Stupid Pet Peeves

[moevillini]

Wow, why?

ha ha, sort of kidding... but see post #4596

sometimes a picture IS worth a thousand words, but sometimes 10-15 words are better than a picture!

:wink:

When people who do reviews use the 5-star scale as a Yes or No, either 5 stars or 1 or 2.

5 and 1 should be your LEAST common scores given. 5 is for something that is truly special and stands out, 1 is for something that is particularly awful. 3 should represent "good", 4 is "very good", 2 is "bad" and/or "disappointing".

80%-90% of things should fall into 2-3-4 star ratings. If you do reviews and this is not true for you you're doing it wrong.

To add a little to this...

When someone writes a 1-star review and says "I'm only giving this one star because zero stars isn't an option."

Well yeah, it's a 1-5 scale. You gave them the lowest score, we get it, you didn't like it.

It's not like if no stars was an option you'd leave a 1 star and say, "yeah, they had their faults, but they weren't that bad"

I can't stand low ratings on products because they didn't like something not related to the product.

"I'm giving this 2 stars because I was supposed to receive it in 2 days but it took a week. Then when I contacted Amazon they hm said it was delayed again. That sucks! Oh yeah, the personal massager worked fine."

My dog is still part of the reason.
But really there are just way more cons than pros.

Pros: they look cool
Cons: loud, dangerous, expensive, pollute the air, leave garbage all over the ground, keep me awake when I need to work early the next day, start fires, terrify my dog. To name a few.

I was just having this discussion with a friend. How many years in the future will it be before we realize that this is causing much more harm than good, and then are willing to do something about it? Probably about the time that people in Utah will realize that lush green lawns do not make sense in a desert.

I'm not super huge on lawn care...

So here's a pet peeve.

I'm cleaning out my car the other day and a guy, older than me, stops and says "hi" to me. I stop and say hi and ask if he's having a good day. He says he is, asks about my day, I tell him I'm doing well, and then... He asks me if I need any help with my lawn. I'm like "no, I'm good" and I start to turn around. He says, "Are you sure? If you need help I could mow your lawn." I turned around and said, "I've got it, thank you."

Okay, so the guy might as well have been suggesting that he could come over and have sex with my wife. Touch my ****ing yard and that'll be the last thing you touch.

Who the **** is so worried about the 5th worst yard in on the street that they even consider saying something like that?

I'm ready for the responses.

I think he's a swinger, got photos of your wife so I can qualify my opinion?

If he's a swinger he's swinging low, real low.

Gonna need a pic of it.

Twice a summer.

Don't worry, I stop watering so it won't get too high.

I don't give a **** about yards/lawns.
My wife does though so I end up spending a lot of time and money on the lawn

Wow. Hope your wife never gets on Jazzfanz.

gotta get this posted while it's on my mind - I've had this stupid pet peeve bottled up inside my brain for at least two weeks now...

oversized toilet paper rolls - I've been buying Costco's brand - the toilet paper is just fine and dandy, but when a new roll is put in the holder, it is too overstuffed to properly roll - - and no matter how slowly and carefully you try to get a few sheets, it tears at the first perforation and you just get one sheet at a time - - it doesn't roll easily until about 1/4 of the roll is gone.

yes, it's annoying.

and on a related note - I just had to buy some facial tissues (a/k/a kleenex) and I thought all the boxes they had seemed larger than those I had been buying - and they are - 160 tissues per box rather than 120 tissues, and the new box doesn't fit in my tissue holder.

I am having issues...

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. I don't buy oversized rolls any more for exactly that reason.

and an update, Charmin now has SUPER HUGE rolls that they say will last a month... the Charmin Forever Roll OMG

edited to add: It's a Tissue Issue.

I like a green lawn so I water the piss out of it and fertilize it. I hate mowing the lawn so I have kids. Now I get to enjoy laying in cool green grass after a long hot day at work without the pain of mowing it.
