Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.
Feel free to add your own. I'll give two really quick.
1. This girl I'm friends with on facebook makes a post about how s
Is "whole nuther" regional? I suspect it's a midwest thing but for people hearing it for the first time I can't imagine they would understand it.
Fun fact, the official term for sticking a word in the middle of a compound word is tmesis. By far the most common use of it is cursing ("un-****ing-believable", "fan-****ing-tastic" etc.) but you also have the above, and phrases like "put that thing any-old-place".
As for regionality, I'm on the east coast and I've heard "a whole 'nother" for a long time.

i keep hearing t****me****sis and not sure how to interpret it
I'm guessing if you surveyed 100 US born people, the o/u on McIlroy sounding American would be about 1.5.
I’m sure.
To clarify, he doesn’t ‘sound’ American but there are a few twangs and rolls on top of his existing accent where you can tell he’s spent a lot of time there. I have developed the same thing - Brit who has lived in Australia for 20+ years. I still sound British to the Aussies but I sound Australian to the Brits
That always makes me ponder "exactly how long has it been waiting!?!?"
plus there's always the chance that it's waiting there and given out to someone else by mistake.
When Kings dress in suits like King Abdullah II of Jordan.
He should take a lesson from King Charles.
Suits are for prime ministers and presidents. If you're a king, rock like one!
Pretzels (sticks and knots!) in my of course homemade (not by me) Chex mix. Love the addition of peanuts, cashews and Kix, though. Pretzels are cheap filler.
Haven't tried it, but the sweet/salty combo does appeal some. Would they survive the oven?
For a traditional pretzel recipe they also have to survive the boil before they even go into the oven.
As with other stuff that might get runny it's probably best to freeze the peanut butter before using it.
3+ years of hearing about Camp Lejeune class action ads, if you haven't caught wind by now just let it go that you have cancer and don't own a TV or have email.

How about mesothelioma?
I never heard a Camp Lejeune class action ad in St. Louis but have heard dozens here in Colorado since I moved in 2022. Mesothelioma ads have been going on for at least 15 years or longer and of course I had to quit bathing in Round Up a couple of years ago.
The bed bug thread, that doesn't seem to have new posts, but doesn't un-bold when I read it.

The bed bug thread has a bug in it. Same issue. 😆
incredible entry because I have no clue why this should piss you off. Clarify please.
Actually, I think that when the last post is deleted or moved, the link isn't updated to reflect the new last post's number.
At least the software is resilient enough to not crash when it can't find the post linked. Just says, "Well, I don't know what to do, let's go to the first post." (If I'm understanding what I'm seeing correctly).
Most sites that post odds (e.g. pgatour.com) will indicate odds going down on a team/player when the odds are actually going up.
I think it's because people confuse "odds" with "chances", which are inversely related.
There are exceptions, pinnacle for one.
