Mom was right. Words CAN hurt- especially when used improperly.

BTW- I'm a Star Wars guy. And don't tell me you can be BOTH. It's one or the other, like Chevys and Fords.

Even improperly on purpose? I mean, I was close for all intensive purposes.

I have never seen one of the Star Wars movies, honest. And I drive a Chevy Avalanche. If you tell me you are a Ford guy, I will just crawl in my hole and hibernate.

I'll add one. People who park their cars on their grass when they have a perfectly good driveway.

Just ball busting although I really do hate when people do that on a regular basis because they are usually to damn lazy to walk the extra 5ft from the driveway. Luckily my old neighbor who used to do this moved. As petty as it was, it drove me insane when I would see that since I break my azz to keep my yard looking good and this guy would park both vehicles on the grass with an empty driveway. It did help keep his weeds from getting to high though.

I don't discriminate when it comes to cars. As long as it runs and I have no car payment I will drive it.

I got one...how about losing my great cigar while fishing. I always seem to loose a Mag 50 or some other steller smoke to the water.

Absolutely annoying. I can close my eyes and see one particular Trinidad floating in Lake George...

This is why I am sure to have either Flor de Oliva Maduros on hand or Tampa Sweetheart 500s on hand for fishing trips. I never ever bring anything over $5 with me fishing. Something always happens to my cigar when fishing. This is also because all I usually ever catch is a buzz so add that factor in and it never turns out well for a cigar that's hanging out of my mouth.

Im with you on this one "People who don't understand what yield signs mean" and I bet orientate is on that list somewhere. That one drives me nuts.

Do not get me started on that one! Man now you hit a nerve. That is probably my least favorite expression. Just shout I am stupid and will do what ever you tell me to instead.

Tiki - I agree with several of those, but I COMPLETELY agree with the Valspar hi-def ****. So lame.

G G · 09-24-2010, 10:13 AM

I am especially annoyed by the cashier telling me how to use the credit machine while I am using it. They will say push the green button and it isn't even to the point where you can yet. They act like it's the first time you have ever used it and I have been using a debit/checkcard since before most of them were born.
