What annoys you?

[mamatojon]

I am annoyed by this: People Who Type Their Posts Like This And Refuse To Use Any Punctuation At All Thus Making It Very Very Difficult To Read Their Sentences And I Am Realizing That It Is Very Difficult To Type This Way So Maybe These People Have Some Program That Makes Every Single First Letter Capital Automatically

Why does this bother me so much? I swear I want to PM these people every time I see it. FWIW, it is on another board that I frequent, but I've seen it on the DIS too and I'm always just so - what the heck?

I am also annoyed by people who drive on sidewalks. They are sidewalks, not sidedrives-because-you-didn't-want-to-wait-in-lines.

I am annoyed by my children right now because they are running in circles around the center of the house and annoyed with myself for lacking the foresight to see that when we bought this house with a lovely open floorplan that this would be absolutely delightful to them.

I am annoyed that I am annoyed and I am annoyed that everyone here is sick and I am annoyed that it is only Wednesday and - oh another one - tomorrow is garbage day which means I need to get my shoes and coat on and go put the garbage can to the curb.

And I have a headache .

But I feel better now - very therapuetic. Have anything you'd like to get off your chest?

There Was A Thread About This The Other Day. When You Type In All Caps, The Dis Changes It To Capitalizing The First Letter Only.

It didn't work for me.

wow i must really annoy you
i never use , . ! ?
and i never do spell check
i had to write what annoys me I would be here allnight

 

[Cool-Beans]

i know what you mean i only read about one to two lines if there is no punctuation i just stop it drives me crazy and when people read those kinds of posts by other don't they get confused themselves. you would think that they would figure out how hard it is to read. but no they don't i don't get it and they always put a period in where it doesn't belong when they bother to put one in at all.

Seriously, if the post is funky, I just skip it. I can read almost anything if it isn't one massive paragraph, though. Those drive me batty.

 

[twinklebug]

Done.

I was going to edit that!!! (wanted to add bullets)

nope, actually I can read your message very easily, maybe it is the line breaks? I'm actually not annoyed by spelling, probably because I'm always making spelling errors.

I'd be here all night too, I think I'm annoyed way too much these days. (checking calendar.... nope that isn't it, LOL)

Ditto on all of that, except the punctuation. I'm always comma happy!

I've made comments about grammar nazis on here before. Never noticed that tag either. Did I make any errors in this post?

That would be me recently. My left blinker is staying on and if I have the radio up (usually) I don't notice it. My car lets me know if I go a mile with my blinker on. I found out the hard way. It's dangerous, so I try to be aware of it. My DH just hasn't gotten around to fixing the stupid thing.

I also get annoyed by people who don't use their turn signal at all.

Don't go to IKEA, after buying it you'll be annoyed having to put it together.

Thanks! I haven't completely lost my mind, I am not buying anything that DH would have to put together, I want it up by Christmas!

That is cool! What will they think of next. Your new-fangled car reminds me of another annoyance though, my 97 Mercury minivan. I'm annoyed that I have to drive it, LOL.
