Well, it's probably more honest, if unintentionally so.

You guys would hate it up here in Canada then. "I'm Sorry" is about as common as "Hello" and is applied to a pretty wide range of uses.





Anyway, getting hung up on the form of something over it's substance is a Pet Peeve of mine. This isn't directed at you in particular Mal, so I hope you won't take this personally (it's pretty clear you don't actually let any of that minor anger out, it's just an internal pissed-offedness, and we all have those moments). It's that kind of stuff that contributes towards keeping people separated into nasty, splintered, balkanized tribes. It creates arguments or bad feelings out of situations where people weren't antagonizing each other and were in fact on good terms, which seems tragic to me.

It's really a little thing in the grander scheme, but it does annoy me. If someone is genuinely thankful and the other person is magnanimous I'd rather those emotions just be shared for what they are without the recipient getting hung up on the wrapping the gift came in.

"Can you please cascade this information to your team?"

Ridiculous business jargon annoys me already, but that particular phrase...

I am super fucking sick and tired of reading financial advice that is directed at some kind of platonic ideal middle class boomer.

I am also super fucking sick of people who own houses and cars telling me money isn't important and that I should become a blogger.

Are you fucking kidding me. FUCK OFF.

Three times in three days has my mother called me and described in moderate detail how her bowel movements went. I jokingly call it "the daily fecal report"; she laughs, I don't.

Still a step up from
Dang but I could do without my mother calling me in the middle of the night to tell me how her latest booty call went.
of course, but by the narrowest margin.

...what the

dangit

...

Welp, make that four times in three days.

I think she's having a gastroenteritis and the only way she can avoid feeling guilty about calling in sick to work is by making sure I agree with her that it is pretty bad. Which apparently I am unqualified to do unless I know the texture of her poop.

Oy.

When you Google a question, and the first response is a sarcastic "Did you try Google?"

p { margin: 0; }

Do you know what a fucking paragraph IS?

Because if you remove its margins, IT IS NO LONGER A FUCKING PARAGRAPH.

Need a block-level element with no margin?  USE A FUCKING DIV.  THAT'S WHAT A DIV IS.

People who use a delayed text based medium (forums, texting) as if they were having a real-time conversation, not giving the information of what they mean until you go around a few circles first.  Prompted by Lyrai for her posts in the Steam thread about some mysterious bundle she didn't get, but my sister is the absolute worst about this, requiring three or four texts before she will tell me why she is texting me in the first place.   "Are you at home?"  "Are you busy?" don't need to both be asked if you need a favor, just one text "If you're at home and not busy, I ___________".

Additionally, people who continue to do these things after you explain it to them.  SISTER.

In Lyrai's case, I just assumed she didn't name the game because she doesn't want to be seen as begging us to buy it for her.

I can't tell if I would be more offended that someone thought the boards would buy them something because they missed a sale or that someone described me as having any fear of that kind of uncalled-for generosity being bestowed upon me.

I'm glad that neither of these things has happened to me to date.

There was a thing in #ff a while back where someone spent a solid week saying how great it'd be if someone would buy them a specific game or something for their birthday. They would but they're so poor. It was the height of absolute obnoxiousness.

Anyway I figured it was just common courtesy, you know? Just grousing about missing a sale and waiting until the next sale, not passive-aggressively whinging and begging for it.

The testers around here all studiously observe the "pee in reverence like monks" rule, but the developers tend to flagrantly disregard it.  It's one of the times I'm actually glad to be on this side of the wall.
