FISH OIL. Due to the B12 thing, I have to take Omega-3 to help regenerate nerves going from my brain to the rest of the body. I'm glad I found a strong dose of just Omega-3 without the Fish Oil extract because I can't, just can't, accept fish oil. The smell and the taste. I wanted to throw up when I took it just once. The smell alone makes me gag. I think Satan made it.

It's just poop, man. Poop is funny. I think we should all make a thread here and take pics of what comes out of us and discuss. How fun would that be!?

People who neglect/abuse animals. A friend of mine got a little puppy from a neighbor and the thing was so full of fleas, water was red from blood when she bathed her (several baths over a week). I think the puppy was only a couple weeks old, but my friend didn't want to give it back fearing she would die (my friend was only going to hold the dog for a weekend to bond before taking her fully a few weeks later). The puppy looked lifeless, probably from all the fleas constantly biting it. The woman had two more puppies form the litter and they died a week later. She also has a pit bull she keeps on a chain outside 24/7, no blanket during winter or anything. My friend called the animal abuse people before, but they don't seem to care. The little puppy is all healthy now, running around and acting silly.

I think this thread is for overall ranting about things, most of my things being rational... to me, at least.

People who don't understand how to use LinkedIn. It seems to be broken down like this:

- People who made a profile and then never keep it updated
- People who made a profile, don't update information, but still do activity (accept connections, like posts, etc) I know a co-worker's profile that says they are one title but actually that was their title from seven years ago and they have had three different titles since then
- People who have an updated profile and are active but have goofy profiles. Like one co-worker put their current title in the "headline" part and then in the section listing their experience they have old information so at first glance it looks like the person hasn't worked in six years.

I know some people don't much stock in LinkedIn or care that much, but I try to keep mine updated. I guess I am just anal.

LinkedIn is a fabulous networking tool. I'm pretty happy at my current job, but I get pinged by recruiters probably 3-4 times a month on average.

What I don't like are people who use LinkedIn like regular social media.

I'm not a fan of randos sending me linkedin invitations... if I don't know you, at least tell me who you are or why you're connecting with me rather that the stock linkedin message that gets sent.

I'm guessing it has to do with similar reasons why he bristled at the apparent slight dished out to anime earlier today. :wink:

I have to run some errands now. I'm sure I'll have more pet peeves to post about when I return.
I used to work with a guy who said ath a lete or letic. I wanted to kill him every time.

I don't recall exactly, but I believe I saw someone use the term "Shameless S**tter" somewhere on the internets, and that led me to poopreport, where I believe the term was coined.

There was an older coach on Cowboys' season on 'Hard Knocks' who referred to Martellus Bennett as an ath-a-lete.

when I go to make a joke based on a movie reference and the person doesn't get it or I have to ask if they've seen it, they say no and have to be like "ugh, never mind, you don't get the joke"
