My peeve for today.

At an event, people taking videos with their phones? Are you here for the event (games especially.) ? Or just to block my view...

    When I used to live in a small town of 5000 where they put in a WalMart. I looked all over the store twice for toilet paper and couldn't find it. Finally, I asked an employee where they hid it. Oh, he said, it's located in the garden section. And so it was. ????

    Ok, that is just illogical! What?!?!?!? What logic dictated that? Maybe for people that use leaves to wipe?!? :lol:

    I know exactly what you mean! I have a sort of love/hate relationship with Wally world... I love their prices on 85% of stuff we buy; I hate that the walmart nearest me is apparently run by a complete ...... -- half the stuff we normally buy, we have to go to the other walmart near here to get it, after finding out that it's completely missing from the shelves of the one nearest us. And sometimes we have to journey 10-15-20 miles to visit 3 or 4 different walmarts, to find one item. It's insane.

    not really a vape pet peeve, but when people refer to Borg Warner parts as "Borgen Warner" or some other weird name. Its Borg, as in the weird technophiliacs from Star Trek. We are the Borg and The Warner, and We shall assimilate your Ford!

    OH one thing that DOES irk me is when the flea market peeps who think they know alot but actually dont call kangers and other bottom coil tanks "Wickless". Course, theyre still selling teslas for 170$ x.x

    I'm beginning to think so. I remember when we first started shopping at Walmart, and it was so nice, so much better than Kmart, everything on the shelves where it belongs, prices marked, and even employees willing to help you. Now it's worse than Kmart ever thought about being.

    :-x <- my face when I'm TRYING to find one of my regular items at Walmart

    How about the Grammar Nazi's who correct people when they use "Effect" instead of "Affect"?

    I confess, I'm a "grammar and syntax and spelling nazi" -- but the effect/affect one doesn't bother me, because they ARE really close in sound, so it's very, VERY easy to confuse them. What bugs me a lot more than that is when they just give up, and use "impact" instead.

    IT'S A NOUN, NOT A VERB!!!!!

    I'm Not saying that I would Push Grammar Girl down a Flight of Stairs or Anything. But if she Did fall down a Flight of Stairs I don't think I would be the First person to rush over and Pick Her Up!

    I am going to agree with the several people talking about closing threads for what seems to me to be silly reasons. I know this is a business and all but a little brevity is not illegal.

    A business? I'm going to get a BILL for all that help? A business? Just paid off "the mortgage" and now ............?:(

    Pet 'peeves'? I shouldn't - but - "How do I rebuild coils?" seems to be a really common question. The kind people answer most every time; but, the info IS easy to find with just a tiny bit of 'thought' and that 'Search and Advanced Search' help tool.

    I'm sure I'm not the first to wonder.:confused:

    ROFL!! You know what bugs me even more than the "grammar" nazis? When my ex-husband corrects my pronunciation of words I've never heard... I read a LOT, so I come across a lot of words that just don't come up in conversation.... I know what they mean, and how to use them... but I've never heard them, so I have no idea how to pronouce them! He does it to me in almost EVERY conversation we have... "I think you have your em-PHA-sis on the wrong "Syl-LA-ble"... GRRRRRR!!!!
