^ Is it TurnItIn? They use that in my college but I haven’t had to use it yet.

Yeah that sounds an awful lot like TurnItIn. We’ve had to use it every year in Highschool.

Pet Peeve: On Mondays I’m in college from 9-5 but I only have 4 hours of classes. Stupid blank spaces on timetables and living too far away from the college to make going in and out convenient. I envy the people who live in the shit accommodation on campus that’s only 5 minutes away.  

You might envy my planned future situation. I plan to reside at my cousin’s house, which is like 3 minutes away from the school. However that could change, since that’s not for 2 1/2 years.

You don’t write papers or whatever in Irish secondary school so we never had to use plagiarism checkers. My course really doesn’t favour essays either so hopefully I can avoid them more than the typical student. 

 

Also boooo at your living 3 minutes away. My one benefit is I don’t pay rent and I’m about 5 minutes away from a beach if I want to go swimming when the weather gets hotter, which isn’t anytime soon. 

 

2nd Pet Peeve: I finish college for the week on Thursday at 6, which is when all the workers are out and the roads are jammed. I have to try and get across a roundabout which is utter chaos as it’s practically deadlock (that’s now how roundabouts should work….) and even when traffic is moving slowly, no one will let you out, so you eventually have to just throw yourself out into the road and hope you don’t get smashed up.

Every time I see someone with pre-ripped jeans, I notify that them that their jeans are ripped and that they should consider buying a new pair. I usually get a response that involves, “They’re supposed to be ripped, it’s the style.”

It’s true, I will have to pay for half of the power/internet/utilities bills, and I will not be even close to a beach. However, I do understand your hardship. I currently have to commute 15 minutes to my school everyday.

That really pisses me off that modern fashion would be like this, to the point where I think in 10 years this will be hip.

There’s a difference between vintage and old. For example, if this clothing came back into fashion, I wouldn’t mind.

However, no one should buy brand new clothes that are ripped or anything like that, it’d be like buying a brand new car with a shattered window.

I amn’t really that 60’s as regards prints but the cutting of the clothes I wear is very 60’s, 50’s. I much prefer a cute 60’s mini dress to the barely-clothing-you styles you get nowadays. I mean surely you’re just cold, with all the cutouts and crap in your clothes.

Not a logo but the theme for Tales of the Unexpected still creeps me out. It’s one of those songs where you can imagine a killer clown murdering everyone on a carousel, kind of thing.

Hey! I watch this show now and again! a-hard-days-night-john-6 I used to be kinda freaked out by the pictures on the tarot cards during the closing credits.

Some of the ‘Tales of the Unexpected’ episodes were brilliant, many were awful tho I haven’t seen every one. Roald Dahl’s short stories are excellent.

”The Flypaper’ is one of the creepiest and well worth watching.

^ They’re sometimes on Sky Arts and I watch them then, some very good episodes but like mmm a load of crap as well. Luckily you’re able to tell in about the first 5 minutes if it’s going to be good or not. It’s also fun being one of those shows where you try and spot actors on it from before they were famous (same as Midsomer Murders, any Agatha Christie adaption, Doctor Who, Murder She Wrote blah blah).

Pet peeve: It bothers me when people refer to God as “god,” as in “I don’t believe in god.” Zeus is a god, and the Christian god is also a god. But while we call Zeus Zeus, we call the Christian god “God .” It’s his proper name.

It would be more correct to say “I don’t believe in a god,” or “I don’t believe in God ,” or “I don’t believe in any gods.”

Writing “God ” as “god” was invented by atheists to annoy Christians.

That’s something I do…and in thinking it through, it’s at a minimum probably grammatically incorrect. I’m changing my ways!

Thanks. Actually, the name of the Christian God is YHVH, sometimes written as Yahweh or Jehovah. I believe the practice of substituting G-d or God as the name came from the fact that Jews are not allowed to say the name of their god out loud.

There is also ‘GOD’ which is an alternative name and meaning to God , not that I can remember what it is. It all refers to God ‘s different characteristics if I remember correctly.

This is more than a pet peeve but I was told at work that the way to get thru is to say to people what you think they want to hear to keep it all sweet. I’d rather get sacked than bullshit people for whatever reason.
