This was inspired by another thread. What are things that are fact, proveable fact, that people always get wrong and drive you completely batshit?
here are a few for me:
A chimp, or an orangutan, or a gorilla is not a MONKEY. it is an ape. Does it have a tail? NO? Then it isnt a godamn monkey.
it is not a NIC card (network card). it is a NIC. NIC means Network Interface Card. So Nic card is Network Interface Card Card.
Same goes for PIN Number. Personal Identification Number Number...
To all the new englanders out there.... Sorry to Newb because i know i gave you shit about this in the past.. AND i know it is just a colloquialism, but... it is HAMBURGER not a fucking HAMBURG! God damn that drives me nuts for some reason...
I can hear The guy from the Bernie and Phil's commercials saying "Have a hamburg" in his godamn boston accent... Grrr....
I suppose that is my own little slice of prejudice. So sue me.
Anyway, enough of my hatin'. I suppose i should get over it. Ive been here 13 years and wont be leaving any time soon.
The drummer from Aerosmith burst into flames a few years back because he was filling his gastank with the car running. He is not exactly a low profile person and this was on the news for a while, so why the hell cant people get it into their thick skulls that filling your gas
A) with the car running or
B) while smoking
Could not only injure you but people around you?
You better believe that if i get burned because some asshole couldnt wait 3 minutes to have a smoke, i will sue his charred ass into the ground.

AMERICAN INTERSECTION RULES FOR DRIVERS. Very important.
If two people are opposing each other at a stop sign intersection, and one of them is going straight through and the other is SIGNALING to make a left turn, the person GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH has the right of way, and needs to go first. If you're the one making a left turn, DON'T cut them off. Wait for them to go, then you can go. You can prepare to make the turn, but until the other party crosses the intersection, that's ALL you're supposed to do.
If you're opposite a person at an intersection who is signaling to make a left turn, and you're planning on going straight through, and they ease forward into the intersection slightly (30-40%), THAT'S KOSHER. It doesn't mean they're making the turn. It SHOULD mean that they're PREPARING to make the turn. You should go straight through unless they're showing signs of actually beginning to make the turn (i.e., starting to swing the car left). In that case, they need driving lessons and they're in the wrong. Be careful!
Easily 60% or more of the people I see at stop sign intersections presumably have driver licenses but have NO IDEA of the rules they're supposed to be following. They shouldn't have those licenses if they are confused about these basic procedures, which are based on pure logic.

As an American, i must say the american (and most ESPCIALLY new hampshire, friggin "Live Free or die") sense of self-importance is the most annoying thing on earth.

When you come into my restaurant and order food from me, please do not wait until I tell you your total to pull out your wallet/purse and then take your time sorting through your wadded up dollar bills. You WILL have to pay eventually, and you should know that walking in the door. Get your goddamn wallet out as soon as you're done ordering.
Also, do not call and ask me what our carry-out specials are. You tell me what you want. If it's a special, I'll let you know. No one has ever ordered a special after I've read them the entire list.

You have just hit apon my biggest pet peeve.
People do NOT know how to drive here either.
I always get some little punk ass riding on my tail and I wonder if he/she realizes that if I had to stop suddenly,that he/she would be crashed in MY KIDS SEAT??? ooooo that pisses me off.
I went to get my NC driver's license awhile back and didn't bother to look at the book, I was thinking "all these MORONS drive here,what's the point?"
Well I FAILED it!
It had no questions about road rules except the one about "If a blind person comes to an unmarked crosswalk,and holds his stick up... blah blah blah."
The rest were these obscure laws in referrance to drunk driving. (apparently everybody is a bad driver here because they are constantly drinking and need to know the rules so they can escape the cops unless of course they are part of the crowd that pay them off every month so they can do anything they damn well please)
People also need to chill the fuck out when they drive-there are too many accidents and deaths because people are NOT PAYING attention and road rage.
This little 6 year boy was recently shot accidently because of road rage-that is the MOST senseless and tragic kind of death I can imagine.
there is no such word as 'irregardless' - if there were it would mean "without regard to there being no regard"
the noun is quotation as in " i have a quotation from Abraham Lincoln" not 'quote' - 'quote' is the verb as in "so I am now going to quote Lincoln"

He had aspirations of being a pc repair tech for the company and actually told me once that "terminology wasnt important". In computers.

I also hate when people go through the drive-thru lane at the bank and try to take out a loan. If you're doing more than cashing a check or making a quick deposit, GO IN THE BANK!!!!! Oh yeah...and have the damn check written out BEFORE you get to the drive-thru. Don't wait until the teller starts talking to you to dig out your checkbook and pen.
Another pet peeve of mine is PDA, especially couples who must kiss at every stoplight or walk around with their hands in each other's back pockets.:mad: I can't help but make a gagging gesture and sound when I see that. Which leads me to my biggest pet peeve: people who beat me up when I make gagging gestures/sounds. :D

Or better still... i saw this when i worked at wendy's when i was 18, no joke....
a fat Guy (at least 450 at about 6' 3") ordered 2 triples with cheese (for the uninitiated, and triple at wendy's is lettuce, tomatoe, onion, ketchup, mustard mayo, with 3 slices of cheese and 3 1/4 lb patties) and bacon, 2 larg fries, a chili, a frosty and a 5 piece chicken nuggets.
And a diet coke.
A few days later, there was a family of 4 that came in where they all were huge... they all also ordered triples with cheese, and i think junior bacon cheeseburgers on the side. For god's sake, the youngest kid couldnt have been over 12..... I couldnt eat thatmuch at his age and i have the biggest appetite of any i have ever known...
All with, you guessed it, diet coke...
the 12 year old:Awww... mom, i dont want diet! (imagine whiny fat-kid voice)
Mom: Shut up! it's healthy!
I swear, there is a section of our society that should collectively stick a gun in their mouth and squeeze the trigger.

Ok here's one I get all the time. I work at a hotel and when I'm not working the desk I'm driving the shuttle and taking towels and shit to guests. I also get the wonderful job of plunging toilets and dumb shit like that.
But the one thing I get most of all is I have to show people how to turn on the water....................IT'S A FUCKING KNOB, YOU TURN IT JACKASS!!!!!
Or how about those people that can't figure out how to open the door, ok I understand the a key card can be confusing for some but it has instructions printed right on it.
And finally: how to use the phone. Noone seems to be able to read the instructions that say "dial 9 for an outside line" so they call the desk after about 15 min of them arguing with the desk that thier phone is broken I get to go prove to them that they are just retarded...........it happens all the time.

I do that all the time.:o Well, I don't order a dump truck full of food, but I drink Diet Coke with everything. It's a sickness.:) I do agree that it seems just a tad bit ridiculous to order 5,000,000 calories worth of food and a Diet Coke.

Diet Coke isn't actually all that healthy. I mean, the newer stuff with Splenda is healthy, but the stuff with Aspertame is shite

Fat bastards often justify their mammoth greasy fast food intake by their 'diet' drink.

Thats because the diet drink counteracts the greasy fatty fast food.

The salted lard with butter is the best.. And low in caffine, so i dont have to cut back on my coffee intake :)
this reminds me of Homer claiming he ate healthy and marge reminding him that he puts butter in his coffee. :D

Homer: So you think you know better than this family, eh? Well as long as you're in my house you'll do what I do and believe what I believe! So butter your bacon!
Bart: Yes father.
Lisa: Mom, dad, my spiritual quest is over!
Homer: Hold that thought... Bacon up that sausage, boy!
Bart: But dad, my heart hurts!
