Can we discuss pet peeves here? (6 Viewers)

[golf/beer]

Mine for the day:

People who don't understand the concept of an "up" & "down" button for the elevator. If you press both buttons and you're going down, an elevator on the way up will stop at your floor, this doesn't help you, idiot! Then you look like a complete maroon when the door opens, the 3 people in there don't get out, & you say "Durrrr, is this going down?"

Female football announcers-staters of the obvious.

 

[arrow1]

This may be a weird one but nightly news showing basketball highlights using video from courtside. Jerky camera movements...

 

[offdee]

The NFL needs to do something about teams with yellow in their color schemes

This brings up another pet peeve....when fans make signs for a team that has yellow in their colors and they do letters in yellow without outlining them in black. YOU CAN'T READ YELLOW LETTERS FROM MORE THAN 2 FEET AWAY! Your sign looks terrible.

Being a Packers fan I see this nonsense weekly.

Ryan Clark’s suits.

Ryan Clark’s suits.

Don't forget about his custom-made "RC" lapel pin.

What if he pairs them with Nike Air Force One Lemon Drop X14 Solo's?

Ryan Clark’s suits.

Don't forget about his custom-made "RC" lapel pin.

He’s at the point where he just cuts 2 completely different patterned/color suits down the middle and sews the left side of one together with the right side of the other. Looks ridiculous.

His brother played at our little local college and Cam was here a few times. He definitely dresses...different. And Saturday was senior day and a family member of one of the players apparently took his fashion queues from Cam. It was interesting.

Living nextdoor to a male teen with stoner parents really isnt great.

Details?

I mean mostly just standard stuff that you would expect dumb teens to do. I just would prefer that some of it not happen repeatedly.

I accept that a certain amount of balls are going to come over my fence. I mean it is stupid that they havent put up a net or something by now, but not a huge deal.

What isnt acceptable is the random crap that ends up in my yard. Like way in my yard, which means it is being launched somehow. I tell the parents and their repsonse is "feel free to just throw it back over".

He launched a set of wooden russian dolls. Only two ended up in my yard and the rest ended up in the street and the other neighbors yard.

I thought the mom would be pissed about those for sure because I figured they had to be hers, but nope. Didnt bother her one bit.

Several die cast planes and cars have made it into my pool and into the neighbors yard one more over.

Some of this stuff could hurt somebody and will definitely end up breaking something.

Cant believe I am going to have to actually demand that they make him stop. Should just be a no brainer once you know your kid is doing that.

Just throw their stuff in the trash. Or sell it on EBay.

Yeah, but that's just different than Ryan Clark. Cam is one of those guys that blatantly dresses over the top to stand out and make a statement knowing he looks ridiculous to most people. Ryan Clark can actually be a stylish guy to the masses...he's just getting carried away at this point trying to prove his "suit game".

Clark is kind of like those women who start out with modest fake eyelashes, get told by other women that they look good, and then they just keep getting them thicker and longer each time they go in thinking they are slaying the felt caterpillar looking eyelashes. But everyone is just thinking she now looks ridiculous behind her back...it's too much. They call that eyelash blindness.

Cam Newton is like a drag queen. Ryan Clark just has suit blindness.

Today he had on one that the left side was a solid color and the right side was a heavy plaid pattern. Like those nfl parents who have kids playing on each team so they sew together 2 different colored jerseys. He looked like a moron.

Reminded me of the MASH episode when Trapper's pinstripe suit has the horizontal stripes.

Nope.

Recipe websites and their completely outrageous prep time and cooking time estimates

30 minute recipe! Make it on a weekday night when you don't want to spend hours in the kitchen!

Only a 10 minute prep!

Chop 4 onions, 17 cloves of garlic. Sautee until soft (3 minutes?? GTFO with that). Zest 2 lemons, toast some cumin and coriander seeds, use mortar and pestle to combine all ingredients into a paste.

Roast 4 sweet potatoes until tender.

Shuck 12 oysters.

Combine - let cool to room temperature.

Ugh - so frustrating. Me 1.5 hours later

And no, a onion, garlic, sweet potato, cumin, oyster thing is not real. Although maybe? Sounds kinda good actually

My entire family and their dishwashing habits/abilities. My kids, my partner, and her daughter (my step-daughter, basically). First, I'm apparently the only one in the house that understands how a dishwasher works. Everyone else evidently thinks a plate will become clean by water hitting the bottom side of said plate. And, bowls are apparently more effectively washed by stacking them 2-3 deep in the bottom rack.

