Quintus 6,309 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ah, the obligatory takeaway "stingemaster", as me and me mates call them. That one member of staff who serves up smaller portions than normal as if they're paying for it out of their own pocket.
Incanus 5,889 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Oh I detest the wrong pronounciation of Latin. People can be such boors.Although the Erasmian prounounciation is probably somewhat wrong in itself when it comes to Latin or Greek. But hey you have to have some kind of unified standard after which you can pass judgement on others.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Ah, the obligatory takeaway "stingemaster", as me and me mates call them. That one member of staff who serves up smaller portions than normal as if they're paying for it out of their own pocket.I had this situation not too long ago. Ordering pizza for the team and the manager tells me to find someplace cheaper as if the company isn't paying for it.

Marian Schedenig 11,594 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Oh I detest the wrong pronounciation of Latin. People can be such boors. Reminds me of another one: Incorrect pluralisation of Latin loan words.

Glóin the Dark 1,841 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I can do that for you, if you want.I certainly don't doubt that you have the requisite ruthlessness.
Jill Sandwich 11,012 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Those public service announcements on Facebook that end with a guilt tripping line that says "most of you probably won't share this image, but if you care, you will".Why not just let the image or PSA speak for itself and let others decide whether it's worth a share on their "timeline" without the psychological manipulation?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,158 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Not a fan of the spray tan?
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 That's a good place to start, yeah.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,158 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Any other objections?
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Static electricity. Apparently I'm a walking discharging battery today. I zap everything today often before I actually touch.
Wojo 2,458 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I usually make a point to ground myself on the door before reaching for the knob or handle, to minimize static discharge. Dry winter air seems to make it worse.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,158 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Pretend you have Force Lightning, Joe."So be it......Jedi!" ZAAAAPPPP!!!
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Any other objections?Spray tans, stupid faces, horribly overdone makeup... she embodies it all.
JoeinAR 1,957 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Any other objections?Spray tans, stupid faces, horribly overdone makeup... she embodies it all.Well she's a skank so....Wojo I do not even have to touch. The door frame to my office is metal and I can be 6 inches away and it arcs across to zap me.The other day when I got home from work Frances my Aussie came to great me. I blue spark jumped from her nose to my lips. She yelped and I fell backwards. Ouch
Marian Schedenig 11,594 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Jerry (the cat) tends to get electrostatic. When he treads on a blanket for a while, I can actually make flashes in the dark by touching him.
nightscape94 968 Posted February 1, 2014 Author Posted February 1, 2014 Listening to music with headphones on and you visit a website that has a video advertisement that plays automatically."Yeah, your car insurance jingle fits in really well with my string quartet. Congratulations, now I hate your company even more."
Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,262 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 The best is condom commercials during Bach cantatas.
Richard P 5,234 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Any eating/drinking establishment which only serves Pepsi, and not Coke. Whyyyyyyyyyy?Misuse of apostrophes (or lack of) drives me up the wall, especially in a professional context.Listening to music with headphones on and you visit a website that has a video advertisement that plays automatically."Yeah, your car insurance jingle fits in really well with my string quartet. Congratulations, now I hate your company even more."This.If your website's main reason for existence is not to play videos, then you should never, ever, ever allow anything to auto-play.
Trent B 354 Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Listening to music with headphones on and you visit a website that has a video advertisement that plays automatically."Yeah, your car insurance jingle fits in really well with my string quartet. Congratulations, now I hate your company even more."I hate that too... it's highly annoying. I hate the mobile version of Youtube because it plays commercials right before a video where on the pc version I've got that blocked.
Sweeping Strings 3,378 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Doctor Who fangirls who are now 'done with the show' because Peter Capaldi is 'too old, EWWW' and they can't get all wet-knickered over him the same way they did over David Tennant and Matt Smith.The Tardis doors are over there, you dumb shallow bitches ... don't let them hit you in the ass on your way out, now. God knows how you'd have coped in the 'classic' years when the only remotely 'pretty' Doctor was Peter Davison. Sharkissimo and Naïve Old Fart 1 1

God knows how you'd have coped in the 'classic' years when the only remotely 'pretty' Doctor was Peter Davison.Wasnt Tom Baker a bit of a looker? In that rough 1970's man's man way?
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Doctor Who fangirls who are now 'done with the show' because Peter Capaldi is 'too old, EWWW' and they can't get all wet-knickered over him the same way they did over David Tennant and Matt Smith.The Tardis doors are over there, you dumb shallow bitches ... don't let them hit you in the ass on your way out, now. God knows how you'd have coped in the 'classic' years when the only remotely 'pretty' Doctor was Peter Davison.Bloody well said Blunters. I fear I'm no big Dr Who fan but the nail has been hit firmly on the head. A vaguely similar peeve (or just a peeve) was the pre-Sherlock hype this year with these fangirly types and the slashy Sherjohn or whatever it was coined. And this "will he come back" or "he can't die!"...fail to see the point Sherlock is based on these books written eons ago where...quelle surprise, Holmes did return. Oh for those halycon Brett days.(a pet peeve of late is the lack of an 'excuse me' and often 'thank you' when at work by idiot customers who just address you when your back's turned. Or simple lack of manners).As you were. Sweeping Strings 1
Jay 45,780 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I'm sorry, but what are you talking about? At the end of the series 2 finale, we the viewer already saw that Sherlock survived. The only question was how he did it, and how would John react when he found out he was alive. Not if he was alive or not - that was always known.
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 The way some girls carried on, some of what was said in quarters, suggested they believed he might not ever come back.Still, I tried not to immerse myself in such fantasies for long.
Quintus 6,309 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Capaldi is gonna devour the role.Stupidly hormonal female fans won't know what the fuck is happening to their menstrual cycles. Sharkissimo and Trent B 2
Sweeping Strings 3,378 Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Can't get the bloody quote thing to work at all, so - To Stefancos ... not sure about that, but Baker's autobiography does confirm that playing the Doctor got him his fair share of 'action' all right. And cheers, Hilly/Strangways.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah the quoting system used to be perfect but now it's a mess.
Quintus 6,309 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 There's more reasons/obstacles not to post these days than there are reasons to post, I'm finding. Not to mention the really friggin annoying keyboard lag I've been enduring since the last board update. But whatever.
Quintus 6,309 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Every browser I try and every brand of keyboard intermittently lags on this forum for me. Doesn't happen on another forum I visit.
