Things that bother you or don't make sense.

Speaking of weather forecasts, the 10 day forecast. They can't get this afternoon right.

are you in the path of the tropical storm, as is florida?
it seems to have blown over.

it's not that i don't take weather advisories seriously...but i think the newscaster said...'tens of millions of ppl will be affected.'
tens of millions?

No, ATL is a bit north and west, although we will be getting fallout from it.

This is probably just the cynic in me, but I find people (especially on social media) who always say that they're blessed or feeling blessed to be annoying.

We get it. You really REALLY love your family. I don't understand why you feel the need to reiterate this fact every week.

I also dislike when people call others "fake." There is no such thing as a fake person (excluding cyborgs and androids). Someone may be ungenuine, but I'm pretty sure they're real.

I think those people are hiding affairs.

When it comes to FB I hate the Memes they had their day in the lime light now let them retire and let me get back to reading the more important stuff that actually pertains to peoples lives... Just another way to hinder originality... Pre-scripted opinions... ugh.

Auto correct ...the words that it feels the need to correct make no sense to me. Then, I spell "both" as "bith" ...clearly a typo and it left it as bith? Lol Bith is a word?

Small diners and hole-in-the-wall restaurants that tout their "world famous" specialties. You know, divey little places and one-owner places that seat fewer than 40 people, and yet, which supposedly offer "world-famous" things like Big Al's Word-Famous Chicken Chili, or Posey's Cafe's World-Famous Biscuits and Gravy Brreakfast.

I think originality died sometime in the 90's.

Don't get me started.

The worst are those political ones that take a complex issue like abortion or gun control, and attempt to make a "snappy" statement with an image and a few lines of reductive, sophistic text.

I hate people can't use the right spelling of a word. Site/sight/cite, ark/arch/arc..... stuff lite that.

People who trespass along the line of a grammatical error when they say "right" when they really should say "correct"...

People who use multiple periods at the end of a sentence.....

3 periods = an ellipsis. 4 periods = Parkinson's.

65mph speed limits. Most cars these days can cruise at 80mph no problem.

Time to update!

Reaction time is one of the main reasons for the speed limit. Not the ability of the car.

Autobahn is safer than most American highways.

I blame lack of driver training. Every other civilized country has advanced driver training. Teaches skills like wet weather driving, loss of traction exercises, advanced object avoidance.

Our country's current system is a joke.

Here's a pet peeve. When the check out person and customer, decides to have a 5 min talk. After the receipt is handed over, while you stand a wait.

People who are in my age group (40+) who try to sound 'hip,' by speaking and texting like teenagers.
Drives me batty. :blushing:
