Annoying Poster Habits And Other Annoying Things That Annoy (Title Change)

[Doramius]

I don't believe in skepticism. :P

[smearbrick1]

I find that skepticism is almost always fully warranted. It's also the basis of the U.S. legal system.

How many times has someone said "I can't rip this [barely protected] DVD. There must be some new copy protection.", and the reply (or seven) was "You're an idiot. I ripped that with [random ripper]. Clean the disc." I wouldn't fault those guys for being skeptical.

No, in that case, the skepticism is quite warranted ass these people are obvious retards with not one clue. These are the type of people who couldn't come up with an original thought even if someone died and willed them one.

Pardon my lack of specifity.

People who counter the "Windows XP is a good OS" statement with....

"Why in the hell would I use Windows XP, I can use Google desktop (or whatever) and store 99 different icons. So much better than Windows XP."

Is this even a valid arguement? How many people really use 99 icons on their desktop? Maybe it was 900... I can't remember.

People who have 3 year old kids that always telling you how brilliant they are. Meanwhile, the parent can't take the kid anywhere because they are either:

a. Obnoxious
b. Shitting their pants every half hour.

Brilliant indeed.

And...

Stop showing me pictures of your ugly kids and asking me if I think they are cute. I don't need to see a picture of your kid with Kool-aid stains around his/her mouth with their straw-colored, stick-straight hair sticking to their dirty faces. It's not cute, it's freakin' disgusting!

Your kid is ugly and dirty just like his mother!

This really annoys me.

I'm at work and have to visit another floor in the building I rarely visit. I meet with one of the supervisors there. To my knowledge this person has a degree in college higher than an associates.

WHY THE HECK CAN THIS PERSON NOT TALK PROFESSIONALLY?

Spoken language from her:
"I'm go'win to the li-berry to drop off some büks."

"She axed me if I didn't not have a purse that night."

"I wouldn't have boughtn't it if I knew it'd get broked down like that."

Her favorite transition phrase is "needless to say" and she'll say it about 5 times in a simple statement. There's a running gag about her and that phrase here at work.

Her written memos & emails:

"ARE annual picnic is Aug. 4."

"We are changing the structure of offices in Alburkerkie and Tukson."

She's in management? I'm surprised she graduated the 8th grade.

Can we make it a sticky on every forum that the word "complete" is not spelled "c-o-m-p-l-e-a-t".

If you think it is spelled that way then you are a COMPLETE moron.

I have no sympathy for lazy, bad spellers.

smearbrick1 - compleat is acceptable if used correctly

The American Heritage Dictionary gives this for Compleat :

Being an outstanding example of a kind; quintessential

So it's fine if your ego tells you your new guide is really that good, but incorrect if you are describing the end of a process, for example.

So is that your compleat post?

[guns1inger]

I was also going to say how much it pisses me off when posters just drop into to be pedantic, then disappear again without actually offering solutions, but it seemed too obvious . . . . .

Another Pet peeve of mine.

Don't I feel like a total chode. Learn something new everyday. My annoyance still stands though, as I've been witness to many people using the "compleat" spelling where "complete" was required.

Doesn't anyone think that "compleat" just looks really strange?

I agree completely. I think those people are compleat fools.

[MackemX]

come guys, let it all out now. Get rid of the negative vibes so you can post more positive stuff

[BJ_M]

[smearbrick1]

Yeah... I'm not feeling too positive these days. To all those people who say I should be more positive and get away from the negative, I say....

F OFF!!!!

How's that for positivity?

I want a t-shirt that says:

"I'm only here because I can't decide between the rope and gun."

May be a bit long for a t-shirt....

tsk, tsk someone's edited the post and it wasn't me as I uploaded a pic and didn't link to one

I doubt it was Baldrick so is it allowed for mods to edit people's posts without notification or just cause?

should I report this in feedback as I feel this is a violation as who knows what else could be being edited?
