Re: Small things that get to you very easily
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!!!

Er, Latin Noob here-What's wrong with that? I always thought it meant 'woe to the vanquished'.

"I could care less" gets my blood flowing...
other than that, people telling me to say "well" when I really mean the noun "good".
I've found myself accidently typing "there" instead of "their", so that doesn't get me too upset. On many of the technicalities, I am often unsure. That's why I got me "Elements of Style".
Re: Small things that get to you very easily
No, that's 'Vae victis'.
Vae = nominativus; that's the subject form.
victis = dativus; the form used for 'giving'. When translating, it adds 'to' to the word. So I just used the English dativus.
In the wrong RTW version, it's 'victus', which is the nominativus form, which means the translation is 'Woe defeated'.

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

I assume that you meant 'wiped'

I'm tempted tosay that doesn't qualify for this thread, as it's not a small thing, given the destruction fires caused by cigarette buts can cause.
Re: Small things that get to you very easily
I just wish people won't use "their", "there" and "they're" as interchangeably equal.
Also "should of" as in "should of been"

People who don't understand science trying to use it to support their social/political agenda.
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

Re: Small things that get to you very easily
ok a few things...
Cold wet bread....
People who raise the pitch of their voice at the end of a sentance, so they sound like they're asking you a question. It gives the impression that they think you're stupid as you should know what they're talking about. (ALA Australian soaps)
David Beckhams voice....I just want to squeeze his neck until his pips squeak, just to shut him up.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

Re: Small things that get to you very easily
Fiduciary? Why? It is a useful word when applied correctly.
Re: Small things that get to you very easily
The way it sounds irritates me. Someone should make up another word for it so us feduciaryphobes can rest in peace.
