Junk Drawer: Pet peeves edition  3/28/09

Bonziblazercat3_tiny by bow4meow on Comment 679 comments

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!!

a real life or death fight to the finish….
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.

get into a stretching routine every morning

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…

gang graffiti- good peeve

That’s always bugged me. I was in need of relief and had to use the can at a local stop-n-shop and inside the restroom was some fresh “WSM etc.” scribblings. So how does tagging a nasty bathroom bring credence to your little gang?

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.

If you’re up for one bout of heavy aggravation, I’ve got something to really spike that pet peeve. If you’re not up for it, don’t look at this

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.

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)

I am on my bicycle at a stop sign acting like a vehicle

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.

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.

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.

I know a craniofacial surgeon, who was educated partly in the US

He also does both, nose jobs/chin/cheek implants and “real” problems. Also pro bono abroad. But he wouldn’t do those “Hollywood” procedures or grotesque multi-over-operations or operate on body parts he knows not enough about.

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.

People who over-pronunciate words

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.

TV Weatherpeople

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.

How about the “on location” storm reporters? It’s snowing, and we could just look out the window and tell you that, but we send an entire crew outside for an “authentic” shot. The real snow in the background is important because we are going to use this as a teaser for the whole show, with brief mentions and tiny pictures above the anchors left ear of the actual “on location” shot.

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.

It was kind of funny having Dave announce that I was there

It put a strange spin on the night and then after that I kept introducing myself to lurkers. I should have showed up early.

it was funny...right after you were introduced

RoodiePhirnandizz walked in, and was like, Tom is here? Where!?

I was like he’s the dude with the glasses and spiked hair…he’s right over there. I pointed towards you, and he walked right past you….hahahah he looked around for a couple minutes before he figured out that you were just coming over to talk to me, Twiggs, Outlaw is Rejector, and whoever else was standing around.

flip flops or sandals are what I wear to the beach.

I added a rec for the Twitter part.

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.

For this purpose, it works pretty well.

whether it’s just attached to another that happens to get deleted, or a whole thread, saddens me. does it mess up your comment count, or does it still count, like a ghost comment?

The other night I was going to post a dumb fanpost, make a dozen comments, check my count, then delete it. Instead i just messed up 92’s JD. We should do it right now. I’ll go post something dumb and delete it.

Especially when they have skis and snowboards on their feet. I hate waiting at the lift.

I once spent several hours waiting for some Italians to fix the only lift to get me out of some Italian valley in the dolomites. I probably could have hiked faster out of there. Then again their mountains are crazy fun, you can literally see that it once was a reef in an ocean. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Torri_del_Vaiolet.JPG

when I’m with my 2 year old grandson and people ask me if he’s adopted (I’m white, he’s half Asian). It stuns me how many people ask me that.

nothing wrong with being adopted, but wanted to point out how people perceive things. My first GF was adopted, and was a great gal – although she broke my heart!!

My wife was adopted

Personally I’m not a big fan of adoption. I figure there is a reason the kid is being thrown away. Another man’s trash is not my treasure. Well I guess it is if you count my wife, just mostly it is not, because I don’t like to be dirty.
