Pet Peeves v. u mad?

ebola? said:
"Noids" as a term for "synthetic cannabinoids"...so bad...it's the morphological unit that means "is in the diffuse category of", not the part of the word that specifies what the thing is. An analogy would be if we called spiders like creatures ("arachnoids") "noids".

I could not figure out for the life of me wtf that meant

lame drugs = lame nicknames I guess

Pet peeve: When people continually contradict others in a vain attempt to seem more intelligent.

unless you were told so by the source, how do you know the motive behind anyone's contradiction?

/vain attempt to seem more intelligent

fwiw the only reason i might try and change anybody's attitude or idea about anything, is simply to educate

i don't even care if they tell anyone else that it was me who taught them, i don't want anything in return, unless requested

My pet-peeve is people dissecting peeves to the enth degree in the pet-peeve thread.

In other words, instead of taking issue with someone else's pet peeve, just stick to posting your own.
 
seems like most people are afraid to call me out on anything

ever think i don't want to be/realize that i'm being 'that guy'?

if whatever i'm told makes sense, i'm more than likely going to change and say thank you
 
pet peeve : people taking the pet peeve thread way too seriously

oh wait this is Second Opinion, the serious forum for trivial shit
 
When people use "IMHO" in their posts, because they really don't mean it...they're just trying to appear open-minded and likeable. Most of the time, these people are complete narcissists who actually believe that their contributions are better than everyone else's.

like mello yello. it was there once upon a time, disappeared for a long span, momentarily you are happy to see it return, albeit question for how long youll appreciate it being back.

i view it as more a social fad than anything to be taken too seriously, imho of course.

my pet peeve is people who believe they know people's motivations for posting when, in fact, they don't and they're just making assumptions and jumping to erroneous conclusions.

happy now?

:)

this thread is for discussing pet peeves. if you only want to post your pet peeves in a big list and do not want them discussed, then perhaps a blog is a better place for your peeves?

Interestingly enough, your pet peeve seems to describe you quite well. Oh, the irony. ;)

Yes, I'm quite happy now. Thanks for asking. %)

i notice that you chose to avoid the issue even when it didn't come from me (china rider's post).

perhaps you're just annoyed with me as you see something you dislike about yourself in my posts? that's quite common online. but, of course, i don't know - like you, i'm just assuming. :)
