Pet peeve

People that come here looking for help then get ignorant when you guys try to give it.
Merry Christmas

 

I had a pet peeve once. My grandma gave it to me. I loved that little thing, But it wandered out in the road one day and got ran over by someone's wild idea.

That is just a part of it! Everyone gets confused at times, and this site is for everyone - newbies to experts. Advice is freely given and compliments gladly taken!

 

Strange1,
I will have to remember that one HAHAHAHA!

 

I see that all the time. Its a pet peeve of mine too. So, I ignore them, and watch them flop about for a while like a fish out of the water

You can't ask for help then reject the help you get. It doesn't solve anything.

 

Oh Paleeze Jeremy..don't you know that those that offer assistance are suppose to be mind readers or at the very least have the ability to mentally transport themselves to the puter in question so you can "see" what the software/hardware issue is to begin with so the user doesn't have to provide the necessary information? Sheesh...where you been?

 

ROFL..that reminds me.

Many times working support calls with customers (walking them through proecedures) I would get this indredulous response of, "Wow, how can you see whats on my screen?!" I'd hear that at least four times a week. People honestly thought I was logging into their system

 

I have a degree in it

 

A BS degree?



Or maybe a PhD(Piled Higher and Deeper)

 

I`ve a pet peeve that scrunches my shorts up so tight that my voice rises three octaves...but not wanting to hijack this particular thread...when I`m in a good enough mood not to ruin my entire day I`ll start a new thread.

 

@Sasquatch77,

Go for it. As the thread was entitled pet peeve, another peeve shouldn't cause problems, pet or not!

 

You mean to tell me that it is not someone from MG making all those funny pop-ups show up on my computer? Well I'll be dipped in pancake batter and fried to a golden brown and sprinkled with 10x sugar and smothered in velvety smooth chocolate sau.....umm, yeah. Sorry about that.


(dont really have pop-ups on my computer)

Kind of a pet peeve, take a half an hour googling for an answer for someones question, come back to the forum, and find that one of the "already knew it without googling" types already answered it. Good for me though, I learn a lot. Occasionally I even get the chance to give someone good help. Kind of like what was given to me when I first came here.

 

OK...if you insist. I get so pi**ed off at people and politicians that "go with the flow" when there is a national or international dilemna...but when the media decides it`s time to bust on the people making the decisions, now it`s time to deny what they were preaching before. It`s not just enough for these two-faced idiots to announce thier opposition to decisions made by LEGALLY elected officials...it seems that it also behooves them to LIE about how they voted or opined about previous decisions made by the aforementioned LEGALLY elected officials. My biggest bi**h is the way that people like Hillary Cli....er...oops didn`t mean to mention anyone....can be so swayed by the MEDIA....without really listening to thier constituents...but then of course carpet-baggers have a long history....er....I don`t mean to be a name-caller....it just seems to me that if the news media was actually truthful across the board...and I won`t say that one outlet is fairer or more truthful than the next...then perhaps the people that vote for thier elected officials would have a REAL say on what`s happening. Another thing that freezes my agates...and I`ve mentioned this before...why on Earth is a person that was born and raised in Arkansas...a state with a horrible track record in the way it treats it`s working folk...allowed to run for senate in NY????????Allow me...the media said it/she would do a good job and the populace ate it up. This in a state that`s been ruined by the Democratic Mario Cuomo`s tax and spend policies(like Arkansas)driving business out of business. I have a good friend that busted his a** for 22 years in a plant in Buffalo that lost his job to NAFTA...which I might point out...was an act that a Democratic-controlled congress shoved down us tax-payers throats...and the consequences are still, and will be...felt for a long time. I `m sorry I got so long winded...my pet peeve is the sensationalist media...media...media...media

 

Wow...sorry folks.

 

@Sasquatch77,

This is also one of my peeve's!. Politicians have always been like this, taking credit for anything good that comes out of anothers administraton, and misdirecting for anything bad that comes out of theirs.!

 

Firewalls on cars that don't stop the fire from spreading.

 

AND......in the interest of fairplay (I said fair), why don't we have uncle-virus and Himmicanes?

Politicians do that because it works. The sadder fact is that it works.

 

History.

 

Pet Peeves. yeah, I've got a whole Menagerie of them.

Here's my latest edition.....

Ya, mean this site isn't "The axis of an evil empire", oh, I am so disillusioned now!

Hang on - since I've been part of this since the beginning - dat makes me evil too! Mwhahahahaha!..... Sorry, I got carried away there, for a minute!

 

Trying to put my shoe on the wrong foot because I am looking at my monitor and reading someone elses pet peeve.

 

I thought this thread was entitled "Pet Peeve" not "Pet Perve"


My pet peeve? People who are so opinionated they forget everyone else is entitled to an opinion too, and their own isn't necessarily correct or substantiated.....

 

When you are sitting in the office minding your own business and suddenly you get the overwhelming smell of popcorn permeating all of your orifices. Then, when you cannot take it anymore and go looking for the purveyor of odoriferous emanations, you cannot find them.


And being called a perv

 

All of your orifices?

You are a perv!

