Ugh.

God, I HATE that. There is an extermination company here in Memphis that has a fleet of trucks emblazoned with the slogan: "BUGS BUGGING YOU!". I want to paint a question mark on every one of those trucks.

I do want some pancakes? Don't I ! Haw!

I'll cut Mon and Pop some slack, but It's better when you know the person makes a six-figure salary and thinks it's ok.

Actually, it's trying to say, "Want some; don't you?"

Hey! How about those missing socks in the dryer?

What is the deal with that?

Absolutely!

Saying "I'll have" when ordering at a restaurant. I think "I'd like" is more polite.

(Im going to get yelled at for that. I can feel it.)

When people dont turn of their high-beams for oncoming traffic, or traffic in front of them. That's one of very few things that will make me want to get violent.

I can't figure out if you're right or not and it's hurting my brain.
Explain it to me!!
Won't you...

I've noticed I've always got an odd sock when I'm done with laundry; I guess my dryer is adding one each time.

Some rubes just say "Gimmie a...". That's almost rude, I think.

That happened to me yesterday. $9.00 socks, too...Crap...

That's shit alright, but worse than that are the pricks who spend the time clearing the snow from the windows of their car but NOT the roof.

I deliberately avoid the right side of interstates on snowy days because of these shits. Many's the time I have almost had my windscreen shattered because some dickwad didn't bother to take the 100 pounds of ice and crap off the top of his SUV, only to let the 70-mph winds from cruisin' down I-95 do it for him.

I believe it's illegal to drive with that shit on your car, as it's a major hazard. People swerve and brake hard to avoid these nuttouchers, but I've never seen one pulled over because of it.

but I've never seen one pulled over because of it.

Most states have OBSTRUCTED VIEW or SPILLING LOAD ON FREEWAY statutes that apply to those situations.
Ice off a semi trailer roof is the worst. KLUNK! I lost a rear view mirror that way.
