    Ahh.. The apostrophe. It's annoying, isn't it? Good thing about Finnish that there are no apostrophes in it.

    Fortunately...

    People who are to stupid to even associate with. I get frustrated because I know they are idiots and if I get this strong urge to tell them. I wish I lived in a world where idiots were whiped out.

    Another thing is the word 'feduciary'. I can't f4cken stand it when people use that word, it angres me beyond anything!

    Ever heard anyone in the office ask for statistics for “physical year 2004”?

    Not calendar year or fiscal year but physical year. Ay caramba.

    People who try to be smart using terms from other languages but make terrible mistakes. Like CA in RTW -- 'Vae victus'. GAH!!!

    I really hate it when people throw their ciggy butts out the car window.

    I wish I lived in a world where idiots were whiped out.

    I assume that you meant 'wiped'

    I would like to take this moment to denounce the sacred name of cheese.

    The way it sounds irritates me. Someone should make up another word for it so us feduciaryphobes can rest in peace.
