Mom was right. Words CAN hurt- especially when used improperly.

BTW- I'm a Star Wars guy. And don't tell me you can be BOTH. It's one or the other, like Chevys and Fords.

:r Even improperly on purpose? I mean, I was close for all intensive purposes. :r

I have never seen one of the Star Wars movies, honest. And I drive a Chevy Avalanche. If you tell me you are a Ford guy, I will just crawl in my hole and hibernate. ;)

This is why I am sure to have either Flor de Oliva Maduros on hand or Tampa Sweetheart 500s on hand for fishing trips. I never ever bring anything over $5 with me fishing. Something always happens to my cigar when fishing. This is also because all I usually ever catch is a buzz so add that factor in and it never turns out well for a cigar that's hanging out of my mouth.:D

I'll add one. People who park their cars on their grass when they have a perfectly good driveway.:r Just ball busting although I really do hate when people do that on a regular basis because they are usually to damn lazy to walk the extra 5ft from the driveway. Luckily my old neighbor who used to do this moved. As petty as it was, it drove me insane when I would see that since I break my azz to keep my yard looking good and this guy would park both vehicles on the grass with an empty driveway. It did help keep his weeds from getting to high though.

I am especially annoyed by the cashier telling me how to use the credit machine while I am using it. They will say push the green button and it isn't even to the point where you can yet. They act like it's the first time you have ever used it and I have been using a debit/checkcard since before most of them were born.

Do not get me started on that one! Man now you hit a nerve. That is probably my least favorite expression. Just shout I am stupid and will do what ever you tell me to instead.

- Extreme. Extreme anything. Deodorant is not Extreme, nor does it get a brother laid. Soda is not Extreme. I just want to go back to Awesome. Awesome was truly Awesome.

Slow golfers. I just watched you drive it 150. No point waiting for the green to clear from 200 out.
People famous for no discernible reason. Paris, Bristol Palin, and Kardouchians, I'm talking to you...

Companies that can't be bothered to respond to a resume.
The morons that keep crap like America's Idle, Dr. Shill, Medium, Jersey Shore, etc; on the air.
Cigarette smokers that act like cigar smokers are some sort of lower caste smoker, then toss their butts on the ground.

HUGE issue with me. I understand that they get hundreds of applications. Email form letter with a "thanks for applying" would be WONDERFUL. I feel like I'm sending these things off into the HR black hole, never to be heard from again.

Yep, and when you call to follow up, the HR manager is "unavailable"...

You should live on my road - not only are UK streets narrower than those in the US, but over here, people park on the street rather than their empty drive... making it impossible for fire engines to make it down the road! :su

Part Deux:

People who glare at you when you hold the door open for them

Planned obsolescence

Unraveled rope ends

Bits of fuzz

Mixed metaphors

Blue Falcons (for the Army folks)

People who, when waiting for the elevator, stand right in front of the doors, blocking the way for people trying to get off the elevator

Pop-ups that sneak through the blocker

The use of emoticons in professional e-mails: "Your fired. :("

Movies that have Army Soldiers in them with screwed-up uniforms

Movies that suck that are based on books I think are great

10% ethanol gasoline

Rocks in my shoes

Sand in my shorts

Thorns in my paw

Frogs in my throat

Burrs under my saddle

Bees in my bonnet

Flies in my ointment

People who pronounce English words based on foreign language words in the foreign pronunciation: glacier, piranha, llama, etc.

Toilet paper hanging down instead of hanging over

People who drive faster than me on the expressway

People who drive slower then me on the expressway

That 24-count cases of soda seem to be no longer available where I shop

Teenage vampires

Bananas that aren't ripe on Wednesday, but over-ripe on Thursday

Trash in the river

People who slam on the brakes when they see a police car

Tent pegs that break when you pound them in

Forced mirth

False enthusiasm

Peanuts that are half empty when you shell them

That the wait staff at the Outback have to explain to you what "medium" or "medium-rare" is when you order a steak there

When my newspaper gets wet even when it's in that plastic bag

People that buy a house next to a kennel, then complain about the dogs barking

Miracle Whip thinking it's cooler than mayo. Get real, Miracle Whip.

The seat being left up

Snuggies

People on tele-conferences who don't hit mute so you can hear the keyboard clicking as they "multi-task" on Facebook while I'm stuck in the conference room

Popcorn kernels that don't pop

Klingon-English dictionaries

Spit cans

That you can't find good sweet tea in restaurants north of the Mason-Dixon Line

AND...

Self-righteous people
