OT: Pet Peeves

those people on bicycles.....with the pointed helmets and cut off yoga pants.....going 7 MPH and taking up the whole road.....and I am trying to make my tee time!!
The money racket that youth sports has become. They play way too much ball, kids need to be kids. My 9 yr old nephew plays league ball and travel baseball, they're all over the state and by the time they turn 13-14 some will be burned out.
I would also video the parents so they can see how stupid they act. And then we have the nerve to say "what's wrong with these kids nowadays?"
Everyone involved takes it way too seriously

Artificially limiting topics is worse. Skip the threads you have no interest in.
Aha, what good can come of it Dattier? We definitely disagree politically as I probably do with others on here. Sky this is exactly why I said to stay off politics, because of stupid replies like his. Talking politics makes arguing Duke vs Carolina look like child's play

Looks like you're creating a self-fulfilling prophecy there.
I essentially stated a pet peeve in opposition to your pet peeve. This is how you respond to it. It looks more like it's a case of your not being able to handle a civil discussion of certain topics.
Datt, I'll bet you $100 to a busted rubber that if politics comes up on a thread, the thread will get nasty. All I made was a true post. Go tell a joke on the joke thread, you're a pretty good joke teller, or go post about Duke or anything else, but politics is a subject going nowhere good
And as I told you, referring to a mild, innocuous dissent from your opinion as a "stupid post" is creating the nastiness you attribute to political threads in general.
I didn't even state a political opinion. All I said was that I feel differently about its appropriateness.
The lounge is a good place for politics, but no one goes there. I get it out of my system on reddit. Plenty of polarization there to fight against.
I didn't join DI until January of this year, but to prove that I was correct sir about politics, I searched back and found a thread that Sky started in June of 16 asking who people were going to vote for president. Just as I suspected, the thread got testy with some, including YOU, and the thread itself was 4 pages long. Look I like a debate as much as the next guy, but you however, take it to another level. I saw that in that particular thread. Politics and religion Datt. That's two topics that no good comes out of on a sports message board. Surely a man of your intelligence should agree on that, or I at least hope you can
Agree w/Denver on the lounge being a good place, and on the whole would concur w/Mac politics here is probably best left checked at the door...I remember the long testy dialogue several months back pre-election. Got kind of nasty.... Hey just my take....

I have no problem w/ your preferring we avoid political discussions. I know they get heated. So do discussions of how to use our bench. I happen to disagree that we should therefore avoid them, and that's all I said before you made a reference to my "stupid post." Calling people's posts "stupid posts" is creating the very thing you're complaining about.
We are both right. I shouldn't have said you made a stupid post and you shouldn't have made the reply you did off my first post about staying away from politics. You admit they get heated. Yes so does discussing Duke basketball, because we all think we have the answers, but the difference is we all pull for the same team.
We have that one thing in common, we like Duke. Have a good day Datt
Interesting. What is a better term for the rapid spread of some social/digital news besides "viral"? Sort of like the word "bandwidth" to succinctly explain that you don't have the time or resources to accomplish some task.
When a guy named Jason with an accent so thick you can barely understand him tells you he is calling to repair you're computer. OFC
Getting behind a slow driver and they time it just right for themselves to make the stop light but you get caught. OFC
Spelling police. When I post from my phone and it's sunny I can barely see half the time. 
Also people who honk their horn if you don't gun it the second the light turns green. I got T-boned and nearly killed by some idiot running a light so I pause a beat when the light changes.

For the vinyl siding, we used Benjamin Moore Revive, its specifically designed for that reason. There is a color card with 'safe' colors that will help minimize any problems with expansion / contraction on the siding aided by the paint's heat absorption. Coverage on it is completely nuts and it dries really soon. We did 2 coats, got flawless paint coverage (which was promised blue on blue), and it leaves the original textured look intact.

People who comment on things without experiencing it personally. That ending sucked. Did you see it? No.
The last couple of drive through I went to had the car in front of me take 5 or 6 minutes to place the order then another 15 minutes waiting on the order to be filled. Does this happen to you often? The last time it happened was Wed. I went through Cook Out to get a couple of milkshakes and corn dogs. It wa taking freaking long I had time to reflect about things. While reflecting I decided to pay for the car behind me order. As I got to the window I did have second thoughts but it was only $3.42 which I happily paid and left feeling pretty good. OFC

On the flip side, it buys you time to reconsider the poor decision you are about to make by eating fast food.
Using "further", which is irrelevant to distance, instead of "farther".
When did the word "literally" become nothing more than a word of emphasis? When will someone who doesn't really mean it say "I figuratively jumped out of my skin"?
People who dramatically try to avoid dips in the road or slow way down for perfectly flat railroad crossings.
Your/you're is a biggie. There/their/they're is another one. Hear and here. Too and to. The simple ones, that most people just... I don't know, it doesn't take some great intellect to do it, it should just come naturally, if you read at all and English is your first language. But man, when I see someone writing some big thing, and they are messing up homophones... well, there is usually a direct correlation between that and the quality of the overall post.
People also struggle with apostrophes, but that one... I don't know, it is a little more understandable I think.
Ah. Yes. These errors are through text. I was thinking this was through conversation for some reason. Yes, those type of errors are very, very common, unfortunately.
