Junk Drawer: Pet peeves edition 3/28/09

Its been over a year since Philthyanimal posted on the biggest Blazer pet peeves, so in his honor, and to give our regular JD contributors a break, here is my attempt at the record.
In looking back at Philthyanimals poll, fond memories are vividly recalled, i.e. Jarrett Jack stepping out of bounds, Holtonisms (well, those memories are all too often refreshed) and Bo Outlaw references.
Since its all junk today, your pet peeves need not be entirely Trail Blazer inclusive. The season is winding down, and there is a likely to moderate chance of elevated stress levels as the team grinds out wins or succumbs to bitter defeats.
My hope is by getting that pet peeve off your chest and out in the open, their will be more Trail Blazer energy in your psyche to root root root our boys to the finish line and into the playoffs.
I'll start this out. It really bothers me when I'm driving and approach a 4 way intersection and stop at the same time as another vehicle on my right, to whom I give a "its your turn, go ahead please" wave, and they look back at me and shake their heads "No" and proceed to wave me through. Oh, that makes me so mad. I'm trying to be courteous, and follow the rules and keep traffic moving, and YOU JUST SCREWED IT UP! Why do they do that? Are they trying to out-do my niceity? "After you", "No, after you", "No, after you, I insist", "Please, after you." GRRRR!!!!
Go Trail Blazers!!

Sports announcers that use war analogies
soory we got real wars…..too not funny

what a warrior, running out to battle…

I actually have the exact opposite view, probably for the same reasons though...
………………………. I subscribe to the belief by Learned Academic Teetotling Gardner fellow (thread on BEdge this last week) that sports fans are “nationalism writ small.” And the more wrapped up in their little phony wars against their “enemies” from other franchises, the less likely sports fans are to become obsessed with “nationalism writ large” and real wars…
Of course, the airhead Li’l Bush sort of defeated my theory and Mr. Continuity We Can Believe In isn’t doing anything at all to change that (announces escalation of the American intervention in Afghanistan) — so I might be wrong.
Still, I think team obsessions actually LESSEN rather than increase the effectiveness of American militarism.
It’s a WAR in the trenches!

sports is definitely the substitute for war
not to take anything away from the real soldiers, but could you imagine sending our most elite athletes into battle? I mean the 6’7" 295 4.2 sec/40 yd guys…would cut down on number of weapons needed…I mean if Randy Johnson threw the grenade at you, would it need to explode or would it kill you anyway…
Right now I feel the GangBanger ==> soldier recruitment movement should be pushed…..organized armored driveby’s…with air support….pow pow pow…

If Grand Theft Auto
has taught me anything — and it has — I’m pretty sure that the solution to your problem is reaching for your nine and spraying the body of their car with flying lead. That makes cars scoot through intersections in a hurry when you do it in the game!
My current pet peeve: my balky hamstrings. I have zero confidence in all-out sprinting right now because it seems like I pull something every time I do, and then I’m back on the shelf for 5-7 days. Does anybody have a regimen that they follow for hammies from their own experience? I’m in bad need of some assistance.

flexor muscles (like the hamstrings) with fire incessantly
when there is an over-stimulation of the sympathetic portion of the autonomics – - – ie stuck in fight-or-flight mode….the thing that fixes this most consitently is vit b5 (pantothenic acid) us about 150mg/day….helps the body produce acetylcholine which supports parasympathetic activity (ie fought/flew all is A-Ok)…
Also strengthening the opposing muscles (in this case the quadriceps) will help the hamstrings to relax…

Pet peeves change over time (and are not necessarily related to pets, duh). As for NBA/Blazers/BE related peeves:
- League pass broadband not always working like a paid product should. Occasionally games not set up correctly to start . And especially freezing/“buffering” at the most interesting moment. The problem is on your side NBA/Turner Broadcasting, I have about the fastest Internet connection known to consumer mankind outside of Japan/South Korea where they have crazy wide pipes.
- People asking questions that they could answer themselves in under 30 seconds by using Google. Or by reading at least most of the thread. Or questions that they should know nobody can answer with any certainty.
- Announcers/analysts not bothering to learn anything about the opposing team – although that is almost half their job. Such as how to pronounce the name of a player even remotely correct.
And some general pet peeves:
- People (especially politicians) talking with certainty about things you instantly know they have not the faintest idea of
- People sitting in and holding up meetings that have no stake in this meeting. You don’t have anything else to do?
- Products that are so badly designed you know the designer/engineer/developer never really tested them with real humans in real situations. They are everywhere. E.g. I know airport turnstiles that you can’t get through with luggage. High entertainment value to observe other people trying to hurdle and shot-put stuff over them, little fun when you have to do it. Good job guys!
- To that effect: Windows. I’m still amazed that Americans who sue everyone over everything that goes wrong accept such a flawed product in their daily life. Sorry Paul. And having to install anti virus software and such is like paying money to the mafia so they don’t trash your store. A solution to a problem that shouldn’t exist to begin with.

well, the tail had to be changed from going straight out left to curving underneath so my buddy who does customized embroidery can fit the image more aesthetically onto a hat and other Bonzi-gear. The red background was also problematic to the design.
I use cheapo Word paint for my cat depictions and the fill option didnt completely fill in the red background after painstakenly erasing all the red. I haven’t have the gumption to take the time to refill every white part of the halo around his body.

