Sunbird she/her Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 On a related note--those posts that say stuff like "1 like = 1 prayer!" or "like/share if you love Jesus. Ignore if you love Satan!" NO. If I want to send someone prayers, I will actually pray for them, and my decision to flood or not flood my friends' newsfeeds with spam memes does not have anything to do with my spiritual status. 1

Or, the more passive aggressive subset of that: "Jesus said, 'If you deny me before men, I will also deny you before my Father.' Only 1% of people who see this will have the courage to repost it. Do you stand for Jesus, or do you stand with men?" Look, guy, if you really think Jesus is going to disown you because you didn't repost one out-of-context Bible verse, then I fear your theology.

ThirdGen Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 The percentage ones are great. "Only 5% of people will see the answer." Of something it's difficult to imagine 5% of people missing. 1

Me too Also annoying are the ones formatted as "stare at this for twelve seconds then type a in the comments and hit enter to discover the meaning of life!" I may or may not have an elderly relative, who I love dearly, who comments on every single one of those. And the maths problems. And all of them. Everything. All the time.

Orlion Blight he/him Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Pet peeve number Euler: people who claim they are going to pay you back, like, tomorrow and then don't contact you forever, make stupid excuses (I just need to check my bank statement first, durr...) and so on and so forth. It's somewhat insulting.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 People who treat an honest mistake like a felony. Especially when the person making said mistake is providing a service that they don't pay a dime for. Just....why? Seriously. Why can't you be polite and courteous for one minute out of the day? 1

Sunbird she/her Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 Ditto what @Elenion said. My mom worked as a retail pharmacy tech for a while and told me about all the chullhat customers she had to deal with, so I make an effort to always be pleasant and patient with pharmacy employees, waiters/waitresses, librarians, customer service reps on the phone, and basically anyone whose job is some kind of service position. 1
+Slowswift Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 This is a tiny thing. It really is. It shouldn't bug me. But it does. Spoiler Why is the flag like that that's not how the flag is supposed to go have you no respect you uncultured swine (In case you're wondering what I'm on about, the flag is backwards. The Union (the blue bit with the stars) is always supposed to be in the top left.)
Sunbird she/her Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 @Slowswift I'm betting it's because the flag is usually in a landscape orientation but they had to use portrait orientation to make it fit on the shirt. If you rotate your head clockwise 90 degrees, the stars are in the correct spot.

+Slowswift Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 I had a reply written, but then teh internetz went kaput and I lost it all. So. Basically, even if you get a horizontal flag, if you're going to hang it vertically, you should flip it so the Union's at the top left. But, while the Flag Code is technically federal law, it's not legally binding thanks to the First Amendment. So, really, you can hang it any way you want, but there is a right way to do it.
