Drove to S'Port yesterday for the first time since the I-Bowl. Good thing I decided to leave an hour early because I forgot about the traffic delay west of Minden. The right lane was closed yesterday so as always, I went ahead and got in the left lane waaaaaay early. I noticed these VIP line breakers kept speeding by in the right lane trying to get as close to the merge section as possible before moving back to the left lane which is the MAIN reason the traffic is backed up in the first place. Thankfully a couple of truck drivers moved over into the right lane and held tight in their positions to stop the line breaking. - Post from yours truly in Comments That Don't Warrant a Thread

Don't you?

I think that most people who use this phrase either a) don't totally have the insight to recognize what they are really expressing or b) for whatever reason (e.g., fear of a butt-whupping) don't want to talk about their "value as a person" in explicit terms. :icon_wink:

Then let me add, don't use "loose" when you mean "lose," such as Hawaii is gonna lose big Wed night!

Didn't realize this would turn out to be a good prediction. :)

How about the people that come from the left lane across three lanes of traffic to take an exit during the crowded Dallas rush hour traffic and then slam on their brakes becasue they are going too fast for the already slow traffic!!!!!!!!!!

Hate that too.

I also hate the people that zip in and out of each lane fighting and fighting, slamming on brakes tailgating, speeding up and then slamming on brakes again just to get 10 more feet then they would have if they just stayed in the fast lane and went stop and go like everyone else. It rush hour, how fast do you think you are going to get anywhere? I always laugh when I stay in the fast lane and eventually end up passing those guys. LOL.

Ever heard of cable?:icon_roll:

How much of a dumbsh*t are you???

the phrase "perception is reality."

Little yip-yip "dogs." If your dog doesn't come up at least past my ankle, then you don't really have a dog. Doglet maybe. I could go with "dogster" or "guinea dog" or something like that I guess.

I just don't see how someone who can't get a real dog for whatever reason can decide to get something like that instead of a hamster. Seems to me that what you're giving up in brains, you make up for in quiet. Personality is a wash, smell is a wash, the hamster is probably more fragile and short-lived, but also less likely to put itself in danger.

Anyway, annoying little so-called dogs that are really just big rats are certainly my peeve of the day.

On a related peeve note, the trend of sportscasters to say "that's just X being X" or "X just needs to be X."

I think this mostly started with Manny Ramirez in Boston. I guess it was too much trouble and too clear to just say "that's just Manny being a jackass."

Now we have to have this for every sports figure alive. If a guy is being inconsistent, or flakey, or clutch or whatever - it's ok to just say so. Really.

People saying "M.P.G."

When they really mean Miles per Gallon.

Holy crap that drives me insane.

Liberals aren't the only ones that don't respect and hate the military (of course, until they need them). That crosses from one extreme to the other on the political scale.

Fine. The Amish and Log Cabin Republicans. :D

I'm not going to name individuals that aren't public personas (ie politicians, celebrities, etc). Can I name them right now this very isntant? No. It's not really THAT important for me to remember exactly those people unless they make it a point to put it out there ala Cindy Sheehan. What I know is that there was enough instances of it that I came to the conclusion that that is what it is. Is it flawed? Probably. But hey, it's just an opinion, and it's mine. It can change, it could stay the same. Who knows? Not like I'm going to be soing a thesis on it or something (hmmmmmm.........).

Folks who use "amount" instead of "number".

e.g.; there was a large amount of people present to witness nevada's arse getting beaten.

people who stare blankly at you, without speaking, when you say hello.

people who demand that your hours of operation were different last week, or that you were open last Saturday, but not this past one.

Here's my peeve and this one just cocks my pistol way, way back. Go to the Super 1 to buy groceries. Unload the groceries at check out. Pay. Get ready to bag groceries. But you can't because you only have 1 inch of space to place your cart because some stupid rude thoughtless lazy ignorant mindless mentally numb intelligence bankrupt b***h has parked her cart sideways instead of facing the counter so there is only room for ONE cart. WHY???????? And do they move when they see you trying to carve an inch of space to place your cart and bag your groceries so you can load them up in your vehicle so you can take them home and unload them after working all day? Hell no. They continue on their ignorant merry way tra la la twiddly deeing along. It makes me want to beat the living hell out of these dumba$$ women.

"They continue on their merry way tra la la twiddly deeing along."

Damn; that reminds me of this one lady (driving a jeep) who wouldn't pause for even a second to let me ease into the line of traffic leaving the stadium after our victory over the rainblows. :laugh:

Don't remember, but it had this BIG Tech sticker on the back window and the driver was wearing a hat that looked VERY familiar ............................... :D

I will expand on the grocery shopping comment by adding the politlcal aspect.

