pet peeves - what drives you CRAZY

[Rugby]

Let me translate....okay....she means

Iz cou stabz er

[elisedance]

so, will someone explain why she has stabilizers?

[Bordertangoman]

Butchery of the English language including:

1) Made-up words (examples I've actually seen include; "relationshiply", "trending")

2) Intentional misspelling (example:  boyz, playaz etc.) sorry, ghetto style just doesn't cut it for me in any form.

to which add; "intentionality" re boyz; this I'm afraid to say started in Wrexzham; namez like Lorence Darrel Barry were reduzed to Loz, Daz, Baz etcz

She must be pretty flighty!

People who go through the express lanes at supermarkets with more than 12 items...guys...it is 12 items or less for a reason. If your shopping fills up the whole conveyor belt, then you should use a normal checkout.

This.  And, on a related note, people who use the self-checkout line when they don't know how and/or have giant baskets full of groceries. A couple dozen items?  Sure. Do it yourself. But,if you are shopping for the month, please allow a professional checker to help you.

doesn't bother me much - mainly because I hardly ever go to a supermarket... Ah, the good life...

I have a sixteen year old boy.  I am at the grocery store every.single.day.  Otherwise he'd starve.  Ask him; he'll tell you. 

[elisedance]

LOL!

Then why not send him to buy the food - or would he come back with some 'interesting' menu items?

[phoenix13]

He'd come back with enough snacks to survive a nuclear winter... but no actual food. lol.

I'm sure you're right - and yet they love to eat food.  I suppose immediacy rules..

[phoenix13]

There's that. Then there's the fact that real food is in the "Mom''s magic" category.   Kids don't have to do anything.  Food magically appears at mealtimes, so their energy is better spent on acuisition of goodies.
