Little things that bother you, and are also INSANE.

I’m firmly convinced that O is placed too early in the alphabet. It shouldn’t be by N, it should be a bit later, around T or U.

I’m glad I could finally get that off my chest.

I hate, hate, hate when company names use text message speak in their company names. For example, there is a small Toronto cheque cashing/money lending place called “CA$H 4 U”. Besides replacing the S with a $ (another pet peeve) it’s like the company is trying to be hip and cool and appealing to today’s net-savvy customers, but in reality they just look retarded and cheap in a shady sort of way. I see their signs and want to change it to “RIP U OFF”

Oddly I have no problem with U-Haul. Maybe that’s because they’ve been around longer than I have and I’m used to it.

I also have a totally irrational hatred for kids who wear jeans with the ass sagging a foot too low.

He is probably lying . . .

I’ve got a trick for you with the 9’s. I’m mathematically challenged too…but this trick helps me with the 9’s.

09 (next is one more than 0 with one less than 9) 18 (next is one more than 1 with one less than 8) 27, (one more than 2 and one less than 7) 36 and so on.

09
18
27
36
45
54
63
72
81
90

0 to 9 on the left and 9 to 0 on the right.

Hope that helps!

You don’t need the gloves and the box feels better.

A win win situation.

Y’all reckon?

See post 20. :slight_smile:

Today I throw a ball. Yesterday I threw a frisbee.
Today I will blow my whistle. Yesterday I blew my horn
Today I know the answer. Yesterday I knew it too.
Today I will mow the backyard. Yesterday I mew the front.

Take that ya bastids!

I cannot stand the noise people’s throats make when they swallow. Just can’t bear it. Sitting near a noisy drinker makes me feel murdurous.

I HATE it when my 51 year old coworker excuses herself to go to “the little girls’ room”. It makes me crazier than usual.

Newspapers. They’re HUGE. Who can hold/fold that thing the way they want it and have it look nice? It’s ridiculous to have a book-like material that’s printed on giant pages.

And that the sun comes up really low in the sky and rises during the morning. That’s stupid. The sun should just be in the middle of the sky and get bigger as noon approaches. I’m cool with sunset though.

's yer fault for speaking English. In Spanish it’s a double-vee.

When people add redundant nouns to acronyms, like “ATM machine” or “PIN number”. No, no, no, no, you freaking morons! Can’t you stop to think for one little moment and realize you’re actually saying “Automated Teller Machine machine” or “Personal Identification Number number”?!? Gah. I wish to reserve the right to smack these people in the head. Unless it’s an actual banking employee that does it, in which case I wish to reserve the right to kill them and take all the money out of their cash drawer.

When the letter Q shows up without the letter U, it really gives me the heebie-jeebies,

I have a witness. My boyfriend was there and laughed when I said “wow, there’s gloves in my glovebox!”.

Usually I only keep my car manual and car repair/maintenance receipts in there.

Different 9s trick: Multiply the number by 10, then subtract itself.

1 * 10 - 1 = 9
2 * 10 - 2 = 18
3 * 10 - 3 = 27
4 * 10 - 4 = 36
5 * 10 - 5 = 45
6 * 10 - 6 = 54
7 * 10 - 7 = 63
8 * 10 - 8 = 72
9 * 10 - 9 = 81

O is fine where it is, but Q’s position in the alphabet is a major issue for me. Whenever I’m going through a long list of files or folders, I always look for the Q files at around T or U. Then I have to scroll back up 15% of the way to get to the right file. Over the years, this has wasted at least an hour of my life.

If warmth is a word, coolth is a word, dammit, and I’m using it. No, I don’t care. NO, I DON’T CARE! I’m using it, it’s a perfect word to describe what it means!

Things that make me lose my shit

When the mom-cop on Cagney and Lacey found her adolescent son’s porn stash and insisted on sitting down and paging through the mag with him so he could understand how dehumanizing and objectifying it was to women.

Dick Cheney - Just looking at him makes me want to give him a beat down

Perez Hilton - See Cheney above

Big SUV drivers when there’s only one person in the car - and I drive a big SUV with just myself most of the time. I’m self hating.

People who are self consciously hyper dramatic

Hypochrondiacs who cultivate their illnesses

It bothers me when people use “per se” incorrectly.

And I’ve always assigned sexes to numerals. It seems that the evens are usually femal. Except 6 and 7. Six is male, seven is kind of a tranny.

Something about James Gandolfini’s voice makes me want to punch him. I really have no desire to see Where the Wild Things Are because I figure I’ll just spend the whole movie wanting to punch the character he voices.
