Football players who celebrate after every tackle. Way to do your job...you don't have to jump around like a jackass. A touchdown is one thing, but there is a tackle on 99% of the plays...wait til something special happens until you take 30 seconds to celebrate.

I love that especially when they're losing.

Anything that occurs so you have the opportunity to ask "was it like that in the Navy"...cheesy example:

Your in the breakroom or whatever and he pours a cup of coffee and says "see that's how we poured cups of coffee when I was in the Navy" you turn to the sink and fill up a glass of water and remark "is that how they filled glasses of water in the navy" ....something along those lines....you being able to ask if you have appropriately performed a task LIKE THEY DID IN THE NAVY is the operative goal here...sorry I'm a dork...:(

Exactly what I was thinking.... like when they make a tackle and they're like "yeah.. what?? you just got knocked" and it's the first thing they've done all game... in the fourth quarter.

why don't you make yourself up a history of attending band camp, a al american pie.

walk by him, and start spouting off, 'this one time, at band camp, we had to do what you're doing, it was SO much FUN!'

a couple of days of that will probably make him suicidal.

There could be a chance you're talking about what I'm about to say, but I have no idea. Never actually seen it, but maybe someone knows what I'm talkin bout

My brother once told me about a game where one team was losing really really bad and after some big tackle by the losing team, the tackler started doing some kind of dance/celebration, and, without saying much, the tv announcer guy takes the yellow on screen pen (whatever you call it), draws a circle around the dancing player, and draws an arrow to the score on screen. :lol

Yes! And all of the ignorant fucks who walk around saying "Git R' Done" everytime they do something.


AAH! I hate that.


Along with the ATM thing I hate when people call it a "VIN number" They're calling it a "Vehicle Identification Number number" wtf
Lots of mispelled words bother me.
People who argue for no reason.
People who won't take your explanation and just keep hounding you about things.
I hate it when my roomate or her boyfriend won't turn off the bathroom light.
The toilet paper has to fall off the roll away from the wall. So it's gotta go over, not under.
People who run up and down the hallways at night.
Busy intersections that don't have left turn arrows.
People who don't wash their hands in public restrooms bother me.
Teachers who say, "Uhm" "uh" "I...uh" a lot.



I'm sure I'll think of more later.

Food court here is really bad! I wish we had more mom and pop places to eat, mom and pop pizza places back home are the shit, can't be 50 cent a slice pizza.

Pennies.

Pennies really bother me, they really have almost no value except as sort of a placeholder and receiving them as change usually just pisses me off. I mean, I don't really want everything rounded up to the nearest nickel, but...

Also, change used to confuse me a LOT when I was a kid. I just didn't get why 1. they weren't all the same color and 2. why the sizes didn't correspond with the value (case in point, the dime)

People who think the world revolves around them. I was working one night, the customers were leaving since the movie was over, and I said "Goodbye" to this one lady who's walking down the exit hallway like I would with any customer and she doesn't say anything. Fair enough, it happens all the time. Well apparently, she's with this handicapped woman so she comes back in the theatre to get her, but there is a rush of customers walking in the opposite direction of her. So I'm saying goodbye to them as well and the lady turns around and says to me "Why do you keep saying 'Goodbye'? I'm not leaving yet!" It had me so irritated that I actually said out loud to her that I was saying goodbye to the other people. Was she completely oblivious to the fact that other people were leaving the theatre? My God, some people are so stupid. Needless to say when she walked out with the handicapped woman, I didn't say a word to her.

hee hee, i had a professor in college......don't you love it when you have teachers or professors who have a verbal tic, or a word they fall back on without realizing it?

I had a prof who said "indeed" every other word- Native American History.

"So indeed there are a lot of mascots that Native Americans.....indeed find offensive".

I also had one prof who on the first day of class started talking (he was standing in front of us) and didn't look at us until 10 minutes into the class.

My Geology lab professor last semester wasn't nervous teaching or anything, he was a great smart guy, he just talked a lot. But he said "as far as that's concerned" or "as far as that goes" at the end of about every sentence.

