    Im a Northerner i say Tomato sauce, Hubby is a Southerner he says Ketchup....


    He also has butter on his bacon butties :noway:

    I picked up a couple of bad habits from Southern hubby - saying ketchup is probably one of them. But seriously, butter on bacon butties??

    You need a good divorce lawyer!


    I let him off because he loves Staffordshire oatcakes. If he ever once dreamed of putting butter on them... there would be no going back lol!

    I work at a college, and students are always having loud, animated phone calls( usually on speaker) in the restroom. YUCK! Yes, even while on the toilet! First of all, it's rude to engage in loud personal phone calls in public, secondly it kind of violates my privacy...yeah, now my 'business' can be heard on their speakerphone! If this relates to you: Please just quick say that you will call them back and HANG UP! It is a public R E S T R O O M and it is not an emergency !

    I think you mean IRKS...not Erks... there is big difference between the two.
    erk [urk] noun British Slang.
    1.an aircraftsman of the lowest rank in the Royal Air force.
    2. a worthless, stupid person; jerk.


    irk (ûrk)
    tr.v. irked, irk·ing, irks
    To be irritating, wearisome, or vexing to. See Synonyms at annoy.


    Go on then - it is also nerve RACKING....

    Wrecking - to destroy
    Racking - intensely distressing

    LOL LOL @WRECKING AND RACKING!
    True true true!!!!

    Buttering the bread of a bacon buttie is wrong. Frying mushrooms in a vat of butter and decanting that onto the sandwich is, however, a valid application of butter onto one.

    I'm the same I walk into a restroom and someone comes out the stall and goes straight for the door. I want to grab their wrists, stand behind them and put their hands under the water with soap and sing, "This is the way we wash our hands, wash our hands, wash our hands. This is the way we wash our hands, after we go potty."


    I am done with life after reading your post. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I actually love knowing that so many people out there become wrecks over the most trivial things.
    Makes me feel positively well adjusted by comparison.

    I raise my coffee cup in tribute to you all.


    Sluuuurrrp.

    AMEN!!!

    People who say "nucular" (for nuclear), "realator" (for realtor), "jewlery" (for jewelry) and a variety of other mispronounced words.

    Oh, and the word "irregardless" just pisses me off no matter how you pronounce it. It means the exact same thing as "regardless". It's a BS made up word (yes, I know it's in the dictionary, I don't care).

    AHH!! I hate when people spit in public too! AHH! On windy days it's the worst because you have to worry about it blowing on you if you are standing next to them. That has happened to me before. Ahh..thinking back at that makes me feel sick.

    People who walk zombie-like down the sidewalk while staring at their mobile phone--usually while typing on it.
    Just yesterday- I am walking back from the store with a case of G2 behind this guy who stops in the MIDDLE of the lane in the parking lot to read his Blackberry. I almost walked into his back- then stepped around him and said "hey buddy- you are in the middle of the road". He did not even look up until I had dumped my juice in the trunk and was about to get in the driver's seat.
    It had me laughing until I reached my destination.

    A man who boards horses at my farm brings his german shepherd in the morning and ties him up. As soon as I appear he starts yelling "Cory, behave. BEHAVE! No barking. We won't have any barking from you today. Cory!"

    Meanwhile....the dog never even moved or made a peep.

    Grumpy old *kitten*.

    That's the only thing that pisses me off lately.
