Gosh, I'm sorry my childhood trauma of having to be held down by my mother while an ex-Army *kitten* dentist pulled the nubs of my remaining 2 front teeth while I'm screaming my 3 y/o head off. Oh and I'll hop in my TARDIS, travel back 48 years and stop my parents from having sex so I don't get born with poor dental genetics.
I brush twice a day with the "best" toothpaste available to me. I floss despite the stupid *kitten* shredding every time.

My dad also hates dentists because of a military dentist. Air Force. He bit the *sloth* out of a dentist who nearly choked him.
I love my dentist. She's a kook who strongly believes in positive reinforcement, I guess. Or maybe I really AM her favorite patient. Every time I go, she gives me some kind of crazy compliment. Last time, she told me my x-rays were "phenomenal." That's just not something you hear every day.

When someone asks me a question then wants to argue about why my answer isn't right. Seriously?!?!?! If you didn't want my answer why did you ask me in the first place?!?!?7

These are measurements for volume.
1 cup is 8 oz
3/4 cup is 6 oz
1/2 cup is 4 oz
1/3 cup is 2 1/3 oz
1/4 cup is 2 oz
Then you get into Tablespoons and teaspoons which are 1 oz and less.
Some people like to use measuring cups and some like to weigh. I prefer to use a food scale and weigh out everything in grams. I only use measuring cups if my scale is broken. I will add, sometimes depending on the density of a certain item the weight may not be 8 oz for a cup.
You beat me to it.
BTW, a dash is about ten drops.
.
I prefer volume measurements for everything but bread. I can eyeball volume measurements, but I have no idea what a "gram" looks like. It's a more "organic" way of cooking; doing things by eye, and by taste.
eta: oh! and if anyone is wondering, a measuring cup is eight fluid ounces, not weighed ounces.

People who use headphones at the grocery store (?!) & while driving (!!). And the ones who max the volume, so I get to hear their crummy music, too.
In my state, it is against the law to wear headphones while driving. However, the ones who get me are the ones who are listening to music on their headphones in the gym and you can hear them all the way across the weight room.

Oh my gosh, me too!! I saw one yesterday for peanut butter cake. It was just a white cake mix made according to package directions but substitute pb for the oil. Really?? Someone thought that was worth a like and a share?5 -

For a quick approximation, 1 cup is about equal to .25 liter.

If we want to get technical the liquid measuring cups are not the same as dry measuring cups.
Myself, I weigh measured liquid portions and stick to the gram weight. I hate dragging out a bunch of measuring tools!

True. To clarify for people who aren't in the US, both cups are trying to measure the same volume, but they do it in a different way. (There aren't two different units of measurements, one for liquids and one for dry things. It's one unit of volume.)
Also confusing is that a US and UK pint are not the same - the UK one is about 20% more. So if you see references to cups being half a pint, it's half a US pint.2 -

I can't stand people in the weight area that don't bother to rereack their weights when done. I also get annoyed when they won't put them on the right racks by plate size.8

Unless you're Australian. Where a standard measuring cup sizes are the same for weight and volume, but still different to the US:
1 cup = 250mL
4 cups = 1 Litre
1 tablespoon = 15mL
1 tsp = 5mL
Yay for the metric system!
Mine is also related to food metrics. Americans, what the *goshdarnkitten* is a stick of butter? No where else uses it. I have no idea what it is. Related to this is volume-based amounts of butter. 1/4 cup of butter? So I'm meant to smoosh the butter into the quarter cup (which may be a different volume to yours) and then try and scrape it all out with as little residue in the cup as possible? I don't care if it's ounces or grams since my scale can do both, for the worlds sake, give us values in weights.
The other thing I hate at the moment is pedestrians who either:
a) don't know how to walk straight and keep to one side of the footpath, or
b) think its fine to stop dead in a peak hour crowd with people still walking behind them (I may have kneed a guy in the junk by accident because of it this morning, and the *kitten* tried to say it was all my fault).

I hate ex-spouses. Especially when it's your spouse's ex-spouse. I thought all the drama was behind us after 15 years. Nope. Turns out she's going to be just as nuts about our son (my stepson) going to college as she was about him going to kindergarten.8

And to any Brits, "8 ounces" will not be the same as an American sized cup because, despite a persistent habit that has crept onto the Internet of calling American customary units "Imperial", they actually aren't. It's the pre-metric British units that are Imperial, and the most noticeable difference between the two is in measures of volume. An Imperial fluid ounce is smaller than an American fluid ounce. However, the Imperial pint (of 20 oz) is larger than the American pint (of 16 oz) and so are all bigger units. The Imperial gallon is about 20% larger than an American gallon.
And a standard American stick of butter is 1/4 lb (113g), about 1/2 cup (American) in terms of volume.1 -

I Love This!! I hate when the dog owners wait for the dog to poop and walk on by with the dog. The dog seems more embarrassed then the owner. There are some ppl that have their little plastic bags and YAY for those ppl! Those kids pictures and the idea behind it is simply brilliant! I feel like making a couple signs and personalizing them... "Hey lady with 2 black dogs PICK UP DA POOP!" "Hey Guy that walks the black and white little scruffy dog that never stops barking PICK UP HIS POOP" oh and there's so many more.. there would be signs all over the corners!
I have intrusive thoughts enter my head they include ..... picking up that dog poop and shoving it down the back of their shirt. Also running through my mind picking up the poop and leaving it on their windshield with a note... "hey buddy you forgot something". Course I don't know these ppl or where they live... so it'd have to be down the back of their shirt... but I love the idea of the windshield best!
whew... strangely I feel better now. :laugh: Might be I got worked up just now because I found dog poop on my shoe yesterday when feeding the birds.

really?
*googles Aus tablespoon*
I stand corrected. Every tablespoon in my house is 15mL. All bought from Australian stores. And that means 4 teaspoons to a tablespoon instead of 3, because our teaspoon is still 5mL...

Stick of butter:
As you can see 1/4 cup is about half the stick. You just cut it.
Except we don't get butter in sticks, they come in 250g / 500g pats. And the only metric measurements on that package are in mLs, so there's no gram conversion. I wish there was a vote button so I could find out if people actually measure butter in mLs. Not to mention that I'm sure the density of solid vs liquid butter would be different...
