Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

It doesn't seem very sporting.

 

I enjoy the World Cup. Love it, in fact. But I do so as a non-football fan if that makes any sense. League football is the most self-centred, complacent, over-privileged, up its own arse, namby-pamby sport in existence.

 

Jerkweeds like this who give a book a one star review because...

 

And how assured they invariably are that they invented cleverness and cheek.

 

If they'd said it to be intentionally ironic I could almost forgive it, but I'm never convinced these people do.

 

lol, my favorite was reading the comments for "A Dog's Way Home" and one of the cover designs had a pitbull mix on it.
the 1 star said "I saw the cover on this book and thought it would be a story about a dog. I read the brief introduction and it is about a Pit Bull. No thank you! Why deceive people into buying this book? Just put a picture on the front cover of a Pit Bull and let people make up their own minds."

AND THEN W. Bruce Cameron actually responded! he says "I don't think it is intellectually honest to give a one star review based on reading a brief introduction, which I take to mean the flap copy. I am also, like other people who have commented, perplexed that you don't seem to know that a pit bull is a dog."

 

That's rough man.

There's a lot of angry people out there.

Even if I don't like something or barely even rate it, I'd never take a dump on someones work like that, they've taken time and effort to construct and produce their individual expression so the idea of just toasting it like that is gross and unbecoming of any adult over 16.

 

Blue-pencil by consensus. Pencil box full = removed/banned. Fuck em. Speak your mind, but you still pay/account for it. Where's the other edge of the sword? Free speech is the right to say 'shut the fuck up."

*ahem*
Sorry, carry on.

 

Man, Amazon algorithms are diabolical. Six years after I bought baby stuff, they start advertising baby teeth boxes and tooth fairy pillow kits to me. I can't believe they actually timed that. They probably have student driver stickers planned for nine years from now.

 

Not only that, but a 1-star anything would have to be effing terrible. Products get one star when they're completely broken pieces of crap. One star on a book is just being petty and mean.

 

Did not enjoy

Enjoyed

Really enjoyed.

 

I know my last book reading rev, I gave at least a 3 star cause I found some
entertainment value, even if it was not the good kind the author was looking for.

 

You cannot scratch the carpet, man
not the couch, or the floor, or the tv stand!
you cannot scratch it on you back
you cannot scratch it in a sack!
you cannot scratch it underneath,
don't even try to use your teeth!
You cannot scratch it here or there
you cannot scratch it anywhere!


ferret: ok, i'll scratch this, then



(Edit: I figured out how to add video clip )

 

There’s an annoying expression here, widely used by many when recounting tales - “He / I turned round and said...” Normally a speaker might use it a couple of times during their tale, but there’s a guy at work who uses it every single time he mentions something that was said. “I knocked on the door and this guy answered so I turned round and said is that your car blocking my drive. So he looked at me for a second then turned round and said what’s it gotta do with you? So I turned round and said...”

 

People going through the self scanning aisle with a full shopping cart.

Spoiler: ...

 

My struggle to interpret this world and its customs continues CT.

Think I might just do my shopping online, what could possibly go wrong.

 

Having a song stuck in your ear... where you do NOT quite know the lyrics...

I guess that qualifies just as annoying.

 

That does sound pretty annoying.

 

Flies. Those damn bugs are always out after my meals, and I'm sure they are getting more fearless since they don't scare off as quickly as they did a couple of years ago. And they are dead set on ruining my sleep, too! Had, I think, three or four of the buzzing bastards in my bedroom last night and they kept landing on my face making going to sleep extremely hard. I definitely need to buy more fly catchers next time I go shopping because now it is war!

 

Wow! Your sense of satire must have developed at a very early age!

 

I‘ve made my personal declaration of war this morning after installing a fly net. It was me against two of them, my choice of weapon was a fly flapper. Now one at least is gone. I really hate to do this and it might be a little unfair after installing the fly net, but they still could just leave me alone and flee through the kitchen instead of buzzing around me.
