Things That Rightfully or Not Bug Me Showing 151-200 of 1,934

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

There's a thread on Amazon in which you take movie titles and make a porn title out of them. I can't remember which forum (maybe humor?) but it's hysterical.

Things that bug me but shouldn't:

1. My mother-in-law
She means well, but she is driving me nuts.
2. People who use their blinker for only a few 'blinks' and then slowly drift into the next lane.
3. MMRPG's
I don't know why, but they just make me contemplate cherry-bombing my husbands computer. It's not like he spends a massive percentage of his time on them.

[Félix]

MMRPG's?

Larry: Massive Multi-player Role Playing Game

(Edit) I thought that I should give you an example. MMRPGs are games like Ever Quest, World of Warcraft, and DarkFall.

[[deleted user]]

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who had no idea what MMRPG's were. Thanks Larry. :)

[[deleted user]]

Stop that! >:(

[[deleted user]]

Haha. Thanks Misha. I am not telling where I fit into the hierarchy. :D

That's just ... I don't know ... crazy.

Same here, Misha. I have friends, though, who aren't. I love them dearly, and okay, yes, wear your uniform when you're volunteering to answer phones during the PBS pledge drive. But really, do NOT get married in a Star Trek uniform.

Ok, this one bugs me, but I think it kind of should. We have meetings at work that ALWAYS seem to run over. Like they say they're scheduled from 9-12 but at 12 we're still going with no sign of ending. So I pack up my computer and leave. Why? BECAUSE THE MEETING IS FUCKING SUPPOSED TO END AT 12. That's why. And I scheduled something at 12:30 on the idea that the meeting would end at, you know, 12. This happens way too much. That is all.

i hate dislike meetings that last too long, especially workmeetings when i have work to do. you've asked that question at every meeting for at least three months now, we don't need to discuss it again!

a)Misha! You cited Brunching Shuttlecocks! One of my favorite websites ever, RIP.

b)I have another irritation: redundant acronyms and phrases, like when people ask for the ATM Machine. So that's Automatic Teller Machine Machine.
Ditto for PIN number.

[Kevin]

what about the saying Hot Water Heater?

[Sarah]

Heh.

[Sally, la reina]

What is redundant about that kevin?

[Sally, la reina]

Oh, I'm an idiot.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Bad lighting that makes my skin either look washed out, sallow, or red and patchy. I am going to have a special light built with only the most flattering tones, that I can attach to my head and wear all the time. It is so discombobulating when you leave the house thinking you look all lovely, and then in front of some other mirror you look like deathvomit.

[Sally, la reina]

I had to read that three or four times before I realized you weren't talking about lightning, LBSTRgrl.

But I agree about the mirror part. Fuck, yeah.

[Félix]

Hot water. Heater.

[Sally, la reina]

Yeah. Idiot got it.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Tuna fish. Also redundant.

[Félix]

Pizza pie.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

These are called pleonasms. Free gift. Repeat again. I don't know why redundancy bothers people though...

[Félix]

Right. I mean ... as long as you don't say the same thing twice ....

Acronyms drive me crazy. In my last school's handbook it went to 2 A4 pages listing the education acronyms that we use ... grrrrr.

[Polstar]

Ok ... just remembered another thing that really annoys me. When you're talking to people who work in banks, or sales people or people you have to deal with about forms etc. When they say "If you could return this form to myself"

WHAT? Just say 'me' - why 'myself'?

Or "we'll have a check over the form ourselves and return it to yourself" ... WHY? You've already said 'we' you don't need to say 'ourselves'. And why can't you say "return it to you" - ARGGGGGH.
And yes, my punctuation and grammar is HORRID this morning but I'm very hungover and losing two games of online Scrabble at the moment - I'm most upset!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yeah. Myself is very, very bad.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

The word "re-architect." Maybe I am out of the loop, but this was new to me. It means, are you ready? Redesign. Why can't they just say redesign? It's not corporate enough?

Also: onboarding. Onboarding.

Mom, can you re-milk me? Sorry...lapsing into corporatespeak there. May I have another glass of milk please?

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It really, really bugs me when you get a new version of software and some of the fonts you had in the old version are suddenly gone. I no longer have Gill Sans, my favorite all time font, or Hightower.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh, it does. It does. I've never been crazy about the title of this thread.

[Mansee]

I get bugged when I am reading something interesting and people around me go on and on about something, even tbough I am not listening to them.

Let me read in peace!

[Aynge]

Bad drivers SHOULD bug you. They're dangerous and need to be kept off the road. It's too easy to get and keep a driver's license in this country. If more people were bothered by them, thousands of people would still be alive.

