Classic Forum Pet Peeves

Like my Sergeant in Basic Military Training used to say, excuses are like everybody's behind, everyone has one.

 

I indeed heard similar in recruit training, all 'spoken' at us by the training team with a loud voice, just to ensure everyone of we recruits could hear their dulcet tones, so caring and benevolent of them.......

 

I took my BMT in 1979 at Lackland AFB, San Antonio Texas. I did 6 years honorably.

 

That's annoying but I don't understand why more people don't just put them on ignore.

 

Everyone has one, and they all stink.

 

I know, you advised me to do it.

 

I just counted and I have 14 people on ignore. It’s a great feature and really does help. In order for me to put someone on Ignore they really have to be dumber than sh!t, blasphemous and / or irreverent, blatantly racist POS (scar, mvc) etc.
Admittedly there’s a masochistic bent and internet addiction, as well. Sometimes one of the usual suspects might actually post an interesting, or I’ll notice that a poster I respect has replied and that piques my interest.

 

How old were you?

 

I was 20 years old, but I started watching boxing in 1965 with my dad and uncle. We all went to the closed circuit telecast of the Ali vs Patterson title bout in 1965. I have enjoyed watching boxing over the years, saw many great fights, took to the great sport of boxing. I used to go Deer hunting as well. I will be 62 on Feb 4th 2021.

 

Serviced served and discharged honourably, it was a relatively short period in our lives on this earth, but it sure leaves a life time of memories and for me at least a set of life skills and values i maintain to this day.

 

And one with 6 on page 1 today as well. I'm picking up what you are putting down. It'd not be noticed if they were quality threads but man.

 

What makes it even more pathetic is he bumps them!

Some people just crave the attention.

 

Yeah it's painful. I don't often notice but meh.

 

Actually his excuse was that his longtime friend and bodyguard poisoned him...

 

People that bump their own threads incessantly
