Pet Peeves!

[Kitsune06]

Some people are like Slinkies...
Not really good for anything, But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

You are truly a wonderful woman, CWR. *hug* That saying has a special place in my heart.

Bumper nuts-
I find it really funny that they have a subaru on the main bumper nuts page. I thought Subarus were pretty stereotypically driven by l... ...nevermind.
Also...
Doesn't having an 8" pair of nuts on the back of a big, 3/4-1ton truck make the nuts look really, really, really, just terrifically little and inadequate? (Though a truck that big screams "COMPENSATION!" anyway...)

Pet Peeves: (note: both links contain comics that may be offensive to the sensitive *you know who you are*, so to be fair, you've been warned. )

1) I'm a "grammar nazi". Yes. I know I use and abuse the (...) but when one is accustomed to speech online, the (...) have come to signal a longer pause where the use of a comma would be otherwise inappropriate. Bad spelling makes me sad, but I've come to realize that bad spellers are not bad people. Just, please, remember 'your/you're, to/too/two, lose/loose, they're/their/there'. Think of the children!
1a) APOSTROPHIES!
1b) PUNCTUATION IS A TOOL, NOT A TOY.

2) Stupidity. If you don't know, please ask. I can take all the stupid questions in the world. I can. But if I TELL you, don't turn around and SCREW IT UP AGAIN. There are REASONS why I've had a 6 month long, on and off eyetwitch after starting work as a Security Officer. *twitch*

3) Rudeness/coarse behavior/childishness: If you're over 18, you better act like it. I'm sick of talking to people my age, and feeling like I'm talking to children (No, college is *not* high school with beer and cigarettes!) or worse, someone older than me, with kids my age (or younger) who are acting like children and obviously setting a craptacular example for their kids. Then they go and complain about kids these days. WTF?!

I must come off as a b*tchy something-or-other, but I'm SO tired of seeing/meeting people whose shins are begging for a good kicking, and I'm *always* wearing my steel-toed Docs.
