Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 717 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

This happens too often for my liking.. Sorry for the tldr....So it's myself and one other person on the elevator. There are buttons on either side of the elevator and I stand on the opposite side of the car so I can give the other person space and push the button for the floor I'm going to. Inevitably, they will say what floor? **** you! I can press my own button! I really shouldn't care, but it really pisses me off!

Those people should burn in hell!

re: rescue dogs

I can't say I had an alternative in mind, I've never thought about it, but it never occurred to me that people who say they have a rescue dog just got it at the pound. Jeez, I'm a sucker.

Did Bill Burr steal that from him or vice versa?

I just don't like the term "rescue." Just tell me you got your dog at the pound.

I'm not sure who did it first. I heard Carolla do it on Loveline in the nineties. I really don't think anyone "stole" the bit though. It's a pretty simple premise for a joke.

People seem to love it when Kiwis do the Haka, like its some sort of amazing spectacle. Pisses me off. It's basically just squatting and slapping yourself. Plus it feels like white people just ripping of Maori culture.

When actors play mobsters in movies or TV shows and then all of sudden think they are mobsters in real life.

But I didn't. I got him from a woman who fosters Boston Terriers. Anyway, how do you feel about the term "adopt"?

Also, just to be clear, while I am glad I res...er, adopted my dog, I don't look down on anyone who buys a dog from a breeder. Those dogs need homes too, and any that don't get sold eventually become pound puppies anyway...if they're lucky.

So do you tell people you rescued your dog? From the woman that fosters purebreds?

I hate hearing people say they adopted a dog that costs like 500+.

My old next door neighbor got this super cool french bulldog puppy. When she introduced it to me she said "I just adopted her".

I am like, you didn't adopt a $2000 dog, you bought it.(yes I realize it costs money to adopt a kid too)

I am fine if you are paying an adoption fee of like 150 at a pound or whatever.

You've got a pretty crappy opinion of breeders. This pisses me off.

I ninja edited that in, but also consider the fact that kids are not created by the adoption agency.

Pure breeds are a money making scheme for a lot of people, I don't think people are getting pregnant for profit

I think it's weird to draw a line in the sand, where if getting a dog costs $X it's ok to use a word, but if a dog costs $X+1 it's not ok to use that word.

I'm not at all surprised you would nit about it, though. Cue nitting about X+1

EDIT: Eh. For sure people make money off pure-breds. And your objection is not only a perfect fit for your online persona, but for the thread!

My dog actually was a rescue after the giant flood that engulfed Nashville in 2010 (rope burns on her neck where she'd been tied up and tried to escape). But someone else did the rescuing. We just picked her up at the farm the Humane Association paid to keep all the strays they were finding.

He is right though, except for the people not getting pregnant for profits. Who 'adopts' a purebread for 2k ? In normal life we call that buying a dog imo.
