songs/tracks? Are you willing to accept a shitty album if it has one amazing moment?
For people:
Are you willing to put up with people pushing you around if they are somehow benefiting you? For instance will you put up with a boyfriend/girlfriend who makes it up being a complete bastard to you all the time? Other stuff -- how much of your personal dignity do you suck up to avoid conflict? Will you speak out against something that disadvantages you at work?

Given the nature of most of the threads you start, have you ever considered working in television as a talk show host?

Let me try to address all of your questions there. For all of the things you have listed (movies, books, websites, video games, music and people) I would not put up with any shit. Anyone who does put up with and accept shit deserves the abuse because they are spineless and are allowing themselves to be walked over. In the case(s) in all of the things you listed other than a relationship... why the fuck would you waste your time with something if if was terrible and boring unless you don't know any better or your life is just as boring and lackluster as the things you do.
As far as the relationship and personal dignity one goes... you should never put up with an abusive partner. There are too many people who feel stuck in abusive relationships and in a lot of those cases they almost are because of the extent to which some people will stalk, harass and otherwise control their partners.
As far as avoiding conflict and speaking out against something that disadvantages you at work... you have to know when to pick your fights. Sometimes it is wiser to bide your time, bite your tongue and let things pass than to jump into a conflict. Sometimes things turn to your advantage if you just let them be. Always speak out against things you do not like or that disadvantage you, but keep in mind to let people know you still want to do your job and that you are just expressing how it makes you feel.

Well I can take about two sentences before I realize that I don't really care. Then I just skip to the comments and see if anyone else cares about another pointless post. Apparently they don't, so I don't feel too bad.

Italian Herbs and Cheese is the best. Though I like the buffalo chicken subs with ranch, pepper jack, banana peppers, and jalapenos the most. I could probably take 24 inches of that if I had the money.

I could when I was younger and lived in PA, but living below the Mason/Dixon line for the last thirteen years or so has really spoiled me. Now I just lay there.

The best subway sandwich is as follows:
12-inches
Buffalo chicken
Italian herbs & cheese bread
Pepper jack cheese
Toasted
Lettuce
Tomato
Onion
Green Bell Peppers
Spinach leaves
Banana peppers
Chipotle sauce
Lite mayo
Sweet onion sauce
Buffalo sauce
That is what I order every time I go to Subway, and that is how much I can take.
