Lower (someone) in dignity or importance. That is the 1st definition.
I'm tired of athletes saying they feel 'humble" after achieving something great. For example; a pitcher throws a perfect game then says it was humbling. I don't think people understand what it means. Please tell me i'm not the only person annoyed by this.

True, but...
you're/your is just as aggravating. It's/its is also bothersome to me, but considering I see it misused in otherwise reputable sources all the time, I can't let it get to me too much.

But honestly, who cares? Do
But honestly, who cares? Do we want athletes to say "oh yeah, I rock. Totally on me, that accomplishment." We'd call them arrogant.
But how about if they just pointed to the sky and said "that's all on the big guy up there." We call those people preachy and obnoxious OR stupid and hypocrites.
Or how about if they didn't say anything and just went about his/her day? We'd say they are aloof and disconnected from the gravity of the situation, that "you need to make a big deal about it for the fans and your teammates."
So yeah, professional athletes can never win because people love to graft their own beliefs on their accomplishments. That's why, I don't know, people probably shouldn't expect athletes to respond any differently than we do to a major accomplishment; with the most personal humanity they possess.
you forgot
To mention that when athletes say this it "begs the question" whether they know your definition. /s

You know what I hate? When people correct grammar/spelling incorrectly.
Example: Some girl commented on something I wrote about the "immanent nature" of something with "Lol considering immanent isn't a word, I think you meant imminent. But we all knew what you meant ;)"
No bitch, I meant inherent. Not impending. Chill out. Same when people correct someone's use of "irony" regardless of whether it was used correctly.
Also there was this one time some guy made an MGoBlog post about the word humbling. Fuck that guy.
So hold on a minute....you
So hold on a minute....you spell a word "Immanent", and when someone corrects it, she's the bitch because you actually meant inherent? I'm not sure I follow your logic
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
Immanent: inherent
Imminent:
Immanent: inherent
Imminent: impending
They are two different words.
You just humbled yourself

This Irritates Me...
Especially when I am in Ann Arbor and trying to find parking for a meeting, scenes like this really gets me going...

I agree with you.
But to be fair, most of the parking situations in Ann Arbor call for a Will Campbell Hood Slide.

Wasn't there supposed to be some new FCC regulation that said advertisers weren't allowed to do that anymore?
I don't remember hearing about it
maybe because I can't hear anything over the commercials.
Maybe it applies to broadcast TV and not cable? Not sure.

And misplaced apostrophes. That's another biggie.

I know everyone's having fun
I know everyone's having fun ripping on the OP, but I've always been confused as to why "humbling" is the word so many people use to describe the experience of accomplishing something great. It doesn't annoy me or anything, but it has always struck me as odd that that's the word so many people use (obviously it's cliched at this point, so of course everyone says it now).
Under no circumstances

Also, you know what I hate? Fortune cookies that offer advice or wisdom instead of predicting stuff, e.g., "Home is where the heart is."
Goddamn it fortune cookie, that's not predicting anything.
"Early to bed, early to rise makes one healthy, happy, and wise."
Fuck you, fortune cookie. That's not telling me the future. I want you to predict that I'm going to meet an important person in my life in the next week, get a promotion, find something I lost, die in a boating accident, etc.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
I'm gonna fucking kill you, fortune cookie. Grow a pair and make a prediction. Not only do you not understand the appropriate function of a "fortune" cookie as opposed to a "sayings you find embroidered on couch cushions in your grandmother's house" cookie, but you don't even cleanse the palate of that gooey, tangy General Tsao's glaze the chicken swims in. Why do you exist?
"A good friend will help you move. A great friend will help you move a body."
OK, that's pretty fucking good, fortune cookie, I'll grant you that. I'm going to let it go this time.
"You know, for a bartender/bookie, you're pretty judgmental."
Speakng of fortune cookies I
Speakng of fortune cookies I always thought it would be great fun to put less than happy "fortunes" in a cookie and watch the results. Fortunes such as "You will die tomorrow in a horrible car accident" or "your wife is cheating on you as you read this" would make for an interesting lunch.
You're the only person annoyed by this.
