People who list sh!t in blatantly wrong categories on Ebay.

Does Ebay sell THAT too now?  Wink


Probably not, a few years ago they nixed an auction for breast milk. (true story)

people who takes children's games waaay to seriously. it is NOT the end of the world, plus, if they are so serious about the game, why not make a group and play with adults in their age range, that'll teach 'em what playing the game means, with their kids complaining about how their parent's performance is!

Because they're boring "kinds" names, everyone is called those names. I know I'd give my "kinds" stupid names.  Wink

More annoying are the people who give their kids regular names, but get fancy with the spelling. Just because they want to be pretentious, their kids are doomed to a life of constantly getting their names misspelled or mispronounced, and correcting virtually everyone they meet.

What makes that even worse is when they don't at least pay attention to the way letter combinations are normally pronounced in the English language. If you decide "Gabby" looks better with one B, you've just changed the pronunciation to "Gaybee" as far as most English speakers are concerned. A name like Hilleree looks ridiculous, but at least it works phonetically. People will pronounce it the same as Hillary. Substitute Typhane for Tiffany, and people aren't even going to recognize it. They'll pronounce it like typhoon with an A in the middle.

There's quite a bit of both ignorance and arrogance in this practice, as far as I'm concerned. And it doesn't even make a lot of sense. You want to give the kid an ordinary name but go crazy with the spelling? Make up your mind. Better to just pick a real name not many kids have, and spell it right. There are an awful lot to choose from.

Because celebrities are allowed to be idiots. What kind of normal person would name somebody apple or pilot? I understand you want to pick a name no one else has, but you're going to far when you pick off the wall names.

Agreed on point one, couldn't care less on point two. If he resigned, he resigned. I lost interest in college sports a long time ago because it's been a business for many years. I might as well watch professional sports.

Not really grinds my gears, but annoys me: Why do girls always got to have the latest fashion trend? I'm a guy who doesn't care about the expensive name brands, just buy the regular trend. I also don't understand why some people pay hundreds of dollars for a pair of shoes..... Question
