Pet Peeves

[B_caneadea]

I too see improper punctuation and spelling ( I'm guilty sometimes ) here in the discussions. Usually, I chalk it up to people typing too fast. Also, I read my post before I hit "submit".

My pet peeves:

1. People who don't walk on the right side, whether on the sidewalk, in a store, or where ever they may be walking.
2. No turn signals.
3. Cell phones.
4. Drivers who stop in the cross walk.
5. Shoppers who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle as if they were the only one in the store.
6. Cashiers who give me the coins on top of the receipt on top of the bills.
7. LPSG members who are bitter and angry about their lives so they take it out on others by submitting vicious attack posts without ever giving the benefit of the doubt.
8. LOUD television ads. I love Tivo.
9. LOUD THUMPING bass.
10. People who call and hang up without leaving a message.
11. Religious nuts.
12. People who refuse to live and let live.

Thank you, MsLulu.

13. Inconsiderate parents who are used to ignoring their kids noise or bad behavior, causing the rest of us to suffer.
14. Same for inconsiderate owners of pets.
15. LOUD talkers at the movies.

What bugs me? Cell phones being used in public places and while driving. Telemarketers. Junk mail. Uptight individuals. Hypercritical people. Dating interviews (You know, when you are on a date and they want to know about your ex or other people you've dated before. How much money you make? Then your date will tell you answers to these questions as it applies to themselves. You know those dates where you feel like you have just been on a job interview. I can't stand those kinds of dates.) Reality shows. Soap operas.

Is it the "old timers" disease?

Just kidding. I suspected that it might be the bass........

Are you one of the guys who drives by my house, playing the music really loudly, with the bass cranked up so high that the cars fenders rattle in time to the music?

- I hate undercover hoes. Bitch, relish in the fact that you're a pleasure provider. We're aware of your lurid background, we know what you did at little JoJo's party with the Corona bottles. Motherfuckers ain't taking you to Red Lobster and courting you for that swampwater pussy.

- I hate closet racists. If you wanna call me a "coon monkey" let the hate shine through. Don't pull up to me at a stoplight, stare at me and mutter under your breath. Goosestep through the neighborhood with your White Power agenda scrawled on a picket sign.

In American usage, it is always acceptable to place the punctuation marks inside of the quotation mark. In standard British usage, the punctation marks are placed inside of the quotation marks if they are part of actual quoted material. HickBoy's use of the period after the quotation mark ("alot".) is consistent with British usage.

As a (reasonably) "standard Brit" I agree with DMW.

The best test is the question mark; if the quote is a question in itself it belong inside the marks; but if the quoter rather than the quotee is posing a question it belongs outside. All other punctuation follows the same rule, at least on this side of the Atlantic. Hickboy passes the test so far as I am concerned. But he might not want to appear too much like a Limey.

Daddy sure raised a winner right here. He should've cut his losses and left you at the local Greyhound station with $10 and boxed lunch.

 

[B_Hung Muscle]

LOL. Dilznick, you are too much. BOXED LUNCH??!

Caneadea, you have definitely taken over the self-appointed role of most prolific poster, arbitrator, snitch, and ass-kisser. I hope you dig it.

Your message begs a simple question: Why do you care to whom this is directed? Here's a newsflash: Maybe Dilznick is just reaching into his large bag of experience and sharing something that has nothing to do with one of your friends at LPSG.

 

[B_Hung Muscle]

Having said that, your torso is still HOT. Thanks for the avatar.

I would have given him $5 and a bag lunch.
