tell me some of yours
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I have too many to list, and several of them will get me permanently banned from PF for political reasons.
I'll stick to non-political/religious/etc. topics such as bad grammar. That is so rampant that I don't know where to begin.
 
People who generalise. I know we all do it from time to time (often as a result of absentmindedness), but we should always try our best to avoid it, as it makes for really bad discussion.
 
Being woken up early. It doesn't matter if I'm woken up 10 minutes or 2 hours before my natural body clock, I feel like I've been hit by a bus. I come around in a few minutes, but it's that initial 'ugh', that's made me snap at people in the past when I shouldn't have.

My Mum singing Katy Perry in the kitchen at 7am. My bedroom is an extension on the side of the house, and the sound of her shrieking comes straight through my walls, so annoying.

Video games, forgetting to take my lens cap off before taking a photograph, my little sister repeating herself 10 times over.
 
Whenever you try to quick scope in COD with the MSR and hit someone's leg and all you get is a stupid hitmarker yet the guy "sniping" with this ACR gets a one hit kill every time. ARGH

^ This, and repeatedly being on the receiving end of a QS when I'm using an SMG. Controller = Wall!

People who don't bother to use capital letters or punctuation. I mean, does it really take that much extra effort to hit the shift key?

The unwritten subtext (to me) is: "I want you to figure out what I'm saying but I don't respect you enough to bother composing my text in a manner that's easy for you to read."

I don't even expect proper grammar all the time. But it's clear when someone makes or does not make an effort.

Only in the UK, AFAIK ( Sorry, OmCheeto) , and maybe Western Europe people substitute s for z. Same for colour, flavour, etc.

Throwing their cig butts in the street while driving! One of these days I'm going to get out of my car, pick it up, and throw it back in their car!

And Canada. Don't forget Canada. Basically, any place where people know how to spell. (And for the record, that letter is named "zed".) I can't help wondering whether or not ZZ Topp ever stopped to consider how stupid their name sounds in the rest of the world.

Which surprises me, since you got it right in the first sentence.

You're just trying to reanimate the Abbott and Costello routine that Evo and ImATrackMan started in posts #14 and 16. I refuse to be drawn in.

Actually, this is a myth invented to "explain" Microsoft's lame attempt at creating a "British English" spell checker.

British English used "-ize" going back to the 16th century. The etymology is from greek "-izein". The "z" changed to "s" in latin and latin-derived languages, which originally did not have "z" in the alphabet (hence "-iser" in french for example).

Words ending in "-yse" come from a different greek root and the "s" is correct.

I thought it was sppelled that way, but I should have looked it up. I like Legs, but I prefer Under Pressure.

You "spelt" another word wrong, Bacle2, and Under Pressure is a Queen song, not ZZ Topp!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Do you mean the double p? It was part of a joke, re Topp in ZZ Top.

Re ZZ Top, I was thinking of :




Great Song!

Never been to the UK, but "The Economist/Economizt " usually substitutes 's' for 'z'.

to keep me on topic...

people who don't work 9 to 5, M-F, with one hour commutes each way, who claim they spent their entire careers "delegating", who ask me, the most rhetorical of queaseons; "What do you mean you don't have time...?"

I will kill them...

I have never met anyone that worked 9-5, it's always 8-5 as the "traditional" workday, with an hour off for lunch. Of course 8-5 doesn't sound as catchy in a song as 9-5.

Just like the title "We are the Ones who Have Won" is not as catchy as "We are the Champions"

Yes, great song, but that song is "Got me under pressure," not "Under pressure," and we have a left-brain consciousness here that demands exactitude...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The joke's ( my joke, actually) is kind of lame actually, let me spare you. The whole joke is
just that, using two p's , since I used two p's in Topp.

You're right, about exactitude; I am an exactidude myself most of the time, but I need to spend some time vegetating to give myself a break, sorry.

I recently got fired for giving my staff an hour lunch. I am now staff...

Admiral Oliver shared my opinion, but that's way off topic.

I think I'm pis..., uh hum, making myself angry at the moment...

Oh! People that use the word "never", and "always".

They piss me the **** off. Though I have used both words.

People who generalize* who make no attempt to think more complexly make me angry. For example, some forum posters are senseless therefore all forum posters are senseless. I am to blame, though, because I was thinking of "hasty generalization"--which is a fallacy--though I neglected to be clear as to what kind of generalization I was attacking. The irony. I was tired, please don't hate me.

*Checked my OED, and it turns out AlephZero was right.

People who take the topic and link it to something mostly unrelated and get up on a soapbox.

Topic: Microwave gourmet dining for one
Person 1: I made this recipe the other night.
Person 2: I made it too, even my kid liked it.
Trolltastic: At least you have kids, Jimmy Carter ate my kids! Keep your socialist microwaves out of my country!
Person 1: Hey Troll, settle down, we are just talking about cooking.
Trolltastic: Don't try to censor me! I have rights!

I hate the fact that people always judge someone based only on the way they act. Neglecting to get to know the person, or their past.

Sometimes, people should put their money where their mouth is.

/end rant

Okay, done! :smile:

Shouldn't people be judged by the way they act? I mean, I don't care if the person used to be the Pope, if he's started murdering people... :-p

Very good point there. I guess it just depends on what the person does. I mean if it's a big thing like that, then most definitely. If it's a little thing, then no.

Everyone does judge people by the way they act it seems, even if that person doesn't know it them-self.
