Yes.

[Lorri]

People who text while they are talking to you. Also when people speak in text talk...."BTW", "BRB", "OMG" and so on.

[Sally, la reina]

writhre.

[Jonathan]

Writhre? Are you writhing in a French accent, Sally?

Hello, Lorri. Welcome.

[Jim]

Welcome to TC Lorri!

[Lorri]

Thanks for the warm welcome!

This made me smile! Good for you!

[Janice]

Welcome Lorri!

[Lee]

Welcome, Lorri!

[Félix]

Yeah but who's Valerie? Someone else in Tennessee, Lorri? (Welcome)

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Valerie Bertinelli, probably.

[Félix]

It sure isn't Orson Welles.

I don't think LG is Orson Welles either.

Thank you Phil. At least someone out there feels my pain. (Or the pain of his partner!)

[Cynthia]

Right now I am off to volunteer at Hospice House. Really, I have NOTHING to complain about. Hospice puts it all in perspective.

It bugs me when authors leave a 5 star rating on their own book.

I hate that one too! Also, when I hate when I notice that an author is giving an excessive amount of one or two star reviews; it's like they're trying to bring other writers down to assert their superiority.

Ah. Okay.

I don't mind it. I guess they could choose to not rate their book, but really, I don't mind if they have some pride. As long as it isn't the only book on their shelves.

[Sally, la reina]

I don't care at all what authors do with thier own books on thier own shelves.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I don't mind if the author is clearly identified as the author and rates 5 stars. It is annoying though if you can clearly tell the book is crap and a bunch of the author's cronies have given it 5 stars.

[~Geektastic~]

I saw one of those a couple of days ago, and you could tell the book really sucked (the premise alone was lame) but it had an inordinate number of 5 star reviews. The occasional review that wasn't a 5 was a 1.

My sympathies, Cynthia. When it comes to trying to get some sleep, the summer is worse. A ceiling fan helps. And I wouldn't recommend a memory foam bed. Very hot! They should put that bit of info in the ads.

Okay, who are you and what have you done with Sally?

[Félix]

Betty.

[Sally, la reina]

This is Betty. She's my puppet. Say "Hi Betty!" everybody!

[Félix]

Hi Betty.

[Shaunna McLaren]

Dripping taps, loud breathers and noisy eaters!

[Karen K.]

People who say "yous guys."

[Allison]

or when people say "my moms"

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

When do people say "my moms?" I take it these are not children of two lesbian parents.

[Angela~twistedmind~]

I guess this shouldn't bug me, but...........when hubby is across the room or, perhaps, walks up to me while i'm seated and puts his hands out, palms up and beckons me to come to him. grrrrrrrrrrrr. He only ever wants a kiss or hug but I've told him it pisses me off and he still does it!! Dammit! I don't know why, but somehow I feel "Less" when he does it (if that makes any sense).

[Brittomart]

It makes sense. I mean, it does seem like a gesture that someone would make to a little girl.

Noisy eaters and 'smackers' just grate on my nerves. Being a daycare provider I hear it every day. The worst, though, is my husband. Oh. My. God. If his mouth isn't wide fucking open he's chewing so hard it is still loud. I try. I really do. But retraining a 35 year old man is near to impossible. His mother does the same thing. Meals with the two of them are torture.

It means "mom" but it's a ghetto slang term.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Smackers are the worst.

[Jammies]

I am really sick of ads for "The Help" and "One Day" on the right in every topic on TC. I don't need to see Anne Hathaway swallowing her co-start with her giant mouth or Emma Stone with curls every minute.

[~Geektastic~]

I received an email from a contractor with my company yesterday, and it bugs me still. She, a professional who owns her own small business, began an email like this: "How come it took you so long to ask me this?"

If it were up to me, I would never be able to do business with her again. Not only is it a rude question, it is horribly written and sounds like it came out of the mouth of a whiny 10-year-old. It's very frustrating to know that she makes in a month what I make in a year.

[Michael]

Something that bugs me that probably shouldn't is people who lack courtesy and don't say thank you.

[Cynthia]

Michael, polite and courteous behavior seems to be a lost art. We have to keep reminding folks how to be decent and kind.

[Félix]

Thanks for the reminders, Michael and Cynthia.

[Julie]

Coworkers who complain about it being too cold when the AC is set to 72. I mean, if you are freezing in 72 degrees, you should probably see your doctor.

[Lee]

lol....you are so correct, Julie! Have a few of these folks at work also.

[Janice]

I play scrabble, backgammon, and yahtzee online. It never ceases to amaze me that people have lost the common courtesy to wish their opponent good luck or to thank them at the end of the game. I always say, "Hi, and good luck!" Some people do respond, but other's either completely ignore the greeting or they reply with "ty".

[Michael]

Larry wrote: "Thanks for the reminders, Michael and Cynthia."

You're welcome. You've always appeared to me as being very polite though.

Janice, where do you play backgammon online? I wonder if some of that isn't rudeness, but maybe because people aren't comfortable with the chat thing that goes along with the games?

[Janice]

I play on http://www.itsyourturn.com/ - for some people, it could be that. I've seen some people put "No Chatting" in with their avatar.

I'm MzzJan there if anyone wants a game. I should mention that the names on some of the games and their rules have been changed because of copywrite issues. Scrabble is called Jamble. Yahtzee is Boatzee

I totally agree, Michael!! My husband has told me I say thank you far too often. Huh? Not possible. I'd include people who are chatting on their cell or whatever and nearly bowl you over. Instead of saying excuse me (which I do automatically, even when I know it wasn't my fault) they look at you with total distain and keep walking. How rude!!
