You should of mentioned “for all intensive purposes.”
Yes I did it intentionally.
Brake dabbers are not slowing down, they’re not notifying anyone of their intention, they are simply idiots who can’t comprehend that dabbing the brakes (touching the pedal just enough to make the lights flash on) does NOTHING. They are not slowing the car because the tiniest whisper of contact on the pedal does not even engage the brakes. They do it because they have piss poor judgment of distance and speed and seem to think the only answer to any perplexity on the road is to brake. No. Seeing a squirrel on a park bench fifty feet off the road and 200 feet in front of you does not require a brake dab. Someone turning left from a side street when you’re doing 25mph and are a block away does not require a brake dab. If you put on the brakes, FFS actually change your speed, otherwise you’re just being fucking annoying. I don’t want to be behind you getting false alerts from your pointless brake dabbing. Stop it.
Oh, and while I’m on the subject, those fucking fools who drive Camry sized cars who think they need to swing 3/4 of the way into the opposite lane in order to make a right turn are in need of a swift clip around the ear. It’s not a fucking semi, just turn already!
Small font or not, that spoiled the affect.
Effect!
In French, one third (roughly speaking) of verbs have homophonic infinitive and past participle, but they’re not homographs (manger/mangé). It’s probably the most common of misspellings even among natives. Seeing that mistake drives me batty every time - and since these last few years I’ve been correcting student papers on and off, I see it a lot. I keep meaning to red ink “Motherfucker do you not even **understand **your own language ? Do you not see how these two forms of the verb have wildly different semantic meanings ? FUCK !” all over the place.
Whooooosh.
Nah, response appropriate to a thread about trivial stuff that bothers you 
Trivial?
I can’t pause YouTube videos on my iPad with any degree of precision.
The controls they provide are fine for pausing a movie for a bathroom break, but are useless for trying to freeze one specific frame (like where someone puts up a paragraph of text for a split second).
You have to tap the screen to get the pause button to appear; then you have to accurately tap the gnat-sized target in the center of the screen. Meanwhile, if you are waiting for a specific frame, the button disappears in two seconds, so you have to keep repeating this process.
However, if you want to post a reply (which I never want to do) that’s on a hair trigger. Apparently, one can post a reply in heavy leather work gloves.
When someone has clearly deliberately made such a “mistake” for comedic effect, correcting them just makes it look like you don’t get the joke. (I find most of your responses on most subjects stilted and awkward, and this is a case in point. I’m really not sure what you meant with this response.)
People who totally block out the real world when they are on that damn hand held. “Next on line please. NEXT ON LINE PLEASE.” Nope, the next on line is too busy texting to notice.
Whenever two or more people are assembled for a single purpose, put that thing away.
I feel your pain. How do you feel about the same sorts of people who have those little rubber change purses; the bill is $14.53, and first the bills are counted out. You can see that they have another one or even a five, but that just won’t do, so out comes the coin purse and the laborious coin counting begins, as there is nothing larger than a nickel in the damn thing.
An aside: I see your location is Moscow, ID. I went to the U of I there for two years back in the early 70s, and two of my kids were born there. I rented a farm house outside of town in the general area of Genesee. I would imagine that not too much has changed.
When my phone comes within range of my car and Bluetooth connects, it autoplays whatever music it can find. When a phonecall ends, it autoplays whatever music it can find. And there is no way to stop this behavior, either within the phone’s settings or the car software. Pages of people complaining online, problem has existed for years, neither Toyota nor Apple have provided a solution.
Wowzie, dude/dudess.
Nava is a great writer, especially so because English is her second (or third or fourth language).
I should OF also mentioned “one in the same”. Drives me crazy.
On that note, when I used my iPhone’s control center to resume playing an audio book or podcast I was listening to, it insists on playing something from the music application. I had to delete the built-in music application from my phone. I guess I’m the one Apple user in the world that doesn’t care for or give a feces about music.
The level of peoples’ insecurity about there grammatical reputation is just ruining these jokes.
The affect of you’re outrage is loost on me.
When as soon as the seatbelt sign goes off people stand up in the aisle. Even better when they start opening overheads and getting luggage down. You’re not going anywhere until the people ahead of you go so sit down and wait!
I’ve steered a lot of my business to stores with self checkouts for this reason. On the one hand I can’t knock a cashier for wanting to make their shift less boring through a little pleasant conversation, but I just find it super uncomfortable (even worse if they comment on what you’re buying.)
I was afraid it would, but didn’t want to bother responding to humor-impaired “gotcha” responses. Next time I’ll have more faith in my fellow Dopers. Irregardless of the consequences.
