Arrgh!
My mom is a newbie. A noob, a n00b, a newb, a nub, whatever you want to call it. The fact is, she's been annoying the hell out of me!
She sends me about 5-10 chain and spam e-mails each day, all with her "Oh-so-humorous" comments. Her messages are littered with u, r, 4, and other manglings of the English language. She signs everything "yo momma", and has an extremely annoying habit of using either all caps or all lowercase. She'll "yell" at me - use all caps in an e-mail of only lower case, to emphasize just how vitally important that word really is. I had spam-blocked her e-mail (it's THAT bad) for a few months, but it's "mysteriously" back on my safe list.
Plus, she does elipsis after elipsis after elipsis. ....... ...... .. ..... ..... .... ............................................. Arrgh! She can't even put the right amount of fucking dots! She refuses to punctuate properly. Multiple, excessive punctuation marks (!!!!!!!!!!!!), double-commas (,,), random semi-colons (i; like birds), question marks that seem to be placed precisely to make my want to punch my screen (i like???? birds), mangled contractions (cant' do'nt wont wouldnt) and she LOL's everywhere!
And then (to top it off)...
She has the fucking nerve to tell me at dinner last night, "I'm glad that I'm so funny." She proceeds to talk about how lucky I am that she has such a good sense of humor and she's so loving, etc, etc. The fact is, 15 years into being my parent, she ran out of jokes three years ago, and semi-amusing stories at least four years before that. Every morning she says "Be prepared to hurl yourself out of a moving vehicle" before she drops us off at school. Every single goddamn morning for the past 5+ years. And she still thinks it's fucking hilarious.
Jesus! I get sick of it sometimes.

Grown adults should definately know better. It's really sad that they don't.
