You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

Another thing that bugs me about certain Youtube videos is the fairly new practice of reversing the image to circumvent copyright protection.
The user will take a clip from a movie or TV show and reverse the image so what should be on the right side of the screen is now on the left.

Is that even legal?  How does that circumvent copyright protection?

It's a copyright violation, it just defeats programs that automatically search for copyrighted images.  If the image is reversed or otherwise seriously altered, they'll pass the check.

People who stop right in the middle of a store's entrance.  It just seems like a bad place to check your pocketbook for something.  Bunch of a-holes...

I don't get how certain things pop up in the related column of videos on youtube. If I'm currently listening to soulman by the blues brothers what makes you think I wanna listen to miley cyrus?

Having to wipe more than 3 times after taking a dump.  I like the ones where its one wipe and that wipe was hardly even needed.

Yes, I know it is.

People who pronounce/spell thrash metal as "trash metal".

I get annoyed with metalheads who condemn Glam Metal just because of how the musicians are dressed. Who cares about how the band looks, isn't the music what really matters? Besides, Glam Metal music is fun! Metal doesn't always have to be dark, depressing and have lyrics about violence and satanism. You need a bit of that optimisim and fun to balance the whole thing.

What I always liked about metal is that it's fun, head-banging music that gets the blood pumping and just generally makes me feel good. Glam metal, hair metal, those positive metal songs that popped up in 80s movie soundtracks. I love that stuff. And although I like heavy, dark metal (as defined in the mid-80s), I don't care for really dark, violent, nihilistic music of any kind.

Really, I get annoyed with anybody who gets their nose out of joint over music, or suggests that there's any reason to like or dislike music, other than whether it sounds good to you. I think many on this board share that sentiment, based on the eclectic musical tastes on display.

People who list sh!t in blatantly wrong categories on Ebay.  Its makes browsing categories kind of a b!tch.

Archeologists who go on and on about how what is important about Indian artifacts is not their monetary value, but the information they contain.  And then, when you propose a plan that would allow collectors to keep artifacts retrieved off public land as long as they were reported to the historical commission, pitch a fit about the "monetary loss to the state."  So are they total hypocrites, or are they secretly putting museum collections on EBay???

Oh yes. I especially hate it when it's a deliberate attempt to look like a bargain at first glance by being significantly cheaper than the items that belong there. It really bugs me when I go looking for a piece of equipment, listing the lowest prices first, and have to go through fifty pages of manuals, accessories and other related crap that have categories of their own.

I can't stand it when people keyword spam on craigslist, like adding keywords that don't apply just so it comes up in more searches, ie, selling a yamaha dirt bike, and putting "kawasaki, honda, harley davidson, suzuki, snowmobile, atv, quad".
