Pet Peeves v. u mad?

I don't like it when people use LD50 figures to mark the limits of safe dosage. Would you play Russian roulette? The chance of death is only 12.5%. We should be talking about LD0.5s.

When people say "don't pass go, don't collect $200" in any context other than Monopoly.

YouTube ads being louder than YT content.

When people say "yes" at the beginning of a business call. When I answer the phone a lot at work, the first thing most people say is "ummm yes."
"Thanks for calling name of business."
"Umm yes, how late are you open?"

"Thanks for calling name of business."
"Umm yes, I was wondering if..."

And then the "mmmmmmmmmmmmm" before "bye."

"Thanks for calling."
"mmmmmmm bye."

When people lick their thumbs while counting money they are going to hand over. DISGUSTING.
 
people who think a plural needs an apostrophe.

people who think you can't be racist or bigoted if you belong to the group you're denigrating.

"i don't think her will do it"

"her got a real big bank account"

Recipes that depend crucially on seasoning mixes and other heavily pre-flavored products. Like, if I were to be using those things, I wouldn't need a recipe in the first place.

When you realize someone is taking a picture of you from a distance or from the side, trying to get one of those "they didn't even realize their picture was being taken" photos. Fuck off.

Those videos of people on salvia and 20 douchebags are going "hold it in for 10,000 seconds or it won't work; you'll be fine in a few minutes; hahahaha what are you doing, etc," while another douchebag films.
 
Well I find it disturbing when some stranger takes a pic of me off their cell phone, I have had enough of that shit till the point where I corner them and watch them delete photos of me. Yea that's how I roll.

It was just a tiny joke. "Biased" happens to be pronounced equivalently to "biast", so the error is an odd inverse of the one I described.

A 100%, why u gotta be condescending ? How would biased (the past tense of bias) apply to say:"when a current witness in a trial has bias". Biased in that context wouldn't be right.

that's correct use of the noun but it's not really what ebola's talking about...

and "biased" and "biast" surely sound exactly the same so i'm not sure what your point is, there?

^ it's funny (and not a little meta) how people discussing pet peeves can, in and of itself, be a pet peeve :)
