Pet peeves

[koalabear]

People who say "I could care less," when the correct phrase is "I couldn't care less." This really pisses me off.

I could care less............which means I could care less, but your not worth the emotion.

people that mis-name files, name them badly, submit bad data to online CD databases, emos and people that hate on good music because {insert generic main stream said {generic statement}}
like what you want fuck the rest

Shameful when there's so much and no one to share it with.

Which means you do care. Awww, how sweet.

This is the same reason I first pump the paper towel holder a few times when I enter a public restroom. I want the very last thing I touch to be the only thing that wasn't touched by anyone else. I'll pre-load the dispenser with about four or five jerks of the handle, then do my business and wash up, leaving the water running. I tear off the clean sheets and dry my hands, use the towel to turn off the faucet, then pull the door handle with the dirty towels and toss the ball into the trash as I walk out the door.

Why go to the trouble? Because the last dirty fuck that walked out of that room probably didn't wash his hands and the las thing he touched before his fingers gripped the door handle was his filthy fucking cock or ass.

I do this as well and my pet peeve that is associated with this process is when there isn't a trash can by the door.

People who can't tell the difference between "Less Than" and "Fewer Than" and use the wrong one!!

Arrrrgh!!

 

[monique1971]

When people start getting out of my car before I've turned the engine off.
Again with the people of the world who find it imperative to shave those three damn seconds off. What's with that?

Stop driving these people around. Make 'em take the bus. That'll show 'em.

people that make a text file for notes for say... exel and name is something strange like, anacron.txt

and you ever stick a CD to rip it and it gives you bluegrass on a rock album?
even though everything else is correct - more or less

emo = mid life crisis with more crying and less work and balding and more whine

Oh, I thought you were actually criticizing the sentiment that something becomes uncool once it hits the mainstream. This is another one of my peeves. That it's only okay to like a band as long as they're struggling, indie, and generally unknown. But once you see them on MTV, they're sellouts and you aren't allowed to like them anymore.

Don't know why, but if I meet him, I'm going to slap him.

well thats the other side of mainstream, I usually stop liking bands when they hit top ten; not because their not cool, but because they're so over played it hurts

Lorali seems to understand what the fuck he's talking about. Please, good woman, explain this to me.

Dude, do you really think your writing is all that great? Really? Really?!? I'm amazed that you still seem to think that paying for a fancy education is the same thing as being intelligent.

If anyone has forgotten about our last little bet, let me remind you:

I'm getting really tired of telling you how to write. For once, pretty please, demonstrate some modicum of ability in this area. If you can post one complete message that is correctly composed and spelled, I will forever grant you immunity from prosecution.

All I'm seeing is you using one argument over and over again. As for demonstrating my linguistic abilities I'd be happy to email you my pages and pages of boring dry documentation. But until you manage to come up a real argument that doesn't involve you're military service or English prowess. [this sentence continues and this should be a comma] I'm going to continue to bait you on for the shear pleasure of watching some poor twit break a gasket.

As for the movie Dune, you're right the version with Sting does suck horribly and should be pulled, however the actor portraying Paul Muad'dib was a very good choice, the only good choice.

Ouch. Still stings, eh?

I'm still waiting on that fucking email with the attachments you promised. I need to see these important papers you've written. And why wouldn't you want me to read these things? I mean, it would certainly put to rest any doubts I might have about your alleged intellect and for once you'd be able to say that you were right and I was wrong.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why writing is so hard for you. Is there something about the keyboard that confounds you? Maybe you're stymied (I love that word!) by the letter forms. Are you easily distracted by shiny objects or bright lights? Oh, wait! Maybe there's some kind of mixed martial arts fighting next to the desk you're working at and they keep bumping into your chair? What frustrates you so?

 

[Lorali82]

My landlord is full of empty promises. Oh you're going to replace my back door this summer? The door you promised to replace when I moved in a year and a half ago that's been costing me a fortune on my heating bills because the last tenant literally kicked it in so it doesn't shut properly? The door about which you call me up and tell me you're going to replace every 4 months? That door? Yeah, it would be great if you could actually fix that.

The Great Ethanol Boondoggle

Ethanol Demand Threatens Food Prices
Rising corn prices are already affecting everything from the cost of
tortillas in Mexico City to the cost of producing eggs in the United
States.

By Brittany Sauser

The recent rise in corn prices--almost 70 percent in the past six
months--caused by the increased demand for ethanol biofuel has come much
sooner than many agriculture economists had expected.


According to the United States Department of Agriculture, this year the
country is going to use 18 to 20 percent of its total corn crop for the
production of ethanol, and by next year that will jump to 25 percent.
And that increase, says Marshall Martin, an agriculture economist at
Purdue University, "is the main driver behind the price increase for
corn."


The jump in corn prices is already affecting the cost of food. The most
notable example: in Mexico, which gets much of its corn from the United
States, the price of corn tortillas has doubled in the past year,
according to press reports, setting off large protest marches in Mexico
City. It's almost certain that most of the rise in corn prices is due to
the U.S. ethanol policy, says David Victor, director of the Program on
Energy and Sustainable Development at Stanford University.


The rising food costs fueled by ethanol demand are also affecting U.S.
consumers. "All things that use corn are going to have higher prices and
higher cost, to some extent, that will be passed on to consumers," says
Wally Tyner, professor of agriculture economics at Purdue University.
The impact of this is being felt first in animal feed, particularly
poultry and pork. Poultry feed is about two-thirds corn; as a result,
the cost to produce poultry--both meat and eggs--has already risen about
15 percent due to corn prices, says Tyner. Also expect corn syrup--used
in soft drinks--to get more expensive, he says.


The situation will only get worse, says David Pimentel, a professor in
the department of entomology at Cornell University. "We have over a
hundred different ethanol plants under construction now, so the
situation is going to get desperate," he says. Adding to the worries
about corn-related food prices is President Bush's ambitious goal,
announced in his last State of the Union address, that the United States
will produce 35 billion gallons of ethanol by 2017.


Still, some suggest that the overheated ethanol market could soon cool
down. "Politicians will see that, first of all, it is not helping our
oil independence," says Pimentel. "It is increasing the price of food
for people in the U.S., it is costing an enormous sum of money for
everyone, and it is contributing to environmental problems. But I can
imagine it is going to take another year or more before politicians
realize they have a major disaster on their hands."

when you get your drive way cleared even though you are not supposed to do anything strenuous, and the fucking snow plow comes and blocks you right back in! fuck i hate that!!!

People who do the little quotation sign in the air when you're talking to them, I dont know why but I fucking hate that.

Whats the point of it?

My local news reported on at least 5 common household objects/substances/activities that could kill me this morning. And there's one more, but they won't tell me until 11:00. Those bastards!

Having my grandpa image/ideal shattered.

Not having a grandpappy as a girl, I've garnered a stupendous soft spot for elderly men. When I see them, I get all teary, thinking about sitting on their laps to listen to stories, getting snuggles and comfort. There's a restaurant where I live that caters mostly to older people and I love seeing the men shuffling in and out, wives or grand kids in tow.

Any who...

My poor little fantasies char up when, after I grin all sweet and friendly-like at one of these gentlemen, I get in return a smirk so dirty I'm left gaping and cringing. Three "L" words come to mind and it just ain't right. Sometimes I wonder if it's me projecting (only god knows why), but, my word, shouldn't some smiles have an expiration date?
