      Schools/teams who use the motto "We Are [insert team]". I get it for historically great teams that everyone knows, but it started to grind my gears for everyone when I saw Kentucky using it yesterday. No one cares that you are Kentucky...

        We get that here with Penn State. It annoys the hell out of me.

          I'd be mad too if the only team I had to root for over there was Temple.

          Have you ever wanted to coach or play basketball at the next level, but something prevented you from achieving that dream? Fret no more. Ask me about SimWorld Hoops to see how you can create your virtual self, and follow your path from the prep-level to the pros.

            It's not a school/team,but still, that post reminded me of:

              It annoys me mostly because I'm not a college sports fan at all, and it aggravates me to hear it.

                When Americans put the $ after the number. You learn about money in first grade. You know the $ doesn't go after. It is $20, not 20$. Other countries with other symbols may put it there, but we don't.

                  Building off that... When people type "$20 dollars"

                  The dollar sign means you don't have to write the 'dollars', people!

                    Not that I disagree because I hate it too when people do the above, but why isn't it 20$?

                    It would actually make more sense considering we don't say dollars twenty. You know?

                    And it would make sense for things like $20 million. Just something I've always wondered. Maybe it's a punctuation thing like inserting a period before the closing quotes in America.

                            I hate when I'm ordering something such as a sandwich "without onions" and the waiter/counter clerk says "uhh that doesn't come with onions". I don't care if the word onion isn't in the description of your club sandwich I'm nipping that s*** in the bud to avoid you having to make a 2nd sandwich without onions.

                              Similar ish bugs me at In n Out.

                              I order a double double and they always ask "do you want onions"?

                              No I don't. But I do want pickles and extra toast. Why don't they ask about that?

                                Because not many people are allergic to pickles and bread...
