What is something that annoys you?


Currently I am supposed to be watching a movie with someone and they keep getting me to pause it so they can answer the telephone. So yeah, that is something that annoys me.

Seriously. Ugh. Haha

Maybe I'm being wrong, but they could cut the convo short at least ;)

People who excessively use the same emoji or exclamation marks at the end of a sentence in order to appear emphatic. One is enough.

reply

One is never enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

reply

Sometimes even one is unecessary.

reply

I know.

reply

When i see them used where they don't belong, it makes me think of silver/bronze-age DC comic books, where every sentence ended in one....

Jimmy! A dog is stuck on a log in the Metropolis river! Superman is on his way! Please cover the story!

Hi, Lois! Nice story yesterday! Free for lunch? Sorry, Clark! I'm busy! Have to cover a news conference in an hour, then meeting Superman! Let's do it tomorrow!

reply

My understanding is, that a well written article should contain only one exclamation mark, if necessary.

Granted, given today's internet, I often make concessions when it comes to grammar, just to keep the peace. On FB for example, you and I would be labeled as " grammar nazis. "

reply

Yeah, well, labels or not, the so-called "grammar nazis" are the last bastion in attempting to maintain the correct use of the English language.

reply

We are.

reply

Yup, some of us just love the power of words and still have a respect for our language.

I'm annoyed by actors or actresses that act like they are somewhat disadvantaged, mistreated or even *gasp* discriminated by Hollywood while actually are not.

Advertisements.

They are every where!!

What is something that annoys you?
other people
also, myself
that pretty much covers it.

reply

Yeah, i know what you mean. I definitely annoy myself.

I thought of something else that annoys me, while watching A Street Cat Named Bob last night. Good movie, BTW, despite its terrible title and poster.

It bugs me when shows or movies show an animal, and feel *compelled* to dub in a bark or meow, or whatever other sound the animal makes, when it makes absolutely no sense they would be barking/meowing/whatevering at that moment. As though the audience is too stupid to realise it really is a cat in the shots, unless they dub in a bunch of meows.

It happens more with cats than with dogs, I've noticed, when 90% of the time the cat would be silent.

It's along the same lines as no one ever saying goodbye when they hang up the phone.

reply

Hollywood is all about overkill or underkill, rarely real life. And a Hollywood cat would likely be more "talkative." The ego, y'know :-)

reply

But it's so stupid, pointless, and annoying. The film I just watched was British, so I guess that makes that cat a Londoner cat :)

reply

Cat!! Are you actually saying that many films today are stupid, pointless, or annoying, or all 3? Oh, the horror!! :-)

reply

I know, it boggles the mind [laugh]

reply

Yeah the hanging up on everyone is insane. Why do they do that??
And the fake pet noises reminded me of when they have a fake baby and play sounds of a baby crying. This is so annoying. I doubt they do it on newer shows..but oh my its cringe worthy.

reply

I don't know why they do it! It makes no sense. Can't be about reducing time because having a character say goodbye takes all of a second.

Yes, fake baby sounds too! Even if it's a real baby, often they dub in cooing and gurgling baby noises. I think they still do it.

reply

Let's not even talk about laugh tracks. haha

reply

Oh gawd, I hate laugh tracks. Do any shows use them anymore?

reply

I think so. I haven't watched any newer sitcoms in awhile though.

reply

Not just annoys but outrages me : animal abuse

reply

Same here. Hell would be too good for the monsters who abuse animals, children and other defenseless beings.

reply

I'm with you both on that! Anyone who abuses an animal or child deserves the same exact torment and THEN some!

reply

I have some ideas in how to punish them...

reply

I have many ideas, and they ALL include 'my right to bear arms'.

reply

I like to work quietly,from the shadows...

reply

I love it