 

LOL....maybe it wasn't popcorn after all..........maybe it was poopcorn

 

Gee...you had to put that one up right after MY post, didn't ya!

Actually, that is where you are wrong. I have tomorrow off, so technically today is Friday I had an awesome Christmas, thanks How about you? Much snow oop north our kid? Find any mistletoe?

 

Which also includes the itiots who take up four parking spots, cause they don't want there new car dinged up.

 

Bwahahaha, 'poopcorn'

 

Actually, when you posted that, it was 9 minutes into Friday, GMT

*wet willy's you and runs*

 

Brand new pet peeve. I'm back on the trunk build of Firefox, since 1.5 got officially released...though, I hear that 1.5.1 is around the corner.

I just received (automatically) and update for the trunk on Firefox. Now ALL links that I just visted here are in BOLD, including the ones I replied to.

Another pet peeve, is stopping at a stop light in my car, and having to hear the guy next to me play his music (tyipcally rap) extremely loud. Even with my windows up I can still hear it.. I sometimes retaliate by playing clasicall music, jazz, or blues extremely loud (I have a car system that is quite adequte for this "attack" ).

 

The poor fellow on the bus who feels it is civic duty to hammer/spam...ahem....each passenger with his life story everytime you ride into work. Nice fellow, but it is 8am in the morning for cripes sake.

 

I had a trucker do that to me once...in a truck stop bathroom, next stall over to me.

I was thinking to myself, "dude, let me grunt in peace!"

 

ROFLMAO..That is just wrong. There are not many times that I will tell someone to shut the f* up but I definitely think that would be one of them.

 

A few things that annoy the hell out of me: people that feel the world owes them everything, people that wallow in their own self-inflicted misery, and moochers.

 

Amen.

It was quite embarassing.

 

Hey can I get a piece of that donut if your not gonna eat it?

 

My problem with moochers is on a bit higher level that that.

 

Oh boy..started typing and got carried away.

Forum related (Not just MG's)

- People who say they have been lurking for a long time, finally register and immediately post an image or link to porn for our *cough* viewing pleasure. *gag*

- People who create multiple ID's and think we're to stupid to notice

- People who sign up just to spam, ie: pyramid schemes, free ipods & the like along with those who sign up just to post links to "their" forum. This is done in threads & PM's.

- People who think it's 'cute' to have an avatar or profile picture (animated or static) of a naked women (most common..have only pulled naked men 2 times IIRC) or (usually animated) a very explicit sexual act in progress.

- People who sign up and think all their computer issues should be handled via PM's or IM's and get ticked when you politely explain the benefits of actually starting a thread.

I have to admit that when encountering some of the above it is irritating but I do often get a good laugh when dealing with it (Poof) so I guess maybe I should thank the member?

In daily life:

- Parents who allow their small children to stand on the frame of a shopping cart and then are dumbfounded when their child slips and knocks out a few teeth or puts some gashes in their face.

- People who throw trash out their car windows or empty their ashtrays in parking lots. Is it really SO difficult to hang on to your McDonald's trash until you get home or use the trash cans that are in front of stores, etc.?

- People that are arrogant, conceited & judgemental...can't stand to even be in the same room with them..gives me the creeps.

- People that are prejudice and can't be bothered to look beyond someones skin color.

- Parents who let their kids run wild in stores screaming & yelling, knocking stuff off shelves and nearly knocking people over (usually elderly) or when at the beach they are laying their working on their tans while 30yds.or more away their children (2- 4 yrs. old) are playing in the surf unsupervised. Hello? Rip-tides, crashing waves that cause a child (and some adults) to tumble over and over in the water and get hurt or worse, drown. This is not only a pet peeve but scares the bejebbers out of me...I end up spending my time at the beach stressed out and watching to make sure the kids are ok even though I have no idea 'who' they are.

 

coupla pet peeves.........People (educators mostly) who spell it 'your" when they mean "you're" and "their" when they mean "there" or vice versa. I might add that, because of those pet peeves, I am more peeved at myself when I do that than I am with other people.

*BLUSH*

Ok you pervs..it has been brought to my attention different ways in which the above quoted statement can be taken Note: 'Pulled' is defined as removing the image!!!


Sheesh...ROFLMAO

 

I'm still LMAO!!!! Can't beleive I didn't catch it...I can be rather *cough* twisted myself.

 

Well hell, no need to stay around the office any more today if THAT's waiting for me when I get home

 

@ Abby:- LoL!, I have to admit - I literally had to read it twice to make sure my eyes weren’t deceiving me. Then I realised what "pulled men" probably meant and could start breathing again!

I read it once, shook my head, then read it again slower, then had my 'Eureka moment' and finally realised it 'prolly meant deleted the pic. Hey! give me a break! It's nearly midnight, and I've just got back from seeing three hours of 'King Kong'. Thought I was still in the cinema, having a bad dream for a while!

 

Yeah..Yeah..Yeah....sure Barry...I'll just add you to my list of MG pervs! LOL

Oiy! I'm almost afraid to face Chris when he gets home...*cracking up* He's had time to think about it...this outta be good.
