how do you pronounce "thing" with a silent G?

thin?

Oh bother, as Eyore says. LOL!! All right, all right. So it isn't a perfect pet peeve. I gotta get more hobbies.

If you're Cuban, yes.

Remember Ricky Ricardo?

Going to add when people "Reply to all" in emails so everyone keeps getting everyone's answers to one question.

Same kind of applies when mulitple people use the forum quote tool and 20 pics keep getting reposted over and over and over

Stupid people in training classes. Kind of gives you a little less respect for the managment because somehow these people made it thru an interview or two.

Becoming more and more peevish:

My mother's 3rd husb of 1.5yrs tells all the clients he meets that I'm his son.
So when they call here asking for a quote or information they say, "I believe it was your dad I spoke with correct?" I can't spend time explaining no, he's my mother's 3rd husb we don't even call him step-dad, we're not even that close, plus that makes me sound like a douche. It happens quite often.

Just for clarity: It's your Mom's third husb and she's been married to him for 1.5, OR there are more than 3 husb total and this guy is one of 3 that she's married for 1.5 years?

Take your time in responding, "son".

(sorry, had to ask. ;) )

Dad? Is it really you?

Still married to the 3rd, the one in question being him.

I guess it's usually more funny than a PP but:

When old people say, "Hello?" over and over when they pick up the phone and don't hear anyone on the line. It's clear when the call was dropped or the party hung up. I just listened to one say "Hello?" 7-8 times. :lol:

People who can't read. It happens way too much. Example is I'll post something like "Hey, let's meet at location X at time X and we'll run trail X." Then, about 2-3 replies later, someone will always ask, "Hey, I'm interested in going. When and where are we meeting?" WTF is wrong with people?

Better yet, they drive 900 miles and go to the wrong trailhead because they can't read and then complain to their friends that the group left without them.

... when people who have been at their job for years still dont know how to do basic job tasks

When vacations end.

Don’t use that passive aggressive management crap on me. If I screwed up just say so.
Them: “Hey Robert can you please check and see if program XYZ is working for you.”
Me: “Its working. Why?”
Them: “We just don’t show you accessing it”
Me: “Try again. Why?”
Them: “We just wanted to make sure it was working for you”
Me: “Load of crap. What happened?
Them: “You didn’t use it on two deal that you sent back.”
Me: “And the truth is out.”

I don't like it when people don't say goodbye on the phone, they just hang up instead. 2 people I know do this. Sometimes I'll try to rush a GB in so they have to say it but a lot of time that doesn't work either and I'm left holding the phone saying GB as, or after the line clicks.

I have three and all experienced today

1) billboards in spanish we are in america learn the language!!

2) people who slow down 10-15 miles below the speed limit when they see a cop or a speed camera

3) people who don't do the speed limit especially on grand and i-10 when i am trying to get to work:(

I agree with Brotobeast.

I would also like to add "people who post free Monster coupons without first checking if it's real, getting people hopes up, then dashing them against the rocks of reality."

that is all.

How there's no grocery store close enough to prevent my fudgesicles from melting in this heat.... they're like poop on sticks now.
