^You're so pushy for a yellow-star-guy...

 

Snnnap!

^Best thing I've heard all day!!!!

 

Let me repeat my offer David, $10 check to me, I'll donate $12 in your name!!!

 

Rich, can we change the star color for the non-contributors?  The chosen color star has a bad history!!

I'll donate $10 in David's name, you donate another $10, then Rick can give him grey stars, and he'll feel like a real Urban Ohesian!

 

People in Cincinnati who say "acrosst".

 

as in the weather chick who just said that bad weather was found acrosst the tri-state!

Biggest pet peeve is simple.... People asking what my pet peeves are!!

that and blondes taking advantage of me.!.

People that constantly "LOL" or "LMAO" as a condescending response to someone they don't agree with on this forum.

While I understand "LOL," "LMAO," and "IIRC," I detest when I can not figure out other acronyms mean.

People that use LMAO.

 

If you actually laughed so hard that your backside actually came off, you need to be calling an ambulance or otherwise seeking medical attention rather than commenting on something on the internet. LOL is much more acceptable, and ROFL is also acceptable if you actually fall out of your chair laughing. Otherwise quit exaggerating, it's annoying!!!

 

As a side note, my wife once laughed at something she read, so hard that she fell out of our rather cheap office chair and dislocated her hip. In that scenario ROFLMAO would not be a total exageration and would be acceptable to me. For some reason when she remembered that I had promised to replace that cheap chair and it was why she was in so much pain, she didn't say anything remotely like ROFLMAO to me.

I knew you kids would get a chuckle out of that one! 

 

Well, maybe not Grumpy Smurf.  :P    he he he he

May I suggest CQTS, Chuckling Quietly To Self?  It is my most common response to internet humor.  Occasionally I think SIDA would also work. That is Snorts In Derisive Amusement.

It's too bad you can't make your own graphics.

^^Haha...I like those!  I am sure those much more represent what someone is actually doing when they type LOL.  CQTS.

I don't know if this is exactly a peeve, but I hate it when patrons give waiters a hard time. Waiting is such a hard job and I really get bothered with overhearing customers' attitudes.

I hate this too, but unless you've worked in a restaurant you would have no idea how disorganized and mismanaged so many of them are, and since the waiter is the main person with whom the public comes in contact, he/she is invariably the scapegoat for the all the mishaps and incompetence behind the scenes. Not that that's any excuse for abuse :x

there is a special place in *&%$ for people that abuse children, the eldery, people with disbilities, animals and waiters or other service staff. plus seriously, have you no sense messing with someone that has access to your food and drink ? Darwin award and bad karma to those rude to these hard working folks.

I am never...NEVER rude to wait staff. Not because of a heightened sense of empathy for the hard work they do (although I do feel for them) but because I don't want a boogie as part of my sandwich. Sadly, based on that Domino's video that's been going around, I fear I've probably eaten more than my fair share of boogies in my lifetime  :oops:

jackasses who let their dog poop in front of your stoop but dont clean it up!

Amen.  I realized on Easter that I'm one of the only people in my family without livestock.  Sorry, I just hate poop.

 

Here's my pet peeve, from last night:  DJs and dance remixes.  Screw that.  People need to start hiring bands again.  I see the end of civilization when I see artists replaced with robots.  Autoworkers was bad enough, but at musicians I draw the line.  Have we forgotten Milli Vanilli?  They were sent from heaven to remind us that giving a concert and playing recordings for people are two different things.  To do the latter and act like it's the former, which is my take on electronic music, is to demean everyone who's ever had the guts to write and perform an original creation for others.  Without those people, DJs would have nothing to recontextualize.  A collage is not a painting, and they're not equal.

Yes - my work computer blocks all media files.  I see lots of squares with X's in them throughout urban ohio, or just blank spaces if they are embedded you tube clips.

Maybe you should just do your job while at work then.  :-P

That reminds me of my anger with the iPhone. I can do just about anything except flash animations. Never run into those ever....

 

It does everything else pretty well, heck it even has spellcheck, but no flash?!?! Bay humbug! (sorry if it doesn't make sense I've been drinking)

When people slow down 15 below the speed limit when going by a speed camera.  On Chester, people will take it from 35 down to 20 when going by the speed camera (speed limit is 35).

Or when people on highways will not pass a police car, at any speed, even if the police is doing 10 under the speed limit.

Or when people on the highway see a cop shooting radar/laser and slow down 10 mph slower than they were already going, even when doing speed limit.

You can get a ticket for going too slow also, so why go 10 below speed limit, on an interstate, right past a cop?

When people use the term "touch base"

OMG my supervisor says this in every single conversation, and she is on the phone pretty much all day long.  If I had a dollar for every time she said she wanted to touch base with someone, I would be a millionaire.

^ Maybe it's third base.

LOL!

What annoys me even more is that the project manager of the last project I was on used the word "vet" about every 30 seconds: "we need to vet it out", "let's have a vetting meeting", "the vetting process is almost complete".  Geez was that annoying, especially because we had so many meetings to vet, we hardly had any time to actually get the work done!

just as annoying as the above, although they don't seem as common as a few years ago: "You've got a lot on your plate"...and "We've been playing phone tag"

Office catch phrases are annoying as hell

People who assume you don't understand/speak another language.  I constantly tell my nephews/nieces and assistant never to talk about people in Spanish because you can never be sure how many languages that person may speak or understand!

 

This weekend, on three occasions, people spoke about me in another language.

 

[*]I'm minding my own business at the grocery store and asked the guy if they had an item.  Apparently another customer, just prior to me asking for assistance, asked this guy for help.  When the guy returns to me, he tells me "we're out well have next week", he then turns to the couple and says he has one thing but not another.  The woman turns to the man, she was with, and says (in Spanish), "They always look out for their own, fuckin' Puerto Rican's!!".  I was like WTF did you say?  but before she could answer, the guy tell her he isn't PR and she shouldn't assume.

[*]I'm in line to get some slices.  The cheese is rock hard and cold, so I take my slice back.  My assistants partner's slice is also cold.  So we go back to the counter and let the guy know what's up.  The mgr. guy says we have a new guy here and he's sorry.  The new guy says (in Italian ) to the manager, what the fuck is he complaining about he's should be glad I served him.  When I and my assistant's partner responded, in Italian, he damn near shit a brick!  Don't eat the pizza place across from Woody's in Phily!  Racist bastards!!!

[*]We're all on the train and we have all the seats in one row.  I had my bag on the table and this queen says, "oh that's a cute and so are your sneakers" then turns to his friends and says in Spanish, "You know that's not real! I wonder where he got those sneakers?  That bitch probably stole them!"  Unfortunate for him, I'd a cocktail and she caught hell!  She almost got hit with the bag and my size 14 up his ass!

The moral of the story kids, never, ever talk about someone in another language.  If you do, be prepared to have you face broken! and size 48 shoe in your @ss!

Size 48 shoes?  Are you buying all your shoes in Europe now or are you Ronald McDonald?

There's a type colloquilalism I've noticed that drives me batsh!t crazy. Somebody (i.e. my assistant) will say / type out in an email "this needs completed", or "this needs updated"

 

No, dear, this "needs" a verb.
