      I never even heard of the "Hottest of Hot Takes" until now.

        I guess I'm different. If I invite friends to something at a certain time and you're late, yes it does affect my enjoyment of the occasion because the purpose of the invite was to hang out with that particular group of friends.

        This is why I don't let it bother me when those guys tend to be the ones upset that certain friends are closer than others.

        Well, if your *** got here on time, you wouldn't have missed the 45 minutes of bonding time I had with the other friend we share.

And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

          Let's get this straight. Trolling is deliberate. You are only a troll if you have intentions of being a troll, with the sole purpose of provoking emotional responses from people.

          Glad to clear that up

          Another gear grinder for me is when people on the internet tell other people on the internet to "calm down/relax". Sometimes they might be right, but there is such a thing as being passionate AND calm. Oftentimes, passion is confused with anger. There is a difference.

          This needs to be the header in the NBA forum.

            That one is an internet douche exclusive, I think.

              Im rarely the one to make the plans to hang in my group of friends because I cant stand lateness and cancelling (for lame reasons). I dont care if it was plans for a board meeting or if its just a pick up game at the YMCA. Be on time. Save the BS excuses for your diary.

                People who use the word "douche". Talk about an annoying trend.

                  I don't think douche is a trend anymore. The word has been around for awhile in its current state.

                    Not sure what that has to do with anything, it's still pretty annoying.

                      It begs the question. At what point is a word no longer a trend?

                      As for the word I don't find it annoying.

                            If people stop using it then it confirms it was a trend. If people continue to use it for several years then it's not a trend.

                              It's still an annoying word, and doesn't make a person sound any smarter than the person being called the word.

                                So if calling someone a douchebag or douche goes away in a year or two (can only dream) then it was a trend but it really wasn't a trend because it's been around for several years. What?