We also had a leadership guy for a small group in high school and he freakin said "when all's said and done" a million times! It got so annoying

Empty Splenda packets. My wife makes her coffee with a couple packets of Splenda. Instead of tossing them into the garbage, she leaves them on the counter. I mean, com'on, the garbage is not more than 3 feet from where the packets were left. :BANG

But like my dad told me when I first got married "don't let the little stuff get to you. it's not worth it." he also said to "pick your battles wisely because one way or the other, you'll lose all of them." Sage advice so I mention something about them every so often, but I don't dwell or pick a fight about them. It's not worth, not getting laid for a week. :D

dishwashing is the WORST. Especially if you don't have a dishwasher and you live with people who don't soak pots/pans after they are done, or they just let the crap pile in the sink so when you want to go use the frickin' mixing bowl to make cookies, you can't.

laundry is easy too. i can't believe you people. throw clothes into big machine, push button. return in one hour, transfer clothes into dryer, push second big button.

Word :thumbsup Matching socks is the worst. I think I'd pay someone to do it if it was an option.

It's not so much putting away my stuff that bothers me. It's putting away her stuff. Half the damn things won't stay on a hanger or have some super secret loop you have to hang it by....and how the hell do I hang a skirt? And god forbid if I put her panties in the bra section. :eek :twak

Socks are easy. Buy simple black socks and simple white socks. Matching becomes apparent. ;) Though I have to admit, I've left the house wearing one blue and one black sock before. :o

I don't think I have two pairs of socks that are exactly the same, so my only problem is if I haven't washed clothes in a while and somehow end up with a few socks left that are missing mates.

Me and my roomate just kicked my slob roomate out like 10 mins ago! We told her and her boyfriend need to move out because we didn't sign a lease to live with him and she doesn't lift a finger and ruins our pot and pans by leaving crusty hamburger helper in there for days at a time. :monkey

First off, the question wasn't as to why the spoon is on the packets. It's why the used spoon is left on the counter at all. It was answered by the "in case I wanna use it again" flimsy answer.

And about dishes... in my last apartment my roommates were horrible at living on their own, especially my friend I went into the apt. with who apparently had never done dishes, so he didn't. They piled up to inches over the top of the sink before the one roommate who ate in the most often did them. Then there'd be some left. And occasionally, I'd give up and do them, even though I might use a few glasses and one or two plates during the week.

Finally, I was like this is bullshit, everyone needs to pull their weight, and I told them all how everyone should just do the rinse and put it in the dishwasher right away thing. Since they were already piled up, I asked my friend to do them and he was hesitant but finally did. But everyone agreed it was a good idea. Worked out for a few weeks. Then I go home for the weekend and come back to another full pile. Like I had to be there to enforce it or something :BANG

Only two weeks left and I was moving out, so I didn't touch em, whatever.

But when I moved in my new apartment, there was a sign over the sink written by one of the guys living here that laid out that exact same plan, cuz apparently they hadn't been doing it before. No real problems here thus far :thumbsup

I have this roommate who once left me a note to clean the kitchen... Now, we were in the same room. I left the room for a minute, came out, he was gone, and there was that note. It was Saturday and I had worked all day, he had not. The next day was the same case. Yet he expected me to clean and didn't even ask me directly. I took down the dry erase board he had written it on, since I'd only put it up on the fridge so I could write down phone messages for them! :rolleyes

Oh no, that's fine. I'm that person too (I think a couple days ago I bought a pack of gum and a coke with mine). Love the debit, but unless the person has NEVER used one before it shouldn't take more than a couple seconds right?

People that don't realize IM is the lowest priority form of communication so if I ignore them (away message or not) they get all pissy.

Says who? There was a time when telephones were new and few people used them and there probably was a lack of some sort of phone-etiquette. Then came cell phones, followed with e-mail and instant messager services. It's not just some kids thing anymore.

That doesn't sound like much of a "big stink." It's common courtesy to say some acknowledgement of parting when ending a conversation or meeting with someone. You don't just turn and walk away from someone, you don't just hang up on someone. It's not any different on AIM.

Doesn't change the fact it's the lowest priority communication with me and everyone I've ever known to use it. The very structure of IM makes it low key.

I'll fire off an IM to a coworker asking him a question. He'll probably answer the question in I dunno 5 minutes, 30, 2 hours, whatever. He's not sitting at his desk just waiting for IMs to come in, he's working. I don't get upset when he "ignores" me. If I really needed the answer to the question ASAP I'd call him or visit him.

My girlfriend and I IM each other while I'm at work. All of a sudden my boss could come in and talk to me for a while. Does she get pissed I ignored her? Of course not. If I IM her and she doesn't answer for a while, it's because I know she's getting ready for work or talking to her roommate or whatever. If I really need to talk to her, I'll call her.

IM isn't very far removed from email. People don't expect instant responses from email, they shouldn't from IMs either.

