What annoys you?

[Kari]

And here's something that really annoys me, although I am strongly Pro Copyright and as such should understand this:

Proxy... LOL... it's only a commercial for cheese...

 

[steviejay42]

People that use the phrase "Can I get..."

For example they might be in Starbucks and say to the assistant "Can I get a large latte and a Danish".

Makes me feel like saying "No you can't get it, he has to get it. You can HAVE it. Now go away and learn how to speak properly."

:mad2:

Some one who uses the phrase, 'I know where you're coming from." That has to be the most stupidest thing I have ever heard. When I hear it I want to go home and get the .06, and. . .:devil2:

How about 'at this moment in time' when 'now' would do just as well.

And at the risk of upsetting our American friends, what in hell's name does 'get-go' mean?

 

[TVeblen]

The correct pronunciation is "GIT-GO". It is usually used to express a desire for some effort to be made. As in "I know I need a shower, but I just don't have the GIT-GO".

The term probably derives from US TV westerns (WAG). And the people who use the term imagine themselves as cowboys on their imaginary horses and when they want the horse to GO they spur-kick it and say "GIT".

"GIT" being a foreshortened version of "GIDDYUP" which some fictional cowboy said on some TV show in the 50s whenever he wanted the horse to GO.

Heh Heh

Lol, it appears to more then annoy you

I've never used it myself, but always heard it to mean from the very beginning, as in " I knew that new employee wouldn't work out from the get-go."

That AVG search that you can't get rid of if you happen to not notice it as an add on with some apps - in fact that goes for all of those Google bars Ask bars etc etc

Why do you say so? They help me to get most of the Internet:

Back to the topic: It annoys me incredible much to click close on an webpage or ad, only to get another. For me, close means close, not "Please show me next page".

This really annoyed me.

Hello,

A typical bad post. I'll save you the rant but you shoot yourself in a foot because most technical people won't even look at the post with this kind of subject.

This was an answer to a first time poster. The poster attempted to defuse his/her reports by adding a line at the end of this answer with "Good Luck."

Sorry, maybe is just me, albeit this would cause me to go elsewhere for help.

What really annoys me is when the customer calls up and says he gets an error msg on his Broadband modem.
The error is "Oops! We couldn't detect the sim card in the modem". And then I have to teach him how to insert the sim card correctly and voila. It starts working.

The phrases..........Whasssup or How are they hangin?
The other is seeing someone with baseball type hat on at a 45 degree angle.
Now where did I put my Colt 45?

I'd be sorely tempted to report that. If you don't want to help, just skip the post! :sarc:

I did report, let the Admins mods decide. His follow up post wasn't apologetic.

Inner drive to get off your arse and do something- anything.

Giving someone such get-go could involve a boot to the backside or fireworks/dynamite ignited in the proper place to motivate propulsion.

My generations definition of funky is closer to putrid.
