when people act like they are too cool to care about a struggling team and respond to a thread by saying "oh, I didn't even know they had a game today".

"I'm too lazy to read through X number pages/look X thing up, someone just tell me."

People who don't know where the apostrophes are supposed to go.

 

It's the '80s, not the 80's. Also, '10 stands for 2010. It is not 10'. That would be 10 feet.

Wow, I totally did not know this.

People who think their first amendment right to free speech means they can say whatever they like on a message board.

This may not be intended as such but I have one specific poster in mind. I know they are well-respected and have the Sox best interests in mind but it definitely irks me as well. It's overplayed: we get it- you're upset with Ozzie and a few players, get over it. I say this all knowing full well that I don't post often but I do read every post in the PHT forum every day; I just subscribe to the thought that if you don't have something truly productive and insightful to say, don't say anything at all.

When people don't agree with me. I mean, I'm here because I want to be, the least you can do is agree with my every thought!

^^^^^ To all of these posts.

 

Wow, just wow. Their are some good wons in their.

I hate the grammar and spelling police. Does it make you feel smarter when you correct people?

 

I also can't stand game threads.

 

 

People who confuse "I could care less" with "I couldn't care less."

 

 

 

 

That is a good one.

 

 

 

When people spell ridiculous wrong. It's not rediculous!

people who don't let a f***ing argument die, when it's one poster's crusade against everyone else and they have to reply to every single post on the topic and argue it vehemently (this happens several times a year in PHT).

 

In the same vein as above, hijacking every topic and turning it into the exact same argument again, and again, and again, and again for weeks, months, and sometimes across seasons. A few years ago it was about whether Anderson sucks and if so, how much. Not too long ago it was on keeping Crede or moving on, although this was more of the paragraph above. This past year it's been about getting rid of Hudson for Jackson.

People who use the qualifier "not to be a dick, but..."

Why yes. Yes it does.

People who don't know how to use the quote function when responding to a specific post.

The rolling eyes smiley...

People who spam up their post total in the game threads . . . which should be pretty soon.

I think most of my pet peeves were touched on here. Bad grammar bothers me more than bad spelling, but I dislike the grammar police posts, too. It's a message board, and I think if the point gets across, the point gets across.

 

So, the pet peeve that bothers me the most where I don't feel bad complaining about are the posts that are obviously made to pick fights.

Who is "thou?"

 

Thou RLY?

Sqwerts, be they Big or Little or Medium

Or Hershey.

People whose need for attention is so great, that they intentionally take one silly extreme or another in an argument to make their point. Pretty much ruins any chance of discussion.

 

Similarly, posters who go into a thread where everyone is pretty much agreeing on something, see the chance to stand out in some way, so they say some assinine thing like "I would have kicked that puppy too. Who cares?". Which is inevitably followed by people getting all up in arms, like "puppy kicker! How could you?!?!?!", not realizing that was the exact reaction they were going for.

You started the thread by complaining about something done by a WSI poster.

Hahaha...Lip isn't the only one that does it though. I just picked him cause I figured some people know who he is.
