Things That Annoy You

[46blitz]

Mine is adding "on" to hate.  When did we start doing that?  I can ride on the train, walk on the street.  I guess I could eat and love on my pizza but that would messy.

Only those with limited vocabulary. Normal people can say 'I don't like very much'. Or 'I prefer something else'.

The same with 'fail'. Head in lions mouth fail. What the fuck does that mean? It's out of context and woeful illiteracy. Something MUST be done; are you with us 46, or agin us?

I probably say those words to random people about 10-12 times peer week.

Jeeze what a slut.. I thought you were wholesome.

Things that annoy me...

People who ask themselves questions aloud in order to convey a thought or opinion. Example: "Do I love oranges? Yes, I do. Do I love peeling them? No, I do not, but I eat them anyway."- For f*ck's sake, why are you interviewing yourself?!?!?

Use of the following phrases:

"Do me a solid" -So, you want me to shit on you?

"Reach out" Example: "I need you to reach out to our IT department and ask that they resolve the issue." Just say "contact"! "I need you to contact our IT department and ask that they resolve the issue."!  The phrase, "reach out" brings the vision of grabby needy arms shaking and reeeeaaaching out AT me or for something. So corny, I can hardly stand it.
                                         
"At the end of the day" - Please, for the love of God, replace this with "ultimately"!

I've literally nothing to hide; so that explains why you open my vids to you.

46blitz, I realize this is entriely off topic, but your avatar is one of the most terrifying scenes/stills in horror movie history.

Do I agree with your post? Yes.

Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld did this A LOT.  So annoying.

Going forward; That one drives me mad when they mean, this is what will happen next.

Bear with me; No.

Low hanging fruit..You mean easy, or accessible?

[ziznak]

I'm with you on the "reach out" and "do me a solid."

"Do me a solid" def sounds like somebody is asking for poop in a non-diarrhea form. 
"reach out" ranks up there with "moving forward" and the word "proactive" in that it's always used by some fake pc office-land piece of shit.

[BattyBrooke]

This may very well be my favorite topic now. You guys (Yorkshire, ziznak and eddie) are making me laugh so hard!

I haven't shown you my man boobs so I can only assume Eddie has sent you a photo of his dainty heart shaped pubic hair to make you laugh. I can't say about Ziznak, as I'm not in a physical relationship with him.

Ha, Anthony Bourdain loves doing that maneuver.  In his case, I guess he is interviewing himself.  It must be nice to tour the world, enjoy fine food and liquor and get paid for it.

OH SURE! Ruin the thread and send BB running for the hills! good job.

You started it boyo. (I'm not Welsh, but I think it adds gravitas: I think that's Latin) I'm confused now.

Yup, you're right. My harassment post was an attempted indirect dig at MV. Using your comment as the springboard to zany, unmitigated jocularity, sadly  failed. I should leave the advanced maneuvers of humor and clever wit to the professionals.   

PS. Valentines Day is right around the corner, thus, the heart shaped manscaping. It makes me feel pretty!

People who let their dogs bark, and bark, and bark, for no reason.

That is timeless. Family next door has a dog that barks for 8-12 years. DOG dies.. family gets another dog that barks all decade or so long. This is in every town, city, or street.

I LOVE dogs, but what the hell are they trying to say? ALL NIGHT!?

Listening to the neglected dog downstairs howl through the night as i type.  Why don't they just let him in?  It's cold outside!  Gaaaaahhh!  Hate this.

I hate this one.
A few years ago, I was in JoAnne's craft supply store and had to stop by the bathroom. There was a note on the stall door about not flushing tampons. I cannot remember the exact wording, but it was an entire page of instructions in corporate speak, and the phrase 'going forward' was used twice. Really? It made it really hard for me to resist pulling a wad of paper towels from the dispenser and jamming them in the toilet.

Don't get me started on barking dogs! So annoying! I used to get mad at the dogs, but it's not the dogs fault they have idiot owners who don't train them. It's sad, people think they can care for a dog like they would a hampster or goldfish. Give them food and water and keep them in a cage or in the backyard. Okay, maybe the goldfish was a bad example. You get my point  though.

What? Goldfish can't be kept in  cages? So that's why it died when I got it home. Bugger. No-one told me that.

Oh man, that really pisses me off to hear of people mistreating a dog like that. As I type this I'm laying in bed with my dog and two cats in bed with me. My pets are family.

Yep. Me, too. I have kidnapped and rehomed dogs in similar situations.

Edit: not for barking!  For being neglected and left outside in the extreme heat or cold. Some people just shouldn't have pets. Or kids. Wish it was as easy to rehome some of those I have seen in bad situations, too.

[Ben Shockley]

...Some people just shouldn't have pets. Or kids.

Damn right.
As for barking dogs: I pray for the days when my next-door neighbor (we're in houses, with lawns) will have someone home during morning hours, when I like to sleep.  Otherwise their backyard-fenced dog will start yOOOOOOOWling to evoke barks from other neighborhood dogs, just to feel some company .... if the folks are at home, he won't.
Right: why the hell do people keep animals in their back lawns who do absolutely nothing but annoy neighbors..?

I have always had dogs. Not that long ago we had 5. All of them big dogs, the smallest was 60 pounds. They never spent more than an hour outside unless being walked. Overnight should be illegal. I have been known to toss a half pound of ground meet with some benadryl flavorings over the fence.

[UnscreenedCaller]

I have a big 75 lb husky with double layers of fur. I believe she has a lot of wolf in her. Her photo is on the dog's thread. One year, when she was younger, she refused to come indoors during the winter. She had a doghouse to keep warm, but she is a stubborn, willful dog bless her and nothing tempted her to come indoors. Fortunately, she doesn't bark, at least at people, although raccoons are another matter. She's a howler, and she howls indoors to communicate. I felt really guilty leaving her out there, but she was in her element that year. Fortunately, she hasn't done that again although she absolutely goes wild when we have snow.

It used to really piss me off when I went to see the Grateful Dead and so many morons brought their dogs. A 100 degree parking lot full of strangers with lots of drugs and little sense is nowhere to take your damn dog! Plus, the idiots would either just let the dogs wander loose or tie them up to the car when they went into the show. Usually without access to water. Nice. I used to carry lots water to give to the dogs. God, I am getting old. That was a long time ago, but it seems like only yesterday.
