 Re: Pet Peeves
Generally hate it when people address themselves/ are addressed with their middle name as a letter, "Stephen A. (Smith)", "Steven C. (Miller)" are two that come to mind.

 Re: Pet Peeves
lol. And I have no idea why some people choose to do this. Is it to differentiate between a father that has the same name? I never see a female write their name in this way.

 Re: Pet Peeves
Saying Congrats on someone's birthday. You're basically saying "Hey you're alive!" and it diminishes the birthday because you can say that any day. Just say Happy Birthday!

 Re: Pet Peeves
Isn't "happy birthday" also essentially saying "you've lived to reach this age, well done", which is basically saying "hey you're alive!"? I think any form of greeting on someone's birthday is silly, yet I still do it because it's what people do and I can't be assed with the kerfuffle of not.

 Re: Pet Peeves
No. Happy Birthday is a recognition and a celebration of your birth.
Congratulations are for weddings, job promotions, or any kind of positive advancement in your life. As you get older so many birthdays are meaningless just like any other day. It's not worth a congrats.. Maybe the one when you can go to a bar, or you got your driving license but that is it.
Would you say Congrats to a guy at his wake? Of course not. And we can add the assholes that say Happy Death Day for their family too. Way too Morbid for me.

 Re: Pet Peeves
Very true. But there is a term created for it. So get over that, no one ever has to wish me a happy birthday. Certainly not congratulate me.
Moving on. People who put milk in first, then add cereal. Fucking Moronic.
Also hate people that say "This is the definitive way" to cook something. No it fucking isn't. I'm looking at you Gordon Ramsay.

 Re: Pet Peeves
When people use an abbreviation then proceed to tell us what said abbreviation means. One or the other, people!

 Re: Pet Peeves
American sports are all about making up new acronyms for stats then proceeding to explain what they mean. Do you have WAR, wins above replacement, in soccer?

 Re: Pet Peeves
A total turn off for me re: girls, apart from just the modern girl in general being quite repulsive, is...fake nails. I see those and it's a total no. Not that I'm searching for a girl, but I even just don't want to even ackownledge them if I see fake nails. Girls these days are just 100% fake. They're all fucking orange with fake nails and leggings right up their crack. It's disgusting. I'm not advocating for them to be indoors with an apron on, but there's surely a happy medium. Well, I guess the happy medium was 2004. Nothing ever goes backwards. By 2030 they'll be walking around naked, which ironically is backwards! Oh, and girls wearing trainers (sneakers) when not at the gym.

 Re: Pet Peeves
No problem with trainers (sneakers) on a girl...but in regards to the main topic of the post, yeah, hate fake nails.

 Re: Pet Peeves
People that use "literally" incorrectly. I would like to say it's just dumb people, but it honestly feels like most people these days.
Dumb people from one generation started using it incorrectly, and newer generations just picked it up and now do not know the difference. It's sad. It's not evolution of language either, it's just people saying the wrong word en masse. It's good for smart people, though, for spotting the people to avoid.
Oh, and black people that can't say "ask". That one is LITERALLY an exclusively black problem. They say "acks", but nobody can challenge them on it because they will say it's how people from their culture say it. Even people that were born and raised in London, lol. Simply, it's morons being raised by morons. Getting stuff wrong and being too ignorant to accept it, change, and grow.
