cryptique Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 When people say "I feel badly for _____" or "I feel badly about ______." You feel bad, not badly. If you feel badly, that means there's something wrong with your ability to feel. Also: people saying "____ and I" when they should say "____ and me." This one's easy to avoid: just think of how you would construct the sentence if it was just you (dropping "____ and"). You wouldn't say "Billy went bowling with I," so why would you say "Billy went bowling with Johnny and I"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not like it's a difficult thing to understand, either... like you said just drop the "___ and" and that's the pronoun to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 This whole "pants hanging halfway off your ass, underwear visible to the entire world" fad has to die soon. Seriously kids. Pull up your pants!!Not too long ago, I saw a kid wearing Spandex running pants pulled down to reveal his entire boxer-shorted ass. It is among the most ridiculous conscious fashion choices I have ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ooooh, here's one: persons, male or female, engaging in physical activity while wearing spandex shorts that have worn enough that they are unpleasantly and graphically transparent. As someone who doesn't ever do an up-down in front of the mirror prior to physical activity, I place the burden of responsibility for this one on their loved ones. Well, if they're alone then I can blame them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 When people say "historical" but mean "historic." A truly significant, notable, momentous occasion is/was "historic." ANY event that occurred in the past is "historical," whether or not it was significant or notable in any way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 This one just happened to me the other day and it was one that I forgot about. When you are by yourself and someone asks you "How are WE doing today?" Are my current multiple personalities manifesting themselves for everyone to see?I guess they might mean "we" as in that person and myself in this current situation.If that is truly the case, then it sounds like that other person wants you to ask them "how are YOU doing?"It makes me feel like Tyler Durden....actually, the Narrator sounds more accurate.

jenbobblehead Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Oh i remembered another peeve...When ball clubs/stadiums that routinely do not sell out because either their management sucks or their team sucks or both, require you to buy TWO games when you only want to see one "premium" game (see SF Giants, Atlanta Braves etc), and tied to that is having to pay more for a "premium" game to begin with, as if there's a penalty to sell out the stadium. Shouldn't the games that will guarantee a sell out actually be CHEAPER? I mean I get the whole "make money" business, i'm not a complete idiot, but to have to buy a ticket to see the giants play the padres just to see the giants play the red sox is kind of obnoxious.

Lammycat Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm with you on this^. I haven't been to a Rockies Opener for 4 years due to not allowing myself to be strong-armed into buying a ticket to the next-day's game, as well. I used to love going to Opening Day, too.

calvino Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I think the whole premium ticketing sucks - I never heard of the "requirement of buying two games". I don't think the White Sox do this (though they might start after this year). I could be wrong about the Sox. I haven't bought a premium ticket since they started it.

ih8music Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Shouldn't the games that will guarantee a sell out actually be CHEAPER? Not really... supply & demand. At least you "get" to go to a 2nd game instead of them just jacking up the prices for these games. I mean I get the whole "make money" business, i'm not a complete idiot, but to have to buy a ticket to see the giants play the padres just to see the giants play the red sox is kind of obnoxious.I agree it's annoying - I won't do it (unless I had planned on going to the 2nd game already).

A lot of teams that play the red sox or the yankees have started doing it. We could not get a group rate at Braves v Red sox or Giants v Red sox without buying another NON-premium game. Also, for the big phenom Stephen Strasburg's debut tomorrow at Nat's stadium, they were making people buy FOUR games to see that ONE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wait until they are asleep at night and pour the leftover water on them.* They'll be a little cleaner and you'll feel better and I'll bet they won't leave bottles lying around much more. Sorry, that's the best I got. * For a livelier response, first store water in refrigerator for approximately 1 hour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's already been mentioned here, kind of, but once again: smokers who just toss their cigarette butts on the ground ... especially out the car window while in motion. I'm willing to bet that many of these people abhor littering themselves, but they somehow don't equate the casual disposal of their cigarette butts with littering. Wrong.

radiatortunes Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 x 1,000,000 I hate this. What's worse is...mgmt at the gym I go to (which bears the name of a certain point guard for the Phoenix Suns, someone not unfamiliar with sweat) doesn't give a sh*t about this kind of stuff. Sorry, cranky this morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
