Things that annoy the HELL out of you.


Assume Nothing

Recommended Posts

I hate it when someone posts a video on Youtube of a particular sound of something (in this most recent case, church wedding bells), and then they just sit there and talk through the whole video about random crap. I don't want to listen to your stupid voice, I want to listen to those bells. Also, stop using your shitty iPhones and stuff to record the sound.

^ The snow here in Britain was good at first, but since Monday or so it's become a drag.

The city seems to be sending a bobcat to plow our sidewalk this year. I am very happy with this change, even if it can't seem to quite get all the snow away. Mostly just needs some salt thrown on the ground after it runs by.

When there's comments/reviews on something coming from people who have yet to try(insert any verb) something, could be a film, a product, a recipe, etc. Eg. You find a recipe, you get 50 reviews of people saying "That looks amazing, I'll try it tonight!" and then like 2 reviews of people who actually made it. Why don't you give your opinion after you try it instead of being useless?

My internet connection is starting to worry me. A day or two ago is just cut out. A couple of modem reboots later (maybe 5 minutes) it was back and seemingly faster than normal, easily as fast as the wee hours of the morning (by which I mean 3am when only the overnight torrents from other houses are running) suggesting that either the internet just seems really fast becuase I'm that happy to see it back, or it's fast because I was rebooting and one of the first people to re-establish a connection.

 

I think this time it was down for close to an hour. At least 30 minutes. I don't know if this is something I am normally lucky enough to miss (I can remember it dying a couple times at night over the last couple years and being fine when I woke up) or not, but I really hate it.

When people don't know the difference between "who" and "whom". There are worse things I suppose (like confusing your and you're, which no one with a working brain should ever mix up), but it still irks me. Grammatical errors like that very much annoy the hell out of me. I try not to correct people, but it's difficult. Maybe it's just me.

Come support my max total goal here.

 

Briobe122's 10-step guide to staking:

1. Get cleaned

2. Vow to never stake ever again! (very important)

3. welfare tds and get claws

4. kill glacors til i get boots

5. bandos ffa or more tds til i have around 50m

6. realize that it is far too hard to rebuild using steps 3, 4, and 5

7. give up the vow to never stake again

8. go back staking and make your bank back

9. if you failed at step #8, Go back to step #1

10. if you succeed at step #8, you will eventually feel the need to make money for rich people stuff, have a bad day of staking, then get cleaned anyways

Pain is just weakness leaving the body.

I know the difference, I just think "whom" sounds absolutely terrible. As for you're and your, there their they're, to two too, those I notice immediately and find really distracting.

The period goes inside the quotation marks in that first sentence btw :P

 

Periods and commas always go inside quotes. Colons and semicolons go outside of quotes. :thumbup:

 

Not if you're a part of the British English master race.

I usually just ignore whatever grammar inaccuracy someone makes, only informing them every once in a while if it makes their statement confusing. Screwing up the definition of a word, however, I either sigh in my head or get visibly irritated depending on what word and how badly they did it. Even then, I still don't feel bothered that much by it given what the English language is known for.

 

Different kind of annoyance in mind: People who seem to get angry because you don't share their sense of humor or laugh out loud to it if you do. It seems I am seen as a jerk or lack a sense of humor by some because I didn't respond to the jokes the use or laugh to in the way they expected. Can't I just giggle quietly to a joke if I liked it?

People who think that four wheel drive means that they're impervious to the weather and can drive like the road is perfectly dry.

I was thought this way too, in America.

 

See, that's why I don't like grammar nazis. Every teacher, every class, every area teaches English slightly so different. Languages evolve, ever read a Bible? Shakespear's work? It's shit, but it's written "correctly".

I normally play who and whom by ear. No one has yelled at me for it yet. I'd look the difference up, but it wouldn't make any difference.

 

And a question to the people who lose their bannanas when someone put's a your instead of a you're, or a their instead of they're or whatever. Are you a wizard or do you actually think about the letters you type? I give most of my posts a cursory proofread, which is why I don't confuse them too often visibly, but I am only thinking about the words in my head, not how to spell them. I haven't really payed attention to the letters I am hitting in years. I just think up the words and assume my fingers will figure it out. The downside is that for some words, I normally just type the default spelling, with 'your' being the worst. The only words I almost never have trouble with are two, to, and too, and I don't know why I am always able to choose which one I want.

Protip to never confuse your and you're: pronounce your like or with a y, you're like "you-err." Then it makes an difference to your ear, and it's easier to tell which to use.

My mouse keeps double clicking, and it's pissing me off. I think it's off warranty too, hopefully I'll have luck with Logitech customer support. I'll be upset if I have to drop another $80 on a new one.

 

How old is it? Usually it's because they're starting to be worn out when they do that. If it's fairly new, guess it has a problem. They usually last me 2 years before doing that.

Heh. I've been using the same mouse for 7 years now. It's starting to double-click, too.
