I really hate dog videos that have closed captioning for what the dog is thinking and they have the dog speak in grammatically incorrect English and with poor spelling. Give dogs credit, people! Dogs are capable of using 'Human' and not 'Hooman'.

I don't even know if I've ever seen what you are referring to. But I have a bigger peeve....and that's people who abandon pets somewhere...just watched a video about a husky who was abandoned and then was trying to run after the car that abandoned him. So sad....fortunately, someone captured this all on their phone camera and now the husky is in a foster home and I think the foster home family will likely adopt him.

I watch those videos all the time - pet rescue kind of videos. I like the legit ones where you get a nice background about the foster family and shows the dog's progress over time.
Do you know that sometimes people stage pet rescue videos? They do it for money! Because they want hits! I never knew that until one day I watched a video where men were saving a puppy from a den of snakes. When I read the comments, the people commenting exposed that some of these videos are staged and that the puppy was likely put in there so they could film him being rescued! They pointed out all the ways the video was unnatural. I was convinced. Now I'm afraid to watch those videos in case I'm supporting such evil behaviour.

There are hundreds of thousands of videos where they make dog closed captioning all grammatically incorrect. Here's one example... It's a cute video, but I wish they visualized the dogs speaking properly.

I admit that I don't really care for the tactics of the ASPCA, which is asking for money seemingly about every other commercial break on Antenna TV. They play really sad music and show dogs all shivering in the cold, tied up, etc. I know this is how they raise money, but it seems to me to be a bit much. I think they could highlight one animal's real story, maybe show a photo or two, but not try to use quite as much emotionalism.

Yeah, I don't really get it....are they trying to make the dogs seem like little kids who mis-speak? I suppose people think it is cute, but I agree with you....would rather have the dogs' "comments" just be in correct English.

I find it so annoying. And inaccurate. I mean, if my dog had an inner monologue, she'd totally speak English that is grammatically correct.

Not having anything go right for me in my entire adult life has gotten me just a wee bit cheesed off, lemme tell you.

Oh, Bert, I hope that you are exaggerating or being funny and that it is not really true that nothing has gone right for you in your entire adult life!

I have no idea if you're being serious or not either, Bert. You always say sarcastic and funny comments and play with irony... You can't be that old, Bert... Are you? How long have you been an adult? I'm sure there's plenty of time for things to start going right.

Just heard that the ASPCA is potentially in trouble because a large percentage of their income (donations) goes to fundraising....probably spending all the money on those ads that I don't like!

I thought of another one. Selfies taken in the mirror.
I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE the pictures people take in front of a mirror with their cell phones.
It makes my blood boil.
I esp hate selfies men take of themselves at the gym with their cell phones in front of a mirror.
Selfies, period, are narcissistic and stupid, but the looking at yourself in a mirror selfie frustrates the heck out of me.

I can understand snapping a selfie perhaps when you are a tourist, like you may want to see yourself standing in front of the Eiffel Tower or something (but back in the good old days, you would just hand your camera to some other person and ask them to take a photo of you. But I don't really see the need for people posting selfies of themselves in front of a mirror or typically just at their house unless they want to show a new outfit or a new hairstyle or something....but even then, does anyone really care? Maybe they do. I just don't really understand why people want to spend their time looking at photos of everyone....they could be doing something useful, like spending their time on the A-TEAM forum!!

How about when you're driving home from somewhere and get stuck at every red light? That's pretty annoying, especially if all the lights on the way there were green.
