I guess I'm part of the problem. What are those sayings supposed to be?

"Sour grapes" has come to be an expression used to deride any type of complaining. For instance, people reply in a comment section that Justin Bieber sucks, that he's everything wrong with pop music, and a Belieber will reply "SOUR GRAPES!" Incorrect. Its original meaning comes from Aesop's fable "The Fox and the Grapes", and it indicates a person who cannot obtain something that they want, but rationalizes through false pretense that he doesn't actually want or need it anyway.

As for begging the question, Wikipedia explains it better than I could.

Beg the question

I've always said the smaller number first on connectors up to 9T, ie five-six suited or eight-nine off. But at JT I switch to the bigger card first, ie jack-ten off king-queen suited.

But for some weird reason when there are gaps I always say say the larger card first, ie five-three suited, seven-two off.

It somehow makes sense in my head that I would say 5-6 but would say 6-4. Maybe somehow my head connected 56s with counting so it feels wrong to say 65s bc thats backwards ldo, but once there is a gap or a face card I'm comfortable starting with the large card bc its not counting anymore...

There's this place I order Chinese takeout from and I know their doors open to the outside (pull when entering, push when leaving). They had "push" and "pull" labeled appropriately on each side of the door but the "sh" has completely rubbed away. Every time I exit I know which way the door opens, but as soon as I see the "pu--" label my mind immediately thinks "pull" for some reason. This only lasts a split second and by the time I actually get to the door I remember it's "push" to get out, so I haven't even been caught in any embarrassing moments where I try to open it the wrong way, but it still pisses me off.

When a company that produces a product that isn't a typical gift, tries to market their product as a potential gift around the holidays. Example...

Band aids.

They had a commercial recently and at the end they say "makes a great gift too!" And they show a little girl with some festive band aids on.

No, **** you. They make the worst gift ever. If someone gave me bandaids as a gift they can go to hell.

People who glorify food. I'm talking about "omg this is soooooo good!" "I was starving!" "mmmmmmmmm"

Along the same lines, It's like nails on a chalkboard when someone chews or drinks and they grunt or smack their lips loudly. I don't know why those noises bother me so much.

Do we need a "Things that should piss you off, but doesn't" thread? I have a feeling the thread wouldn't be very big.

I saw that commercial and started cussing at the TV. But it worked, here we are talking about them. But who the **** buys them outside of needing to keep a stock of them at your house.

I can't imagine some marketing person in March will be able to point to a sales spike in December and say it was because of the commercial. I am guessing they have better sales during the summer months when kids are running around outside, not in school, and getting scrapes and bruises.

I encountered the door handle push / pull scenario today at 7-11. As I was going in, I noticed that both sides of the glass door had the horizontal, full door-length handles, which in my mind means "Push". I figure I got a 50/50 shot, so I push. FML, no give.

IMO, all horizontal bars should be push, and all vertical handles should be pull. And this is generally how it works, it just sucks when you come across some back asswards store that doesn't know the difference.

How did it work? We are talking about it because it's terrible. It won't make me buy any more of their product.

In this self-portrait, one can see that the outside of the door has proper pull handles, and the inside of the door has proper push bars. This is the standard. Other arrangements / positionings of the handles and bars should result in the loss of business licenses, fines, or deportation.
