Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 166 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

People who object to being told "bless you" or "God bless you." I'm as atheist as they come, but I say it. It's nice. Also, unless you are a completely clueless social cretin it shouldn't engender some bizarre Seinfeldian awkwardness--no one is waiting for some elaborate acknowledgment or thanks or w/e. it's just a bit of harmless courtesy you ****ing nits.

You remember where you are, correct?

There's a radio station in town (98.7, The Peak), that claims to play "Whatever the hell we want." </snip>

Related, when KBCO still uses the "World Class Rock" motto (which used to be true or at least truer BCC--Before Clear Channel) and then plays the Cars immediately afterward.

The Cars sucked 30 years ago, and haven't improved with age.

All Marvel comic book superheros.

Deep down inside they are all just a bunch of neurotic girly-men.

Adverbs.

I despise adverbs.

But when one adverb modifies another adverb it infuriates me.

And this! The Cars are a strange band to hate--lots of pretty classic pop songs.

American Dad > first 3 seasons of Family Guy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> TV being turned off >>> Cleveland show >> recent Family Guy

Theory I subscribe to is that the creative forces behind American Dad (which largely do not include MacFarlane) were instrumental in the first three seasons of FG (largely good and funny) and weren't involved in the post-cancellation abortion.
