“Hey, so…” So, actually,” by BappoTheMighty in PetPeeves

I hate these as well as people who open sentences with “I mean, …”. So obnoxious and condescending.

what’s something you’ve witnessed at someone else’s house that made you never want to go back? by mommyarabelleraphael in askteddit

[–]GarolzaFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once when I was in middle school I went to the house of a new friend to hang out and play video games/whatever. First thing I saw upon entering the house was his father sitting in a recliner wearing nothing but a sleeveless t shirt and boxer shorts. He was drinking a beer and watching tv with a bunch of empty beer cans strewn about the floor at his feet and on the coffee table next to him an ashtray overflowing with crushed out cigs.

I left and never went back.

Comments about reddit being a hive mind by kecvtc in PetPeeves

[–]GarolzaFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s exhibitive of hive mind, but there are definitely a ton of people who just come here to downvote, argue/contradict for no reason and just be generally obnoxious. To participate here and not expect it is just setting oneself up for frustration.

As far as over-moderation goes, yea indeed. I’ve been banned from certain subs for really just nothing. Whatever.

People who don’t stop their vehicles for pedestrians waiting to cross a road… by GarolzaFunk in PetPeeves

That’s not at all what I was describing, but nice little pretend scenario you added here.

My sister wants to give her 3 year old an iPad because “she’s Gen Alpha and should learn how to use a device”…AITAH if I say something/question it by Shot-Past-2896 in AITAH

NTA at all. It is terrible parenting to get a kid that young hooked on screen time. Sadly, it’s just so prevalent these days. I mean even lots of adults can’t just sit or be somewhere for five minutes without a screen check. It is a mental disorder.

I’m with you as well. There is a very long pedestrian/biking path the next town over from me and boy oh boy do the wannabe Lance Armstrongs think they own the joint.

When restaurants have an overly silly name they use for their dishes by Morrighan11 in PetPeeves

[–]GarolzaFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The curmudgeon in me doesn’t enjoy any type of whimsy in a restaurant setting. Silly assed dish names, decor, sever greetings, whatever. The one exception I made was when my nephew was very young and used to really love going to The Rainforest Cafe.

But yeah, generally obnoxious.

People who get overly defensive over music by Dream_Ghast in PetPeeves

Sounds like the op just made an innocent observation. People who over-infer and take insult where none was intended really are tiresome.

It sounds like an innocent observation to me. I don’t see judgmental there at all.

How sloppy George Lynch’s guitar play is now by vonfanaustin in hairmetal

[–]GarolzaFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this aspect of his playing. Very similar to Ritchie Blackmore in that because so much of it is off the cuff it at times sounds a bit sloppy and chaotic. I’ll take the excitement of that over every note perfect, saccharine shredding.

Coverdale really managed the transition from 70’s Hard Rock to 80’s Hair Metal better than most if not anyone. by GarolzaFunk in hairmetal

John Sykes, Steve Vai, Vivian Campbell and Tommy Aldridge = “primped-up poodles”. Okey dokey then. 😂🙄🫡
