Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 56 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Nothing to do with what he is saying. He is remarking on the fact that people who are trying to get on at a stop don't first let the people who want to get off get off.

And it should piss u off.

Yeah, exactly what you said. I guess the level this pisses me off is way out of line then, since I sometimes feel the urge to push those people down if I am the first in line to exit, but luckily I still have some self-control left and just imagine me doing it.

Just gonna throw this out there. People correct your grammar a lot, don't they?

I get annoyed when people correct grammar arrogantly or about obscure grammar rules, but it never crossed my mind that they've never gotten laid. That's a weirdly specific conclusion about someone based on something so unrelated.

I've never seen a driver do this. Even if it's an Olympic gymnast, keeping the right foot on the ground and the left foot out the window would be uncomfortable, and 99% of people are too physically inflexible to do it. And doing this is an efficient way to ask an officer to pull you over.

I see passengers with feet on the dashboard. Maybe once or twice I've seen feet out the window.

Anyone who uses some variant of this as an insult, particularly in any kind of argument. Especially when arguing with anyone in authoritay or who's obviously more knowledgeable. It's the internet message board equivalent of 14 year olds calling each other "gay". That is, it just shows the poster is ignorant, completely lacking in wit or imagination and happy to fall back on tired and worn clichés. It's very similar to Godwinisation, except dumber.

People saying "yeah, not so much..." still still pisses me off, but it probably should.

Doesn't really piss me off so much as wonder wtf?

I do this for two reasons:

1) I don't want to stand next to some random dude pissing, and possibly get his urinal splashback onto my shoes.

2) I have a shy bladder.

mother of jesus there are fewer ways to torpedo my opinion of you than saying this. There are people I like and respect who have used this phrase out of nowhere and now when I see them it's the first thing I think about. I can't quite pinpoint why. Is it because I think they believe it actually sounds poignant yet cutesy and cheeky but in reality it sounds stupid and pompous? Maybe. Even if it should piss me off, it pisses me off more than it should.

The existence of the royal flush as a separate category tilts me. It's just an ace high straight flush. Plus the ten isn't royalty (even if we give the ace and the jack credit for being royalty, which is probably bs too).

I once saw a guy driving while drumming a guitar, with the neck stuck out the window. I assumed he was steering with his knees.

the jack in the box by my house has a touch screen menu kiosk for in-store ordering. order your food, pay your monies, get your number, pick up your food.

If supermarket self-checks are any indication, I think implementing touch screen self-ordering for drive through would closely correlate with a huge increase in violent crime at drive through lanes.

To add to the list of phrases that annoy me (but shouldn't?):

Wait...what?
you mad?

I am guilty of the first one, but trying to stop.

But no one knows, or should be expected to know, what the past unreal conditional is, so I don't gripe about "If I would have." The more arrogantly someone points out a grammar mistake, the more pissed I'll get, because I guarantee I can take a ten-page writing sample from that person and find twenty grammar and punctuation mistakes, not to mention awkward phrasing and word choices. Not that I'm perfect. I still make enough mistakes that I periodically revise writing samples.

(Not saying anything about atakdog--he's fine. Most people have no clue about the past unreal conditional and I'm glad he pointed it out in this conversation.)

I generally refrain from correcting grammar anywhere, but it doesn't stop me from thinking the offender is an idiot.

I completely disagree with your statement. A native speaker should know instinctively. Of course most people will have no idea what you're talking about if you mention either 'the past unreal condition' or 'the third condition', but they absolutely should know how to use it if they are native speakers.

Looking at it the other way, it feels really stupid to say 'if I would have'.

Nope, sorry, no excuse.
