    I certainly hope not.

    Got some more:

    People who spell colour as color, I don't care where you're from you're spelling it wrong. The same goes for metre, humour etc.

    People who write the month as mm/dd/yy, it's dd/mm/yy see it's sequential

    News programmes showing gimmicks instead of the news, for example BBC news where doing an article showing that people where spending less in shops so the presenter gets in a lift and the camera zooms in on the green down arrow lighting up. Just tell me the damn news, I'm not a 5 year old child or retarded ffs.

    People blaming McDonalds for getting them fat/People blaming the bank for giving them a £100,000 bank loan, step up and take responsibility, freaks.

    AH, I feel better now.

    People who say "summits" instead of "something".

    Restraunts menus that say ponsey things like "pan fried onions" - how else did you fry them? Deep fried?

    People who can't talk to you unless you can both see one another without turning heads. Seriously some people are incapable of speaking to you without walking over and standing directly infront of you or right next to you. For serious conversations this is necessary, but for small talk its kind of annoying when you're trying to do something have someone follow you like a dog.
    Cowardice is to run from the fear;
    Bravery is not to never feel the fear.
    Bravery is to be terrified as hell;
    But to hold the line anyway.

    I thought of one when I was driving down the highway with my wife yesterday.

    I HATE HATE HATE it when people misuse the term 'persuasion'.

    Example of offending behavior: "People of the Asian persuasion". No Asian, or Asian-American for that matter, made a decision to be Asian, they simply are! Being of a persuasion means that you hold that view!

    Have to add cell phones. What is it with these wretched things that NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING once the siren goes of everything else is of secondary importance????

    That AND people that call me on my cell-phone for something completely insignificant. I hate talking over phones, it is no real communication. Tell me the next time you see me damnit!
