Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

When I see someone I know at the store, and when I wave they look the other way.

 

Ghosting an internet term for abandon. How does using a different word to identify this action make it any easier to deal with? It doesn't

 

I get annoyed at poor punctuation.

Prior to Covid when we could actually go to church, I used to get annoyed at the words to the songs projected. I don't sing...not even in the shower, and so I would make punctuation corrections in my mind to make the songs more in line with how they should have been sung. I guess it just gave me something to do when everyone else droned on in gleefully singing.

 

That is interesting, via this post I just drafted my own term: Ghost Wife. I would tell my wife, but she is Ghost Wifing me, so I have no way to contact her. (She does not want me to call, text, email, or have me go see her out of state, but reiterates she dos not want to get divorced either).

Oh how great this site is! Thanks MzSnowleopard

 

Unaffectionate dogs. You know, the type you see being used as trophies / penis extensions by equally unaffectionate tattooed fuckwits.

 

Wow! A meme that’s actually funny!

 

I had thought that the term meant about the same as "lurking", thanks for the clue-in.

 

Not knowing the meanings of the latest terms and/or abbreviations online. I know that shouldn't bother me because I don't even try to keep up with them.

 

The Urban Dictionary is your friend.

Usually I read an acronym and think, "Why did I not think of that".

 

When I search for televisions on amazon, and then sort by price low to high, why am I forced to rifle through 15 pages of stands, cables and other paraphernalia before I get to the TVs? I searched for ‘50” television’. If I’d wanted TV stands I’d have searched for ‘television stands’.

 

Can't like this post enough. Fucking impossible to find the cheapest option of the thing you're actually looking for. Do they really think they'll make more money selling you USB cables than a ~$500 TV?

 

@OurJud I'm a bit of a brand loyalist (and only buy new) when it comes to any form of tech but I end up just using a price-compare site upon finding the specific model I want. Just filter the price range of search results to over £150, I guess. I realize this input was probably needless.

 

Not at all. If I was a bit more tech savvy I’d probably do similar. I know I want at least 50” but beyond that I dunno. My current 32” still works as good as good as the day I bought it, and that was about 12 years ago. It’s an LG so I don’t think I could go far wrong just upgrading with that brand.

 

@OurJud I'd say 3/4 purchases i've made whilst building my RGB illuminated word document torture chamber ended up being cheapest on Amazon anyways, even when comparing elsewhere. Yeah, my current 49" 4K is LG. Solid brand, I've always stuck with what's served me well earlier in life. If you have ideas in mind it would definitely be worth using a comparison site during Black Friday sales if you have your heart set on something.

 

Thanks.

 

Jingle Bell Rock.

I know, I know, music styles have evolved, but who in St. Patrick Boone and Lawrence Welk of Arabia's Unholy Names decided that plodding dirge was "rock?

It's like some early 90s Marshall Field's commercial with "rapping" soccer moms, ferfuksake.

I wasn't waiting for a Playstation 5. I just wanted to see the next week's ad circular. Why would I willingly join the 'queue' if I'm not guaranteed one anyway?

 

When you see the word 'lite' tagged onto the end of a product. Honestly, if they used this to sell cars it would basically mean you get the steering wheel but nothing else.

 

Yes, and when it's used with food, it means 'flavorless'.

 

I think it's 'light' in food cases, but yes, you're right. Especially 'light' yogurt. In this case it should be 'Tastes like wallpaper paste'.

 

My grandfather had a saying:
"If it says fat-free, that just means you don't pay for the fat."

 

'Food insecurity'. 'Hunger' too easy to say?

 

The expression (He/she/) 'had a big smile on their face'

As opposed to a big smile on their elbow, I take it?

 

When I'm having a conversation and I notice the other person saying "like" every two seconds.
