Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I love shows like that, well I should say that I love all the shows that have stuff that people can talk about. The history of it all is fascinating.

Saying Pawn Stars is fake is capricious and arbitrary. I do not approve.

Empty dump truck drivers who get all butthurt when you pass them or pull away from them at a light. A mile up the road they fly past you doing 80 to show you that you're not as badd as you think.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I doubt that people drag an 8 foot tall wardrobe to an Antiques Roadshow taping, without a pretty good assurance that they will be on TV.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Actually, there's a guy in our warehouse that went. It's like American Idol believe it or not, there's pre-screening of the item you have, you're interviewed about the item to see if it's legit, and then they pick the most interesting/valuable ones and THEN you're put on the show.columbia wrote:I doubt that people drag a 12 foot tall wardrobe to an Antiques Roadshow taping, without a pretty good assurance that they will be on TV.
He said when he went to take a painting he made it to the second round of cuts before he was told he wouldn't be on the show.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
It makes perfect sense, to be honest.
Who knows the cooks they would have to put up with, who would want to bring antique gas station ashtrays from 1996.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Like my step dad. I swear, the dude won't shut up. This is sort of a follow-up to the thing in the Random thread. I will not watch anything with him. Whether there is a historical documentary or a nature show on, the dude thinks he's got all the facts and will yap something out every 2 minutes. Pausing the DVR will not work against him and the encounter would probably end at the emergency room getting the remote control taken out of his throat after I shoved it in there. No wonder my mom divorced him!

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Along these lines, when they say "THE ohio state university" makes me apoplectic. Is there a fake Ohio State University out there that the one in Columbus needs to defend against?canaan wrote:i like playing the "whered he go to school" game. i get mad when they say something stupid or their high schoolitissteeltime wrote:That is very irrational. I think tons of people like to know.Mango Salsa wrote:Announcers of pro football games who tell you where a player went to school. "That's Heath Miller with the catch. Tight end out of the University of Virginia." I dont care.
The ones who say "The U" are irritating but there aren't as many of them anymore.

They teach ALL students "THE Ohio State" day one. It's ingrained in their heads.
Why don't you complain when anyone else says "THE University of blah blah blah"?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
thats not entirely true. i've heard it said a bunch lately, just not as much as tOSU. "THE university of southern california" "THE louisiana state university" have all come up in the nfl playoffs this year alone.Sam's Drunk Dog wrote:Because no one else says it that way?MRandall25 wrote:They teach ALL students "THE Ohio State" day one.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I feel like I've posted this before, not sure, but it is especially making me insane today. When people say the days of the week and pronounce them with an E sound at the end and not an AY. Like Saturdee, Mundee, yesterdee. It's FriDAY, MonDAY. SAY IT RIGHT!
