Things that annoy you

We dare not even attempt it. The universe itself could be cleft in twain! In twain, I say! :eek:

If only it was that easy. :stuck_out_tongue:

affect/effect

I’ll see if I can effect a solution to your problem…

Bleh, who cares about those other secondary meanings? They have no effect on me!

But it begs the question: what effect do they have on your affect?

Things that annoy me, in no particular order:

  1. How I sometimes get really busy and don’t get around to eating for a whole day, and at the end of the day, I weigh more than I did in the morning.
  2. 3 cars, on a 3-lane freeway, that drive side-by-side to one another, at the same speed, for 10 miles.
  3. Tail recursion.
  4. Stereotypical and subtly derogatory of portrayal of nerds in television.
  5. Jenny McCarthy.

A-frakkin’-men! Jenny McCarthy, especially, needs to take her anti-science/anti-medicine crusade and take a long walk down a very short pier.

Along those lines, I must say that Oprah Winfrey (yes, lady, you DO have a last name) annoys me to no end. She’s just TOO into herself!

I used to find her pretty amusing. Now she’s on that anti-vaccine kick which is kind of odd and, I agree, annoying…

I think the nation will soon be shocked to find out that Jenny McCarthy is in fact not a medical doctor.

Another thing that annoys me: adolescents. Ugh, they’re insufferable! Even the nice ones are hard to deal with.

I agree, but I used to be one. So I cut them a slack.

You know what else annoys me? How I can’t stop comparing my work to that of others and keep hearing my own influences and wish I didn’t.

She is much more than annoying, she is seriously dangerous. I’m not annoyed, I’m seriously ticked off.

Scooby-Doo annoys me. I was watching it this morning and they were driving their van through Transilvania and stop at a spooky castle to solve a crime.

How can these apparently jobless hippies afford to ship a van from America to Europe? And how are they getting their dog through quarantine?

No, i’m sorry, but that TV show about a crime-solving talking dog just makes NO sense at all!

Apparently, do-gooder meddling crime stopping does pay. Whoever hired them probably flipped the bill for all that jazz.

Wait…scratches head

face distorts Did I just justify a plot-hole for a Scooby-Doo episode? bows and shakes head in shame

Rut-roh! I bet they would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for these meddling OGs! :slight_smile:

thanks
:(:(:frowning:

You’re 17 and pretty mature. The adolescents I have in mind are of a younger persuasion.

Has it also become uncool to use a blinker? It seems the faster one drives the less important it is to signal.

Don’t even get me started on how the horn is now thought of as a negative, like someone is saying “Frak you” rather than “Look out” which is why it is there.

In the Boston area and most of the rest of the east coast, I think the answer is a resounding yes! :slight_smile:

When I used to live in Boston, I used to be one of those people. Every morning, I used to fly down Storrow weaving through traffic at at 80mph. My friend had the best explanation: “dude, don’t use the blinker. If you do, they are gonna know which way you’re coming! You gotta make the first move… and you gotta keep your opponents on the edge.”
