Things that confuse/annoy you

[kikie]

Confusing when English speaking people use difficult words. I then have to google these words to understand what they (poster and words) mean.

Indubitably preposterous.

I so despise expanding my vocabulary!

Indubitably

That is my favorite word!

I was verily unadjacent to inklings of analagous riposte in my precedent positing.

Why, good sir, your sesquipedalian remark has left me competely stumped.

Gotta love some of those book titles.

"The Core: Mistress Of Death"
"Hat Styles Of The 1900s"
"Depressing Data"
"Warning Lights: Not Just Pretty Displays"
I can't make out that orange one.

I was certainly far from suspecting that I would want a comeback for that post.

OK, so I've spent the last 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell you actually just said. This was my best guess.

"I didn't think someone would reply to that post."

There has to be more to it than that. :/

Sure Mr, Holmes.

I have to otherwise GTP is useless to me.

Oh yes, rub it in even more.
Ironically, according to Grammarly, @TenEightyOne's post contains a few errors

Spot on!

 

[TenEightyOne]

Pfft, it doesn't

I was (that bit's easy) verily (archaic: certainly) unadjacent to (not in a position where) inklings (the smallest ideas) of analagous (that kind of) riposte (reply) in my precedent (noun: previously placed) positing (declaration of position or fact).

So you and @Obelisk were correct. Grammarly was confusticated.

And then there’s also Muphry’s law to consider...

I love office nicknames...

Don't we all

We've got one guy known as The Pontiff because he's as close to God as you could get.*







*Well in his opinion anyway.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Really good point. I know some people who can't chew hard stuff without opening their mouths, but at least they cover their mouth with their hands.

Well i'll give them points for consideration! 👍 If I couldn't chew something with my mouth closed, i'd at least cover my mouth as well because again:

I don't want to see what someone else is chewing in their mouth, so I don't show them either because that's disgusting.

Table manners these days....

I'm not sure if this is also the norm in other countries, but I hope it is

I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I confuse myself many times here on GTP when I re-read my posts and see that I wrote a lot of mistakes, missing words etc ... .

Same here. I have a nasty habit of leaving out entire words in my posts and sometimes it makes me look a foreigner trying to speak English, when English is my native language. I try to proofread my posts, but sometimes even then I still miss something.

she used to refer to things on Facebook as "Facebooks" ("I posted a Facebook", "I sent you a Facebook"). Old people and technology...

Okay, her constantly using the word "Facebook" like that would probably annoy a lot more. Which I will admit, I am a bit touchy about things like that at times.

*ahem*

...sometimes is makes me look like a foreigner trying to speak English...

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

Something that annoys me is when I tell people I carry two phones, they always go like, "What? You have TWO phones?? Why do you have TWO phones??"

I guess it's entirely impossible to get an upgrade through your mobile carrier's plan and still carry it around along with your new one. I do this primarily in case one of them dies or encounters something it can't do (ex: doesn't have a specific app), I can swap out my SIM card into the other phone, which I'd assume would have more charge or better app compatibility. I used to have my SIM card in a Windows Phone and carry around an Android of some sort because 1) I've generally had very good battery life out of Windows Phones, I don't use many social apps, and I vastly prefer Windows Phone's interface to anything else and 2) If for some reason I do need an app I can't get through the Windows Phone Store (especially now since the whole platform is deprecated), then I can either pop my SIM card into the Android, or open up a hotspot on the Windows Phone and connect to it on the Android (means no down time because I'm such an important, busy person /s).

 

[W3H5]

I carry 2 phones but for the sake of argument one is solely use as an MP3 players and stays on flight mode.

Plenty of business people carry 2 phones or more. When I was young it was usually only weed dealers that carried 2 or more phones.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

I carry two phones as well. One is strictly for acads, texts, and such. The other is for games and mp3

People keep telling me it would've been much cheaper to just buy a powerbank instead and keep it all in one phone, but what they never considered is that both of these phones were part of a sim plan -_-
It's literally cheaper to carry two "free" phones around than buy a powerbank and keep it all in one phone

 

[kikie]

I have two phones almost never have them on me. Confusing? Not to me.

You should get a dual sim card mobile.

 

[Alpha Cipher]

You should get a dual sim card mobile.

Exhibit A

 

[Northstar]

I know quite a few people with multiple phones, their personal one as well as one provided by their employer.

 

[Lameonade]

You should get a dual sim card mobile.

I still think that wouldn't help me in case my battery died or if I needed another app. I don't really have a problem with my service coverage.

1 phone here.

Doesn't ring enough to need a second.

[TB]

I don't want a work phone. Then they'd be able to contact me whenever they want.

/depressing

My phone rings about 4 times a week, and that's always my wife asking if I want anything on her way home.

 

[Adamgp]

I have 1 phone, don't use it much. I connected it to my work email, but nobody at the office knows it is so they can't bother me at home. Teehee.

Mine is, too, but it's for my convenience, not theirs.

 

[kikie]

I programmed my friends is such a way that they don't text or call me on my cell phone. They use emails instead
It was confusing and annoying for them in the beginning.


Oh, to make it even more confusing, we still have a landline that I use as my main telephone stuff.

 

[TheNuvolari]

People saying 'Ashley' instead of 'Actually'. It's really annoying.











Also, my eleventh name is Ashley.
