  • Peeve: Web sites or iPhone apps that ask you a question, then only give you one choice for an answer.

    LinkedIn keeps asking me if I know John Doe*, but the only choice is to accept a connection from this person. There isn't a choice for no, I don't know this person and please don't bug me about it again.



    *Name changed...
    **I only joined LinkedIn the help with the job search a couple of years ago. I have no use for most social media sites.

        • Homeowners that mix different color temperature light bulbs. Pick one or the other... soft warm light or bright cool light! So annoying.

          • People who use apostrophe's in words that they want to make plural.

            I just noticed the LDS Tools update had the message "Fixed a bug in sending email's to lists of members."

                  • Use of "pound for pound" in evaluating a player's effectiveness. There is no reason to normalize on player weight.

                      makes sense in boxing, but not much else.

                      • Peeve: distorted hold music while waiting to talk to someone on the phone.

                        Right now I'm stuck for an estimated 40 minutes listening to what would actually be good music, but it's distorted, like an FM station that isn't quite tuned in. I've experienced this same thing on both government numbers and private businesses. Every time they stop to announce that they're sorry you have to wait, it's clear as can be. Why is the music so screwed up?

                        And the worst part is that you have to listen, because when a human finally comes on, you only have seconds to respond to them or they will hang up on you.

                          In many old phone systems, especially in older buildings, the music player is in some old closet and inevitably gets placed in such a position that it's either mounted next to a high voltage power line because that's the only available mounting space (don't want to run the actual phone/data lines near high-voltage lines) or it gets placed such that the output line runs next to a high voltage line at some point.

                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                                "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
