Title: Minor things that piss you off
Post by: xolik on March 13, 2006, 05:38:35 PM
Let's all bitch about the little things that cause us to see red. I'll kick it off with one of my favorites:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=prolly

IT'S 'PROBABLY' YOU FUCKSTICKS!

Even worse is when I hear some slack-jawed mouthbreather use 'prolly' in real conversation. I will instantly lose any respect I may have had for you once you utter this nonsense.

This ranks right up there with:

 http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sammich

'Sammich.' You're not four goddamn years old, it's not cute, stop saying this.

Oh yeah, and stinky janitors. Take a fucking shower already.

#1 minor thing that pisses me off:  the one fucking tard in the left lane who screws up traffic for everyone by going 10 mph below the speed limit.

That pretty much tops it for me.

What about "sandwooch"?  Does sandwooch piss you off?  Cause that's how I say it most of the time.

Minor things that piss me off?  The box of tissues on my kitchen counter made steam come out of my ears.

Not a whole lot gets on my nerves. Maybe bad wine. If I can have a sammich wif it, I can prolly tolerate it tho.

Actually, little abreviations like that can be irksome, but the real way to get on my nerves is to come into a tobacoonist's shop while I am there, look at a hookah, and make some sort of 'How much pot can you fit in the chamber' comment. Retards!

I actually used to use 'irregardless' quite frequently in normal conversation, all the while believing it was a word, not a double negative. Some part of me still clings onto the notion that it's acceptable.

Irregardless of that fact, I've changed. I don't use no double negatives no more. Now I'm prolly off to have a sandwoosh.

Well, actually, it is a word. English language dictionaries recognize it -- some reluctantly, some without reservation. Here is Merriam-Webster's deffinition (on-line version):

Quote
Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less
Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s
Function: adverb
Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless
nonstandard : REGARDLESS
usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.


Use of this word doesn't irritate me like it does many people I know. However, I can't help but categorize people who use it as weak-minded, middle-brow, borderline illiterate hypervocabularizers. Usually that conclusion is borne out in the course of further discourse.

the little things? i have a lot of big things. not so many little things.

but here's a few:

people who just stop walking in a major foot traffic area without looking behind them first, especially in a crowded doorway area.

being forced to read stuff i'm not interested in.

using body language (like shrugging) to answer my question, especially when i'm not looking.

excessive cussing and loud talking in a public space with no clue that you are bothering others. (like when i rode ManCrack to DC, i mean AmTrak  sorry)

etc


oh yeah. i also hate "sammich" and "prolly" and really hate "imma" but i use "tho" all the time... of course i don't use my shift key much either and i know that's annoying to some, but this is the way i have always typed.

i hate when people hand write "U" llike "C U later!"

Title: Minor things that piss you off

I honestly don't know what to expect from the assholes in this state.  AZ is way way more "conservative" the CA.  So much so that many people here hate Californians and refer to CA as the People's Republic of California.
Title: Minor things that piss you off
Post by: pbsaurus on April 05, 2006, 03:04:53 PM
Nothing like blatant xenophobia to bring out all the hispanic voters though.  Before Wilson backed the illegal immigrant proposition here, the hispanic voters had poor turnout.  Since then they have one of the highest rates.  When I was working in the restaurants my employees hated Pete Wilson more than anybody.  So there is hope for AZ too.
Title: Minor things that piss you off

Judge for yourself:
It was on a baseball forum, and someone was describing the differences between the Babe's conditions for hitting 714 and Barry's for hitting more. One point that came up was that the Babe didn't have a helmet to protect himself from inside pitching. The offending person, who I shall name The Tool, then said
Quote
no helmets?? isnt that ilegal(not as in law-breaking)"
which was another in his series of inane and generally useless posts. I responded to The Tool,
Quote
No helmets in Babe Ruth's time. You should feel free to read a post and comprehend it before knee-jerk replying...
and got bitched out by one of the admins.

I was less than impressed with both The Tool and the admin.

I thought you did coding, Revka. I can relate to that as well. The only thing people pay with nowadays are 20s and credit cards, and when their credit card is declined, it must be my fault.

Maybe if they paid their bills, they wouldn't be declined for $2.12. Scumbags.

