Why does that matter to you? I’d never even thought about it, but I guess I’d rather have the fries on top so I can grab a few while they’re still piping hot. Curious: why do you prefer it the other way?
I would like to add
- Coworkers who use those ridiculous stationary backgrounds on their emails (dramatically increasing the size of each email)
- Email policies that both add tiny limits to my available storage and lock out the ability to archive emails to a pst file.
Deleteing email for a project that is still ongoing makes my skin crawl and yet… I must.
Are you saying he shoved his child into oncoming traffic? Dear God! I get nervous when I see people dangling their strollers at the curb, with barely a hand on them to keep the stroller from rolling into the street.
People who pull into their driveways, shut their cars off and just sit there. Are they too tired to get out and walk to the door? Are they afraid to go inside?
If they put the napkins on the bottom, they will soak up all the grease from the fries above, and we will realize how greasy the fries are. We would rather not know.
I’ve seen people shove an occupied stroller into the Metro train doors to physically block them from closing. Note that the Metro train doors do not automatically re-open like elevator doors. Usually a driver manually releases a trapped person by cycling the doors again, but every once in a while the train starts moving with someone’s arm or bag stuck in there. Shudder. But why wait for another train, or risk your handbag, when you can use the new amazing Baby™ brand live doorstop???
In my professional life, I occasionally have to fix line breaks that separate units of measurement:
Every once in a great while, one of these breaks across a page too, so the current page ends with “90” and the new page begins with “°F in the heat exchanger.” Those are exquisitely cringe-inducing.
I drive a lot. I use the cruise control. Do not pass me and then go slower than the speed at which my cruise control has been set for over an hour! What is the fucking point in that?
ETA: Yeah, and what exactly is the problem with the fries on top of the burger?
I hate the phrases “Girls night out,” “Guys night out,” and when someone refers to a garage or home theater or whatever as a “man cave.”
Because I don’t want a shitload of fries falling between my seats when I pull the entire fucking container of fries out to get to the burger.
If I walk in and eat there I don’t give 2 shits about it.
Maybe you could, you know, get out of your automobile at meal times like a civilised person? 
Two spaces after a period. Drives me nuts.
Neglecting to insert a space between the number and the unit (e.g. “72°C”). There’s supposed to be a space, damn it!
Cops who speed when light bar is off.
Oooh! I can explain this one. Whenever I come home I need a few seconds to gather myself for the onslaught of the kids. Just a second of deep breathing can get me prepared. It is my driveway, after all.
My street is lined with huge houses that all have huge driveways that apparently are too fragile to be parked upon. Why? Why must you park in the street?
Where would you put the space?
The unit is degrees.
A formal style cite, from a group that uses degrees professionally,
Similarly, think of feet and inches: 60’ 6". The units are appended directly to the numerals.
My husband does this. It drives our cat bonkers.
I was going to ask if the people sitting in their cars are women - I don’t even have kids, and I used to sit in my car for a few minutes at home before going in just to rest for a bit. Once I get inside, there’s supper to make and stuff to clean and cats to play with and laundry to start and things to tidy and bills to pay and grocery lists to make and and and…
The sound of mechanical pencils. :mad:
I understand there should *not *be a space when using the degree symbol (for angle) and feet/inches. But it’s my understanding those are exceptions to the rule. For temperature (and all other units), there should always be a space between the number and the unit.
What do you care where I eat? Maybe you should focus on spelling, instead.