Don't even get me started in their ability to hand-wash items. Put it this way... At this point, they have all heard my "seagull" analogy several times, in an effort to get them to understand why you rinse off dishes before washing them. Basically, it goes like this.... "If a seagull were to take a flying dump on your head, would you go home, add shampoo, and proceed to wash your hair? Or, would you try to rinse out said bird poo from your hair before shampooing?" Sadly, this usually doesn't create the response that I'm looking for. Instead, they just stare at me like an idiot, probably trying to figure out if I'm making it up, or if I've actually fallen victim to a shlt-bombing seagull at some point in my life.

Somewhere in between. Somewhere between toothpaste and hand lotion, in terms of consistency.

My younger brother actually was the victim of a bird bombing when he was a kid. My mom had to take him into a McDonald's bathroom and rinse the crap out of his hair in the sink.

At our old house in KC we had a family of Owl's living there. One day we were sitting under our big oak tree. A huge owl was up there and crapped on my daughter's shoulder. It was the most vile smelling thing you can imagine.

When I was a sophomore in High School I went on a cruise with my mom to the Bahamas. Walking the beach at a port stop in my Ocean Pacific shirt and neon pink swim trunks when I get hit in the head by a water balloon....SMACK!....just splattered all over the side of my face where my head flew sideways from the impact force. I take my sunglasses off to see they are covered in seagull crap! It was a flyby Seagull who crapped on my face and not a water balloon! Instantly took my OP shirt off to wipe my face down and threw it in the garbage. Disgusting.

When I was 13 or 14 a buddy and I were at the beach. Along came a nice looking lady with huge boobs. Of course we were both staring as she was walking by. Right then a seagull dropped a poop right in the cleavage. Perfect shot.

 

[Riffraff]

High school buddy, Robert Perez, had a slightly large nose. Nailed with a direct hit from a seagull and he was forever known as Pinocchio nose as the tales got more elaborate over time. Never lived it down.

I opened a potato chip bag and a direct hit inside by a gull... mmm, dip... {well played mr gull, well played. You win, as I toss it in the trash}

My entire family and their dishwashing habits/abilities. My kids, my partner, and her daughter (my step-daughter, basically). First, I'm apparently the only one in the house that understands how a dishwasher works. Everyone else evidently thinks a plate will become clean by water hitting the bottom side of said plate. And, bowls are apparently more effectively washed by stacking them 2-3 deep in the bottom rack.

Don't even get me started in their ability to hand-wash items. Put it this way... At this point, they have all heard my "seagull" analogy several times, in an effort to get them to understand why you rinse off dishes before washing them. Basically, it goes like this....

It’s been our experience that most people don’t rinse off their dishes before putting them into the dishwasher. Our kids have been questioned about their (good) dish cleaning technique when helping with the dishes over friends houses. (WTF complains when getting help but here we are!)


Ours are almost clean enough to dry off and eat with before putting them into the dishwasher.

Although I don’t always adhere to this, I’ve been told a quick rinse is sufficient for most contemporary dish washers.

If they are that close to clean enough to eat off you probably should just finish it off and avoid the dishwasher all together.

Ours are almost clean enough to dry off and eat with before putting them into the dishwasher.

Although I don’t always adhere to this, I’ve been told a quick rinse is sufficient for most contemporary dish washers.

I keep hearing this but don't believe it for a second.

My entire family and their dishwashing habits/abilities. My kids, my partner, and her daughter (my step-daughter, basically). First, I'm apparently the only one in the house that understands how a dishwasher works. Everyone else evidently thinks a plate will become clean by water hitting the bottom side of said plate. And, bowls are apparently more effectively washed by stacking them 2-3 deep in the bottom rack.

Don't even get me started in their ability to hand-wash items. Put it this way... At this point, they have all heard my "seagull" analogy several times, in an effort to get them to understand why you rinse off dishes before washing them. Basically, it goes like this.... "If a seagull were to take a flying dump on your head, would you go home, add shampoo, and proceed to wash your hair? Or, would you try to rinse out said bird poo from your hair before shampooing?" Sadly, this usually doesn't create the response that I'm looking for. Instead, they just stare at me like an idiot, probably trying to figure out if I'm making it up, or if I've actually fallen victim to a shlt-bombing seagull at some point in my life.

I think it’s true for high end appliances - just scrape big stuff and put it in the washer

High school buddy, Robert Perez, had a slightly large nose. Nailed with a direct hit from a seagull and he was forever known as Pinocchio nose as the tales got more elaborate over time. Never lived it down.

I opened a potato chip bag and a direct hit inside by a gull... mmm, dip... {well played mr gull, well played. You win, as I toss it in the trash}

Wouldn't just calling him Pinocchio have sufficed?

Yes, but...
1. kids are cruel
2. implies lying over just a big nose
3. mostly it's just fun to say 'nariz de Pinocho'
