People with nothing better to do than to tell me “a tomato is not vegetable, it’s a fruit” or “a strawberry is not a berry, it’s a fruit” or some such banality.First – thank you on behalf of the rest of us knuckle-dragging morons for setting us straight. How on Earth would we ever survive without the vast breadth and scope of your knowledge? Say, that’s a pretty nifty Produce Police badge ya got there, Bucko.
Second – other than you, who the Hell cares?!?! Let the 99.99999999% of the population who incorrectly categorize produce have our fun.
Bloody twits.
Now, excuse me while I enjoy a salad made from my favorite vegetable, the cucumber.
Wait …what?
Ummmmm…a strawberry is actually a rose…

On another note: Julian Lennon’s healthy posts that he keeps on sharing on Facebook that are just clickbait rubbish. I love ya Jules and the fact that you manage your own page is great, so good on ya but please stop with the health posts else I’ll have to unlike you and that would be very sad.
P.S Whatever happened to Panda Lady?
P.P.S Also stop liking your own statuses Jules, I’ve been told it reeks of desperation…..or so I’ve heard..

Offline Buying a nice new classical CD and feeling good about it.
Then finding it turns up the next day repeated in that 50 CD set I just had to have – but I only gave the contents a quick look and it ‘seemed’ I didn’t have any of it.
Almost inevitable I suppose – but the next day?

Offline Having more fruit than oatmeal. You eat all your oatmeal up and then you’ve got this sad little pile of bananas or whatever at the bottom of your bowl, and it’s hard to eat them because they’re too sweet without the right amount of oatmeal.

I loathe having lights on in the daytime on bright sunny days. I don’t know why, I just don’t like seeing the artificial light when through the window in the wall come streaming in on sunlight wings a million bright ambassadors of morning. 
I know, weird pet peeve.

I have the lights turned off at night if the tv or/and laptop is on. Fail to understand why you need them turned on when TV and laptop generates its own.
Also ensure all lights are turned off when not in rooms.
Folk who dump their rubbish on the streets or in the countryside instead of putting it in the bin. Hate seeing people’s garbage lying around having been dumped because they are too lazy, selfish and pathetic to dispose of it properly. I stay in the countryside and occasionally see things like sofas, old carpets, household appliances and all other kinds of crap strewn along the side of the lanes. Whats worse is that a 10 minute drive will take them to the local rubbish tip where they can get rid of it legally.
Monetary fines aren’t enough for such cretins. Some far nastier punishment should be used to deter them.

Actually one of my other light-related pet peeves is having to look at bright screens in the dark. It hurts my eyes; I always require lights when I LCD screen.

Right! The trash along the roadways is deplorable. Are all these people driving someplace where trash bins are outlawed? Do they seriously need to hurl their trash out their car window?

Offline Over-zealous forum mods – not here I hasten to add.
One example; I bought a computer game but the manual was missing – the store had no more copies of the game and it was out of print so they couldn’t get more – yes, back in the day when we had game manuals and needed them for complex strategy games. So I went onto the game support forums – I posted my receipt to show I had a legitimate copy of the game and asked if anyone could point me towards a copy of the manual. And was promptly banned for “promoting piracy”??
Two example; on a music forum I won’t mention. George M had died according to Ringo’s Twitter feed. People were posting their RIP comments and the threads were being deleted because there was “insufficient evidence that he had died” – apparently Ringo’s feed had been hacked recently and the mods were cautious in case it was a hoax. Then the BBC announced it – but threads continued to be deleted by the mods (apparently that eminent forum has higher standards of integrity than the Beeb). I asked what evidence would be sufficient for the threads to remain – and was warned and threatened with a ban for questioning a moderator’s actions. I don’t need that sort of hassle and closed my account.