Tough one. There’s an increasing feeling that OSX would likely have just as many attack vendors if it had 90% of the market… it’s as much a market share problem as anything. People will always attack the product with the largest market share.
With your average linux desktop, there will always be vulnerabilities found, but they’re typically fixed much faster. That may eventually be Microsoft’s true downfall. (Apple is often slower than Microsoft, too). Three more generations of Ubuntu improvements (and they’re making fast progress), then one more major, nasty worm that smacks Windows with data loss or theft, and it’ll send people running to a free product.
(Full disclosure: I’ve got Windows, Linux and OSX in the house, and administered Windows for years, including cross-interaction with Linux and OSX.)

Traffic related pet peeve
As a Pedestrian …I hate cars that stop and wait for me to cross. Counter-intuitive i know. Usually when I am trying to cross the street there is minimal traffic and most times I just have to pause a moment (or even just slow down)for the car to pass but the fool stops….which makes me have to stop (to make sure he is really stopping and not just slowing down). Portland recently passed a law that you have to stop for peds which makes this worse. Now no one know the rules at all. When I am driving people just stroll out into traffic ….even when I have the green at an intersection and they have a “don’t walk” signal. When I am a ped and am trying to cross a multilane oneway street and some yahoo stops for me and starts waving me across when there are 3 more lanes of rushing traffic. I am like going “No thanks..I choose not to die today” and he still waving “come on …come on” …and I want to flip off this good semaritin (sp) ….arrggg

crosswalk peeve
I hear that. What really irks me is when waiting for pedestrians to cross they take their sweet time, sometimes doing circles around their friends, pausing to decide where they are going as if my getting through the intersection to where I’m going is totally irrelevent to their particular moment in time.

I almost caused a lady to get hit by a car
The street by my house is 4 lanes and a lady was across the street from me. Traffic on her side of the street was going but my side was stopped so her side could make left turns. I decided to walk to the middle section because I knew I could cross next. When the lady across the street saw me walking, she started walking and a car had to slam on his brakes to avoid hitting her. sSe gave me stink eye once she made it to the middle.

I was working in a bowling alley years ago
It was a Saturday and Senior Leagues were about to start. A nice old lady came in using her walker (the kind with the wheels on the front of it) ….she was a regular in there so I waved to her as she was approaching the desk (she was about 15 feet away). She pulled 1 hand off her walker to wave back…which caused her walker to start going in a circle ….the look on her face was hilarious and I started laughing..luckily she got it back under control and she also laughed. It wouldn’t have been as funny if she fell down a broke a hip ( I am just guessing on that last part…it might have been even funnier)

Waiting for the last car on the through street to pass by. The car slows and then comes to a unnecessary stop to allow me to cross. C’mon, if you had kept going you’d be out of my way. Now I gets to ride in front of your ton+ machine controlled by a person who makes bad decisions and doesn’t know the traffic laws. Maybe they wanna see my glutes as I stand up and pedal by.
No spell check for posting here is PMO also.

As a Pedestrian …I hate cars that stop and wait for me to cross. Counter-intuitive i know. Usually when I am trying to cross the street there is minimal traffic and most times I just have to pause a moment (or even just slow down)for the car to pass but the fool stops
Some cities run police stings where a plain-clothed cop is at the curb, waiting to use a crosswalk. If the driver doesn’t stop, there’s a cop just past the crosswalk, waiting to pull you over.
Even if a pedestrian is waving a driver through, while it is courteous (I appreciate it), it’s still technically illegal for the driver to pass over the crosswalk.
Just a random thought on why some people refuse to let you wave them. They know it could be a trap, or really know the law.

And another pet peeve. I could well imagine a career in medicine, but that's just stupid
Of course plastic surgery has its purpose for which most procedures were invented in the first place, in order to correct real physical or at least psychologically problematic defects. Yet operating rich people for mostly imaginary problems is a rather useless job. I don’t care how much money or “fame” it brings.

