You know what really bugs me? The phrase pet peeve.Another stupid thing that you hear people say is, "How many times haven't I said...." Um, I don't know. If you've said it seven times, then the answer is all of them minus seven. What do I win?
Sometimes I'll be wearing a jacket indoors, and despite the fact that there are 18 people in the room who aren't wearing jackets, some genius will come up to me and say, "Are you cold?" Why would I be cold? I'm wearing a jacket. Ask the moron in the t-shirt.
One time I had a mental health screening with a psychologist, who asked me whether I saw or heard things that weren't there. I responded, "How would I know?"
Or maybe I didn't, come to think of it.
Speaking of stupid things people say, while writing this I heard a political advertisement on the radio that explained how one candidate was tough on terror, while the other one thought North Korea should be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons (It's possible that they were misrepresenting his position slightly). The commercial ended with this happy little tagline: "Is there a difference between candidate A and candidate B? You bet your life there is."
Get it? Because we're all going to die in a terrorist attack. Funny stuff.
Happy Election Day!
