Pet peeve of the week (1 Viewer)

[superchromix]

This may sound silly, minor, and trivial, but there’s something that’s been bugging me in the PCF classifieds lately...

“Catch and release”

WTF people?? You bought some chips. Now you want to sell them. Fine, no problem. But WTF is with this “Catch and release” BS? You make it sound like a cool new chipping trend or something. How about just listing up the chips for sale like in the good old days, without the need for this “catch and release” flourish? I for one could care less if you’re “catching and releasing”, and I’m sure most on this site would agree.

I think it’s to indicate that one is not flipping the chips they just bought and offering them back to the community at cost.

Perhaps, but that doesn’t make it less lame

Just an fyi don’t anyone take this thread too seriously..

I’ve always read catch and release to indicate a couple things. Most importantly that hey, I just bought these, you can look up that I just bought these, they didn’t make it into play much, you can double check my description and wear across another user, and I’m just looking to sell for the same price I paid.

I guess it’s no different than saying, “Hey I just bought these but will be passing them along,” but maybe just easier/shorter.

I don't understand the term 'release'.

 

[SiouxperStack]

I always assumed "catch and release" means they are not being flipped. I could be wrong but either way I'd say threads like this one are far more annoying than a catch and release thread. I may be alone on this but that's just my opinion. Rant on, good sir!

 

[johnjohn]

It's the new way of articulating "getting samples" and not digging them when they show up. now multiple catch and release of same chip...not so sure.

My pet peeve is those that say, "could care less". This indicates that you actually do care. If you couldn't care less, the you don't care.

The one that gets me is “chomping at the bit” (it’s champing)

Mine is "intensive purposes."

 

[Darthhoodie]

For all intensive purposes I'm chomping at the bit to catch and release this thread. Irregardless, I could care less.
Thank you and good night

Seems like the bit could also be chomped on, at least in principle.

I could switch from „catch and release“ to „easy come, easy go“, if you care a lot

 

[ReallyGoodUsername]

all the language that basically states “I have 0 idea if these chips are mint but they haven’t seen play and they look pretty new so let’s call them mint!”

just let the pictures stand for themselves

 

[liftapint]

You have a pretty good life, if use of the term "catch and release" is an important problem for you!

Edit: But I do get it, because they're there their drives me insane.

 

[superchromix]

Once more, don’t anyone take this thread seriously.. it’s just meant to poke fun

 

[APatHand]

"I could care less." vs "I could NOT care less."

Yep! Correct usage:

Their are a lot of people who think they’re grammar is better than yours, but there probably just jealous of you.

The alot is an imaginary creature created by the author of the blog hyperboleandahalf back in 2010. If you have a few minutes and want to learn about that majestic creature, read below. It made me laugh. YMMV.

I just bought some chips, but I am going to catch and release if their not in near mint condition.
