Only cause it’s in sequence. I do it, sue me...

How much should I Sue you for... $10 or 10$?

Not $10.

Back before the Euro, in the days of the Escudo, the Portuguese wrote money amounts with the $ where we put the decimal. So 10$50 would be ten dollars and fifty cents. That actually makes sense to me.

Last night on the way home...at a two lane roundabout. I'm in the right lane with two cars in front of me. A full length semi is in the left lane. The semi proceeds to move through the roundabout. The asshat in the right lane sits there. The guy in front of me throws his hands up at the same time I do...likely cussing the fool out as I was. I guess the idiot thought that the truck just decided to pull out in front of other vehicles and that said vehicles were going to magically pass through the semi and hit him.

People who use the terms "traffic circle" and "roundabouts" interchangeably...

The fact that I am friends with several public school teachers on social media, and they can't spell, punctuate, or formulate coherent thoughts to save their lives.

rounders? it's not a common thing here. i pat myself on the back whenever i accomplish one stateside because i'm not sure if everyone knows what they're doing, which i understand. i'm fairly used to them having driven abroad quite a bit but i'm always cautious of giving a semi some clearance and if i didn't know how to operate a rounder, i'd be even more hesitant. i woulda cut the guy some slack

The phrase "Have a Good One!"

Have a good what?

Equally annoying is the new trend at fast food joint drive thru's...especially Taco Bell...when they simply start by saying "Hi, how are you?" Trust me...you don't really want to know...nor would you give the slightest care if I actually told you!

It's everywhere. They regularly say it in commercials too.

It's a relatively minor point - I really get more annoyed by them talking ridiculously fast at the end of radio commercials in order to disclaim everything that they just spent the previous 30 seconds claiming. Or, the tiny print in TV commercials that only appears for a few seconds and is therefore impossible to read.

People who use "went" for gone. Or use "ran" wrongly.

Ha, that's like at the grocery store and they asked if I found everything okay. As if it would make a difference either way.

Are Affliction shirts still in?

Love seeing Montana tagged vehicles with Salt Life decals.

I don't know about affliction shirts. What is the deal with them? Never seen one that I am aware of.

Schtop! Just shhtop! Enough already

I have a coworker that uses that and "from that perspective" all the freakin time. He also starts every conversation or point with a long..."Soooo".

He's retiring this year, so from that perspective, there is a finite amount of time that I will continue to be subjected to it. At the end of the day, it will all be good.

Actually, now seeing it "in print"on my computer screen instead of my little phone, it is kind of annoying.

Gear grinding?, perhaps not, but I'll try to do better... just my .02$

I also have a coworker that says "at the end of the day" a lot.

Just found out that the city I live in won't approve a tiny house on my property because it's an RV.

Where am I, DPRK? I DEMAND TINY HOUSES!

I know I say it. I like it better than saying "the bottom line is"

Political: the fact that a candidate's political party is listed beside their name on the ballot. Parties aren't an official part of the electoral process and I think the real official parts need to stop pretending like they are.

Non-political: people at the gym who pretend to be experts on everything, while being fundamentally wrong. There's a guy at my gym always spouting off about how working any muscle group will stimulate muscle growth everywhere on your body.
