Blog Entry 6 of 6 Coop's Rambling Lunacy
I don't write about religion, sports, current events, news, or anything even vaguely political. I just write about random garbage, and I like it that way!

My pet peeves
Contributed by: David Cooper   on 2/23/2008

This is just a quick list of things that drive me absolutely crazy. I could have gone with loud cell phone talkers, people who chew with their mouths open, or even people who tip poorly at restaurants, but these are too obvious. Some of them seem fairly benign, but this is my list, so get off my back.

1. People who leave time on the microwave -- You couldn't just wait the last two seconds to eat your Hot Pocket? Push cancel, you lazy, knuckle-dragging moron!

2. People who cannot properly pluralize "son of a b****" -- It's "sons of b*****'s" not "son of a b*****'s". If you have a problem with this one, your parents probably came from the same branch of the family tree. (It may not make a whole lot of sense;I guess it's all about grammar.)

3. People who use homonyms interchangeably (words like their/they're/there, which/witch, dew/do, your/you're). If I had to explain this to you, youare probably one of these people. I hate you. It's that simple.

4. Firefighters who say "slay the dragon." (Most of you will not understand this one.) Get a life. You didn't battle a huge, scaly, winged, mythical, fire-breathing beast. You put water on a chemical chain reaction resulting in a rapid oxidation of a fuel source. Idiot.

5. People who can't use quotation marks properly. Let's give some examples:
Correct: Do not walk on grass or Do not walk on grass.
Incorrect: "Do not" walk on grass.
For the love of God, people! You learned this one in elementary school!

6. People who say any statement that resembles "40 is the new 30" or "Pink is the new black." No, pink is still pink, and 40 is still 40! (I have mathematical proof of the latter.) There (not their or they're) is a spot reserved for you in the deepest, darkest pits of hell for your (not you're) immortal soul to burn for an eternity. Enjoy!

I am sure there are more. I will work on it.

Gosh, I thought it was "sons of b****es." Unless they have the same mother.
