What small and stupid thing has recently gotten your goat?
Mine would be spell checks that never give you the right suggestion for what you want even though you only barely misspelled something.

Nanny filter again. I've just posted a sentence containing the mildly pompous words victors and vanquished. My original choices were winners and 10sers, but the word commonly used to mean the opposite of winners is rejected as chatspeak/profanity. Reply #82. Nov 24 07, 2:25 PM |

People who are simply too lazy to even ATTEMPT spelling things in a post that are legible and "chatspeak" that is used ALL the time. Sorry if I offend any of you who do this, but it really irritates me when I am going through and reading posts. I don't care if you are not considered an 'adult' in life yet. I'm sure you don't get away with this in school when you have to write a paper or an essay. Why not practice your writing and spelling skills while you are on this site. After all, it's not like an Instant Messaging format here. Sandy Reply #86. Nov 25 07, 12:15 PM |

I should add that I am NOT referring to the use of "lol" or "IMO", etc. in or at the end of a post. We all do that, just not through the entire thing. Reply #87. Nov 25 07, 12:18 PM |

milky54 - are they the people who misinterpret other people's posts, and then accuse everyone else of misunderstanding them? Or insult other posters and then complain they're being picked on? I agree! Reply #89. Nov 26 07, 7:35 PM |

That you have to have a gold membership to do so many things. Question: Can you even get a crossword badge if you have a regular membership? Then, if so, how can you find out how close you are? Reply #90. Nov 27 07, 10:06 AM |

Misspelling a word that doesn't give any suggestions to do. Everyone can agree with me when this happens when making a quiz. Reply #91. Dec 01 07, 10:22 AM |

my only gripe is with the fill in the blank on quizzes. if spelling is not your forte (mine certainly isnt) it can be annoying if you have the right answer but spelt it wrong Reply #93. Dec 01 07, 4:58 PM |

Those L'oreal advertisements promising less wrinkles,pentapepsides,dermavration, blah, blah, blah. Do they think women(men too now)are really that daft to believe the ageing can be slowed down,stopped or even reversed. The woman on TV,Andie McDowall is caked in make-up to make it look as though the stuff actually works. They should be done for breach of contract if it's proven to be a load of old rubbish. The thing is, no one admits to buying it.No wonder,it'll probably cost a fortune,nobody likes to brag about wasting money.(unless somehow it's worked for them) DD. Reply #94. Dec 01 07, 5:12 PM |

i get fustrated at my own stupidity. What really annoys me is my nephews (my sister has 6 boys ages 8-16) and they cannot walk by each other without having to push, punch or make a comment. Drives me nuts, love them anyways but sometimes i want to pull my hair our because of them. Reply #98. Dec 02 07, 10:56 AM |

When I'm paying for purchases, I put money and cards into the cashier's hand, and it annoys me when they slap the cards and change down on the counter. Reply #99. Dec 02 07, 3:02 PM |

"I haven't read the thread so I apologise in advance if anyone has already said this." No problem - you can't be bothered to read the thread and I can't be bothered to read your opinion. Reply #100. Dec 02 07, 3:04 PM |
