A thread for people to bitch about their pet peeves.
(YEAH< I Just went Inception on this thread).
In truth, I don’t really have one.

I’ve been having major irritations with irregularities in pitch lately.
*translating into layman’s terms– please wait*
Basically how it goes is this:
- Tune my guitar to a tuner.
- Put on the favourite Beatle record to play along to, and discover that whatever the Beatles’ E note was, it wasn’t the same as my E.
- Re-tune the guitar.
- Play along with song.
- Put a different Beatles on and find that their pitch in ’69 was different than it was in ’65.
- Re-tune guitar.
- Play along with song.
- Put on some Harrison and find his pitch was different from the Beatles circa 1969…
You can see this gets annoying after a couple rounds; it spoils half the fun to have to re-tune one’s guitar every other song. Especially with Sgt Pepper , which seems that every track is a different shade of flat.
It makes me not want to play along with the recordings! WHY CAN’T THE WHOLE WORLD TUNE THEIR GUITARS TO THE SAME A?!?!!!
And no, I do not want a calm voice of reason to tell me that the above is irrational. I am in the middle of ranting right now and would like to rant on undisturbed by pesky, fiddly things such as reason.

Ha. Not only that; I can never tell what malady they are designed to cure. (Except the ones featuring people in bathtubs and eyeing each other ravenously–I can figure those out). BTW, why is it considered sexy to bathe in separate tubs, even though you are holding hands across the gap? I can’t imagine that @Ahhh Girl would be content to stay in her own tub if Macca was in the one next to hers.
I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Right! When listing the side affects, the spokeperson will say something like “…whch could lead to a stroke, heart attack, death, and…”.
What do you mean, AND??? You just said death! There is no “and” after that. If a side affect is death, I’d rather have the bad skin, diabetes pain in my feet, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma and the dreaded erectile dysfunction.

Yes there are, one is getting eaten by a swarm of midgies when you’re out in the garden.
There is also a fate worse than a fate worse than death – see 17:31 – 17:50 in the video in the spoiler. Or you could put your feet up and watch the full 29 minutes and 1 second, it would be time well spent.

People who say “ek cetera”.
Do those same people “aks” you questions?
And while we’re on the topic of annoying mispronunciations, allow me to add: When people say something with a ‘ing’ but drop the G– ‘sometheen’. Also when people skip T’s in the middle or end of words… it’s more than a li–le irrita–ing.
I don’t need you to speak like a thespian or anything, but surely it wouldn’t be too much to ask of you just to pronounce your T’s and G’s, please!
