Cool! Not specifically targeting one-day shipping, though.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Lukewarm OJ is the worst.
Try warm seltzer or warm beer...
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Wasn't directed against anyone specific. It's a pretty common phenomenon.
I can't stand it.

What's the issue with it?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Feels like they're raffling off someone's daughter or something.
I guess either you feel it or you don't.

(It is also very questionable from a halachic standpoint imho. But inar)

Not trying to justify any of it, but if they want to cover any guilty conscience they can always claim that it's for tzedaka...

Smh smh
how about an organization that raffles off a chance to go to r'Chaim kanievsky and barely a couple of pages later in the pamphlet for the same ticket price offers another raffle to win a dog, maybe I'm too overboard but a higher level of sensitivity is called for when it comes to gedolei Torah .just my .2

Photographers at events who take a picture every second for the duration of the event. Especially with those professional looking cameras with super loud shutter clicks!

I am not a photographer, but I would imagine that a good one would be able to get a good shot without shooting 10,000 shots.

For accountants: Every single person you meet is like "what's this 1095b thing?"
It's getting annoying and has to stop.
One of my big pet peeves is accountants that talk to you as if you have an accounting degree. If I knew tax code, I wouldn't be paying you!

Correct,
But when using the term "makpid" it sounds like it's just a chumra,
You wouldn't say; Some people are "makpid" not to drive on shabess.
It's a chumra if she's not in front of you

Spreading the Wealth: Masmid Govoha Partners with Schools Across the Nation to Raffle a Sefer Torah  | Matzav.com
This one is not so bad-


"The winner will receive $36,000 earmarked for the writing of a new Sefer Torah. In addition, the winner will receive $1,000 toward his personal Hachnasas Sefer Torah celebration."
