Geeky computer users chained to their desks with only a cathode ray tube for company who like to complain to people they’ve never met and never will.
It really burns me up that the phone company still charges an extra fee for touch-tone phone service. They’re making scads of money off of a perceived “new” technology that was implemented a decade ago. Like touch tone isn’t what the system is geared towards anyway. GRRRRRRRR.

My very favorite reply to the infer/imply mistake came after a fellow worker was asked by a supervisor:
"Are you inferring that I am an idiot?”
"No, I am saying that you are an idiot. If I implied that you were an idiot, you would not be able to infer it, because you are an idiot!”

There is this turn I make every day on the way to work. Two lanes can make a left turn - the leftmost lane and the middle lane. People are so used to only the leftmost lane be allowed to turn, that they like end up in the center lane of the target street. Unfortunately, I tend to drive with my eyes open, and I always pick the middle lane of both the original street and the target street. So it basically winds up that lots of people come a few inches from lane-changing into me illegally, during a turn, every other morning.
I don’t know if one can really describe such a thing, but I’ve always been fascinated by people not liking it when somebody reads over your shoulder. What’s the problem? Anything specific, or just a nameless pet-peeve?
I lose all respect for anyone using the word (no! it is not!) “irregardless”. I cringe just looking at this post.

You might want to mention to your boyfriend that his still-smoldering cigarette can start a wildfire. Now if it turns out that it can be traced back to him (highly unlikely, but bear with me here), then he’s responsible for ALL the costs incident to extinguishing the fire. Also if one of the poor souls employed fighting the fire dies, then it’s “felony homicide” at least here in California.
Of course, it’s not likely that the thing can be traced back to him. But, at least morally, it’s on his head.
Sorry for bumping this old thread but I didn’t want to start a new one for this generic topic just so I could vent about my neighbors who TEN days ago put up their Christmas decorations!!!
Argh!
