I don’t know if anyone else has had this, but I hate it when they get a really happy and upbeat song and turn into some emotional piano drivel for an advert or whatever. I can’t find the exact advert, but they did it with Slade’s Happy Christmas and also did it with that Rhythm Of The Night song.

Google Doodles. They used to be a really cool thing that was special. Now it feels like there’s one every other day. Instead of only doing stuff like Halloween and Christmas, every other day is “the 665th birthday of John Q. Supposedlyfamouspersonthatnobody’sheardof.”

Silly Girl griped, half-jokingly

Robert Plant’s sexiness irritates me slightly. It should be illegal to have that much curly blond hair. I mean, the other guys are hot too, but they don’t rub it in as much because they’re busy playing awesomely — which is much more to my liking.I totally agree with you! I also feel the same about Bowie, especially in his Ziggy phase! His stage shows then were a bit too sexy, to my taste. And nearly every time I listen to an amazing song and then stumble on its music video on YouTube, it has sexual references in it – even when the song’s lyrics don’t imply anything near. It’s a bit annoying but I prefer listening to music anyway.
I must say that David Bowie’s act doesn’t bother me nearly as much as Robert Plant’s because Bowie is from Mars and therefore can do no wrong. Just kidding, but his alien-ness somehow makes the sexiness less obtrusive — to me, anyway. You just expect someone that out there to do weird stuff on stage. And I don’t just mean his persona, but also his looks — he looks like some sort of fey creature. Robert, meanwhile, is too good-looking for his own good, but in an entirely human way. I’m not expressing this very well, but oh well.
I’ve gotten somewhat more used to Robert’s onstage antics and general charm-oozing, but it’s still vaguely irritating at times (like every time his hair moves, which is every ten seconds) how damn gorgeous that man was.

Aww, I just love how you are too creative to simple use ‘say’ when quoting someone.
Anyway, interesting way of putting it, you certainly have a point. The funny thing is though that even though Bowie looks like an alien during the Ziggy Stardust period I find him still incredibly handsome as a human. Maybe I’m an alien as well, who knows?

Another pet peeve: Earwax is stuck in my left ear and I can barely hear out of it. This happened once before (not when I came to your door, though), and you wouldn’t believe how irritating it is. As an audiophilic music obsessive, it ruined a lot of late-night headphones sessions until it cleared itself up. Now it’s back

I used to overdo it — read my posts from 2015, cringe but yeah, I was trawling old threads and maybe it rubbed off on me or something. I copped it from someone else originally though, don’t recall who, and made it mine…

Well, yeah, he is* incredibly handsome as a human, but in a very fey way… like his father was actually King Oberon or something.

I thought it was probably you, but I wasn’t sure. Anyway, it’s a bit of a gimmick at this point, so I usually don’t do it. I think I wore it out

When people say things like “Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were great because they influenced Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.” Yeah, right! Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf were great on their own. They don’t need Led Zeppelin or the Rolling Stones to help them be great.

Aux cables. I hate those damn things. They work well for about two days and then you have to contort it more than a yogi just to make it play both channels correctly.

That happens to me with headphones, that’s why I like the ones with detachable AUX cables because then I don’t have to throw out yet another pair of headphones

How most cars made in the past ten years have turn signals that are way too quiet. You can’t hear them over music and/or the sound of outside traffic anymore. If I need to take my eyes off the road to verify that I used the turn signal, it completely defeats the purpose of having a click in the first place.

People that stop walking when they’re halfway up the stairs.
Seriously, people do this ALL the time at my college and it drives me crazy. We only have one set of stairs to get to the other floors, so they’re always really crowded with everyone trying to get to their classes at once. Repeatedly I’ve nearly crashed into people that think it’s a good idea to stop and talk to their mates when there are literally hundreds of students behind them trying to get past.

Or a group of people standing around chatting in the middle of the walkway, forcing me to go around or walk through.

Overlong signatures that often interfere with thanks and the actual post.
A nine-line signature is just stupid, in my opinion, and mentioning no names.
My rule is that your signature shouldn’t be longer than most of your posts.

Could just add in random words/sentences until it gets to the 9 lines quotient.
Does the reply length include any quoted message(s)? What about if an image is included?