The Pasadena Freeway was, I believe, the first freeway in the LA area. I haven't driven it in maybe 15 years, and it may have undergone some renovation in that time, but the thing I remember most about it is that the on- and off-ramps are really short. Merging onto the freeway is more like turning right on a red light. Same with exiting. Since the Pasadena Freeway was built, our ideas of what a freeway should be like has evolved. I commute mostly on freeways that have been either built or renovated in the last 5-10 years. There was also a lot of open space where these roads were built, so the lanes are wide, the shoulders capacious, and the on- and off-ramps are long enough for a 747 to take off of.

All this encourages speeding, something I no longer do. As a reformed motorist painfully cognizant of the cost of insurance and the long-term repurcussions of speeding tickets, I habitually keep to the rightmost lane, my cruise control set boldly and daringly at 1 mph above the local speed limit, which is 65 mph in most cases. Less prudent -- or more late -- motorists whizz by me to the left, but I don't let it bother me, as I happily sup my coffee and listen to NPR. What I don't understand, given the mile-long on-ramps prevalent along my route, is why is there always one bozo who doesn't understand what the on-ramp is for and merges in front of me at 40 miles per hour you GODDAM MORON causing me to slow down, thus wasting gas and brakepads, only to speed up after a minute and zoom away at 85 mph?

Sheesh!
Title: Re: Minor things that piss you off
Post by: dcrog on June 14, 2006, 04:07:41 PM
State laws must be different here.  On a limited access road, freeway/interstate, you are more of less allowed 14 mph over before there are any points added  to your license.  In other words it is payable up to that point and nothing is reported to the insurance company.

Personally I usually run about nine or ten over the speed limit on roads like this and have never been pulled over for going that speed.  Unless they are new or an eager beaver the police usually want to cause you as much grief as they can if they are going to bother pulling you over.  :-D

It is. It's more like an aqueduct than a freeway. And there is no way anyone can merge in at anything approaching speed limit, unless they have some kind of jet assisted engines. But there is NO excuse for anyone merging onto a regular freeway at 30 mph off a quarter-mile on-ramp! I could get up to speed on a friken bicycle.

In California, it also depends on who is pulling you over. Depending on whether it's local police, county Sherrif or the CHP, and depending on which city or unincorporated county area it is, you might or might not be required to appear before a judge, pay a fine structured in one of a variety of creative ways, be required to attend traffic school, or merely mail in a check. You never know. And of course I've seen officers completely ignore BMWs zipping by at 80 mph but pull over a beat-up Pinto because it looked suspicious. So there's no telling. One speeding ticket I got was for travelling no more than 15 mph above the limit on a deserted stretch of road. This was quite a few years ago. The officer was very nice at first, but things got a bit chilly after I handed him my licence. Turns out, it had expired months before. Ah, the recklessness of youth!

A rule of thumb I've heard is 5 miles above or below the speed limit is alright, everything else is an increasing risk.


Of course, while I have a license I refuse to drive. I walk or take public transportation, occasionally getting a ride, because people are SCARY here with driving.

No, you don't get it. What pisses me off is when people inconsiderately slow down traffic for no good reason. Tractors can't go 65 mph, so I don't expect them to, and I don't get mad when I have to go around them. But jerkwads in their Escalades who are too busy gossipping on their fricken cell phones to bother to get up to speed on the quarter-mile on-ramp provided for just that purpose PISS ME OFF! It's not the speed of the vehicle, it's the inconsideration of the driver that gets me.

Detta;

Just saw the website you have on your profile.  Wierd co-inki-dink, I work in advertising as well and something very similar happened to me last week.  A client had called me to say he didn't like the way part of his spot went, then proceeded to play the .mov I had sent him and point to the screen when the CG's he disliked came up; POINTED AT THE FREAKIN SCREEN!!  Like I was some kind of 'ghost in the shell' who could see what he was pointing at!  It took me 15 minutes to relay to him that I couldn't see his monitor over the phone and he should just tell me what CG it was so I could change it.

Avodart commercials. Just sell the product. I understand the "testamonial" technique in advertising; this is NOT the right product for it. I don't want to hear some old fella talking about how he cant pee, but always feels the need...  Come on! Just state what it's for; those who need it are all aware, I feel sure, of all the inconviences of an enlarging prostate. Nobody needs (or wants) to hear some strange old guy's urinary shenanigans.

