Pet peeves

[4bidnfruit]

Reading this thread and finding out that I am a peeve. No names mentioned but I can read between the lines.

People* who use as an email subject nothing more than a question mark or part of a sentence.

You'd think the title of the field would suggest its use. "Subject" is a pretty clear label, don't you think? So put the subject of the fucking email in there!

Examples of inappropriate subjects: "When," "How," "???"

Even worse: Replying to a completely unrelated email with a brand new conversation. And then asking me weeks later if I still have that email you sent. "You know, the one about the blanket." A search revealed it—the subject was "Re: Robin Hood starts next week."

Same peeve for thread titles and individual posts.

* by "people" I mean, of course, my mother

[Ekserb]

Can we stop using the fuckism, "ass-ets" on this forum? It's dumb and it's entirely played out. Jesus, I think I saw it written five times today alone. Enough!

this is really just a personal pet peeve of mine...

When people in anyway remind that I'm young for this site. Yeah thanks captain obvious, now get off your high horse and open your mind up a bit. We're both consenting adults. We're both at this site for similar reasons. We both just want a little bit of fun. Get the fuck over yourself with your "Only interested in 30+ y/o guys" shit. I'm a GREAT fucking guy, and I get turned away all the time for just wanting a friendly chat just because I'm 19. Fuck. That. Shit.

And if you reading this reply or send me a PM saying "but...you ARE very young" I swear to god I will send you the nastiest fucking PM you've ever read in your life =___=



I never usually get this pissed but I've been getting reminded of it quite a lot just today...I really am a nice guy who loves to just chat (nonsexual I mean) and anyone who doesn't believe me I wholeheartedly invite you to PM me for a conversation. I won't disappoint.

The highlighted part might be the reason people aren't chatting with you. Young or old, most people don't respond well to that kind of anger. But good luck anyway.

Nah, I'm really not an angry person. I'm about as shy and modest as they come. It's just that this specific peeve of mine irritates me THAT much...

Plus (and I just thought of this ... and you're not going to want to hear it), everybody who tells you that has good reason to think you're only out for one thing: You see, while you've never been 30, we've all been 19.

this is very true, unfortunately. i suppose people find it rather difficult to believe that i'm one of the few young guys who doesn't have sex constantly on the brain :/

meh, i'll just be happy to talk to who i can for now and hopefully people will come to know who i am as a person on this site :/

 

[Beth87]

Probably everyone's peeve but PM's that consist of "Yahoo?"

I have it..but that message will get deleted with no response

I am so glad I'm not a woman. You girls have to put up with an insane amount of asinine banter and just-plain-dumb comments from the men on this site. On my thread I get an occasional "nice pictures" or something else as nice a sweet as can be, but the female picture threads are hundreds of pages of, "Ohh, baby. Nice ASS-ETS!" [emphasis not mine, and if I read that one again, I'm going to puke until the sun comes up].

I just went through and deleted every subscription to every girl's thread because I couldn't take it anymore. No amount of T&A is worth reading that shit every day.

Had a nice chuckle over this. Yeah, sometimes pic posting gets old - and I've been here for almost 2 years already. But sometimes, when a girl is feeling down, unsexy, shitty day, with PMS, with menstrual pains or all of the above - reading that shit makes one feel better.

I so agree!!

And that's why I'm glad I'm not a woman. I can appreciate the ego stroke you girls get from the guys—I'm sure it's a great boost to your morale—but I prefer the more modest feedback I get for my own photos.

Sadly, yours was one of the thread subscriptions I had to cancel. In fact, the guys on your thread may be the worst on the site. Sorry!

We're not all bad... .

But then your pics, erotic or non-erotic, are on a class of its own. And I think another good thing about being a man here is that the feedback you get is usually honest. They don't stroke your ego just to get more T&A.

Haha... guilty! Just kidding... hope there's no offense taken!

Worst on the site? How so?

 

[Ekserb]

Please. You felt the need to build a FAQ into your signature. Doesn't that tell you something?

 

[Peaches1990]

Arrogance and ignorance, in the many shapes and forms they take.

 

[pwr2theblondes]

Please. You felt the need to build a FAQ into your signature. Doesn't that tell you something?