I am trying to save money by getting my rib-eye in the discount freezer, while some knucklehead is picking up full priced tenderloin with stamps

Not to worry, Honey; some kind folks let me onto the road about 20 cars behind you. I was coming up on the blacktop from where I'd parked at the BB&B tailgate site, and I know you didn't spot us even tho I blew my horn and waved out the driver's side window (which was on the wrong side, o.c., given you were heading south). Figured you were totally engrossed in listening to the post-game radio broadcast.

We weren't in a hurry, anyhow. :icon_wink:

I know that libs aren't the only military haters. I just forgot to put a comma in my previous post. I should have read, "liberals, people who don't respect the military." Two different groups. Now do many of them belong to both groups? Perhaps, int hat case, a punch in the face gets a kick in the balls, because in my world... two strikes and your out... If you need the third strike it means you didn't figure it out the first two times

I usually turn to the checkout person and ask them what it is like to deal with people like that all day long.

I'll add that these are the same people who block the entire isle while trying to pick out a can of corn.

I got up this am. and realized that one Nobel prize panel has no viking on it.

We are fans we have the luxury on focusing on whatever the hell we want. If I decide to focus on the BTE instead of Hawaii I think everything will still turn out allright.

BUMP


This seems to rear its ugly head every week. Guys don't go to the politics section or look at The Best Thread Ever because if you lose focus we might lose to Nevada. :laugh:

i don't like it either, but in a restroom with only two urinals VERY close together, you almost HAVE to talk to the guy -- otherwise, it is just too much a violation of personal space. just keep those eyes on the wall.

I was at a urinal yesterday and there was some dude droppin deuce in the stall behind me and he is having a full blown conversation on his cell phone.

People are nuts.

Use of the expression "Walk off.." Ugh!

Mike Patrick actually called Pitt's FG as time expired a "Walk off field goal."

STOP IT!

Tired of it as well besides it's a baseball expression. "Walk off field goal?"

People in Little Rock (or elsewhere) who refer to the grocery store chain as "Krogers".

It's just "Kroger". It's not plural. It's not possesive. It's not plural possesive.

Just. Plain. Kroger. People!

Sure there is. It's twice as far from the goal line as the "six-inch" line. Which is really stupid since the center always moves the ball before he hikes it anyway.

Speaking of which, try this peeve:

"Before the snap, false start...." Hey, Mr. Ref, can a player false start AFTER the snap???

All any announcer has to be able to say doing a Saints' game:

"Brees to Colston....touchdown!"

Yeah, baby! :)

BTW, Tech's QB and WR corps should watch and study video of the Saints' offense. It's amazing what happens when you have a QB who can throw and WRs who can catch: the passing attack clicks!

commentators who pronounce another as A-nuther.

Some person wrote the S'port Time this weekend complaining about the new law requiring slower traffic to keep right. They actually stated that this was going to be a big problem Monday (today) morning with all the traffic in the right hand lane going the same speed, if only it could be true. Nope there I was on Benton Rd this morning and some duffus was driving 40mph in the left lane right next to another vehicle.

how about when you order a meal at any drive-thru and they repeat the order back to you and still get it wrong.

Well, it IS the same as saying that one is equal to the other, when the comparison is structured in such a way that it makes the two sound comparable.

this statement contains a perfect example -- "comparable" and "equal" are two words that are comparable but not equal.

When people at in a business environment stop a conversation to answer the phone. I was there first!

OR when people have those stupid bluetooths in, which is a pet peeve to begin with, and start talking on the phone without telling you and you think they are still talking to you.

I will say that I have friends that went to West Point and they hate Navy. (obviously just the football program not the institution and branch) You are one of the first that I have seen that just loves all of the service academies. Most casually like and respect them but I could care less. Whatever floats your boat.

Is it the kind of hate where they want them to lose ALL their games, not just the one against Army?

Our series with Army and Navy have sparked an interest in the service academies I've never had before, fanned by the fact that I now have a reason to root for one of them. I don't know about JuBru, but being in the military but not actually attending a service academy has caused me to be a generic fan of all of them, but wanting my own service to win the head-to-heads.

I don't know. The little yippy ones need to be kicked sometimes. Especially when they stand outside my bedroom window and "bark."

The owners probably ought to be kicked more, but I don't want to leave the little "dogs" out either. I think the ratio should be approximately 2:1 (with two kicks for the owner who should have bought a hamster instead, and one kick for the little rat/dog with the horrible little yip yip bark).

What a complete jackass you are. Here's a soldier in pain in the hospital upset with the care he is getting and you are making jokes about it. Not to mention he's laid up in the hospital during the holidays you tell him to enjoy. I know you have been told by countless what a complete waste of time you are and you seem to get a nut off of it but come on man get a damn life. I usually don't pay much attention to the crap you write because I recognized a long time ago that it was a waste of time, but since you seem to enjoy being a antagonist so much consider me antagonized. You have no intellect at all and to make matters worse you seem to think you do. You don't have the good sence to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool you have to open it and remove all doubt.
