Words, Phrases and Other Stuff that Annoys Me

[cv91915]

NFCU threads.

[cv91915]

Discussions about cards with "Chip & PIN" or "Chip & Signature" technology, which do not include a prominent statement about how horribly inconvenient they are to use compared to a card with a magnetic strip, a statement that the only real benefits are to the issuer, the payment network and/or the merchant, and a statement that if you don't travel internationally you don't need one.

 

Optionally, for the last item, it's also ok to suggest having a Chip & ____ card in the sock drawer, to be used for infrequent visits to other countries.

I've had family in Hawaii for years. Mostly true about the Hawaiian shirts but the local women often wear a muumuu, usually in the more muted prints. I hate them however!

Two that drive me nuts, usually in spoken form:

 

 

You ASK a question, you don't AXE one...

 

When you are giving more detail you are being SPECIFIC. The PACIFIC is an ocean.

 

 

Also:

 

Bumper stickers...and especially those stupid window stickers showing how many kids you have. I don't care that you're late night Budweiser fueled romps produced 3 future Walmart cashiers...

Web sites that want me to download their %$@^$%^@ app, especially the ones that are relentless about it.

Agree with these 100%. Use my phone a lot during the day on websites. Always choose full site. A few of them force mobile/tablet...then make you go through a tweaks to make it work.
