I get....Um.


I lost my place.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Does this mean I win?  :biggrin:

People who pluralize "processes" by saying "process-eez". It's not the name of a Greek philosopher, it's just a common noun, like "pass/passes", "mess/messes". Just pronounce the -es like you would with any other ordinary word ending with an /s/ sound.

Exceptions are words like "analyses", because that actually comes from Greek; it's not the plural of "analys", but of "analysis".

A peeve I have (though honestly if I've already mentioned this I can't remember) are the baby boomer child worshipers who, while loving children is fine and great if you love them and want to raise them and protect them, but the ones who do this and treat anyone who doesn't feel the same way they do is a crime somehow, i wish these people who just get high and stop talking about it.

I'm not a fan of children, I've never going to have my own and after time with my two nephews it just reaffirmed this all the more. But my mother and others in my family think children and angels from Valhalla that shit gold.

I often want to just wait for certain child worshipers to start talking about children, and then bring up about several amazing cocks I've seen in porn, and worship talk about that in the same way, just to piss them off.

People who say "don't judge me".
Anytime someone says "don't judge me" I immediately judge them as being a terrible person, not because of whatever they are doing but because, by saying "don't judge me", they are signaling that they think whatever they are doing is wrong and not only are they going to do it anyway but they somehow want their hypocrisy to earn them the moral high ground over all of us "judgmental" people.

Same.  Running water unnecessarily really gets me, too.

And we've got this microwave that beeps once when it's done cooking and beeps again a couple minutes later if you haven't taken your food out by then.  Loud beeps, too.  I hate that second beep and hate it when other people let the second beep happen.  If it were up to me, microwaves would only beep once and fairly softly, too.  Because, unless you're one hell of a multitasker, you're probably going to be within about ten feet or so of the microwave when it goes off.

I hate how with automated tills in supermarkets, once you pay for your shopping, the automated voice will keep repeating for you to take your shopping over and over, flat out telling you to hurry up.

I hate it when people expect things of you even when they're irrational or not something achievable
