You are typing to communicate. If you can't afford me the courtesy of doing it right, it's the print equivalent of standing too close to me and spitting when you talk.

I've been trying to phrase the same thing for nigh on five years now and haven't been able to do it as well. Well played, hombre.

[Cyzyk]

That's why I follow an ignorant slut like you from forum to forum. Someone has to keep you supplied with quotes like "Stone? Isn't that how Chyld measures weed?"

[Slade]

Cyzyk: We call them capital and lowercase letters.

Spoon/Orator: Yeah, it's technically just obsessive-compulsive, but you could perhaps say "I have a little bit of OCD" and change even less.

[Cyzyk]

Yes, we do call them that, but I suspect they don't. They clearly don't know the difference, so I decided on using some easy-to-understand words.

[Slade]

But no one here is they.

[Spoon Poetic]

Actually, I know of at least one person who is. Though I won't go pointing fingers. *points an elbow*

[Gobbler]

Oy, take that thing away from us, that's pretty rude.

Le gasp! Right, elbows! *rushes off to make some more sketches*

[Deepsycher]

I hope someone is not meaning me here. My opinion: How do I not know that someone here might appear non OCD but actually is in reality or except they might not even know about it. I'd say it is in everybody. There is a reason for actions and the problem in my place is that the callers don't even bother to ask why. Typically someone who was brought up away from screens may ask: Why do you look at that screen for 3/4 of the day? and people who can't be bothered to ask may say "Well that person is obsessed and has a problem."

I know some that are they. Schools, early college and Uniforms in my place:

Do as you're told and speak when asked.
Schedules always have to be the same.
Lining up to the door for 5 minutes.
Uniforms and tie.
Work is so structured but doesn't consider that not everybody works at the same speed or knows the same stuff.
They care more about decoration of things than the actual teaching.
Hence pretty and trendy.
If you don't look pretty we'll throw you out!

All pointless things I can't understand because they never helped me to what was important neither did the people who enforced them couldn't care less about explaining apart from following the Jones so I'd say that the list above IS OCD. The most hypocrisy is that they go round calling some students OCD on the said value when they do exactly the same.

Now do you see why the term shouldn't be used on people?

Now I've got a headache...

[Slade]

DS: You raise a few very good points. Many psychological problems are considered problems because a collective says so, and sometimes that reasoning can very well be simply because it is taboo or foreign to that collective, rather than because the malady is actually harmful.

[SimeSublime]

I hate people using the phrase "Me and ...", for example:
"Me and Matt went to the shops". Everytime somebody says something like that, I instantly cut in with "Matt and I went to the shops". I'm on a gramatical crusade!

[Spoon Poetic]

Haha, I hate that, too. I'm in the process of breaking both my brother and my dad of that habit. Especially since they slur their words together and it sounds like "Mean Tom played Tag." So I ask my brother why he thinks Tom is mean, and stuff, and it's working pretty well. Dad, on the other hand... I don't think he'll ever learn.

Edit: Stupid crappy Mac keyboards make me accidentally not type letters.

Another pet peeve: The single birthday thread.

I understand the reasons for it's inception, I just don't like it. It's generality lacks the persnal feel of singular threads. So please people, don't feel bad if I don't post in it.

Edit: I'm also trying to re-enact this scene whenever it rears it's head:

Aww... You can still make your own if you want to, I guess... Or I could change the title every time it's someone else's birthday.

Pet peeve: People who mispronounce words. Nuclear has two syllables, damn it! It's not noo-ku-ler. It's nü-clear. And I want to stab people in the face every time I hear someone say "hamburg", referring to the beef patty. IT'S A FUCKING HAMBURGER, NOT A CITY IN GERMANY, YOU IDIOTS! PRONOUNCE THE THIRD SYLLABLE SO YOU DON'T SOUND AS DUMB AS A POST.

That is all.

[Gobbler]

Bwaaaa~hahah~ahahahaha~haa! Nü-clear! *rolls around laughing* Nü~clear. *mad giggle* Heeeehaheheahaehehehehhurrhurrhrrr. Ohohoho! That's just too much... *wipes a tear from his eye*

And yes, people who simply say "hamburg" appear a little disgusting in my AHHhhhhhhhhhaahwhahahahawbwaaharrharrharrrharr! Umm, ehem. Sorry. Nü~~clear. ... appear a little disgusting in my eyes. I saw what roams the street there at night. Not pretty. And certainly not something you'd want to put on your- OH DAMNIT Nüclear! Ohmigodohmigodohmigod! Heheheheheheeeeaahhaaahaaa... *sigh*