Right now, my pet peeve is
Having a knee injury stopping me from playing basketball. I didn’t realise my patella tendon was injured, I continued to reinjure it over a period of three or more months and now there are cists located in the tendon that flare up during exercise. The tendon is mostly healed but the cists make me unconfident due to the pain.
Need to dig into my dad’s private health insurance to resolve the problem through sound wave treatment at some point. But I’m not sure when that can happen.

For example: in my field of work, we talk about car accidents a lot. One of the people in the office insists on pronouncing the word “vehicle” as “vee-hic-le.” Normal peoplejust leave the “hi” silent, and say it as “veicle”. But no, this person just HAS to have the “hi” in it.

Can we just eliminate this position? What other job can you be usually wrong and still get paid? Many parts of the country don’t need one most of the time. The regular anchorpeople should give us one or two lines about current weather and tomorrow’s weather, and move on to more sports coverage. TV Meteorologists should only get a segment if there is impending weather-related doom coming….otherwise my internet browser gives me a reasonable weather forecast.

Here's two of mine
1) Michael Lufkin-absolutely horrible, “partner”;
2) Sportcasters who can’t do math. The Blazers are 45-27. Every supposedly knowledgeable sports talking head says we’re 18 games over .500. Not so! After 72 games, .500 would be 36-36, right? So, we’re 9 games over .500, not 18. This drives me crazy.
by kuhnsmith on Mar 28, 2009 11:51 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
this seems wrong somehow. i mean, if we lost 9 in a row, we wouldn't be at .500.
if we were 27-27, and then won 18 games in a row, wouldn’t that make us 18 games over .500?

I agree with that
If you are 51 and 31, you are 20 games over .500… not 10 games over .500, which is 41 wins.
If you have 20 more wins than losses, you gotta lose 20 games to get back to a .500 record. Thus, 20 games over .500.

Facebook doesn’t actively bother me, because I purely use it to keep track of friends and their whereabouts, but not as an actual social function in itself. If I don’t have a good face-to-face relationship with a person, they don’t get added.

When is that one due? I don’t think it’s healthy to let one baby out and keep the twin stuck inside you, both for the baby and the mother.
Is it to avoid celebrating two b-days on the same day? Even still… just get the other baby out, it’ll make your belly smaller.

I got that all the time the years I spent living in Vancouver (Washington, not Canada)
My mother is from Central America and I’m black, so I always got “Are you adopted?” or “Is that your babysitter?” It embarrassed one of my sisters enough to not want my mother to ever come to her school for any kind of function or conference. Fortunately my mother is responsible and ignored such requests. Also, nobody ever remembered the country my mother is from, which is Panama. Man sentences started with “Wait, you’re part Mexican, right?”

I dated a girl in high school
Whose parents always hung around with a certain group of other married couples, which was weird to me because I had never seen that before. She told me they were swingers and I believed her until I brought it up some time later and she was like “I was kidding, you actually believed that?”

one loves to drink out of the toilet, even though she has a fresh water bowl. When I go into the bathroom she watis outside of the door, listening, waiting for me to flush and bring in that plethora of fresh water. And if I close the lid she gives me the evil eye. Gross, but true story.

Laws of nature:
The indoor cat will stop at nothing to get out.
The outdoor cat will stop at nothing to get in.
A cat with a choice can’t make up her mind.
We have both outdoor and indoor cats. The indoor cats used to be permanently indoor, but now we let them come and go. The outdoor cats remain permanently outdoor cats. This has thrown the system out of balance, as the outdoor cats were previously repelled by the equal and opposite force of the indoor cats at any cracked doorway.

Got one more: Video games that don't let me save the game while I'm on a mission when I want
So I have to repeat the whole thing over and over again instead of just from a certain part/room. I’m looking at you, GTA IV and Force Unleashed. How come super-expensive development projects still fail to handle that accurately?
In other news, I played the new 50 Cent video game. It’s kinda fun in coop mode, but over very quickly (less than a day for the main story) and I hope it was intended to be so over the top and idiotic in the dialogues (which are somewhat repetitive). Otherwise they would take themselves much too serious. Sometimes it feels like being on a shooting range. It’s basically Gears of War with black people and rap music. My favorite storyline element was when 50 calls in some hookers to distract guards, and instead of waiting for his sinister plan to come to fruition he blows up the limo where the girls are arriving in for even better distraction. What? Can’t wait to see mainstream talk shows to run amok about that.

