Another couple of minor things that piss me off:
  • People in (other) forums who are unable to read a post through and comprehend it before replying.
  • Admins in (other) forums who tell me off for getting angry at people in (other) forums who are unable to read a post through and comprehend it before replying.

Is that a similar situation to, "Alright so 'my friend' was wondering..."

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.

Seriously. If that's considered flaming on that Other Board, they'd never survive here. Or here.

The fact that people never use $10 bills any more.  I went about 6 hours at work yesterday without seeing one!  Needless to say the $5's were going out left and right considering almost everybody would come in, get a pack of gum, and pay with a $20.  (That was also the first night I saw more 50's and 100's than 10's.)   :x

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.

Nobody uses $10 bills anymore because they're all being used to wallpaper my house. 

Expensive wallpaper but soooooooooooo good looking.

Waldo, don't you worry about it.  Anyone goes near my wallpaper and I go all Aaron Burr on their asses.

I was just joking but then I googled Alexander Hamilton fanfic and there are tons of hits.  You should check them out.  Maybe write a few of your own.

I did not know that she had recieved them yet, but I am not really shocked by this info. When did she recieve them though, just wondering.
