Fair point, but we have a different thread for that, I think.
(What Grinds Your Gears Thread)
Statuses like what I mentioned? To clarify I am referring to those statuses that people make nowadays that say "copy and paste" at the end. While they're kind of different than those chain letters you mentioned, they're at least related to them. I think I may have posted them at least once or twice WAY back in 2010 or 2011, but I don't do it nowadays because I find them to be pretty annoying.
So did I, one or the other or perhaps both. I mean, I have read the first post before, but not for a long time and I sort of forgot about what the OP said until I looked at it again.
Ah, no wonder that's not being used... I didn't realise it was closed.
Your thread, your rules. I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if you wanted to turn this into a general complaint thread.
I don't think the site can handle the B.O.
If you're going to sit with me and then do this, you may as well find somewhere else to sit.
That's plain disrespectful! Even if it's something hard like biting lollipops it's still not acceptable to chew with your mouth open. EughPeople that chew with their mouth open and/or smack their food while chewing.
This has annoyed me since I was a child and it still does now. I have a classmate at school that does this all the time, I often avoid sitting with him at lunch because he never stops doing this and it drives me crazy. My whole family does this as well, my dad being the worst about it and they know I hate it, but still do it anyways and sometimes will do it even more if I say something. What's worse is sometimes some of them will chew food and then stick their tongues out just to aggravate me, and then they wonder why I prefer to eat by myself....
I get somethings are harder to chew than others, but you don't have to do it every single time. I don't want to see what someone else is chewing in their mouth, so I don't show them either because that's disgusting.
And the biggest problem is, if they haven't learned before that chewing with closed mouth is the normal, they'll keep chewing with open mouth, because they've been doing that for ages.People that chew with their mouth open and/or smack their food while chewing.

Same! Switching up between 2 phones and a laptop really does a number on your typingI confuse myself many times here on GTP when I re-read my posts and see that I wrote a lot of mistakes, missing words etc ... . This is not only confusing because sometime I don't even understand what I was talking about but it is very annoying as well.
You say typo, I say mistakes (in my case of course). I wish my English is as good as a certain smart and well respected member of GTP.Same! switchign up between 2 phones and a laptop really does a number on your typing
I honestly thank GTP for not showing "Last edited" if you're fast enough so no one notices your typo
Agreed, especially with the part about them sticking their tongues out just to aggravate me. How it goes is they will say my name so I will look up at them and then that's when they do it.
My mom gets upset if I ever refuse to sit with my family at the table, which I can kind of understand, but it really isn't that difficult to imagine why I would do this.... Sometimes I have actually spoke out a few times at the table and said "Ya'll do things like this and then ya'll wonder why I prefer to eat by myself!", but whether or not anyone heard me is beyond me.Eh, I want to say yes, however to be fair, which I hate to say this, but I think some people have bigger mouths and stronger jaws than others and it's possible they may be incapable of chewing certain foods with their mouths closed at times. This is not a problem I have, but I can imagine other people do. Still, it would be great if people didn't chew with their mouth open period.Even if it's something hard like biting lollipops it's still not acceptable to chew with your mouth open. Eugh
Yep. If I had to teach someone about table manners, that would be the first thing i'd cover.
Ironically my brother is about the same way. I remember when I was 8, my brother would sit at the bar and I used to purposely sit away from him during breakfast because he would do this and I couldn't stand it, so I sat at the table instead. Weirdly, I think I did it so much back then, that even now at the age of 25, I still have a tendency to do it even though my brother is never around in the mornings anymore.
Really good point. I know some people who can't chew hard stuff without opening their mouths, but at least they cover their mouth with their hands. I'm not sure if this is also the norm in other countries, but I hope it is
This is something that confuses me. When the OP says something like "my thread" or somebody else calls it "your thread". I had always assumed that the terms of service would specify that all content posted herein is owned by GTP. On checking that, just now, I don't see anything of that nature. I've even seen the site owner, @Jordan, use terms like "your thread" in the site support forum.
As far as who owns the content, I'm not sure. I guess I won't be posting any of my songs I've written on here in case it becomes a Top 40 Hit that Jordan claims the rights for and makes millions...
Only kidding.
