And also the women who won't eat properly on a date. Dammit, that pisses me off.

Sir! I can guarantee you that I won't piss you off!

"And the word "irregardless". Ugh..."


Me too re:'irregardless'. Sadly, Webster's bowed down to this ignorance and actually added it as a 'real word' to their dictionary.


That, and the constant irritation of people using apostrophes rather than plural form.

Use 's to signify possession. Use "s" by itself to show plurality. Use s' to indicate plural possession.

Ex. "The Smiths live in the Smiths' house. They visited John Doe's house, who was a bachelor living alone."

NOT "The Smith's live in the Smiths house."

Wives who dress like "weekend warriors" or truck drivers, or business MEN....then whine like little children when their husband "eyes" a woman who looks like a woman.

Overused catch phrases:

Think outside the box
150%, 200%, etc.

Yuk!

You know what really burns my butt, though?

A flame about 3 feet high. ;)

People who do not know the proper use of the words "there", "they're" and "their". Why, it just makes me crazy!!

The word "that" can be removed from 99% of all written text and the content will read correctly (I know that you understand!

My mama always told me that you wouldn't have any pet peeves if you would only stop feeding them.

That being said, mine are "there" instead of "they're" and "your" instead of "you're."

No doubt.

And ignorance of rules concerning the use of apostrophes as well.

I hate when people misuse the word "hopefully." I also hate that there is no useful replacement, forcing me to say "hopefully."

Hopefully, that will change.

I own a bus. I love to drive it. I'm an ordinary guy and not a bus company. It uses lots and lots of Diesel. I love burning Diesel. I own guns and carry them often in my Diesel bus and elsewhere. You will burn in hell. I'll be there too.

irregardless. It's not a word.

People who refuse gainful employment.

People who assume the worse.

Professional Victims
