Things that bug you

[line6man]

At the moment, I am most bugged buy:

-People that carelessly use entirely different terms interchangeably, like coil split/coil tap, fingerboard/fretboard,input jack/output jack, etc...

Also applies to homophones (homophoNes, not homophobes. I know someone is going to make a remark.)

I'm sorry, but please leave homophobia out of this.

-Vegetarian animal lovers that won't eat beef, but are perfectly fine eating fish.

-David Spade!
-Outrageous shipping costs on inexpensive or small parts.

-Nancy Grace going on about the same story again and again every 2 minutes on her show.
-Graffiti defacing public property.

I forgot to add that to the list, but it's one of my biggest pet peeves.

Except is also really bugs me when people say "guitard"
I play both instruments.

 

[bmc]

People who ask if I speak Swiss.

 

[lunarpollen]

I forgot to add chihuahuas to my list, especially housemates' chihuahuas that @$%!& leave their urine and feces in random places

 

[jaywa]

I can tell that you really seem to like the movie Falling Down and all, but I hate to tell you, Michael Douglas's character dies at the end.

No, it was just a dream sequence, he didn't really die ...

Hey I can hope for a sequel, anyway.

Then let me guess, he'll show up about 6:25, and then he'll want to polish his guitar, and then answer a couple of texts, and then oh yeah I need to put on a new set of strings, and then I have to tune.... This is when fines seem like a really good idea.

But God forbid you start packing up at the agreed upon END time. Then you're the one who's not the "team player."

Yep. Been there too often. Feel yer pain.

lol......thank god he is no where near that bad. just late. other than that, really cool individual.

I was in a band a few years back with a guitar player who, if his girlfriend called while we were practicing, he would drop everything to go outside and talk to her.
We could be in the middle of a song and he would stop playing, put his guitar down, and run outside to talk on the phone.
It actually inspired the rest of the band to exchange instruments one night and improv a song called "Get off the phone."
The drummer grabbed the guitar, I stayed on bass but also took over lead vox and the singer got on the drums. It was a very death metal'ish screaming, loud and fast drumming, shrilling guitar kind of song that lasted until he came back into the practice room. Most of the lyrics made no sense as I was just making them up on the fly. But it was hilariously funny.
Anyway, guitar players suck.

I had one guy argue with me that there was a Swiss language. (official languages spoken are French, German, Italian and Rumansch)

1) My roommate that thinks that my room is his playground. He'll enter as be pleases and play my XBOX360, take out the fold up cots that I have for guests and use them without even asking, and rearrange my stuff. I can't believe that someone would be so disrespectful.

you should, uh, maybe get a lock for your door