Me and a friend found some cheap soft-core magazines that probably a trucker had thrown away in a ditch. Don’t know how old we were, but too young to really understand what was going on. Still we were curious, and I remember we looked through them, laughed about the captions and then buried them in the woods. A few years later when I had a better grasp of what that was I wanted to dig them out again. Never found them. I would have to ask my friend if he dug them out some time, or if they are still there somewhere wrapped in a plastic bag :)

I need to learn some ‘puter tricks, because I ain’t a hacker at all, and just by being young and t’horny they’ll figure out how to get around stuff unless I get some learnin’ as to how to keep it out of their eye holes.
Well, some stuff once they’re a teen, okay, but I ain’t worried about the porn stuff. It’s the REAL darkness of the internet that will destroy young minds who can’t filter and process it that I worry about.

one with bsafe (blocks junk and reports to your accountability partner) and another that’s wide open and lets you go anywhere, but sends a report of where you’ve been to an “accountability partner.”
bsafe costs like 40 a year or something….the other one that just reports is free…… called XXXchurch or something. It works pretty good.

Let me say that I never saw the point in censoring
stuff for sexual content for my kids and they are both doing just fine, honors graduate from college, going to grad school, normal sex lives. Don’t sweat it, it’s only sex.

— when Tom pees all over the toilet seat lid

I lift the lid
One time she said, “Every time you get drunk, you pee on the floor.” Then I said, “You say that every time I get drunk and pee on the floor.”
Now a days, it’s mostly the V-pee and not paying attention to what I am doing. I just went on the shower curtain because I was looking in the medicine cabinet.

Have you tried peeing in the washing machine...
and then telling her it’s really ok because they all drain to the same place?

I had a stage
where I was a pee sleep walker – would sleep walk and pee in the most crazy places, like the couch, with a kid sleeping on it, and didn’t even remember it. Thankfully that stage is behind me…. ( I feel so dirty now )

possibly
the apostrophe at the end notes possession, as in LaMarcus’ means something that belongs to LMA or his personna. If you were referring to something in your previous sentence (or current one) and then referred back to it as “it” then it would be OK. But its’ instead of it’s when you mean “it is” doesn’t work.

It's best that I not get started on them
The removal of analog and forcing either a box or QAM, then trying to encrypt QAM afterward.
Forcing boxes on you in general, otherwise you use cablecard, and they will grudgingly support it.
Poor service, badly compressed channels, and HD channels that barely count as such.
The worst PVR box in the business.

When the marines trying to call in an air strike/inform the Pentagon about the attack get in some service hotline because they don’t have the number available. And “Bob” tries to up-sell him a new discount rate or something while the unit is under fire. I could so see that happening.

True Story
I called a tech support line at work last month, it was in up state NY, and told her I was in Oregon (which she mis-pronounced several times). I set up a call back because their techs were busy, and she asked me what country Oregon was in and what our GMT offset was. I swear to God. I felt like telling her we were a county in Wyoming.

Scrapbooking
Why in the world would people do it? Your vacation won’t seem more fun if the pictures have a construction paper border with an unusual pattern and stickers saying “fun times” and “family vacation” next to them. Put the pictures in a freaking album if you want them in the same place. The worst is titling incredibly obvious pages in a scrapbook. Like “Graduation” followed strangely enough by some person in a cap and gown holding some sort of piece of paper. We get it!!! What a terrible waste of time and money.

It’s movie night here. We have a couple non-native friends, so we’re choosing older (somewhat-classic) movies they haven’t seen. Tonight’s choice is the original “Back to the Future” in almost-full HD.

San Francisco is a challenge all right.
Lots going-on there, what with the vertiginous hills (some of which are so steep that when you are starting to go down one you cannot see anything but sky in front of your car), the traffic, which includes streetcars, cable cars, and buses; cars parked on literally every inch of every street in much of the city, jaywalkers, and not just one-way streets, which aren’t so bad to deal with, but a confusing mishmash of one-way and two-way streets, some of which have multiple lane markings for all the different types of vehicular traffic. The worst for me is the myriad signs, all of which you must read and understand correctly if you have any hope of reaching your destination with your car, your traffic record, and your life intact.

We have a Floyd-and-Zep station here too
The wife is a big Floyd fan, so no complaints when Learning to Fly or Comfortably Numb comes on. But after a while, ugh.
At least the same station also plays Def Leppard and old Bon Jovi. Plus John Mellancamp and Bruce Springsteen. And Styx, but not Mr. Roboto. And Queen.
The new definition of “Classic Rock” can be entertaining. For a short time, they played occasional “modern classics”, like Santana’s recent stuff too. I imagine it ended after all the phone calls and e-mails they got.

I was driving by a house down the street
and the kids there (8 years old? Guessing) were singing along with Elton John’s “Rocket Man”. I was a little surprised… I wondered how younger ages have a lot more eclectic taste these days.
Part of me thought it was how accessible music is now. Another part of me wonders if the modernization of studio production in the 70’s played a big role. By 1975 or so, production was so clear that it sounds like it could be recorded today. A big difference from a couple generations ago, when older music “sounded old” and was relegated to oldies stations.
