One of my biggest pet peeves is people using the phrase "I could care less." Which means they still care some. The actual phrase is, "I couldn't care less."
Same here. If I anger someone, please contact me off forum as well, it's not my intention.

this post was not meant in humor or sarcasm.
Barney, I agree. I hate that.

Wlonh: Yes. I hate censorship too. And the fact that you dont have an email address registered, and considering you've posted lots of **** about me, I couldnt get in contact with you about, and anything I said was deleted (by you).

Hrm THAT was pretty annoying..... grrr...

Ca$h

PS: Register an email address PLEASE, that way I COULD contact you if you angered me, or vice versa.
My pet peeve is people who come into this forum and have nothing useful or productive to say, they just make wise cracks and stuff then leave.

Oh wait, thats me.
hehehe. You're sarcastic. I like you.

Not in that way though.

Ca$h
If I were to have a pet peeve, a good candidate would be threads that are locked down for no apparent reason.

Gregg,
The word association thread was a (fun) waste of server space. wlonh has every right to lock/delete the thread; even garrettnelson stated, "Wlonh, if you think this is a massive waste of server space (which it is ) feel free to delete it."

I can lay claim to the 455th and final post, though!
my pet peeve is when people finish using a program, then close the window but do not quit the application, and then leave the computer like this for someone else to come and start yet another program and do the same thing until all the apps on the computer are running , and something happens and then i got to fix it, and they say "hey, what's wrong with this thing?" ... or they double on a program that is already running, with no window open and they think nothing is happening.
Bockie, thanks for the explanation. That was considerate of you. I hope it didn't take up too much of your time.

Gregg
LOL pedantics, i swear... LOL

pffffffft
My pet peeve: People posting factually inaccurate or downright wrong answers to people's questions on the fora. The DV forum is hilariously full of that crap!
My pet peeve is teenagers who act like growning up is so tough and that lives are so hard to manage with the peer pressure and crap. Thats a load of ******** , I mean as a teen I got great grades and worked my ass off and got a nice BMW and impressed girls with my success and ambition and I partied all the time everything was great. Everyone in school liked me, from jock to goth to nerd to preppy; i had great times with quite a diverse set of best buddies.

What the hell is so hard?
Anthony: I dont really get it either... but here's one guess. Turn on your hip hop station.. CRAP! And whats more? Rap music. Yeah, lets sing about raping women, because that makes me a hardass.

Sorry. No. You sing about raping girls around me, it makes you a dumbass, then a dead-ass.

Grrrr.... If only I had Eminem alone in a room. With my bat. >

Ca$h
In order from worst pet peeve for me

1. someone snapping gum for hours on end in the office!

2. someone talking on the cell phone in traffic, not paying attention, weaving - then getting mad at me for their idiotic driving!

3. someone who thinks porn is "healthy" and isn't a problem - but then avoids any further discussion when it might be his or her daughter that is being victimized.
1. School
2. School
3. School
4. Losing the Bledisloe Cup again!
5. When my G/F is in a bad (and usually anti-computer, especially anti-mac ) mood.
My pet peave is being peaved by one of my pet peaves, one of which is being peaved another of which is peaves in general as they tend to be pifflingly little things that are not worth getting peaved about.
Remember an iMac is not just for christmas, it's for life.
(well it might be if it was more upgradable).
My pet peave is being peaved, especially by pet peaves, one of which is being peaved by my pet peaves.

Remember an iMac is not just for Christmas, it should be foe life;
Although it's probably only good for the next six-to twelve months really (thanx to it's amazing upgradabilty & resultant futureproofing, still luv mine though) and then I guess you might as well put it in a brown paper bag and drown it in a local canal or river.
As I do with all Mammals I find in my Christmas stocking, although I have & would never waste the life of an endangered animal I have received for Christmas, I have to draw the line there, I have in fact never killed an unwanted Xmas gift that happened to be an endangered species; for no reason; I have always made good use of their fur &
eaten what's left over rest (I had a tasty last Christmas & I remember fondly that tasty Dodo I ate for Christmas as a child, although I've never been able to find one since, unfortunately.

BTW one of my real pet peaves is people who don't understand when people are just being polite, although these usually do not understand how to be polite themselves, so I'm not going to lose any sleep over it!
politely teasing a former MacNN'er of the day (roders): what is that word you used so liberally, 'peaves'? not familiar with it...

oh, you mean 'peeves'...

Right, I'm politely pEEved off now, actually I think I'll add that to my list of pet pEEve's, That being pEEved by Wlonh about not spelling pEEving pEEved properly,
along with not being able to go out to dinner and order a nice barbecued dog or a stir-fried cat, & I'm supposed to be living in a sophisticated, open minded liberal society (where literacy is taken for granted.)
By the way I am dyslexic (one of the reason's that my typing and spelling is so bad), actually one of the reason's I got my iMac was to do dissertations for Uni on, as writing out essays was a nightmare, but this is not the reason I spelt peeved incorrectly, I'm just a dumbass, as you yanks (fond English term for American's, no offence intended!) Might/not say.
+ I've got to say it's not a word I come across or use much, I certainly don't ever remember being taught to spell it, if only I had known when I was a child at school I could of avoided this humiliation, god knows I get enough on-line in Q3.
P.S does anyone know if I'll ever be capable of a short post?
I've just made this one even longer with that last remark haven't I, Doh!
P.P.S I've got to get back to Dues-EX now, by the way if anyone's having problems with the framerate outdoors (you should be walking & crouching slowly anyway really) all you hat to do is alter some of the Graphics & Rave settings in the Dues-EX ini file.
