People that don't realize why this is a good thing and whine about it.
Also people who state "things that tilt me" in the things that tilt me thread.

The ad bar shown at the top of google searches take a split second longer to load than the search results. So often I get ready to click a link and that fucking thing pops up

Oh: Idiots driving the speed limit in the passing lane.
yah skin condition
Survey popups on websites. I get "randomly selected" pretty much every time I visit some sites, and they use iframes over the content so you can't ignore them.
Similarly -- websites that use the same tactic on a time delay to try to get you to sign up for their newsletter.
Colleagues who have to have the last word in every email exchange. Especially when that last word is just 'ok' or 'thanks'.
yeah.
But no seriously, even a one-word response shows that they read and acknowledged your last message, so i personally don't really see that as inappropriate in any way, unless you can give me a convincing example otherwise.
When two people who love to get the last word in are saying bye on the phone, now that's amusing. But I think everybody does it to some extent, the "Ok thanks so much, speak to you again soon." "likewise! have a nice day." "Thanks! Ok bye now." "Ok bye, take care". "You too!" "Thanks!"
I wonder how long this is allowed to go on before it's socially unacceptable, and likewise, how short is too short? I know one man who you'd be in the middle of a conversation with, and as soon as he's decided he's done with you he says "bye now." *click*.
Meh, I don't even reply to most of the emails I get unless there's a good reason. You sent it to me, I got it, consider it done, now stop clogging my inbox. People spend way too much time in their email clients in general imo and I bet I could find some correlation between actual productivity and email usage.
i bet you could find actual studies on that without doing one yourself ;)
I've never had a real office job, but my dad used to lecture me saying it ain't done until you've followed up to make sure the message was received. So in your case, you'd have my dad calling you up to make sure you got his email since you never replied to acknowledge. :D
Yeah but there's a limit.
True.
I just remembered something else for the tilt thread:
non players posting in ww and telling people to lynch me
*diabolical laffter*
you take this WW to heart
Yeah it didn't really tilt me, quite the opposite :heart:
I imagine my productivity drops considerably when a werewolf game is on.
Thinking about the email thing reminds me of something I've learnt to do. Whenever anyone more senior than me gives me a remotely complicated task verbally I always email them stating exactly what they told me to do before I actually do it so they can't screw me later by saying "that's not what I told you to do".
And to keep on topic, it tilts me that I have to do that.
it's fucking beautiful weather outside and i'm inside working instead of say, outside drinking beer.
working really really hard as you can see.
Yeah my lunch break finished an hour ago
tilts me that I struggle to write directly and use 20 words where 5 will do
aka i use too many words fml
If they were Canadian friends it would look more like this: "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Sorry!" "Sorry" "Sorry" "Sorry" "I'm really sorry" "It's OK I'm sorry too"
Here's one, when your your sitting chatting to somebody and they keep tapping their foot. Bugs the fuck outta me.
I used to be a leg twitcher.
I still am when I'm bored.
Me too, but only the middle leg
People starving.
The amount of people on this and other forums, Facebook and twitter that don't know the difference between looser and loser. Using one makes you the other.
That and people that type in short form text speak on said sites!!
I'm not much of a grammar nazi jyms, but that one makes me loose my shit
Yeah, I wont name names, but someone here does it constantly, and it is a bit tilting every time I read it.
I'm sure their just going too do it more often now, just two make people loose there minds.
I do it all the time, come @ me!
Dont loose your shit gmml

Mrs and kids away for the night, plan a marathon poker session. FT update breaks hud :(
Planning permission being granted for 31 dwellings to be built directly behind my house, which is currently just fields with nothing else between my back garden and the cliffs and sea. Prob knock 20% off the value of my house too and definitely ruins my lovely view.

whiskey dick. seriously, what cruel joke to play that the best scenario for nefarious sexual behavior with some young hottie comes after I've been drinking all day, and then can't manage to put my best foot forward. Things usually still "work" sufficiently well, but, yes, very tilting.

I hate when people call with nothing and get rewarded for it......

Use of the word "very" in nearly all cases. It is a weak word that conveys next to no meaning. Consider that replacing the word "very" with another, more descriptive word adds significant meaning to a sentence.
Also, use of the word "very" in the following way:
This very day...
What kind of day? A "very" day? What the hell is a very day? Like this day was more day than other days? WTF are you trying to say?
Oh right, you're not trying to say anything, you just want to sound dramatic, even though what you're describing is commonplace.
I very disagree
What a silly idea to get rid of a key intensifier that exists in probably every spoken language that ever existed.
Also, essential in sarcasm.
"Very funny, kiwiMark."
And in subtle understatement where other words may come across as too direct.
"That wasn't very nice of you..."
In fact, get rid of "very" in both of my examples. The first one barely even makes sense, and the second would come across as a very blunt rebuke, no matter what kind of charming smile you put on.
And it's far more interesting/funny to talk about say, "a very large hammer" rather than "a humongous hammer", "a giant hammer", "a collosal hammer"... In fact those ridiculous hyperboles are far more void of meaning to me than using very.
verilyQuote:
did you feel the need to banish punctuation from your posts?
I just thought about the word humongous and wondered wtf it's about, because it seems to have no clear etymological origin. Turns out it's only been around since about 1967 and the best theory is that it's a mashing together of "huge" and "monstrous". So next time you use that particular superlative, I would review it in my head as follows: would it really make any sense for me to describe this ice cream as huge and monstrous? I hope the answer is yes.
Just hope you never have to describe your fiance as such. That would be very depressing. For you.
what about in the context of breasts?
That would prob mean you knocked her up.
The use of the word literally when people are describing something figurative.

Oh I don't really care about the semantics or to discuss them. I just wanted to use literally and illiterate in the same sentence.
It tilts me when others criticize things that tilt you. Eat a dick
Eating dick.
