Ever notice how group chat bugs out and stops sending your messages at the worst times?  Like, just now, I was saying on one group that it would have been nice if a different group posted a notice about something.  Then I checked, and found out they did post a notice.  So that means I gave the first group bad information.  That won't do at all, so I went back and tried to tell them that.  Message got dropped.  I resent.  Message dropped again.  I can message other groups, but the group messaging is just very slow.  After about 5 minutes, they finally let me message the first group to correct myself.

That never happens when I say something nice, or at the end of a nice conversation.  It always happens at just the wrong moment, to make things as awkward as possible.  I swear, sometimes I think there's a linden somewhere with a switch that turns my group IMs off and on, and he's laughing at me, LOL.

I feel the same way when it comes to other avatars that appear as a cloud.  As soon as I type "you're a cloud" they suddenly rez in, almost as if my typing triggers some hidden rendering update xD

Now I'm wondering about the consequences of mistakenly typing "You're a clown". :/

   Peeve: when people claim 'Gutenberg invented the printing press' (or movable type). It's about as accurate as to say that 'James Watts invented the steam engine'. Firstly, of course I 'know' that, everyone 'knows' that. Secondly, no. 

   Also, in both aforementioned cases, their actual innovations are a whole lot cooler than the faulty claims. Couldn't go balls to the walls if it wasn't for Watts.

Peeve...inevitability...the quality of being certain to happen...like when certain people start posting in certain threads, certain things are inevitable.  😁

Peeve: The "inevitable" can be a comfort! 

"This pain will end one day." "This baby will be born." "This too, shall pass."

"Yee-haaa! I don't care if my car breaks down, I'm going to drive it until it dies!"

I have to agree here.  Pile-ons seem to be a dopamine high for some, the desire to 'get' someone. It's sadistic.  I would feel too guilty to do a pile-on...would feel abusive.

Peeve: "Vagueness" sounds slightly "naughty" in a subtle way, like "vaguegue".

Not what my post was referring to but in any case I suppose pile-ons happen when someone makes a statement that runs counter to so many people's experience.

Peeve: not realizing that a post about "lions eating bad mothers" is obvious bait!

Sounds like a it could be a good ending of a fairy tale except it'd be the ebil stepmother or maybe even the mother in law!

Peeve: When an employee helps you get a numbered ticket to wait your turn, knows that number will never be reached by the end of the work day, yet doesn't tell you this.
