people taking back cards they'd totally put in the throw-in-the-card pile a slit second earlier cos they see somewhere they could've laid it down.
ABC stores.
Get with the fucking times NC!
When something electric will not work, people always say it has a short.
When ppl say the word short and then my first reaction is to do a Martin Short impression.
I really fucking hate it when people use the word "literally" when they mean "figuratively".
I read an article about Tarvaris Jackson (that's another tilt altogether) saying that "The quarterback is the literal bottleneck of the offense." NO!!!
We have a sign here at work for a Weight Watchers group. It says that eating right, losing weight etc and your life will literally start all over. NO!!!!
GRRRRRR!!!!!
I symbolically type a literal iteration of a figurative response to the allegory of Hawk's metaphor
it's like a simile!
Idk, the sentence would be really strange if you said "that quarterback is the figurative bottleneck of the offence". The use of "literally" in that sense can be argued to be a hyperbole (not to be confused with the Superbowl badum-tschhhh), albeit in rather poor style.
Non-literal “literally” isn’t wrong. That said… « Motivated Grammar
Well isn't being a bottleneck a literal thing
I wouldn't use the word "figuratively" there either, but at least it would be correct. When you say something is a bottleneck it's pretty much implied that you mean it figuratively unless you are talking about the top of a bottle.
It wouldn't tilt me as much if it was just a general improper use of a word. It's that it's used in a way that is exactly the opposite of the meaning of the word.
it's like this
he's the bottleneck of the team
he's *really* the bottleneck of the team
he's *absolutely* the botteneck of the team
he's *totally* the bottleneck of the team
see how if you were to take any of those adverbs literally it doesn't make all that much sense either? so "literally" is literally the most extreme form of such hyperbolising adverbs.
I get what you are saying, but I disagree.
I feel like those examples are still just leaving out the implied "figuratively" (he's really the figurative bottleneck)
It's a spot where the writer obviously just wanted some emphasis there. I get that. Literal(ly) is not an emphasis word though. I wish they'd choose a word that isn't defined as the literal (see what I did there?) opposite of their intent.
The fact that I'm normally impeccable with spelling and yet I can't for the life of me ever remember how to spell barrel and find myself looking it up.
This, apart from the usually being a bad ass at spelling thing.Quote:

bears eating peeps
You mean the marshmellow kind? Coz I thing that would be kinda fun to watch.
Blame the peeps, not the bears.
Shut your dirty hole of a mouth. Those innocent people did nothing to invite the bears to eat them, they were just acting within their own gentle human nature. The bears have no excuse!
If a bear eats you now, you can blame this post. It might be the Year 2081, but you'll remember this post, I know it.Quote:

How absurdly loud my flatmates talk when we're sitting at the table. We're all right beside each other guys :(
WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!?!?!
Directors who think white gym socks + hair bunches = teenager
Directors who think blonde strippers + implants = milfs
loud, bad music. especially at parties
People who come for dinner and bring some shit like Blossom Hill.
Queue jumpers
People who shove their way into public transit trains when obviously there's a huge mob of people waiting to get out first.
Here's a big one: the sound of gnashing teeth against cutlery, especially tilting when it's a spoon. Why are you biting your soup? I used to do this when I was a kid and thankfully was taught by my parents not to do it. I did it because eww lips against metal that other lips have touched eww germs. Therefore I have this theory that virgins have a higher likelyhood of exhibiting this behavior.
So did your mum have sex with you in exchange for improved table manners?Quote:

Graffiti in the bathroom stalls at work. Grow up guys, seriously.
People who say bathroom stalls. That's even gayer than restroom, WC and even lavatory.
Korean spies
Also, when you sit at someone else's desk in the office and a colleague makes a joke about how they look different.
"I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out"...especially at the rink
Instead of graffiti at work, we have piss all over the floor...large puddles of it. And this is not a public restroom, it's a secure building and only people on my floor use this restroom. It's the people I talk to every day that can't hit the urinal just inches away. This really bothers me.Quote:

Porta johns don't have trash cans, so when these guys come up here to work they pile it up in the corner on the floor. There's also the guys that won't touch their ass to the toilet, even with an ass gasket, so they stand on the seat. You can imagine how good their aim is.
On that note, my wife just brought me a breakfast burrito. Yum.
In some places they eat with their right hand and wipe their arse with the left. They don't use paper. It's a curious world out there.