Of course not. But there's a difference between "gotta go, talk to you later" and feeling all apologetic because this great big "important" IM conversation is getting cut off.

I hate it when the girl in my office calls out to order lunch and says "I'd like to make an order" to the person on the phone.
You'd like to make an order? Not place an order? you'd like to go there and make it?

[/B]That doesn't sound like much of a "big stink." It's common courtesy to say some acknowledgement of parting when ending a conversation or meeting with someone. You don't just turn and walk away from someone, you don't just hang up on someone. It's not any different on AIM.

Exactly. Which is why I get all pissy when people abruptly put up an AM in the middle of a conversation. :p

Oh and I am not one for AIM at work. I am not one for constantly checking email either, at work this is. Ugggh! There is a time and place for that, it's called lunch time. After you have finished the drawings to send to the cabinet maker. :BANG

Everytime my friends would call and say "Can I talk to Matt?" my Dad would say "I don't know, can you? You probably can, I'm sure you're capable of it. I think what you wanted to ask is 'may I speak to Matt?'"

yeah, I loved that growing up...

also when we would say "i'm done" when we were finished with an assignment or whatever.. she would always say "oh you must be a turkey thats done cooking in the oven." after the first couple turkey comments, i always said "im finished!!" :)

I disagree with your position. In my opinion, and the opinion of most individuals I know, Instant Messaging is considered the lowest form of communication. It is completely impersonal. The medium and culture of individuals who use it lead to very poor grammar and spelling. The simple fact that it, along with message boards and email, are all conducted electronically often leads to a very impersonal and incoherant communication structure.

Perhaps in time if Instant Messaging is more heavily adopted in the business world, it will be considered a higher form of communication. Until then, I'll consider it one of the lowest forms of communication as will many others.

Fine. I really don't have any problem with you thinking that IM is a low means of communication. It does, however, happen to me a main form of communication with a few (literally 2-4) of my friends because we find it easier than calling to chat. Ie-there's no need for a phone call when you just wanna know how they're doing that particular day, where they're headed to, etc. I don't communicate with every single person I know, and I too can't stand the people who try to talk to me like "lol what r u doing?"

Anyway, the point I was trying to make was, unless of course you're one of those people who is always signed on and never uses away messages, you should just expect people to pop up and say hey if you're on without one. And it's not fair to make me feel like I'm distracting you. I had no idea. Had you put a message ("Busy" at the least) I wouldn't have sent you one.

You have every right to disagree with my opinions (even though, as I said, I don't actually think AIM is a high and mighty form of communication) but when you essentially call me a simple-minded kid, you're out of line and getting away from the point of our discussion boards. I just ask that you don't do that.

I agree with you on some of those points- namely, the grammar and spelling. However, I wouldn't lump e-mail in there- many businesses function much better because of the better qualities of e-mail.

Plus, I think there are good uses for instant messaging- long distance friends who can't afford the phone call but would like to communicate in actual time, etc.

"The battery died right away! This phone sucks!" Well yeah, first off, a battery usually isn't fully charged, plus you're obviously playing with the phone, personalizing it and whatnot, for the first day or two.

Then there's people with there obviously very personal incidents, like their mp3 player did some crazy shit and froze up and wouldn't come back on. Well, you're about the only one that happened to, don't tell people not to buy it.

Everything is always luck for the other team and skill for their team.

i was impartial to who won, so my opinion on the horrible calls against the seahawks counts.

- It was not a push-off in the endzone. Should have been 6 points.

- No holding. Should have had that pass at the 1 yard line.

- It's not a block below the knees, when you are tackling.

so if the seahawks had those 3 calls go their way and not missed the FG's, they would have won easily.

at first i agreed with you that it's annoying that those chicks do that, but after i thought about it, i would actually rather have a guy in the stall next to me on his phone....so his concentration was on his conversation and not the smell or noises that are coming from the stall next to his.

this reminds me of a joke, I can't remember it 100%, but essentially a guy goes into a bathroom stall, and he hears the guy beside him ask 'hey how are you?'

so the first guy, thinking its kind of weird, says 'ummm ok'

a few seconds pass and the second guy, again out of nowhere, asks 'what do you think about this weather huh?'

so the first guy is kind of weirded out but figures its courteous to reply, so he starts talking...

as soon as he starts talking, the second guy in the stall says 'john, hold on, the stupid guy beside me thinks i'm talking to him!'

Although the call was petty, I was actually referring to the way he called it. Every time he made the signal for holding there was this "slapping" sound he made with his wrist and it bothered me for some dumb reason.
