Re: Silly things you hate.
My dad is like that lol. He can't use my bathroom because I do the toilet paper under because if not my cats will unravel it all. Closing the door doesn't do anything because the oldest cat knows how to open it lol.Rhyela wrote:One thing that has always irked me is when people hang toilet paper "under" instead of "over", if that makes any sense. I can't stand it! Ack!
Another thing I really hate is when someone is always saying "you know what I mean?" I have no idea why, but it makes me want to slap that person so hard. My mom does it a lot.

Re: Silly things you hate.
I suppose it's because- why would you be saying something that isn't your honest opinion?

Re: Silly things you hate.
Huh, this is kind of a random comment, but I've always known it to stand for 'in my humble opinion'. I didn't know it could be 'honest' too, that changes the tone a bit!LupisDarkmoon wrote:"imo" and "imho" bug me, though I can't say why. I just get mildly ticked off every time I see a sentence beginning with "Imho".

Re: Silly things you hate.
...That is a brilliant analogy and that's exactly why I dislike the phrase! Why must you point out how honest or humble you're being?GormanGhaste wrote:I don't like "in my humble opinion" or "in my honest opinion". Either one makes me feel like seeing some roadside billboard advertising "clean restrooms": immediately makes me think the restrooms are in fact not clean, and the opinions neither honest nor humble.

Re: Silly things you hate.
it stands for "humble".LupisDarkmoon wrote:Huh, I always learned it as Honest! Humble vs. honest does change the tone a bit- and the tone is what always bugged me about it.
an opinion is "humble". it can't really be "honest". if so, you could have a dishonest opinion, which makes no logical sense.
The one that ticks me off is "in my personal opinion". Really? You have both a personal opinion and... what... a regurgitated opinion from someone else? ALL opinions are "personal".
/facepalm
Ugh, also people having "opinions" about facts!
You can't have an opinion about gravity.
You can't have an opinion about something that is quantitatively provable.
You can have an opinion about something abstract, or something that is purely a matter of taste.
In my opinion, some politicians views have evolved over time in regards to gender issues. But I don't have an "opinion" about evolution.
In my opinion, The Big Bang Theory is one of the better comedy shows on TV right now. But I don't have an opinion about the actual scientific theory called "the big bang theory".

Re: Silly things you hate.
It just makes me irrationally angry because it's a way of acting as though you're better than someone based on the silliest of things. Can you understand them? Then their grammar is fine. Linguistics values the cultural differences between grammar, it doesn't hold any above the others!
Part of why it makes me so angry is that I'm still training myself not to think that way.

Speaking of spelling...
If you want to have fun and start a flame war in /trade chat, simply write the following:
"Rouges are overpowdered" (or any variant including those words)
You'll be amazed at how few people actually take the time to READ.

Re: Silly things you hate.
Also, so-called "original" characters that are straight-up palette-swaps of existing characters. Woo orange Sonics and blue Pinkie Pies and stuff :/ Come on guys, at least give them different clothes/hairstyles or SOMETHING. (No offence meant to anyone here who has such an OC. It just doesn't feel "original" to me )

I hate seeing celebrities and suddenly realizing I'm old enough to be their father.
