Get it into your thick skull!
 

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.

How many times myself and a lot of other people here have had to explain Halloween III.

"wtf was that where was micael myers omg lolz!1 that movie was stupid."

*kills crabapple*

Re: Get it into your thick skull!
 

im from New England and ive never heard anyone call it a "hamburg". "burger" maybe, but not "hamburg"

really? weird. Maybe it is non-Mass thing... Burger is acceptable. Myabe its a new hampshire thing, but it is not uncommon to "go to the caff to get a hamburg. They're wicked good!"

Nothing but retarded inbred hicks up here....

ya that would bother me too. you know what really bothers me? Pop. or even worse, soda-pop. fucking gay word i hate it.

should HAVE. SHOULD HAVE. Not "should of", SHOULD HAVE

Thank you! I thought I was the only one it bugged!

Ugh...I HATE that one...For some reason it just irritates the shit outta me..

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.

There = in that place
Their = belongs to them
They're = THEY ARE

They're NOT interchangeable!!!! You can't just pick one and use it for everything, WTF are they teaching kids these days???

Sorry but bad grammer really, really pisses me off :mad:

OK, I'm done...well, for today anyway, LOL

Or even better: Tonic.

My band teacher called soda tonic... She insisted that it was a "New England" thing, and blew off all of the other students who mentioned that I was the ONLY person in the class who was not from new England.. Fatch Bitch....

Others to add:
Specifically, not pacifically
Especially, not Expecially
Lieutenant (Lootenant), not Leftenant *anticipates a slap from zwoti*

Which reminds me of somehting Eddie Izzard said.
"We say 'Herbs' not 'erbs' because it starts with a fucking 'H'."

You do NOT WARSH YOUR CLOTHES! Is there an R in wash? No, there is not. Our first president was NOT George Warshington, and that tasty yellow vegetable IS DEFINATELY NOT a "Squarsh"

Not to mention:
There is a such thing as "Right of way", and it exists more more people than just YOU.

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. Everyone in this state is a shitty driver because they have this overwhelmiing sense of entitlement. Its liek they produce nothing of value, but still think they deserve to be treated like royalty, and EVERYONE here thinks like that....

About grammar:

It really gets to me when I can't read mly messages from people because they type like there gangsta. The whole "i tink i iz gona go ta sleep na dogg" gets on my nerves. You have a brain, use it!!! Maybe its just me & my brother, but we always type in perfect grammar... well, except my little deliberate things, like daze instead of days. I just wanna be able to read what people say!

I hate white "gangstas".... to be honest, anyone who walks and talks in that fashion makes me want to beat them with a baseball bat, but holy crap... White Suburban gangstas.... Drop them off in south central in a sheet and watch the fun.

And the use of 'F' instead of 'Th'!!!!! You don't hear these people say 'fe' or 'fat' instead of 'the' or 'that' but they'll quite happily say 'fought' or 'fink' instead of 'thought' & 'think'

Buy a dictionary for f*ck's sake AND READ IT

I'm down wiff dat...

Makes me want to place a gun to their head...

How hard is it to NOT be stupid? It's really not.

And the fucking ebonic creation of words... Phat... Shizzle.... Bandwagon...


And holy shit.. If a 15 year old calls me "son", i will drop kick his head.

oh I hate that too, that is the worst! ah smeck them dohhhhgggg aiii

I work at a gas station. I pump gas for a living. I have one to add:

TURN OFF YOUR GODDAMNED CELLPHONES

There was a bunch of PSA's going around not long ago, but they went in one ear of the collective consciousness and right out the other. Are you TRYING to blow the whole damn place up? Yes? Well the dont come to my fucking station you Goddamed psychopath!

Re: Re: Get it into your thick skull!
 

It's a myth. Mythbusters looked at this one a while back. Never been proven.

Re: Re: Re: Get it into your thick skull!
 

Mythbusters has been known to screw up.

what i hate is going to school a seeing all the guys boxers. are girls supposed to find that attractive or something, cause i don't.

and hearing people talk with a southern acsent (sp?) just gets on my nerves. it makes me want to chringe.

Seriously. Its called a belt!


its spelt accent :p

it's kinda funny sometimes, like when the pants turn on them or whatever.

for example: when we were tuning last week in band a kid in my section's pants feel down. it was so fucking funny cause he was playing and they just fell down, he had shorts on under them thank god. stupid freshman.

lol. Have you ever seen one of the episodes of Cops when they can't run away becuse their pants are around there ankles?

yeah. they're the best. i love it when the try to pull them up.

I love being ableto laugh at stupid people's stupid mistakes :D

But what's worse is bad grammar.

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.


Damnit.

You spelled grammar wrong and forgot a period.

Wow, people that are more anal than me! :)

But as long as I'm here, I hate it when people say 'axed' instead of 'asked'. I usually see them on those stupid court TV shows that I get sucked into and watch (hey, no one's perfect). But that just makes them sound uneducated and dumb, which is not going to be good for their side of the story.

When people don't know the difference between "your" and "you're".

People who type "Your stupid" and the like. Goddamnit. Do I own the stupid?

I don't mind typos though. I've used the wrong version of there and your before as a typo. But I usually catch it and go back and correct it, but sometimes I just don't care and leave it.

Oh, yah, and then there's the people that put on WAY too much perfume, cologne, aftershave, whatever. Geez, nice smell, do you have to fucking marinate yourself in it?

People who can't say words correctly annoy me. Like dunkey for donkey, wurter for water, and potater or badata for potato.

People who don't use their blinker when they turn......then take their sweet fucking time about it........fuckers....people who stroll across the street......taking their sweet time about it.......I WANNA STEP ON THE PEDDLE AND RUN THEIR ASSES OVER.......fuckers.......now ya got me all pissed off....and I'm on vacation.....fuck it....I'm gonna have a hamburg.....with pickles...a bit of mustard and ketchup.

You won't wanna drive in my town then :)

I think I'll start walking more its probably safer!