It does. But many posters have similar signatures as me. I don't think my thread is any different from the others. I appreciate those who post on my thread and keep it alive. Without them I would be just another dying thread. There are always those posters whose comments are crude, tasteless, or just downright stupid but I enjoy 99% of them. It is usually the same people who post in the Am pics forum anyway. There aren't typically posters who solely post in my thread. So I don't see how mine is one of the worst on the site. Maybe I don't look at other girl's threads enough. But from what I have seen I don't notice a difference in the feedback.

Apparently, some women have an unfathomable capacity to absorb the exaggerated and at the same time fickle adorations of men.

I'd have to agree with you about that. And that's also an equal opportunity but yet astute slam at both sexes, simultaneously.

I can't add anything else to what appears below except:
Welcome to The Soviet Socialist Peoples Republic, comrade. You thought you were living in a country that embraced free and open markets. You were wrong.

Eco-Extremism: A light bulb factory closes in Virginia as mandated fluorescents are made in China. It’s now a crime to make or ship for sale 75-watt incandescent bulbs in the European Union. Welcome to green hell.

Thomas Alva Edison was a genius credited with the invention of many things - the phonograph, the motion picture, the incandescent light bulb, global warming. That last credit was given by those who rank light bulbs right up there with the internal combustion engine as ravagers of the planet.

The General Electric light bulb factory in Winchester, Va., closed this month, a victim, along with its 200 employees, of a 2007 energy conservation measure passed by Congress that set standards essentially banning ordinary incandescents by 2014.

Just as they are by fuel-economy standards, consumers are denied choice and the freedom to evaluate any possible benefits on their own by the nanny state. Washington’s force and coercion are necessary because it seems the great unwashed can’t seem to see the benefits or ignore the risks of compact fluorescents, or CFLs.

In Europe, light bulbs are already a controlled substance. The 100-watt bulb was banned last year and the 75-watt became illegal as of Sept. 1.

Not surprisingly, incandescent light bulbs there quickly became a hot item, flying off the shelves while they were still available. Der Spiegel reported that German customers leave hardware stores with carts piled high with enough incandescent bulbs to last 20 years. Garages and attics throughout the Old World are full of them.

It’s said that CFL bulbs are more economical in the long run because they supposedly use up to 80% less energy than old-style bulbs and don’t burn out as quickly. Though we’re not fully convinced of these claims, we do know that CFL bulbs are more expensive, costing up to six times as much as equivalent incandescent bulbs. Because they are made of glass tubes twisted into a spiral, they also require more hand labor and therefore cost more.

Due to the expense, CFLs are made largely in China, where labor is cheaper and environmental regulations not so strict. As with wind turbine blades, we are creating plenty of green jobs - in the People’s Republic.

Despite governments’ effort to market them, CFLs are not necessarily better. Tests conducted by the London Telegraph found that using a single lamp to illuminate a room, an 11-watt CFL produced only 58% of the illumination of an equivalent 60-watt incandescent - even after a 10-minute warm-up that consumers have found necessary for CFLs to reach their full brightness.

Lack of light isn’t the only drawback. CFLs apparently are so dangerous, the European Commission has to warn consumers of the environmental hazards they pose. If one breaks, consumers are advised to air out rooms and avoid using vacuum cleaners to prevent exposure to the mercury in the bulbs.

You can’t just throw an old bulb out, either. It must be properly disposed of lest your bedroom or family room become a Superfund toxic waste site.

Mercury is considered by environmentalists to be among the most toxic of toxic substances and, yes, it is dangerous if ingested or handled over time. We’ve been warned that high concentrations in fish are dangerous to pregnant women. We’ve been told mercury in vaccines causes autism. So it’s safe in light bulbs?

As we’ve found out here with energy regulation and taxes, and the push for cap-and-trade, governments don’t care what people want. Nor do they weigh the costs, the benefits and the risks of this or that. Government must mandate what’s good for us under penalty of law.

We still have time, though, before the lights go out. Our phase-out doesn’t begin until Jan. 1, 2012 - coincidentally an election year. When New Zealand faced a similar ban two years ago, it became an election issue for the National Party, at the time in the minority against the ruling Labour government.

In November 2008, the newly elected National Party overturned the light-bulb ban. This should make a light go on over the heads of GOP strategists seeking another issue against the nanny state. How about standing for light, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

What about LEDs?
