Pet Peeves

Some people are "rule" followers. Some make the rules.

Before everyone goes declaring the British as the ultimate authority on subject/verb agreement, I will remind you that these are the same blokes who take a word like math and just pluralize it

Well, there are different kinds of maths. The maths are myriad.

on the grammar kick, I hate how the British wrongly use a team name as a plural.

It's Crystal Palace IS a team not Crystal Palace ARE a team.

Strongly disagree

[Fedor]

Man, MichiganCat really showing his ass here.

Yes and team plural is gonna line up and kiss it

Mich and I don't agree on much, but I will march shoulder to shoulder with him to the place where team plural will line up to kiss our asses.

My TVs occasionally need an update which I have to OK with the original TV remote that I don't use or I cannot use the TV.

Could not disagree more. The chiefs are a team. Stupid to say Kansas City is but the chiefs are.

you say "Kansas City are driving down the field"?

And that sounds right to you?

This drives me nuts and it never happened before our culture started to be corrupted by soccer.  "Sporting Kansas City are blah, blah blah..." Yuck.

People that save seats at random kids things. My daughter had her Kindergarten program today & people brought in blankets to to lay out on chairs. Some lady came in, then put out blankets over 7 seats. Then 4 or 5 women stood the whole time filming every second of the thing with their phones.

That’s a good one. The parents with the insane chairs at soccer I find very annoying. I just stand 90% of the time and I don’t care if other people sit, but the 4 feet wide rocking chairs that people rush to plop down right next to the sideline crowding the teenage linesmen are kind of disgusting.

[nicname]

Back to the Brits and other stiff upper-lip types.

Saying "an historic" rather than "a historic" sounds weird to me. not really a peeve, but mildly annoying.

[Sandstone Outcropping]

Why are there people who have lived in central Kansas their entire lives who use a drawl?

This is a good one. The filming of the kid programs is very out of hand these days.

I pulled the trig and bought a nice chair for soccer but I try and not infringe on the sideline.

Yeah, these are both really good ones. The seat savers are the worst. Notice this a lot at vacation resorts. "hey, I got up at 3 am and put towels on this entire row and then went back to bed for 6 hours, why are you in my seat?"

The recording too. My kid was on a soccer team a couple years ago and this mom would video almost the entire game on her phone. I always hated sitting near her because I would be afraid one of my stupid comments would get caught on her recording. Even saw some weirdo record the entire month end assembly at my kids school last week. Its just a stupid thing they do every freaking month and this guy recorded the whole damn thing smiling the whole time. I always wonder what % of people actually watch the stupid crap they record. Apple has to love the crap out of these people. "You have exceeded your iCloud storage, please pay more for the 8,000 videos on your phone that you have never watched".

Yeah seat savers are a big time pet peeve.  At the resort I was just at in the DR they had their staff going around the pool area yanking anything off the chairs and loungers before 9am.  lol

I hate the term ‘sex worker.’ No, Candy, you’re a hooker.

Sex work includes more than just prostitutes

This reminds me of the time a friend told me about what he witnessed at a XXX movie theater.  Seems there were two older ladies seating next to this fat old man.  The lady next to the old guy says to her friend that the guy was jacking off.  She says "Let's get out of here!", but the gal replies "I can't, he's using my hand!".  So seed 7, I agree.
