Pet Peeves

[Icebreak]

The Evening Network Pharmaceuticals Report aka the Evening News with Brian "Worried" Williams, Diane "Screaming" Sawyer and Katie "Cautionary" Couric. By the time the Pharm Report is over I'm wondering if I'm just in a grumpy mood or need depression medication, didn't have enough water today or have a flow problem, less interested in dating and more interested in career, cars, flashlights, knives and guns or have E.D., so concerned about what pills I might should be taking and wondering if I shold get a check-up then I can't sleep so maybe I should get some sleeping pills.

Oh, yeah. I just wanted to know about Congress, the economy, who's ahead in the polls, how our troops are doing and any new scientific discoveries that have been published. As it stands, I don't know what the Pakastanie flag looks like but I do know that the mascot for Gieco is a Gecko, Lunesta is an Avatar like butterfly, Viagra is a Harley and a hottie, Cialis is a house that transforms from being home owner remodeled to a waterfall complete with Cougar Wife and Flomax is a bunch of guys laughing their butts off while riding bicycles. And all this time I thought Flomax was a high tech automotive air intake filter. Thank goodness for the Evening News to set me straight.

I had no idea. Gemini Crickets! I'd like to own an Asteroid but I wouldn't want to have one. A new phobia and a new dream all in one. Thanks, PW. You are still as awesome as ever. Now if I could just find a malfunctioning transporter on eBay.

Bloody thing popped up after I typed out this long-winded pet-peeve list. TWICE!!!

Holy hell it's been a long day. :tired: :sigh:

I am usually a patient man. I believe that there is no sense in the emotions anger or hatred. Not only are they both completely useless, but they are damaging to the bearer as well. They don't positively effect the situation that caused them in the slightest, all they do is hinder your ability to think clearly to deal with it. They don't harm the person who caused them at all. They rob LIFE from you, the little moments that you could be enjoying are taken over with negativity instead. They are like drinking poison yourself and expecting it to effect your enemies, and it doesn't. While feeling this way, I still am human and still have these emotions, even though I realize how useless/poisonous they are.

Today I dealt with a lot. I gave my "Son, there's something you should know" speech. It went something like this:

"I've saved you a lot of time, a lot of money, and a lot of hassle over this past week. Your last job got completed on time and within budget because of me. There's been several like that over the years. I know you're annoyed with a lot of things, but before you decide to take it out on me, you need to know that I'm retired now. I do this job so I don't get bored, but I don't need the money or the work, and the instant being bored becomes preferable to dealing with you, I will walk off this job site and be happy to never speak to you again. Won't hurt me in the slightest."

He opened his mouth and I walked off the jobsite. The next time I see/hear that client's name had better be on a check with five digits before the decimal and written out to me.

An error that seems to be occurring with increasing frequency on CPF is the incorrect declension of the relative pronoun.

Yeah, I catch myself doing that all the time :thinking:

I think DM51 is referring to People's versus Peoples'. One refers to single item of ownership, "It is the people's city."

The other refers to multiple items, where each item is owned by other individuals, "It is the peoples' homes"

I was referring to the use of "whom" instead of "who".

Who said, "Whom"?

Going into a place run by a huge company that is trying to replace cashiers and other employees with self-service checkout.

The annoying part is when the cashier tells you to use the self-serve checkout. WTF?? I can understand if it's busy or management is standing right there. But when it's slow, and no one else is around . . . Why would you encourage a customer to eventually help you get laid off?

I have left stores with a full shopping cart with perishables that had no living, breathing cashiers who would ring my groceries up.

Yup, I even announced that I would leave if someone wouldn't serve me. :fail:

Funny thing that has happened when I did that at other places. The cashier would ring up my purchases at the self-serve. Even taking my money and handing me the change and receipt. :shrug:
