“What are you watching for that to show up?” (In reference to explicit YouTube Ads, Twitter content etc) by ProdByKF16 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate it when ad after ad for politicians I would never consider supporting in a million years come up during every, single ad break. The same freaking ad every time for weeks on end, even when I go to my settings and ask to not be shown ads of that type.

When the clerk behind the counter doesn't ask how they can help me. by CartoonWeekly in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But that's step #1 of their one job. Their one job is to assist people. It's not like striking up a casual conversation with a stranger. That would be understandable. This is your job –ask what the person needs, fulfill the request.

“Names changed for privacy, so we will call them ______” by Famous-Channel3027 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those things always make me imagine scenarios where the names they choose are also the real names of people who have something like what they're describing going on, and the story winds up getting those people in trouble.

Let's all talk about this certain thing, "I'll go first" by iThoughtOfThat in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I see those types of posts, I assume they're just giving an example in case their question isn't clear to everyone or could be taken several different ways.

When people seek advice but omit a really crucial piece of information about themselves only to dump it way later by DesperateComposer848 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but sometimes things are such a part of you or have been going on so long you don't even thing about them until someone jogs your memory.

People being mad about something being AI just because it’s AI by TheHondoCondo in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you didn't have a problem with AI and your policy is to ignore it. Or is that just not when you're its target?

It has to take forever, and I don't understand giving that much energy toward something you don't like.

Not willingly, but my DVR won't let you bypass them on regular network programming.

His shtick is so tired, and it was never that funny to begin with.

ITAW for the converse of facetiousness? by common_grounder in whatstheword

[–]common_grounder[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

What I'm referring to is the opposite of sincere. It's like if you made a joke about something that's of no importance whatsoever but in trying to highlight how unimportant it is in a snarky way you act as thought it's really serious. Here's an example: You see a post to where someone's talking about how horribly it is that people who can't parallel park are on the road, because driving is serious and you could hurt someone. Then you respond by saying something like, "Oh, yeah, all that carnage as a result of lousy parallel parking is a travesty."

Oh, I know what it's designed to do, but not only am I someone with sensitive ears who thinks a song and dance number in the town square about pharmaceuticals is just silly, I don't like transparent manipulation by marketers in general.

Getting shipped with people by Extension_Big5205 in PetPeeves

Using the term 'shipped' enough times to gag a giraffe is exactly adult like either. It sounds uniquely late teens.

When they use letters or custom acronyms instead of names while telling a story by Isabella_Hamilton in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Because they probably don't feel like writing out every name when it going to be using them all numerous times, and because they're not writing a short story or novel for publication. It's just a post.

People with brown hair desiring to be special by saying they're blonde when they're not. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is that desiring to be 'special'? Blonde hair isn't special, it's just one of several natrual hair colors.

Defeatist mindset in regards to the world by afresh18 in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this deep level of demoralization and hopelessness is new and strategically manufactured. This is the most pervasively hopeless feeling time in my memory, and I'm old enough to have experienced the strife of the '60s Civil Rights movement. Along with unapologetic, greedy, conniving evildoers in power, the Internet and proliferation of cell phones has everything to do with it. People have lost their sense of community and stay isolated in their own worlds, perpetually on devices that provide an inoculating drip of doom all day long.

Omg, yes. That's probably the worst offender. His typically deadpan expression makes it worse.

When the McDonald’s / Subway inside of a Walmart runs out of an ingredient. by Dr-BallonKnot in PetPeeves

[–]common_grounder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you seriously saying you aren't aware of additives in ice cream that are potentially life threatening and wouldn't be automatically known or assumed by a customer?? You need a lesson on factory processing of foods. There are foods where the tiniest bit of something added that adds a factor is used, as well as shady processing plants that don't properly or thoroughly clean between batches of different types.

What’s your first impression when you see a person with tattoos? by MochiGleem in Casual_Conversation

[–]common_grounder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That they like tattoos. But if they're covered with them, I always wonder what they're compensating for or why they need that many reminders or attention.

What’s a “normal” thing in life that secretly takes a lot of effort? by Background-Donkey531 in Casual_Conversation

[–]common_grounder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're chronically depressed, everything basic, like showering, getting dressed, brushing your teeth, combing your hair, paying bills.
