My list of things that must go!

[whitestuff]

Things I'd ban...

• Hairless cats - those things are freaky looking
• Text messaging on mobile phones - I know it has it's uses but I hate it. Oh and while I'm on the subject...
• Ridiculous Mobile Phone ringtones - keep your poor taste to yourself thanks.
• People who think that just because they drink blood and wear black they are vampires.
• Nazis - except in WWII FPSers.

I think that will do. I need to have a little rest and a lie down...

[Bill Newby]

People who think they know it all.

(They really annoy those of us who do.)

Folks who follow Revdyer or anybody else around posting "Amen" or "/sign" after they post something.. (I was going to put a wink smile here but then I thought that would seem.. rude?)

Amen.


(Someone had to do it.)

And religion?

I'll call them "Vampires" with a link to your post.

Organic means "carbon-based."
Now, people use it to mean one or more of the following: "healthy," "hormone-free," "steroid-free," "all-natural," and "dolphin-friendly."

It actually refers to processes in consumer products, but it is overused. If I see bottled water marketed as organic then I'm going to bring a false advertising complaint.

I'd also like to add pretty much 90% of commercials. You know what? All of 'em. I'll pay to not have them. And DRM.

I was going to put you on there, but I'll give you a pass for mentioning DRM. That's on the list.

Good one. That's a pet peeve of mine. One that made me cringe was a guy that said "It takes two to tangle." It was in the context of a pedestrian that was hit in a crosswalk by a drunk hit and run. I wanted to rip the idiot for trying to assign blame to the victim and with a horribly used metaphor on top of it.

DRM, isn't that Desmin Related Myopathy? You know, the rare neuromuscular disease?

Maybe we can add acronyms to the list!

Just to put more flame on the fire, there are forms of DRM I can stand, for the sake of the game. Steam is one. Spore's DRM...not so much.

Also, people who twist their own words around as long as possible so it doesn't seem as if they lied, yet still manage to make it seem like they said anything. I don't know what the name for these people is. Weasels?

My Idea for Bottled water was marketing a non trans fat, zero calorie water simply known as "Wet". Think it will sell?

Digital Rights Management Acronyms don't bother me 1. in moderation 2. when they are understood.

News reporters (though it isn't limited to them) who speak in a perfectly normal voice, but go into a foreign accent when a foreign word comes up.

[J4Jandar]

Neighbors that feel the need to comment about everything that happens in your back yard, i.e. "I see you had a barbecue, how fun.", "Uh oh, I see the dogs got into something..." Ugh!
