Are you sure he didn't say:
"If that ball gets past him, it's definitely a run."?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
yes the lane is ending but you are supposed to use both lanes to the merge point. then at the merge point you alternate turnsno name wrote:Well everyone else was smart enough to get in the lane that was going to be open, this guy goes right to the front, passing up the people who know how to read the sign that this lane is closing. You would of thought he would of gotten in like the rest of us.joopen wrote:actually they are not line cutters. they are doing what everyone else should be doing. USE BOTH LANES TO THE MERGE POINT. its not on the sign for fun and games. use both lanes then alternate turns. its really not something to get bent out of shape about because you refuse to read the sign.no name wrote:Line cutters in any situation, espicially in a car, where 2 lanes goto one, and people drive right to the cones and squeeze their way in. I hate that to no end. Best thing i ever saw was a person do that, and the one guy would not let him in, he must of hated line cutters also, so this idiot squeezes his way in and slams into the car infront of him, LOL hahaha. That guy drives around him laughing his butt off looking at the guy. The guy who hit the car infront of him was madder than ever, it was his own damn fault.

People, and there are so so many of them, who pronounce the days of the week such as "Mondee, Wednesdee, Yesterdee." Its pronounced MonDAY, SaturDAY. Even trying to say "yesterdee" and it takes more effortt than just letting the correct way flow off the tounge. Nobody says, "How are you todee?" So why change it for the rest of the week

My one coworker and I pretty much have lunch together every day. It just sort of happened when I started here and got the office beside her desk. Today, she had to work through lunch because she's leaving early. Starting at 9:00, every half hour I'd hear "So what are you doing for lunch?" I responded with "I don't know yet." Starting at 11:00 it was every 15 minutes. I nearly yelled. "WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHEN YOU'RE NOT GOING?!" but I refrained.
It drove me freakin' nuts this morning.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
You should have just said nothing, instead of "i don't know"...that implies that you may know at some future time.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
When customers walk right up to you at work and say "You look like you're bored"
No, you ass. I'm in the middle of something, hence my typing and writing things down.
Guy just walked up to me and says "I was going to get all this stuff together outside, but you folks look like you're bored in here, so i'll let you handle it." No problem, I know how hard it is for you to put the date on a few pieces of paper and seal the envelope yourself.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Man do I hate it when your eating and enjoying something and someone makes a negative comment about it.
For instance, you're eating oatmeal with raisins and someone comes in and goes "eeew, you actually eat that stuff? It looks like something the dog coughed up with little rabbit turds in it!"
I just want to get up and dump the rest of it over their head.

One of my friends at work used to always ask me where I went for lunch every day, and if said Chinese would always respond with "Yuck!ExPatriatePen wrote:Man do I hate it when your eating and enjoying something and someone makes a negative comment about it.

You and me. Everyone else wants to sit in a two mile backup in the open lane then grouch when we blow past them to the merge point.JS© wrote:Am I the only one who uses the unwritten rule or merging, which is let one car merge and move on?PenguinSteve-o wrote:

When people say:
"I could care less", it's I couldn't care less
PIN number, it's PIN, Personal identification number, not Personal identification number number
"I could care less", it's I couldn't care less
PIN number, it's PIN, Personal identification number, not Personal identification number number

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Apparently this is only a Pittsburgh thing. I was driving around Pittsburgh with someone who lives in NYC and he was saying that only in Pittsburgh will people merge a mile ahead of time, when it is far more efficient to merge at the merge point.PghSkins wrote:You and me.
