Pet Peeves v. u mad?

1. Who said that you were the only one who lost the thread of discussion (I actually read back a few posts, and the commentary still doesn't seem particularly relevant to how people from different nations currently interact)?
2. If you followed your own advice, I'd have my answer too. ;)

People who confuse "your" and "you're."

You're= a contraction of the noun YOU and the verb ARE.

Your= an adjective denoting possession.

I also HATE how my black friends seem to find it more socially acceptable to write in txtspk ALWAYS (on facebook and in emails, particularly).

But people are often wont to establish shitty dichotomies that need be discarded.

edit: okay, I saw the thread, and it would be agonizingly difficult to elaborate "both" into an intelligent response.

Ya, there should be three answers:
1) A
2) B
3) I believe this to be a false dichotomy.

I think most false dichotomies have similar questions that are true either-or. "But smart is sexy!" "Would you rather first make it into Mensa or playboy?"
 
Unexpected company/drop-ins.

It is not difficult to call or text me and ask if you can come to my house or my office before taking it upon yourself to so do. If a person asks first, it's almost always fine, and if it is a bad time I tell them why. If a person does not ask, though, I feel violated.

I was rudely interrupted at inconvenient times three times today in this manner, once at work and twice at home. I like to spend time with my family/friends. I also have a schedule, and I expect people to contact me before coming to visit. How is this so hard? R-A-G-E !

And it just happened again. Same visitor. He was "in the neighborhood" and saw my housemate's and my cars. We are both working from home today. He likes our shower because we have central air. The culprit is my housemate's ex with whom she is still friends. I don't set limits on behalf of others. I've asked my housemate to have a word with him about this. She's more calm about this sort of thing than I am.
 
Women on their period who don't wipe the blood off the toilet seat...seriously not cool when you have to use a public restroom.
 
Fine, Internet, I give up: "ya", "yea", and "yeah" should all somehow be pronounced the same way and mean the same thing. There should be no good way to transcribe a colloquially truncated "you" (as found in "good on ya, mate"), and the opposite of "nay" will be a cheer of "yay" instead of a real word.

:/

really annoying when people knock on my door only to try to tell me something through the door after i tell them to come in

ugh
i don't get that
i ask who it is
i have this like fucking 1940s ringing bell turning shit on my door instead of a peep hole
and if they don't anounce who they are
no fuckin way
no my door is not open to you
yes you state why you are here and who you are and what the situation is
 
"Celebrities" who make sex tapes, release them to the media, then claim that someone else did it. Fucking lame as shit.
 
People who call/text you to hang out and then ask what you wanna do. It's like, you fucking called me dumb ass.. shouldn't you have thought of that before hand?

And people like that, whenever you throw out an idea, it's always "Whatever you wanna do."

It's infuriating.
 
i hate applying for jobs. if you require me to have a resume and cover letter, why do i need to type the same stuff out on multiple pages of online forms? it gets really tedious. not to mention requiring separate applications for each job, even if they are similar. i know places only have one HR department and no one is going to read 20 some pages of the same thing again and again.

this seems to mainly be an issue when applying for jobs in school districts and the like. friends in other professions don't seem to work for form loving corporations. a local district required that i apply to each elementary school separately even tho the position is exactly the same at all the schools.
