You Know What Really Grinds My Gears?

BRB = Be Right Back

FTW = For the Win

Leet is SO far beyond simple abbreviations for irc...

And, I've driven in both New Orleans and St. Louis.  St. Louis is SATAN as far as I am concerned.  Almost died there when the road I was on JUST ENDED and it JUST PLAIN SUCKS.

As far as I am concerned, St. Louis is the armpit of America, at least as far as driving is concerned.  I've driven in the Metro Manhattan area, Miami, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Denver, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Kansas City, Dallas/Ft. Worth and others...St. Louis SUCKS...get over it.

And I understand EAST St. Louis is the armpit of Hell.

Heh, as I said on page 15.  Since I live in St. Louis.   

The layout of the city of St. Louis.  Every direction is a trap.  There are numerous exits and streets that if you go down them, you can't go back to where you came from without literally driving for 5-10 minutes if you KNOW how to get back.  If you have to guess, you can't, as the layout was apparently designed by a mad man.  I missed my exit yesterday, took the next one I saw to turn around, and ended up spending over 20 minutes trying to find my way back. 

It sucks.

East St. Louis is not horrible to navigate, but it's REALLY FRIGGIN' SCARY to drive in.

Paying good money for meat from the grocery store only to find out its bad.. This is the third time from my local grocery store. I will not buy anything else from them. Dammit!

You know what really drives me insane?

That unfunny, lame, tiresome, overrated and aggrivating show known as "The Big Bang Theory".

I've only seen a few episodes, but those were enough to cause me to personally hate it.
None of the jokes are funny. 99.9% of the time they make me cringe (they basically use the same old material about geeks being bad at relationships, obssessed with technology, etc).

That Sheldon character is especially annoying. Everytime he talks on screen, I want to strangle him (especially when he uses the word: "Bazinga"   )

What's even worse is that it replaced South Park on the comedy network. How they could commit such blasphemy is beyond me.

Whatever is in the air this time of year that makes my nostrils flow like Niagra Falls.

I think I've seen an episode or 2 at my mother-in-laws... I agree with you on this.

The shocker for me was how unfunny the caveman sitcome was, which is based on the GEICO Cavemen. I guess the joke is only funny on a 30 second commercial... Or maybe the writers are not as funny as the commercial writers.

I like "Big Bang Theory."  I find it, or parts of it, hilarious.  It's the only sitcom I watch (if I watch any).

Diff'rent strokes and all that...

A new ground gear for me: 

Use of the term "peasy," and in "easy peasy."  There's a forum I've been reading for nearly 10 years, it's all adults (many of whom are retirement age) and I have never seen that word on there before this week.

Now, it seems like just about every thread has it used at least once.  Three times since yesterday.   

To generalize, I cannot stand just about any use of a "popular catch phrase."  When a term catches on and folks start using it ad nauseum, I find it incredibly tiresome, borish and lazy.   It makes me want to shout "stop being a sheep and think for yourself...create your own sentences using your own words."

But...but I've been using the phrase "easy peasy" on rare occasions for years!

While I do agree that phrases will become tiresome if overused, part of the reason for such sayings is to easily convey a thought or feeling in a much shorter time frame than it would take otherwise or to express a sentiment in an amusing way (provided that everyone present understands the saying, of course). For example: "the straw that broke the camel's back." Is it faster to say? Not really, but it does get the idea across very effectively.

Now, if only we could get people to stop quoting "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" to death...

I had a class once where the instructor would, after every point he made during lecture, would say "roger dodger?" I guess this was to check for comprehension. He did it alot. Actually, he was a good instructor and a funny guy aside from saying "roger dodger" every five minutes. That was annoying. If I had had a feedback survey to do for the class I would have said "great instructor, but can he stop saying 'roger dodger' so much?"

[Mr. DS]

Backseat drivers man, they f'n get me riled up.  You know, the people who have ALL the friggin' ideas but don't pitch in or do anything to help.  Yet the have all the energy in the world to shoot down the ideas of others with reckless abandonment.  I dealt with two of them today and I'm still PO'd.

I'm with you there. I care about where the country goes, but I can't stand all the horse#$#% that politics has become.