Bad grammar really annoys me, and it shouldn't. I mean, I understand (usually) exactly what the person means, but it still bugs me. A lot. If I know the person well, I'll correct them. If it's a stranger, I'll usually bite my tongue. Poor language skills are just a travesty in my opinion. In the big scheme of things, not knowing when to use "you're" vs. "your," or "who" vs. "whom," or even saying "axe" instead of "ask," these are minor infractions, especially weighed against things like common courtesy and general civility.

I received a Christmas letter a couple of weeks ago from a very good friend, and it had at least a dozen grammatical errors. I picked up my red pen and was about to make corrections! I had to toss the pen away from my person. I couldn't believe the errors threatened to outweigh the holiday cheer for me. I'm not even an English teacher.

And those Sit 'n Sleep commercials! Oh Lord!! "You're killing me Larry!" and "Or your mattress is FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!" I just cannot convey how apoplectic they make me. I have to shut my eyes and take deep breaths and pray the rage away if I am unable to change the channel. If I ever meet Larry he better hope I am unarmed because I will at the very least bitch slap his mattress-hawking ass. I'm an easy-going, laid-back person. I do not fly off the handle. I do not know why his ads drive me up the wall, but this shit has to stop.

How should I be pronouncing "Aynge?" Is it like Angie? Or something else? I like to know who I'm agreeing with.

This happens to me often, my husband has learned the glazed eye look when I just want him to finish what he is saying so I can put my nose back on the page. My husband has the nerve to be offended with my look!

It looks like the way Mick Jagger sings "Angie."

It's uncanny how people always seem to know how to interrupt right when you get to the best part of the book.

I'm a fan of all things Mick Jagger.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Okay, I still think we should change the header of this to "Things That Bug You." That Shouldn't lessens my very real grievances, my seething anger, my homicidal rages.

One of my new pet peeves is something that looks like an article, but when I click on it it wants me to watch a slideshow. FUCK YOU. FUCK YOUR FUCKING SLIDESHOW. Huffington Post is the biggest offender but a lot of trashy blogs are now doing this. ("10 Most Pointless Salad Ingredients." Oh, a list? No. A SLIDESHOW.) It must be because their revenues are all related to individual clicks, right? No. I want to click once and be DONE. I want an article to show up, in its entirety, on one page, WASHINGTON POST. Don't give me your three fucking measly paragraphs and make me click for three more and then again for two more. And you wonder why you are going out of business.

Parents who constantly yell from the side line, telling their kids what to do.

I've just come home from my daughters hockey match, one parent was particularly annoying today. I know it shouldn't bother me...I let it ruin my enjoyment of the game. I know the fault is mine. I just couldn't block it out. :(

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

That is annoying Gail. When my oldest was in sports, we'd go and sit there and watch the game. We didn't have to be up and jumping around screaming. I don't get it. Sure, we'd clap or give a little cheer if he did something well, but other than that, we let him play.

My son always told me that he'd die of embarrassment if he had some of those fanatical parents.

[Leslie]

When people talk in movies and check their phones--RRRRRRRRRR!!! That's drives me crazy!

[Angela~twistedmind~]

people who don't crush cereal boxes before they put them in the garbage. or collapse milk jugs and 2 liter coke bottles. really, people?
people who stop and leave their buggies right in the middle of the aisle then ignore you while they stand there chatting on the phone and looking blankly at the shelves. they're only getting so many polite 'excuse me's before i put my bitch pants on.
people who don't shut the shower curtain and/or use the handtowel but neglect to fold it back the way it was.......or use my damn decorative towels when the fucking hand towel is right. fucking. there.
people who borrow my books and don't bring them back in the shape they were in when they took them. or don't bring them back at all. people, don't fuck with my books!!
rude kids. don't even get me started on rude kids!!
people who talk on the phone while they are driving but can't seem to maintain a constant speed. one of the many reasons i suffer severe road rage.
i could go on, but i digress.

[[deleted user]]

Take a deep breath Angela. Let it all go.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Angela, is a buggy a shopping cart? That drives me batshit too. PAY ATTENTION, SHOPPERS. You are not the only one in the DAMN STORE.

[~Geektastic~]

I agree about the rude kids and the shopping carts, definitely annoying. And I don't think that they're something that is annoying but shouldn't be; they're just plain annoying and people are RUDE.

[[deleted user]]

Today...everything.

[Brittomart]

I cannot stand smart ass little kids!!!! It's like, "Why don't you go and sit down somewhere? Read a book, shit! It is not my job to entertain you."

[[deleted user]]

Brit, if you're babysitting, it actually IS your job to entertain them. :I

[Brittomart]

Babysit? Please, I just got my blood pressure down to where it needs to be; I ain't tryin' to have it go up again.

[Sally, la reina]

I love it when Britt gets sassy.
