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.

Here's one better on television commercials... I get annoyed that every television show goes to commercial at the same exact time. Reply #4181. Oct 28 23, 9:11 AM |

And, the commercials that immediately repeat themselves... not at the next break, but the same commercial, in the same break, back-to-back with itself. The repetition does not make me more inclined to buy whatever it is. Reply #4182. Oct 28 23, 9:41 AM |

Commercials on the TV when F1 is on ITV4. Makes me angry. Reply #4183. Oct 28 23, 10:44 AM |

Questions that start with "Here's an easy one for you" followed by the most obscure fact possible. There are too many of them on this site. Reply #4184. Oct 28 23, 10:46 AM |

I hear you on that. Yesterday I played a "_________ for Dummies" quiz. I'm by no means an expert in the area, but have a good general knowledge of the subject. Most of the questions were difficult/obscure. Reply #4185. Oct 28 23, 1:21 PM |

Related to this is questions that start with "Everybody knows that ..." Clearly this is a lie whatever the subject ! Reply #4186. Oct 28 23, 2:50 PM |

This irked me just a couple days ago ... I went to a doctor -- who's known me a very long time and is fully aware I have a couple of neurological disorders... which I've described to him at length... ... And when I spoke of two things I wished I could do but am physically incapable of, he basically just said, "Just push through it and do it." Me: "I tried X once and it really hurt." Him: "Well, of course it's hard. You're in lousy shape. You can do it; you just have to go harder." I loathe when people act like my inability and/or conditions are due to laziness, or are things I could have more control over if I just tried harder at (something). Great approach, especially for doctors -- *guilt-trip* people for having the nerve to be unwell! Reply #4187. Oct 29 23, 5:35 AM |

If you see a question with "here's an easy one" or the like, send a CN. We haven't allowed that for years, and we'll remove it if it can be done and still keep the question playable. Reply #4189. Oct 29 23, 8:14 AM |

Has anyone but me noticed that the amount of cotton attached to the end of Q-Tip brand cotton swabs is less than it has been in the past? Reply #4191. Oct 29 23, 9:53 AM |

@Upstart3: Ouch, you had almost 72000 out of 75000. That one must hurt! Reply #4192. Oct 29 23, 9:56 AM |

This is really... but let's just say if you ever complete Ascension, you get a free shot at 75k. There's an 84390 hiding somewhere in that game as one (of more than a dozen) options to get past a crucial (VERY LATE - we're talking chapter 12 or beyond!!!) wall. Reply #4194. Oct 29 23, 2:40 PM |

That’s intriguing. I have lost all my notes on Ascension. Maybe I should give it another shot. Reply #4195. Oct 29 23, 5:04 PM |

Naah I just can't do the Ascension. I made some progress years and years ago, but I lost my notes, and I've revisited areas but I just don't get it. Have to give it up. Reply #4197. Nov 02 23, 3:39 PM |

Don't know how far you got with Ascension, Upstart, but it was the same with me for years. One day I went back to it after a long break and tried something and it moved me on to the next level. So it's always worth having another go and being brave. Good luck if you do decide to try again. Reply #4198. Nov 03 23, 7:04 AM |

I got quite a way through, but I obviously didn't have everything, or also remember what I needed, to finish, so I took the option to go back and redo some levels, so now I'm stuck in a level I've got through before. Maybe I'll have another go one day. Reply #4199. Nov 03 23, 9:58 AM |

Spell check changing your original though to something else(like changing Benji to Benjamin). Reply #4200. Nov 07 23, 1:15 PM |
