Pet peeve

Trying to start a conversation here. 

So, what's your pet peeve about TK?  Mine is that people use the term invite as a nount.  No, invite is a verb.  Invitation is a noun.  In order to invite someon to your wedding, you must send them an invitation.  

This also happens at work, too.  Drives me nuts.

    People who don't read.  Either the banner at the top of a board, the stickies that give you some insight into how things work, or more frequently -- the points of the post.  The OP will clearly say, I know that the milk comes from cows, but I am wondering how it gets from the store to your house.  And two people chime in with, milk comes from cows.  Then two more people only read their response, and add, well, sometimes from goats.  Then two more people debate whether the OP is absolutely stupid for not knowing this.  Then two more people will argue that milk should be labelled goatsmilk if it comes from goats.  And then the breast feeding police show up and start a riot.  I imagine the OP just sitting there, shaking her head, thinking, I just wanted to know if you keep a cooler in your car. ~Donna

    And don't forget all the vegans - milk is from Soy, Almond or Rice thank you!  Wink

    I have 2 pet peeves:

    1. when I try to jump into some of the discussions on the 'big' boards like E or SB - adding a truly different perspective than anyone else has said - and it is just completely ignored.  And it isn't when it is just my posts - I've noticed this when others try to play devils advocate or offer perspective from the other side and it is just glossed as though no one said anything thought provoking.

    2. resurrection of dead threads just to stir the pot some more.

    The following types of posts annoy the sh*t out of me:
    -"My wedding party isn't helping me!"
    -"Nobody's offered to throw me a shower!"
    -"My shower is in two weeks and nobody's bought any gifts!"
    -"So and so did this...I feel like my wedding isn't even about me anymore!"

    I want to launch a full out verbal assault on people who write crap like this.

    1.  When people ask a question that was JUST ADDRESSED in a post two down from theirs.  Seriously people.  Read, then ask.  

    2.  When people make NO ATTEMPT at punctuation, capitalization, grammar, etc.  We all make mistakes and make typos or misspell things, and that's okay.  But people who write 500 words of run-on sentance with no capitalization or commas or anything?  Completely unreadable.  Headache.

    3.  People who don't thank others for their help.  A lot of people put a lot of thought and time into answering questions thoroughly and thoughtfully, and often they don't get so much as a "thanks for your help!"

    Scarlet and Avion - great points, both of you.  

    I think another thing that frosts my cupcakes is when a poster poses a dilemma, asks for opinions and/or suggests the path she wants to take and asks for advice or input.  Many people have many opinions.  Isn't that kind of the point of posting on a message board?  To get varied opinions?  And then WHAMMO!  Somebody responds negatively, critically, whatever.  And the OP suddenly is attached to her idea/ solution as if it were carved into her abdomen and she would have to slice herself in half to change it. And she's defensive, angry, hurt and incensed at the responses. 

    Oh puh-lease.  Would you rather have a bunch of strangers bashing your idea to your face?  Or your loved ones behind your back?  Would you rather I think you are tacky?  Or your DH's favorite aunt?  Do you want ME (who you will never see again) to tell you your skirt is tucked into your underwear, or your boss?  For real.  ~Donna

    Exclamation points everywhere.  Not every thought you think should end with exclamation point.  It's not really that exciting.

    Oh my god! What should I do! I am getting married to my best friend!!! Will anyone think it's weird that I'm getting married again! Oh my! It's so happening! He proposed!!!