The DiGiorno commercials were terrible. 

Also, I'm aware this is an old thread but I was so happy to find it that I couldn't help myself: Folks who want their kids to be unique and special but not so different as to be made fun of and thus such parents intentionally misspell a classic/trendy name instead of choosing a name that is actually uncommon.  How do they justify this?  Obviously flagging your child as ignorant and illiterate doesn't set them up to be ostracized in school and waiting tables for the rest of their lives.  Those sons/daughters may not achieve the lofty status of 'unique' that their parents hoped for but I guarantee they will always been seen as special. 
Second irk is folks who make fun of kids with awkward spellings when it's the parents who should be drummed out of town.

The topic of my pissed off rant today is babies. For the past half hour, Ive had kids and a screaming newborn all up in my shiz at work. You may be wondering, "Do you work at a daycare?" Nope, in an office. Or maybe, "Is it bring your kid to work day?" Well no, no it isn't. Just a coworker who recently had a baby who thought it would be good fun to drag it, and her schmillion other kids, in for a visit. First of all, no one cares. Congratulations, you managed to push yet another 9 lb helpless, crying, vomitting, pooping machine out of your vagina that you are now obligated to take care of for the next 18 years. The lack of me giving a sh*t, and assumption that I did, isn't what bothered me. Acting like you care when you don't, well that's life. It was the fact that while this coworker was showing off her bundle of fkn joy, she let the other kids just wander off to do whatever they pleased. Running up and down the aisles, yelling, *insert more grumpy-old-man-complaining-about-kids-on-the-yard comments* Is it bad that I sincerely had to hold back the the urge to stick my foot out of my cubicle as they were running by? -__-

Nah, some people just don't care for children—I'm one of them! For example I was at a picnic near the war museum and these kids were running around yelling so I opened fire at them with a cannon. It's like "shut up kids, this is a picnic, not an office"

  If you dont have enough time; then DONT DO THE FUCKING SHOW. If you are going to do the show; budget ENOUGH FUCKING TIME TO DO IT IN.

  Everything is NOT a goddamn race.

  Besides; unless it IS a race you are watching, what is the point of acting short for time? I believe it's to gloss over or cover up the shoddy, superficial

To advertising developers:

 Ya know, a "family" includes males. An actual "family" usually has a Father, you know; a MAN. Generally, it's not just a woman and her daughter or two. Or a woman and her best friend and their daughters.

 But whatever. You'll reap the rewards of pop culture when you have three or four generations of young males believing they don't belong in the ideal family. When these males tire of being shown how their presence totally ruins an ideal family, and they become resentful, cynical, and more misogynistic than ever before; you can hit rewind and watch your decades of adverts again for an explanation.

Speaking as a former fraternity member, I think it's a frat-boy thing. Not sure how that's going to work out. Especially when these new "flavors" of soda rarely last longer than a month or two.

I think people will remember that one time Dr. Pepper decided to (ahem) lose (/ahem) half their customers instead of remembering the new flavor itself which by that time will probably not even be available anymore.

I setup a server with debian 6, during the installation, I had something stupid I had to do, so I let a roomate help me with it (first mistake). I told him what I wanted setup on it (second mistake). Instead of putting the GDE on it, he made it strictly boot to console, while setting up the DNS, he set it up to use 4.4.4.4 for DNS instead of 8.8.8.8, half the files that have been put into the home folder are files that belong to root, and so on. I installed the GDE, because it was troublesome trying to move stuff around all the time. For some reason 4.4.4.4 decides to resolve some of the websites I want to go to, so I set it to use 8.8.8.8. And the root files... I still haven't taken care of those... But I plan to hop into a root terminal and just rm them. Just re-enforces the "If you want it done right, do it yourself" type of thought process.

So called "lyric sites". Has anyone tried to search for lyrics lately?

 Don't bother. The internet fucked that up too.

I have found that the most accurate search engine for lyrics is actually, youtube.

Your findings would be consistent with mine, then. In fact, I'm not certain the "lyric sites" served by major search engines are indeed sites for listing song lyrics. Empirical evidence has shown such sites are typically used as advertisement 'hubs' and linkfarms with no actual song lyrics to be found. Bastards.
