Pet peeves

[ShinigamiSama]

Ah, so YOU'RE the one viewer! Thanks, sweetie. Now I feel better.

I've found that it doesn't update very well. I've had some attachments that I know have been viewed on different machines, on different networks and no cookies - yet they've remained at zero. Then about 4 days later they catch up and theres about 32 views.

I didn't post though. I just went back and fixed that.

And thanks for calling me a no one. *harumph*

I just figured it was someone who was confused and looking for boobie pics. If I had known it was YOU....

I am often confused and seeking boobie pics. At that particular moment, however, I was not.

Diane Keaton's gloves

Off-topic from riling up a certain someone, I want to state that one of my recent pet-peeves is the fact that Diane Keaton can't seem to stop making movies about computers and being naked.
What irritates me even more is that wriggling worm inside that says in his little wormy voice "Of course you want to see that movie! It looks awesome!"
Stupid propaganda.

My pet peeve is that I posted a picture of my dog to the pet thread just now and no one looked at it.

I was just going to tell you that your dog is the cutest, most blissed-out dog I think I've ever seen.
In fact, if dogs can achieve a zen-like state, that's it right there.

Hey, I like Diane Keaton.

The dog looks relaxed because I treat him like a king. Note his position on top of the futon.

Daniel Schorr, Nancy Pelosi, and the media



The folk in the broadcast media (and the sheeple who watch them) are so completely and utterly clueless about energy that it defies belief. The demagogic politicians and 90% of the populace haven't the foggiest idea in hell where gasoline comes from. The only thing they seem to know is that buried somewhere in the The Bill of Rights, there just has to be a clause entitling Americans to perpetually cheap gasoline.

The finger pointing "pols" can't resist crying "conspiracy," "excess profits," and blaming somebody (anybody!) whenever the price of gasoline rises. They obviously believe the average American is a moron (in that, they're probably right- but the "pols" sure aren't helping to educate them). Who in hell do they think sets the price of a barrel of petroleum? The U.S. consumes 25% of the world's supply of petroleum. The numbskulls obviously must believe the other 75% is consumed by Chinese, Germans, Brits, Aussies, Russians, Froggies, etc. who slavishly pay exactly and precisely what we do.

Most people are unaware of the technological miracles required to produce petroleum in 10,000' feet of water from 25,000' below the bottom of the sea. The vessels and methods have to be designed to withstand hurricane force winds, 70' seas and never spill a drop. God forbid if they ever did; The New York Times, Daniel Schorr, Nancy, Diane, Barbara, Hillary (all of whom are economic parasites) are all waiting in the wings with sharp knives. The only thing these folk ever produced in their lives was hot air. Nobody on this board and nobody you know has ever seen the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve ("ANWR"). The odds are that neither you nor anybody you know ever will see ANWR. Yet, while we daily send billions and billions of dollars overseas to OPEC, we won't help ourselves to the petroleum that lies in ANWR or within a stone's throw of Santa Barbara. It is insane.

People who have never met a payroll or served in combat should never be elected to any national office.

One of my constructs of hell is an eternity of being forced to listen to Daniel (the "whiner") Schorr or Barbara Boxer or Diane Feinstein or Chuck Schumer or Arlen Specter or Karl Rove or George Will or George Stephanopoulis or (god, forbid) Hillary. Professional politicians are the creation of Beezlebub himself. The broadcast media are nothing more than a collection of rumor-mongering, incessant chatterers and half-wits.

The use of colorful, oversized fonts to write anything other than a specialized headline is unnecessary. I find myself torn, however, because it's damned easy to read on my monitor.

Stop it anyway.

Oddly, I agree with almost everything you wrote.

ok not sure if this has been covered here or not so giving it a shot!

If it has i'll appologize and let it die out...

Mine: taking the time to post something nice to a persons thread and they dont give you the courtesy of a response...now i know the occasional multi response is neccessary, however not to acknowledge a post is rude!


Ok everyone let them rip

I generally try to respond, but a lot of times, the manner in which posts are made do not beg for a response. Other times, I know it's happened that I have read a post, but didn't have the time to respond that very minute, fully intending to do so down the road, but then forgetting about the posts, for not going back and rereading them.

I do agree that it's a nice courtesy to respond, though.

What's up with the Shins going on SNL a full week and a half before their new album is released? I totally thought it was out and got all pissed when I couldn't find it at Best Buy.

 

[rrocks37]

Annoying drivers who don't let me over when I need to exit. Who purposely sit there and ride in my blind spot even though my fucking blinker is on. I hate that!!

 

[thør]

Nobody on this board and nobody you know has ever seen the Alaska National Wildlife Reserve ("ANWR").

I have been to ANWR.

 

[shy slave]

My current pet peeves are about the boards in Lit.

1) Every forum seems to be turning into the GB with confrontation in almost every thread. The whole of Lit will soon be called The GB, post your insults here

2) When a thread starter asks a question and it is the same one that has been asked in several different ways over the past few days. It really makes me want an emoticon that *sighs*

3) When a thread starter asks a simple 'yes/no' question, someone responds with a 'yes' and the next post down states 'No' or 'I doubt it.' FFS doesn't anyone bother to read anything anymore??


Oh Thank you, I feel better now

People who lack the ability to use their fucking common sense!!

And the mother fucker who broke into my car today

I'm good other than that

Something I always wondered, If it is called common sense; why do so few people have it?

Sorry to hear about the car though, will the insurance pay for any damage done?

LOL ... I often wondered that myself.

Deductible is $500 ... the busted window is not even $200. Nothing was taken, it was outside of a gas station in which I wasn't even in for 5mins.

Something tells me I should quit smoking

That sucks.

Another driving peeve (not sure if this has been covered yet or not. Please forgive if it has):

When you approach an intersection and the light is green and the opposing car wants to make a left turn, but waits until you're a little too close for comfort to do so, forcing you to hit the breaks while they are in the midst of turning. This happened to me today. There was nobody behind me for miles, so it's not as if the bastard was waiting for a sizable enough break in the traffic to make his turn. I swear, some people are dicks when they get behind the wheel on purpose.

wait what'd I do?

 

[Lorali82]

I also hate it when I:

Bump my shin
Have to re-shingle my roof
Am interrupted while watching The Shining.

Are there any more? We need to get this out of your system.

lol I just couldn't pass it up

Nah, it's just that they don't care about you enough to admit to themselves that you are even there, let alone make decisions based on your existence. That other driver was The Most Important Person In The World, don'tcha know.

Nothing like post-post-post-Christmas cheer

I hate when my father gives me a Christmas present (late, not that it matters greatly) and it's all gift cards to stores that are five minutes from where he lives and an hour from where I live.

Oh, and the fact that when fathers don't have the best relationships with their daughters, they try to make up for it by giving them the mounds of superfluous crap they had lying around the house but were too lazy to take to Goodwill.
Thanks for that set of ancient, grubby placemats, dad.
And the giant picture of rust-colored pigeons.
Not to mention the bag of Beanie Babies that smelled like fusty old basement and ass.

I don't normally go in for the crudities of internet abbreviations, but I think that pack of shit calls for a "WTF???"

Damn, why did he even bother?
