Vanity- What grinds your gears?
July 2, 2010

Posted on 07/02/2010 7:01:42 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch

Pulling out of the drive up at the coffee shop the girl utters, "Have a good one".

men who use those plastic sticks on the grocery check out lanes to separate their cans of beets from the next person's bag of apples. A man ought to be able to defend his turf.

when I say "thank you" and the response is "no problem"

How about getting t-boned by an illegal alien, him killing your 18 year old son and having PD drive the illegal home and doing nothing?

People who do that grind my gears.

So you're one of the special people? Do you cut in line at stores, theme parks or the movies as well? Do you spout Ted Kennedy's favorite line, "Don't you know who I am?!"

>>>> "Walla Walla should be Voila Voila, LOL." <<<<

AND, if you don't use the correct French spelling of V-O-I-L-A, then at least misspell it correctly as, "waH-laH waH_laH!!"

Cutesy internet spelling-not so much LOLspeak as people who (eg) think it's adorable and witty to spell "probably" as 'prolly' , that sort of thing.

People who pose for pictures making the duckface. (If you don't know what duckface is (lucky you!) then google it. You've probably seen it.

Look at my tag line and you'll figure out what is my main FR annoyance.

I know that. Thats what I was griping about, when people use “would of” instead of “would have”.

Hey smart guy, tell me how NOT BLOCKING A LANE is cutting in line?

Are you literate? Do you comprehend English or are you just being a jerk for entertainment purposes? Where did I say anything about jumping in line?

I said something about other people BLOCKING LANES. Perhaps if I put the idea in all caps you won’t miss it this time.

STUPID people don’t understand that they create a HAZARD by blocking the left lane.

Go ahead, poke along and/or stop in the left lane just to assert your right to control others. When you get a big old truck up your arse because the traffic was stopped in the right lane of the freeway and he had nowhere else to go then you might wise up.

Then why does it "grind your gears" if you're not being stopped from moving to the front of the line? If you're just sitting in the right lane and observing someone blocking the left lane (for damn good reason I might add) it shouldn't matter one bit to you. On a straight highway with good visibility, and three miles worth of right lane traffic at a crawl, only a drunk would come up the left lane and plow into somebody. Half the time it's semi drivers who take the initiative and stop the lane cutters. I say, bravo to them.

Your attitude tells me that perhaps there's something you're holding back about your own driving habits.

I don’t mind the utensil so much because you only have to pack half as many of them for a picnic. I wonder, however, if we hadn’t the name “spork” whether we would have ended up with those gross, “cutesy” celebrity nicknames like “Tom-Kat” or “Brangelina”.

Apparently you can not read.

Blocking a lane is illegal and also a hazard.

You are “putting words in my mouth” so as to have an argument about something I never said.

This tells me you are either an ignorant fool or just a cantankerous prick who likes to cause trouble.

Now go away.

Just admit that you've got issues and let it go. You are defending front jumpers, and everyone here knows it.

You think you're hot stuff. If that makes you feel better, by all means, wallow in it.
