Abo Bob Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 People who can't spell. I'll let you get away with a keyboard error but seriously; we live in Australia and we've all been to school. You make a new thread asking for advice. People lob in with their suggestions and you discuss it with them. The thread ends with you saying, "Ok that gives me some things to try. I'll give them a go and let you know how it went." To which one or two people will reply something like, "Would be interested to see how it goes because I have a similar problem." Now you have not only the people who discussed the issue with you, but about a hundred other interested parties, a few of whom have a similar issue of their own, all hanging to find out how it went and what do you do? You say, "**** it. It's fixed now. Couldn't be bothered telling them how it went so I wont." Thank you very ****ing much.

ecenshu Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I understand the second hate but the first one is due to instant messaging and TXTing (God I hate that word). People try to get as much information out in the least amount of keystrokes which is understandable if the input method is cruddy. I however have a more specific pet hate: those who type in shorthand because they think it is "elite"(and dont get me started on that). Plus shouters and the good old teenybopper mixing uppercase and lowercase. Makes it so difficult to read! EDIT: Spelling mistakes...but hey, everyone does it!

Jamezilla Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Oooh yeah. The alphanumeric spelling style and alternating capitals make baby Jesus cry. My patience is thin at best - this does nothing to help. I think it actually takes MORE effort to type like a f*ckwit than it does normally. I'm glad I'm not alone. I feel better.

rev210 Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Is this the english teacher thread? I'm interested to see how this project goes too. Let me know how many people change their ways as a result because I might try it myself.

FATGTS-R Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Dont ask me why but I hate people starting a thread asking " How much power do you think I will get? " Even more so when mods are limited to an exhaust, pod and a tad more boost etc. Its like, do they actually read anything on this forum? Just go get on a dyno and get your power figure so you can come back and post " How come I only got xxxkw @ the wheels " These threads nearly always end up off topic anyway. This thread however, I like a lot. It should me made sticky as the official SAU group therapy thread where people can come and post about their hates and annoyances Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/36586-two-of-my-pet-hates/#findComment-730399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamezilla Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Since we're venting... i'm sure we ALL hate these: Peanut butter vs. Vegemite: My mate just made some Vegemite toast, and says that his is so much better than my peanut butter sandwich as he's using only a little bit of margarine and only one piece of bread. I told him he's lying as everyone knows that margaraine is polyunsaturated and that monounsaturated is better. Plus I'm using smooth peanut butter in the Bob-the-Builder jar. But is he right? I think his toaster is set to 4 of a possible 5. Plus he's using multigrain bread. My cousin made some vegemite toast the other day, but made his toaster go to 7 out of 5 as he's at TAFE and knows heaps about stuff. His was good - but as I said, he's at TAFE and my mate's in year 11. We're going to fight about it after school, but only if my mum doesn't come to pick me up first. Oh... also, I want an R34 GTR VSpec III Nür type-M wagon for my 21st - which is in 10 years time. How much will it cost? I want a green one.

Elithrar Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 We're going to fight about it after school, but only if my mum doesn't come to pick me up first. Oh... also, I want an R34 GTR VSpec III Nür type-M wagon for my 21st - which is in 10 years time. How much will it cost? I want a green one. Ahaha! That one was about 2 weeks ago? --------------- I also hate bad spellers. The problem is that they get so used to typing in 'slang' that it actually makes their overall spelling worse. Heck, I type everything out in full (the same goes for text messages on my phone); I'm so used to it now that I type faster than people who do write in slang.

ecenshu Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 OT: Regarding peanut butter vs Vegemite...you all should try toast with one slice Vegemite and the other slice peanut butter. You will be suprised at the taste...and to all of you who will say it's gross....CHICKENS!!!

sewid Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 The lack of basic literacy really gets to me on this forum. The next person who starts a thread and misspells the subject of the title should be taken out back and shot. Yes this means you "HOW MUCH DOES INSUREENCE COST??S?!?!$!@" man. Basically if you can't spell it you shouldn't be entitled to it.

Abo Bob Posted March 18, 2004 Author Share Posted March 18, 2004 I will post here when I get the results back from the good spelling dyno. Also the doctor has taken a blood sample this morning so I'll post the results of that too. He thinks I have irritable ****wit syndrome but I think it's more likely to be a bad case of bigheaditis. The second point I made above is a valid one so please take it in and abuse anyone who comes in for a soak and leaves without adding to the knowledge pool.
