Shit that annoys you

[abraham]

The English Language is under assault in the US. How long it will wither before total destruction remains a mystery.

A simple omission in grammar has become distressingly common, and it drives me up the F*cking wall...

Example:
"FS - Used Lawn Mower. Runs well, but Blade Needs Sharpened."

Hey genius:
Verb-tenses tangled much?
How in the Hell can something happening NOW refer to something which will occur IN THE FUTURE!?!?!
Why is it SO HARD to add 6 keystrokes (i.e."to be_")!?!?!
Is your time THAT PRECIOUS!?!?!

Just makes teeth and fists clench simultaneously.
It's no way to live, I know.

But still...it needs stopped.

.

It's from somewhere. Pennsylvania I think? But I knew someone from Montana who spoke that way so I'm not certain. It bugs me too

That shit bugs me too, and I'm starting to hear it more. Maybe this makes me the prick (I'm okay with that) but it annoys me enough where I will interject and correct someone when I hear it.

She went on the dirt and rock medium

This annoys me.

[abraham]

This annoys me.

Maybe she's an artist?

[glademaster]

"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from my old man. He worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium; a master."

[delco714]

This annoys me.

Annoyed you... She sprayed rocks and dirt and dust all over my car and I with the top down

Then made a dust cloud that could've created huge accidents from shrouded visibility

Fuck!

[The AD]

Maybe she's an artist?

Or maybe the dirt and rocks weren't big, weren't small.

Yes, that's a PA thing. Drove me nuts when I spoke with people from our Altoona office.

Fer? and fer no other reason - wtf... or cuz... BECAUSE AssHole BECAUSE!

Like nails on a blackboard

UM and UM when I UM. Well what I meant was UM... UH yano UH I wasn't sure, then UH...

You lazy phuc. Why are you advertising that your brain is turned off? Do you know how stupid you sound?

[Gepeto]

I'm talking about people that have post graduate degrees. Not the hot dog vendor, or the guy at the counter in a bodega.

[yeahman]

Someone in the office has left their phone out while away from their desk and a number of calls have come through. The ring tone is a fucking christmas carol, with volume turned all the way up. Can we at least wait til after halloween for that?

Anybody who doesn't have their ringtone muted is a total phone gaper. Same goes for notifications. Just mute the fucking shit, nobody wants to hear it.

So I need to run three 100ft CAT lines and I shake the 1000ft box of cable I've had for 5 years and realize there's not enough to make up my own.

I trip over an online wholesaler with Google, who is local and willing to sell me premade out the back door for $12 each.

Today, I'm in the 30" crawlspace under the house about two thirds in to the run and one line is only 70ft long.

Shaving.
Have any guys you know ever done permanent laser removal?
I guess then I can't grow a beard to be a fugitive...

ELectric shaver in the car on the way to work. Easy peasy. Only way to go once you get over the initial mild irritation. I could never stand in front of a mirror with a razor again.

[rideit]

Can't do electric, have tried many times.
I shave in the shower...

[reckless toboggan]

I could never stand in front of a mirror with a razor again.

I'm just impressed that you've mastered the technique of shaving your ass in your car everyday.

Fogless mirror is the key
