Pet Peeves

[blobfan]

Been looking back at the Pet Peeves thread from the beginning - I think it's time for me to weigh in since I will finally be getting lessons in the near future:

"...Which leads me to my recent pet peeve: people that dwell on the same negative stories for years and years."

That's a lot easier to say when you're not on the receiving end of such an incident. While something happened to me as a young kid that was self-inflicted, it does create a mental block that's harder to overcome as a kid.

This was my aunt and I was still a child when she started telling me the story in detail. That's more a way to make others as freaked out as you. I prefer my mother's practice of NOT freaking your kids out about the irrational things that bothered you. And my aunt has a tendency to always dwell on the negative. She likes to see herself as someone that has overcome so many obstacles and is always prepared to recount them for you. There isn't a story you can tell that she cannot relate back to herself, even if the question is as simple as "do you want to swim with us?" It would be different if it were one thing in an otherwise full and varied conversational relationship.

People who ask "Sick of the weather up there yet, bet you miss Cincinnati!".

No. No I knew what I was getting into by moving into Central New York. Yes, a 3 foot snowfall before Thanksgiving is unusual, but in reality, I love snowstorms and the cold. I'm having a blast, even if you don't think it looks fun, for me, it actually is a great time.

And by the way, after that huge amount of snowfall, the roads here are clear, less than 12 hours later. Cincinnati would lose their collective minds with this amount of snow.

Welcome to the north brother. I like the Eskimo look on you!

A little bit of a learning curve (plow guys SUCK) but it's beautiful country and I can go outside wearing a fur hat and nobody thinks it's odd. My kind of place.

People who don't respond to the latest email in a chain and instead bring the conversation back several hours... days... years... millennia...

WE'VE ALREADY MOVED ON. Please join us in the future.

When people mix politics with sports.

I come to this site as an outlet and when I go to a thread for sports I prefer to read about sports. When I go to a thread about politics I prefer to read about politics.

Not a pet peeve but....There are great people on here that I follow on twitter too. But for me twitter is another outlet for me regarding sports. I typically unfollow if someone starts talking politics regardless of which side of the fence they are on. Nothing wrong with it, just a personal preference.

Finals. Can we move them to the off-season?

Who is this Trevor guy the announcers keep saying is playing for us?

What number does he wear?

Trevor Bullet, that kid's good.

I think that Shruggs kid is going to be good too.

The words class, classless, and classy when used to described a sporting event, sport program or athlete during a sporting event. If one more mouth-breathing redneck from the school in Clifton uses the word classy about Xavier I may lose my mind.

[X-band '01]

What about folks in Dayton and Indy?

[LadyMuskie]

I prefer to live as though dayton does not exist.

If you were getting ready to play before 31 fans in Orlando, you'd be looking for anything to distract yourself...

[LadyMuskie]

31 CLASSY fans.

[xeus]

It's bad enough reading about the stupid Louisville program. But what really pisses me off is that goddamn exclamation point they include in Yum! Center.

Coaches leaving.

No loyalty

Fans that complain when giveaways aren't good enough.

[PM Thor]

Moving to a part of the country where the area code is 315 and so everyone...and I mean EVERYONE, thinks that you simply messed up when saying your area code is 513.

And no, I'm not going to change it. They should change theirs. They are the dumb ones.


I HATE dayton.

[X-band '01]

Meh - I spent about a month working in the Bay Area where there were lots of 510 area code prefixes. No biggie.

[GoMuskies]

People's recent interest in using the word "gaslighting" incessantly.

[GoMuskies]

People whining about off topic posts on a message board.

The articles I really want to read at ESPN college basketball page...all have the "+" sign. (I'm not paying)

Get disgusting ugly Aaron Rodgers off of my television. My wife now screams in terror when she sees him. Think of the children.

[paulxu]

Having to click on 17 different threads to read the same damn message. Fire Travis Steele.

What the hell is wrong with all that stuff being in one thread.

Travis Steele not being fired yet

They are pretty good commercials, though (and I do have one of their cards).

Did they draw my Powerball number?

They didn't draw anyone's number. $2.3 billion on Wednesday.

I wish someone would win already so I dont keep wasting money buying these things! I have now been a part of the "stupid tax" the last 3 drawings!!

Yep. I’ll be paying the “stupid tax” again today or tomorrow.

Now it appears someone DID win Powerball. What a weird situation all around for this drawing.

[paulxu]

Was the winner in South Carolina ?

Also, I demand a recount.

On the morning of the first day of the NCAA Tournament I flip through the sports radio channels and every single one is talking about dirty, lying hippie Aaron Rodgers.

Agreed. I hate how much the nfl takes over the sports world 12 months out of the year. WWE of sports

[X-band '01]

If my team just lost to Princeton, I'd probably want to talk about foosball free agency over the NCAA Tournament right now.

Why do they have 6 hot dogs in a package, and 8 hot dog buns in a package.

Steve Martin flashback tonight.

There are traditionally 10 hot dogs in the package, but if you buy the "bun length" dogs, there are eight.

The universe makes sense again.

They seriously have to stop having Lent at the same time as Saint Patrick's Week and March Madness. I am not not drinking this weekend (or next weekend).

St. Patrick chose the wrong time to die! Some saint!

The Church has generally given absolution for St. Patrick's Day, leaving it up to local Bishops to make that decision.

As if it mattered...

The friggin buns always go stale or have freezer burn b4 you run out of dogs.

People on this board who have posted hundreds and hundreds of times, and bitch and moan about other people, yet are too cheap to cough up a measly $12.50 a year to help Muskie defray the cost of hosting this site for us all.

I almost convinced none of them actually went to Xavier and just whine on this board for free. Reminds me of a similar political network.
