Sheldon would never be able to withstand it.

You mean when somebody...Oh say...goes to Hawaii for months on end without a word to anybody? Like that?

But I always come back. For what that's worth. I think I'll be a part of this board 'til death do us part.

Pet Peeves...

1--Posts that disappear without explanation(s).

2--I don't like it when people pull out in front of me on the road like there is no tomorrow, and then drive way too slow.

3--That time-challenged member of your group who shows up late for everything.

4--People (& the word itself) who use the word whilst!

5--People who are talking on their phone and not paying attention to what’s going on around them, and step off the curb without looking…especially the ones who have the audacity to “flip you” for blowing your horn.

6--Grown folks who think they are entitled just because they share a gene or two with someone.

7--"Ghosting". A hurtful and cowardly way to break ties with someone that denies them closure.

8--People who are always trying to tell jokes; but who, more often than not, flub the punch line.

I have a friend who'll say he will start an activity at a certain time but then start Early just because -why not?

4--People (& the word itself) who use the word whilst!

You know you're opening yourself up for trouble. Whilst_** I**_ don't mind it is your peeve.

5--People who are talking on their phone and not paying attention to what’s going on around them, and step off the curb without looking…especially the ones who have the audacity to “flip you” for blowing your horn.

I love to stand next to those people and curse out somebody down the street.

6--Grown folks who think they are entitled just because they share a gene or two with someone.

That woman spent 18 hours in labor with you ...GUILT

7--"Ghosting". A hurtful and cowardly way to break ties with someone that denies them closure.

See Hawaii above

8--People who are always trying to tell jokes; but who, more often than not, flub the punch line.

The punch line is the most important part. You should tell that first. If you have trouble half way through ask somebody else to tell it. A joke adjacent peeve: People who laugh at their own joke as they're telling it.

So if I disappear for months, that's OK?

You have done that before but you've always come back so yes, it's okay. We do what we have to do.

Wasn't really trying to start an argument with you.

OK. Sometimes it's hard to tell when we don't have the benefit of facial expression and tone of voice around here. I got brave and started a new thread. Would you like to come play in it?

I had one of those growling nastily at my wife. "Oh he's usually very friendly."

"Yeah-so am I."

People who spoil the ending/surprise twist…book/ movie/TV show/etc. Some people can tell just-enough about something they’ve seen/read to get others all excited about checking it out. Then there are thewho can’t stop talking until the bones of a story has been picked clean.

I always wondered how long you have to wait before you can stop saying "spoiler alert"?

The boat sinks.

The hero gets his finger bitten off.

He was dead all along.

She gets on the plane with the other guy.

It was only a dream.

To paraphrase...

Knowing when you can stop saying “spoiler alert” is just like being in love. No one needs to tell you…you just know it, through and through.
