Things That Annoy You

[albrecht]

1) Apps and websites that try to do too much. Example: I don't want video, don't even want pictures, just an app that gives sports scores in an easy-to-read, rational method. Doesn't need to have graphics etc.
2) How websites have been "dumbed down" to comply with Google or to be "tablet friendly." This results in less content, less written content or analysis, and more "bling" but also harder to find things if one is using a computer or laptop. They also all end up being organized in the same looking format it seems. This includes newspapers' websites in which there are fewer articles but more video and crap.

The reason I don't post on FB is I truly believe no one gives a shit about "what" I do in my life...they just care about the fact i have a life...all else on FB is ego based self delusion....

Maybe an argument could be made to the fact I write these words and see what others respond....they would be right...

BG is better than FB because users bring their own stuff to BG while on FB 90% of the shit I see is something being shared from another source/stream/whatevs

I hate people that f/u and then do not own up to their f/u and blame it on other people.  I mind less the error than the lack of ownership. 

I hate fireman who collect money at traffic lights.  I hate being guilt-tripped to put money in their boot and am afraid they are not paying attention to the road and I will run over one of them.

Seconded. I had a relative, ER/Trauma surgeon who really laid into them at a stop light about the danger of walking between cars, disrupting traffic flow, etc at a very busy intersection between a highway and a large normal road. I was almost embarrassed and the fire-fighter, probably a young recruit/pledge-type, blushed and walked away. He was right though. It was crazy idea and though I didn't see any could cause accident- even to one of them.

I live in a party school U town... I am sooooo sick of red plastic cups littering the neighborhoods, scads of arrogant-looking shirtless meatheads playing beer pong, students sauntering against traffic lights yammering on cellphones, firecrackers and gunshots and parties at two in the morning.

The telltale signs of the overextended childhood that passes for higher education. I feel your pain bro.

How do you feel about yoga pants?

On a shapely female bottom, I'm all for 'em!  The right time and place, I suppose, should be considered.  You okay with them, PB, or are they a bit too "in your face" in your estimation?

Yeah, you are correct on that. The information I have now, is more confusing than what I started with. But, they were glad they could help.

   Their PHD is in being purposely abstruse. I worked with a math whiz who seemingly ignored grammar to a point of being borderline idiot savant, John Nash meets Norm Crosby. His syllabus would have numerous misspellings. That's a great way to start a class.

Your penance shall be the recitation of three Hail Mary's, or the viewing of one Falkie video, or you could just bring me a cold brew and we'll call it even.

Hmmm, 3 networks and the number 3:55? Is there any experts on the Bible Code or Malachy Prophesies? What does a quantraine 3:55 from Nostradamus say? I'm sure some guest on Norry will tell us (if the world doesn't end tonight, or is that tomorrow, or next "blood moon?")

What I don't get is why did Fox Business cover it?  I thought maybe he'd start reading the stock ticker.

         A good question, and considering the views of hosts/guests, I'm guessing they detest his politics to the core. That wealth redistribution thing is kind of a sticking point.

This is annoying: why is that whenever I google "hot wet bitches", the link they send me to shows two labradors being squirted with a fucking hose!!??

  (1) Screaming, crying neonates anywhere...but they are even worse in a bookstore. Especially multiples.

   (2) That justifiable vehicular manslaughter of imbeciles who dart in front of your car(or saunter through the crosswalk during a green light) has yet to gain enough public acceptance to become part of our judicial system.

I have relatives in Vegas and they tell me pedestrians struck while jaywalking on the strip are ticketed if they survive.

    Nice. Should be liable for damage to the bumper of the "offending" car as well.
