My darling, I break mobiles! Oh, wait a minute... was that you? :rolleyes:
 
When I save up my money to buy something I really want, and a few days after I have it I see it again somewhere half the price
 
when i tell a dr whats wrong with me and he presumes the symptom is from laying on the exam table too long.
 
Television journalists with a lousy command of the English language. Example - a CNN reporter this morning, covering Dubyah's visit to the Middle East, and referring to the supposedly imminent Peace Treaty:

"Taking the rhetoric and actually bring about a peace agreement, well, that's a whole nother story."

"A whole nother??" "Nother," frighteningly enough, has made its way into the American Heritage Dictionary. It's now considered okay to use this. I realize that language evolves, but geez...

Wouldn't it have been more grammatically correct - not to mention aesthetic - to have said, "...that's another story...?" It's one thing to use it consciously, as a slangy expression. It's quite "a nother" when it becomes that ingrained.

And while I'm on the topic of language...

I wish someone would explain to journalists *and* to Dubyah that there is only one "u" in the word "nuclear." It is *not* "nucular." :rolleyes:
 
today it was the idiot driver doing 60mp on the interstate, where the usual flow of traffic is 75-80 and not realizing the semi sitting on his ass was trying to tell him to get the fuck outta the way - he moves and once the semi is past, he gets back in that lane having no clue what the hell the slow lane is for
 
People who stop right in the middle of the footpath. Hello, move to the side!
 
People who invade my personal space.

People who say "I could care less". If you could care less, then you care, and what you're trying to say is that you don't care. Therefore, the correct statement would be "I couldn't care less". God, that one is like nails on the chalkboard for me!
 
A snafu'd heat pump and a hubby that's let this go until it's started getting warm again. :mad:
 
people who are ignoring the above poster in game,just to answer what question they want to answer...*sigh* what an attitude /etiquette!

Yes I do check the timing of the post.:devil:
 
When someone consistently posts on new threads telling them that it will be on their ignore list. It's not necessary...
 
ppl who are late
flakey ppl who don't follow through on that they tell you
ppl who answer their cell phones in a public bathroom stall!
 
Dishes left in the sink....but, hey, in the great scheme of things?
 
Oh AND....people who claim to be VERY sexually open and then one thing happens they flip out and the whole friendship ends-- Sheesh talk about being a wuss....:mad:
