Pet peeves that should be pet peeves

[Seth1968]

People who:

- Start and end every sentence with "ya know". Even worse is when they throw it in the middle of a sentence as well.

- Start a sentence with "Well, honestly"? No ffs, I want you to lie to me.

I know someone who uses the term "so I says", drives me nuts. Do you have a grade 2 education?

Do any of you curl? As in the sport curling?

I fucking hate it when you play with a team who has a busybody (who isn't even good) that keeps giving you advice and telling your team to sweep or not in a very intrusive way. Like, I know it's for fun and everything but god, STFU.

On the same note, people who think they're good at something that they think they can start giving you advice.

Every beer league hockey team has a couple too.... Plus the guys that take it way too seriously, like who gives a shit about winning, I'm here for exercise. I'm not working on my game in hopes of making the NHL in my late 30s you idiot.

I always wonder about those types. But what if they genuinely think they're helping.

Lol! Fair enough. But I don't see the harm in someone offering some friendly couching or advice as long as they aren't as annoying as you state.

To be fair the way one couches is totally personal preference. No one can tell me what body position, number of blankets/pillows etc feels best for me.


But yea to nissan’s point, peer coaching in beer leagues is stupid. People are there to have fun. If they wanted to improve and excel they’d do that outside beer league.

Especially hilarious when as disoblige mentioned they aren’t any good.

i know that is the worst. There is always a guy on the bench that sucks but is loud as fuck.

It might be in this thread somewhere already, but why do people use their cell phone speakerphone while walking around in public? They hold it just below their face and yell into it, having super loud, very public conversations with people. Is there some reason for this I don't understand? It's weirdly common.

On a similar note, I notice people do this with music too. They either use their phone or sometimes a large bluetooth speaker, and jam to their music super loudly in crowded +15's, on trains & buses, or similar areas. What is the point of this? I even saw one guy once who had a regular bookshelf speaker rigged up to something in his backpack haha - must have had a separate amp and everything.

It's for attention.

You're probably right, but all the attention is negative, so it seems odd.

[gretz]

To add, when people ask a question or make a statement and follow it up with "right?" right?

K, these are starting to get ridiculous. They belong in baygirl's thread.

These aren't things that SHOULD be Pet Peeves.

Pet peeve: A product with an instructional youtube video instead of written instructions. I just want to skim an article and get the gist of how to install your product, I'm not a child (though some may disagree) who needs their hand held through every step. A diagram can convey the same information you have in your 8 minute youtube video.
