    To build on this... Why do some chain restaurants have a tip jar at the cashier (Chipotle).

    Absolutely boggles my mind.

    Going out on a limb and will probably get a little flack for it.. but the new words or phrases lately, ike "Muntly" instead of monthly and "have a goot one", not "have a good one". Plus, the all time most annoying.. axe, as in "can I axe you a question?" My wife just shakes her head when I rant about it. She always brings up my Dad saying stuff like "holler" instead of hollow, or "crick" instead of creek. I argue that his words were a local thing, while axe, goot, muntly are all over the country.. people seem to think it is the new cool thing to butcher words on purpose.

    Exactly, these people do not seem to either know or care that they sound like idiots. Whateves, Cra, like I told my kids when they were little. Use your words. And damnit pick up your feet when you walk.

    I have one of my own. People who are either rude or stupid, it's one or the other either you try to screw it up for everybody else making you rude, or you have zero self awareness and are too stupid to realize you are screwing it up for everybody else. You can find people like this everywhere but they are usually concentrated in areas where others are in a hurry like grocery stores and airports.

    They're - They freaking are
    Their - Shows freaking possession
    There - Specifies a freaking location

    You're - You freaking are
    Your - Shows freaking possession

    We're - We freaking are
    Were - Past freaking tense of "are"
    Where - Specifies a freaking location

    Than - A freaking comparison
    Then - A point in freaking time

    I thought a Prius made a noise? Every time I hear one go by I swear it sounds like "swwww-I'm-gay-oooosh"

    As efficient as the feds are, the actual ruling won't be done until this year. Toyota was just being proactive about making their vehicles make noise at low speeds. So unhooking it should be fine.

    The Ford trucks and other vehicles with fake rumbles are pretending just for pretends sake. That's lamer than my fake ufo 'warning noise'. :)

    They only make the 'IIIIIII mmmmm gaaaaaaaaaay!' noise at higher speeds. At low speeds you won't even know they are there until they bump you on the butt. ;)

    If prius warning noises were programmable. A track of George takei saying "ooooohh myyyyy!" would probably be a pretty good seller.

    My car does have the 'meep' horn. It's embarrassing to try and honk at any one.

    I don't know why it took me so long to look at this thread, but it contains some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard! I was actually laughing out loud numerous times. There were just too many posts to read them all, but none of the one's I did read mentioned PANTS HANGING OFF THE ***. If you dress (used loosely) like this I don't like you a little bit!

    The other thing that absolutely annoys me is when somebody says "where's he at"? When I was in grade school I was taught never to end a sentence with a preposition. Did they change the rules of the English language since I was in school? You'll even hear TV news "professionals" say it.

    Browning and mathews stickers on cars that don't own either. And people that wear camo for like every day clothing, especially when I know they don't hunt.
    Also people in my college that pay hundreds for classes then sit on their phone the whole time and wonder why they never learn anything. This girl has been in my ag classes for 6 months or so and read the abbreviation "175 bu." as 175 "buckets" when it should be "bushels". Just something I think you should know after a semester and a half of hearing it everyday

    I'd be pretty disappointed getting 175 buckets an acre for my corn!

    Our vet wants $600 for our dog to be neutered because he is a cryptorchid....he has one less testicle so you are going to double the cost? I feel like all veterinarian's are scammers for money and none of them care for your pets issue. Oh and they have to muzzle your dog if its over 100# ?!? really? Do you only deal with little toy dogs and cats every day? More blood work and test to run for what? I really hate vet bills......
