Stupid Things Bother Me

Not regular stupid things, like bad traffic lights, but the STUPIDEST things bother me.

For example, I can buy lemon Coke, or Coke with lime, but can I get orange coke? How about grapefruit?

People who use the wrong homonym bother me, even though I do it myself (especially with their/they're and to/two/too.) Freudian, yes. Stupid? Yes.

In fact, I just reread an email I sent where I wrote "how" and meant "once". How did I do that?

When the double-ply toilet paper tearoff edges don't match, I FIX THEM. Does anyone else do that?

Irregardless irritates me regardless of the fact that some people think its a word.

And apostrophes are not to be used for pluralization. It was the 70s people! Not the 70's!!

And it's not just language. I drive by an entrance ramp that "never happened". There's where the lane should come in, but it doesn't.

The word "degrees" is redundant, but that one doesn't bother me.

The dishwasher is for washing the dishes. Why would I wash them before I wash them? That's like cleaning the house for the maid service.

I can't remember if three-of-a-kind beats a flush. I will need to know this tomorrow!

Gas is not worth $4/gallon. If you raise the price again you will kill the recovery -- you idiots!

In Russia does Death carry a sickle? Does he have osteoporosis?

If evolution works then why is there roadkill?

Bret Favre would be the worst thing to happen to the Vikings since Jeff George.

Everyone remembers Rubik's [possession is a valid use for apostrophe for nouns, but not pronouns] Cube, but no one remembers Rubik's Revenge.

Capital letters are for titles, sentence beginnings and proper nouns. Not for every word you think is important.

It's pronounced "im-port-ant" not "im-pord-an".

No, Amazon, I did not write any college textbooks (altough you can send me the proceeds if you like. ;P )

The counterpart of testosterone is progesterone, not estrogen. [The estrogen counterpart is called androgen.]

Polygamy is not strictly polygyny, but also can mean polyandry.

Are platypii and spiny anteaters really mammals?
