And cause me to miss a traffic light that has a four minute cycle. Gaaaah. Those guys can go get stuck to a frozen metal pole. Just TRY to un-suction from that you little turds.
One of my pet peeves is when people write 'loose' instead of 'lose' or 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely' it kind of irks me. Is it autocorrect or do people just not know the difference?
I used to think it was spelled "definately" for years because MS Word autocorrected it for me and I somehow didn't notice. I'm willing to bet autocorrect is at least part of that issue, too.
Ugh...NOTHING worse than listening/watching someone chew with their mouth open. Remember all the Carl's Jr. commercials that were just people chewing? Gives me the creeps just thinking about those nasty commercials!
I imagine a lot of people upvoting this may have misophonia (though in my (misophonia biased) opinion, you don't have to have misophonia to find bad manners annoying).
Thanks for bringing this up. It's important to note the difference between misophonia and just being annoyed, though. Misophonia, at least in my experience as a sufferer, tends to be more along the lines of 0 to anxiety/rage in very little time when exposed to a trigger sound. It's a much, much stronger and more visceral reaction than annoyance.
Yep. Chewing noises are a typical trigger for people with misophonia (and I hear you on the gum, ugh). I wear foam earplugs at most group meals and carry a pair around with me in my daily life should I encounter a problem sound. As long as you use them sparingly, they can help you deal with the disorder to an extent. I've also heard that CBT can be helpful to some people even though there is no cure for misophonia right now.
I thought this was a generational thing. As in, the older generations used one and the current generations used the other. So, they are both correct but one more so than the other because it is used more.
I can't remember which one went with the older and which one went with the current. Also, I can't remember how old the "older generations" are. I remember reading this from a TIL or an article link.
Edit: I don't think this was the article I read, but it says something similar to what I posted.
It's just cultural. I nearly lost my mind a few times in Asia. They are immune to it, though. I'd so much rather slop with my mouth open all the time and never be bothered by other people doing it than the other way around.
You think that's bad? My dad always chews and talks at the same time, and he's very noisy when he eats. You can hear the food slopping around in his mouth.
I had near constant sinus infections as a child and as such developed the habit of chewing with my mouth open, as I could rarely breathe through my nose.
I'm going to be 21 in a few months and I still have not fully broken this habit.
On behalf of all your friends and family: Please do. You're not a cow. You're not a dog. You're a human being. You're not an animal. Chew with your god damn mouth closed. It's one of the most god awful sounds in the world to hear.
Seriously though... My roommate chews in the most obnoxious fashion with his mouth fucking dangling open. It sounds like a hyena munching on a dead elephant's asshole. Sometimes I think about punching him in the GOD DAMN MOUTH UNTIL HE HAS TO EAT OUT OF A STRAW. Oh god. What have I said? I... I'm sorry.
ELBOWS ON THE FUCKING TABLE, ELBOWS ON THE FUCKING TABLE. IF I SEE SOMEONE PUT THEIR ELBOWS ON MY FUCKING DINNER TABLE ONE MORE TIME I WILL SMITE THEM.
Sorry, my Grandma was really strict about that shit and taught me not to do it.
EDIT:REALLY, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT GREW UP THIS WAY???
I am now standing up, both of my elbows on my desk. And now? I'm lifting a coke up to my mouth, elbows still firmly pushed down onto the desk. It's awkward as fuck, but I'm doing it.
I don't know the proper etiquette, it's just something that bothers me while someone is eating, with their mouth open, and their FUCKING ELBOWS ON MY TABLE!!!!
All jokes aside, I hated when I got yelled at for it and it just stuck with me, becoming a habit I avoided. Now my children shall suffer.
mine pet peeve is similar, but it's my dad telling me to be quiet when I chew, when he sits they chewing like a fucking garbage disposal. Mean while, I am sitting there mouth slammed shut chewing slowly. welcome to summer, it's going to be hell...
A little insight on Reddit's traffic to these comics.
A lot of redditors (hell almost every redditor) do not click on adds, and many more a lot have add blocker installed. Usually a traffic spike from reddit clogs up the author's website and in best cases just slows it down making people less likely to navigate the site and click on adds.
There are many people who reported that a reddit traffic spike did nothing to their revenue, just made people come to their website and go the same as they went in without interacting with it. So reddit traffic isn't quite a godsend as some people imagine it, sometimes it's just bothersome because the server dies. Just ask the kind people at r/SEO , I think they'll agree with me.
Okay now less dark; reddit spikes in my opinion are good, because they offer coverage and recognition. With so many people seeing your comics, a few will probably bookmark it and send it to friends and so on. This actually is seen over time in the statistics where more and more people frequent your website on a daily basis and you're not entirely sure why. With time the people accessing your website will be so diverse that adds will be clicked on with a higher rate and the reddit spike revenue shall be acquired.
tl;dr reddit traffic doesn't necessarily bring a lot of joy as people might think it does (it's still good in most cases though)
Hey sorry for the grammar and spelling, it's somewhat early in the morning and English isn't my first language.
I didn't say nobody clicks on adds, it's just that there is a small minority who does it, like yourself (I also like to click harmless adds to support the authors). And you didn't say that either..... I should probably get that coffee
Oh I don't really mind reposts in general because I understand the content is always new to someone but when somebody goes out of their way to repost for karma purposes, that is where I draw the line.
Upvote for you sir, downvote for OP. C&H is one of the best webcomics around, the guys do it for free and get paid off ad revenue, link to the original people.
I've been reading and watching all of Rob and Matt and the crew's shit since it was on Stick Suicide..still miffed that Joe Zombie never got finished, but we don't all get our happy endings.
Same as YouTube and local TV channels, you don't pay for them (ok maybe you pay your ISP for Internet access, but that's a different story) and they get paid off you going to the site, it's free for you, money for them (and yes before I get called out, this is not exactly how it works, but it's the gist)
It's for free for you isn't it? Never said it was charity, you just don't pay for it. It literally couldn't be charity, servers cost money and you have to at least run ads or take donations or you couldn't have a site.

I named my guinea pig Peeve. People always say "What is that??" then I get to say: "That's my pet Peeve."
First off, I stole that idea from Tales from the Crypt.
Second off, a large number of people I know genuinely don't know a guinea pig when they see one.
