Pet Peeves
May. 31st, 2006 11:16 pm1) The game of telephone:
"Chuck told me that Roberta told him that you told Alejandro that I was stupid! I'm really steamed!" Telephone only works when it is a transcription of an IM or a tape of a conversation - and not always then.
2) All candy, no meat:
"Well, Mr Smith, we really have no use for your novel, but these little quotes you mention in there are cute and we would like them for our greeting cards." Comments on fluff are great, but far less so when there are no comments on posts that had more thought invested in them.
