Pet Peeve Thread

The whole "green movement" just sets me off so bad that i want to curse like a sailor, I don't mind you, but i want to. The company that i work for is a "green" company, i respect the effort and ideas of preserving our planet, but the men's room urinals don't use water to flush in the "green" bathrooms. This results in a bathroom that ALWAYS smells like stagnant piss. Its bad enough that you can smell it at times from in the hallway just walking by the bathroom. I'm sorry, but the amount water it takes to flush the urinals isn't gonna take away anything from our planet. Water in....water out, it all goes back to the ground.


Peace,
Tommy

Logitech

Poorly made products, even worse customer support. Products will just disappear from their website, so support, no old drivers, no mention of it ever existing.

MX5000 cordless desktop Bluetooth keyboard mouse combo that loses the mouse every other boot. Matching keyboard that will just start repeating letters as you type. The only way to stop it is to turn it off, but then you have to go back through the detection all over again.

I forgot to mention the Logitech Harmony remote that almost destroyed my marriage.

except for the easily destroyed left clicker (i kinda click a lot) on logitech KB's and mouse sets ... i've had no problems with them.

You wouldn't complain so much if you had ever gotten a whiff of my monkey.

Haha, those urinals that don't flush are absolutely nasty. They claim it is just as sanitary, but there is no way. I agree with you, let us flush the urinals and then we can save elsewhere. Those things are like setting ourselves back to before we didn't have running water.

I don't like it when people use the word "unilize" in stead of "use". I usually use an automatic word change when I get a document to review. Utilize seems to be a buzz word that people use to sound more intelligent but it is just a longer word.

I don't like it when people use "thru" instead of through because it seems like you can't bother to use the proper spelling.

I don't like it when people use X for the work cross, such as Xmas or Xover because it seems like you are too lazy to write out the word properly.

People that walk talk and breath at the same time really annoy me...

I hate people that speed up so they can whip in front of me and cut me off, when there's about a half mile of empty road behind me. What the hell? It's easier and safer to just slow down and merge behind somebody instead of cutting them off and slamming on your brakes. It's like nobody wants to let anyone in front of them. I guess that means they lose? Whatever.


The other day I was on a 2-lane freeway on ramp that merges down to one. I was in the right lane and passed up the guy on my left because there was plenty of room in front of me to merge in front of him. Then this jackass decides he doesn't want me merging in front of him for some reason, so he speeds up. He's not able to completely close the distance, so as I start moving to the left to merge in, he lays on his horn, like I did something wrong!!! Let me get this straight, you speed up to try and cut me off, then when it doesn't work, it's somehow my fault and I'm the asshole?!?!? Jackass.

I thought of another one. People Who Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Word When They Type. I'm Not Sure If They Think They Are Actually Writing Formally, Or Are They Just That Epicly Retarded?

It takes longer to type that way... Why the hell would you want to do that? I don't think I've seen it here, but it is pretty common in many forums.

I happen to utilize "thru" and "x" very often. I even have become lazier than before, and instead of using x-over, I've foregone the hyphen entirely, and now opt instead for "xover".

I hope you don't begrudge me too much. If you knew how much I frequently type, with my relatively high accuracy in spelling, maybe you could forgive this poster every once in a while.

Besides, its spelled "utilize" and not "unilize".

This thread is going to be a 100 pages long in no time.

Also, typing out some huge long important post or PM, taking loads of time to get it just right, pressing post or send then your computer or internet connection barfs coat hangers and you lose everything...

Then, in a desperate attempt to retrieve your lost work, you press the back button but it brings you to a blank page.

I Don't Think They Do That On Purpose, For Example, This Post Was Typed With Caps Lock On. The Forums Automatically Kill The All Caps And It's Automatically Converted To Small Caps - Except The First Letters.

That's what Firefox is for. Restore pages even after a crash. Firefox > all.

I didn't know that about this forum. Interesting. However, at least one of the forums I know of that has this problem does not have that feature. Some of these tards actually take the time to type it out that way.
