Things That Annoy You

When you start posting something and it gets randomly deleted for no reason (just happened now).

It's fucking November, we've already had our first snowfall, so why are there still mosquitos?

Cause they don't die they simply adapt and become more annoying. (Trust me I'm from the South those fuckers stay here all year round.)

My mom was talking about how she hates going to a certain grocery store near her workplace and apropos of jack shit my dad asks "because of all the Jews?"

I'd love to teleport your dad to old South Beach around Lincoln Road Mall....What a schmuck!

Better yet, teleport him to Israel.

Actually, after the little discussion we had this morning I think it would be better to zap him back to the Reagan presidency he admires so much... in the body of a poor black woman. Or maybe just teleport him literally anywhere else on the planet.

Oh deer.

I'm sorry.

Overly moderated message boards.  Obviously that's not the case here, but other message boards are terrible in that regard.  For some, it's just a ban on controversial topics.  The moderators can become very strict about what constitutes controversial (they wouldn't allow a discussion on SOPA even though if passed, it could have killed the site), but compared to some of these other sites, bans on controversial topics are at the low end of overly moderated.  I've been on message boards where mods have banned people for things as petty as spelling and grammar errors.  And then there's the editors.  My god the editors who have to edit every post so that it fits perfectly in line with everything else.  Fucking font can result in  editing and don't get me started on those douchebag mods who delete or edit posts because they go slightly off topic.

That's one of my only complaints about the FTB forums: activist mods.  I've had a post edited because I said the word "fuck."  Yes, they have a "no cussing" rule, because apparently, 13 year-olds (the "minimum age" of the forums, though we all know kids lie thru their teeth about that shit) have never heard a single curse word, and most certainly DON'T use language saltier than the most weathered sailor, therefore we must protect their virgin eyes from nasty bad words.  Fucking pansies.

Although we did not know what the word really meant yet, all the kids I knew in grammar school said fuck quite often. Starting at ages six to eight. Back in the sixties. Pansies, indeed, these mods (not the kids).

...Meanwhile I got annoyed when another forum I go to has people starting topics in wrong sections. In retrospect it was a mild annoyance.

Certain forms of tone policing are infuriating to me.  Particularly those who lecture others about how they should get the message across.  On another forum, I once used sarcasm to convey my disgust toward the war on drugs.  I said something to the extent of "free country my ass!" and got lectured about how I should move to Iraq and that my sarcasm poisoned my message somehow.  No, it only poisoned the message to those who made such a big deal about it. 

On the other hand, those who cry "TONE POLICING!" just because others are put off by their abrasive personality can suck it.  There's a fine line between being a douche who tells others how to communicate and responding to douchey behavior.
