OK, one more try! Non-sequitur due to the lack of the conjunction “or”..?
BINGO!!! Replace the comma with an “or” and the sentence would be unobjectionable.
People who cause traffic jams by gawking at an accident on the other side of the damn highway.
People who use the restaurant as the name of the food, i.e., “I had McDonald’s for lunch.”
LOL - perfect!!
How about those lovely folks who ask for Chicken McNuggets at a Wendy’s, Chick Fil’A or other such establishment.... They crack me up every time.
That annoys me too.
Things that annoy, irritate, BUG me! And I run across this stuff all the time and it drives me crazy. What is bugging you? (Millee the article you posted wrapped it up really well ... generally, it’s people stepping all over other people with NO thought for anyone but themselves ... selfish, boorish, baseline idiots in other words!)
- people who spit in public all over the place and then I have to walk around their spit! It’s disgusting.
- used car commercials where the local owner does the whole commercial SCREAMING at you! I mute it or flip it, don’t they know that? Do they really think somebody is sitting through all that enthralled with his fantastic delivery?
- Networks that let you watch the first 1/2 hour of a movie uninterrupted and then increasingly add commercial breaks until you think you’ll go mad! Can’t even remember what movie you were watching by the last half hour. USA does this a lot.
- people who allow their children to run all over in public practicing their brat routine. (just in grocery store a few days ago and one family was just nightmarish! One child CRAWLING on the groceries on the shelf, the other one yelling ‘Gimmeeeeeeee!’ until daddy ‘gave’ him what he wanted ... unbelievable. I switched lanes.
- RUDE pickup truck drivers who feel they have the right to tailgate, or go screaming around you because you’re doing five over the speed limit and not 15!
- Advertising JUNK left in my yard and hanging on my door. One in particular is from a chip stone place and they leave a bag of the stuff with a note attached! What a waste and you can’t put it in recycling so in the kitchen trash it goes every month.
Ohhhhhh I’m sure I could go on and on but ... rant over for today.
1. Telemarketers
2. The phrase “ a whole nuther.”
3. Those stupid Burger King commercials.
4. Phones and Babies in the movie theater.
... babies or children in restaurants that scream and throw cracker bits all over the place ... leave the babies home, huh? Babies screaming in planes ... sigh. Love babies. Love children. But don't expect them to sit and behave throughout a dinner which lasts an hour or two and disrupting everyone else's peace and quite that they're paying a good dollar to get!
