Quit writing "edit(ed) to add" or using the confusing abbreviation ETA. Just make your edit! If you feel you need to call attention to the edit, use the existing "PS". ETA means Estimated Time of Arrival!

Movie pet peeve off mine: looking back/behind you while running away from something or someone. It destabilizes your posture, making you slower and more likely to trip. It's also useless, as the only information you could get, is how close the following entity is. Be assured, you know if it caught up to you.

Acceptable exception: pursuing character starts to laugh. Being startled by that is reasonable, because you might want to check, if you are being pranked.

The Absolute Rage Induced by “K.”

Daily writing promptWhat’s a word or phrase that annoys you?View all responses There are many phrases in this world that annoy me. Corporate buzzwords. Fake positivity. Passive aggressive nonsense. People saying “we should totally hang out sometime” when both of you know that is never happening. But there is one response, one microscopic combination of letters, one digital communication war crime that rises above the rest. One phrase so unbelievably lazy, dismissive, cold, and […]

FINALLY a picture I can pull out when someone draws a seven-spot ladybug with eyes on the white spots of its thorax. 🐞.

The Rudeness of Not Responding to Greetings!

It grinds my gears when people don't respond to greetings like 'Good morning' or 'Hi.'
A simple acknowledgment is all it takes to start a conversation. Silence is not an option!

Is there a comic or meme or comedy sketch out there that makes fun of this common spelling error? It really bugs me when people misspell things, it makes them look so stupid, and I’m craving a humorous way to deal with this one right now.

When people talk as though they're forced to watch movies they don't want to

When people talk as though they're forced to watch movies they don't want to - Lemmy.ca

On a post about the new Narnia movie being delayed, someone said “now Christmas won’t be ruined”. Why? Was the movie going to automatically play on your TV screen on Christmas against your will, unprompted? To be fair, maybe they had family who were going to watch it and that might make it hard to avoid, but people have this attitude all the time. They complain about remakes “ruining” the original. Well, if you know that changes to the story are going to be that much of a problem for you, why are you watching it? It is actually much easier to not watch a movie than to watch it. Watching a movie takes effort, especially in the theater. Even watching at home takes some degree of effort, you sought it out on whatever platform you watch it on and pressed play. Take some responsibility for your choices. Movies come out every week that you’re not watching and they have little to no impact on your life. Most movies only impact your life if you choose for them to. I bet most people don’t even know the Winnie the Pooh horror movie exists. It only impacts your life if you choose to watch it. But when some people saw that there was a Winnie the Pooh horror movie, they flipped out about it ruining the characters. It only affects you if you watch it.

Pet peeve of the day: getting sweet tea, when you clearly asked for unsweet. I propose that henceforth, unsweet tea (The One True Tea) shall be referred to simply as "tea" or "iced tea" and sweet tea be referred to as "Satan's Urine". This will cut way down on confusion at the drive through. Than you for your support, and apologies to southern US-ians, as well as to those to whom the very idea of iced tea is distasteful.
