When the first 5 minutes of a support call is spent just on verifying the account  >:(
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

adding 80(!) amex offers to your card to see all of them, only to find that you aren't eligible for the one you were looking for

Not having a towel next to sinks used for washing hands.

The poor man has been complaining about this for years.

It's a good thing I don't own a gun the amount of times I hear complicating instead of complicated. Though not as bad as same like instead of same as.

-1

I find the former worse (maybe because I'm exposed to it more). It's extra annoying when you hear it from someone close to you.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I've actually started doing something about the lack of paper towels in 770 on weekdays. Anyone interested to chip in for the zchus can PM me.

Ah, you sponsored the paper towels during the weekday? Yasher koach!

Someone who asks for DDF people to vouch for me in DM. Agrees to a deal and then flakes because I was kind enough to explain the process in which they could make more money than I was offering. But I'm the one that needs to be vouched for...M'kay.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Me: simple question
Website that has the answer: "The dictionary defines yada yada yada blah blah blaaaaah........................"

Recipes are notorious for this, but look at this stupidity, which came up on my search "can bunnies eat ginger":

Quote
Can Rabbits Eat Ginger?
Ginger, botanically known as Zingiber officinale, is a herbaceous flowering plant featuring a fleshy rhizome or ginger root used as a spice and in folk medicine. It shares the same family with turmeric, cardamom, and galangal. 

Native to Island Southeast Asia, its stems are made of folded leaves that shoot from the rhizome and have narrow-bladed leaves. On the other hand, its inflorescences that grow separately from the rhizome and have yellow petals with purple borders.
 
Is it safe for rabbits?
Yes. Ginger leaves, stems, and roots (rhizomes) are safe for rabbits. They will not cause any toxicity or poisoning. However, being pungent and spicy with a strong peppery taste, your bunnies may not like its strong flavor.

Gosh.

'Skip to Recipe' buttons should be mandatory.

Because I have a bunny and I have some leftover ginger. Not sure how many other possible reasons there would be ;D
