'Enjoy' WTF is that supposed to mean? If you can't put together a coherent reply and have to resort to this latest abbreviation and dumbing down then stay silent. I hate it in restaurants and loathe it here. Rant over, as you were.
Happy clapping progressive lefty types, they seem to be everywhere these days, and not growing out of it as traditionally used to (and should) happen. That, or I'm a grumpier old man than I may have realised.
They should be on a yoghurt knitting forum instead, with all their being nice all the time, everyone is a winner (yay) and happy clapping nonsense.
We are mainly middle aged (with some older fossils) men and should be grumpy and hate many things.

Also threads where someone has made a mistake (e.g. they misread the OP) and instead of saying "whoops, I misunderstood/misread/focused on something you weren't actually talking about so I can flex this piece of knowledge I recently acquired" just doubles down again, and again, and again.
I've got to disagree with this one - watching somebody choose to die on a completely indefensible hill is one of the great pleasures of internet forums. As an Alan Partridge fan I think of it as the 'Worth of Boast Worlds' strategy.your wrong

Someone a year or two ago was asking how to do a pond delete in their garden.
EGR delete. Cat delete. Just no, mate. It's EGR removal or bypass. Same with your catalytic converter.
Particular favourites to grind my gears, as already mentioned, pull the trigger on, wrist time and any poor grammar or spelling.
