Anger management thread (Page 4 of 23)

Indeed. I have seen many people, especially around this site, who spell as if they had not passed the third grade. And I treat them as such. Even if they don't know correct grammar, they can at least run it through Microsoft Word, I don't even do that, and my posts come out fine. Death to the murderers of the English language, make them pay for the slaughter they've committed.

Okay...cross that off their career list.

I hate bullies. They prey on weaker people solely to make themselves feel superior, and to vainly get respect. You can't bully people into respecting you. And anyone who picks on littler, weaker, people should quit taking their personal problems out on others, AND GO SEE A THERAPIST!!!

YES!! If someone takes a bite of my food without asking, I'm like, "Excuse me?? This is MY food."

Yeah, what really annoys me is when my friends say, ".... Mac and Tank is going...."

Of course, I have my blonde moments as well and make the same mistakes occasionally, but it really, REALLY bugs me!

I wasn't meaning to point someone out!!   I was just remarking that it's a pet peeve of mine...

My mom goes a bit overboard on the whole grammar thing--I write a paper, and she says something on the lines of "look there's  a fragment" and starts naming all these grammatical terms, and it confuses me SO bad.

I get annoyed by people who ask me to teach them a foreign language (French, Swedish, you name it) over the internet. Most of the time I accept to help them because they're already learning on their own, or have French classes in school. So we exchange e-mails for a starts, trying to find interesting but not too complicated subjects to talk about in either French or Swedish. This girl I know who lives in California is doing her best to try being enthusiastic about it all, we even tried to use Skype to converse in those languages, which turned out being me talking all the time But it was funny anyway.

Eventually the e-mail thing turned out being pretty tedious because whatever corrections and explanations I provided her, she wasn't making any real progress, doing the same mistakes over and over.... I guess you can blame a lot of things for that: the high school educational system that is just crappy about languages, the teachers, the fact that my friend doesn't have much access to any media in French, lack of practice, etc. But it really felt like she was resting all her hopes on me to make her get better in the language. Maybe I'm a bad teacher? Or she possibly gets so stressed out each time she's writing to me that she spontaneously forgets about her lessons... who knows. She often told me about a possible trip to Europe, eventually that revealed itself to cost her a LOT of money so she just gave up on the idea.

If I had to suggest anybody who wanted to learn a new language: don't do it unless you know a native person who can teach you in real life, and who has experience in teaching (like, a teacher ), also make sure you have a large variety of foreign media at your reach (DVDs, music, TV channels...). Learning a foreign language means that you're gonna have to keep an open mind... And temporarily forget about your native speech and mentality, even if that means isolating yourself from your family and friends once in a while But it's necessary if you wanna drop that heavy American accent!!!

Also: don't ever tell a European person about how cool Europe is, and how the US sucks compared to it. That kind of makes me mad for unconscious reasons Last time I spoke to my french-learning friend there, I couldn't help but tell her how France and Sweden were in reality, the downsides and all, not wanting to crush her dreams but more like telling her that she should enjoy what she has at her reach.

Yeah so long story short: I hate people making assumptions about foreign cultures and thinking they're smarter because they're interested in them, rejecting their own culture as if being American was a curse. Hell, I'm French and as much as I hate this country sometimes, you don't see me bitching about at the least occasion

Ya know what I hate...........poeple who think they know whats best for you. Like if you go into baskin robins(true story) and ask for lime ice cream, and the guy says "no,no,no.....thats nasty! You should try this one." THAT REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

I should've fired his a**!! straight up!!

Thats annoying as heck, man! Jeese! Poeple can't drive these days!

I cant drive yet.....:( 2 more years!

Yeah, I don't get it either when I'm just barely speeding and all these people are passing me. But it'd be my luck if I tried it I'd be the only one stopped. -_-

The other day it was great, you know how you can park along a sidewalk in some places? Well, by the phone company there was a big sign saying, "Police Order: Temporarily no parking at any time!!!" ...there were three cars parked there. o_0

Ooohhhh, I know how that feels!!! I went shopping for shoes once and that happened. Except,  family member told me to get THIS shoe and I wanted THAT shoe. The worst part about the situation was 1) I hate shopping and we had been shopping for 45 minutes so I was brain-dead 2) When I tried to put in my two cents, she was like, "Oh, but the other shoes are poor quality--these will last you a LONG time!"
