Touchdown! Greaser!
I've always thought it to be archaic form, but I didn't know it was incorrect.
I don't know if it's incorrect or not, but it's defiantly a pet peeve. Now, if they would say "hitherto" or "heretofore" instead...

Went out to dinner last night. Bill was $13.00 I put down a $20. What do I get back... A five and a one. WTF am I suppose to do with that? Either an 8% tip if I leave the single or 38% service was good but not that good.
Re: waiters/waitresses
If you're paying cash...when they pick up the bill and your cash and say "do you need change".
I think that's the most rude and pretentious freakin thing they could possibly say and by doing so they just reduced their tip by half.

There, their, they're -- this one can be inadvertent for sure, especially on quickie board posts. But come on.
its vs it's - one is the possessive of it and the other is a contraction of "it is" - 3rd grade stuff.
use of apostrophes in plurals - OMG people, apostrophes are for use in possessives and contractions NOT plurals. I see TONS of people putting apostrophe's in plural's. It's not that hard.
People who repeat other's pet peeves.
BTW you contradicted yourself. First you say a contraction isn't possessive then you turn right around and say it is!
Hence the reason the English language is such a joke (especially the Americanized version) and why many of us really don't give a sh*t when others make silly mistakes.
I'm not sure to laugh or cry when this happens.
Scenerio: I am making a purchase.
Cashier: That will be $16.31 please.
Me: I give them $21.36
Cashier: "Oh, um... OK, just a second please." And then go looking for an assistant manager to make the change. Or they hand me back $1.36 and go from there.
Really. Cashier can't do simple math. Plus most cash registers will do this for you.
Why would you give them the extra nickel just to get it back?

Ugh, no, you haven't eaten real Mexican, you've been eating Tex Mex crap. If I want an enchilada, I'll order an enchilada. If I order a carne asada burrito from a real Mexican burrito shop, I get my meat, cheese, and onions wrapped in a flour tortilla that I can hold in my hands.
Another pet peeve is internet tough guys.
A smarter server would have given you ones but I would have just asked the server to break the five if I didn't have some loose ones.
But who carries ones these days unless they plan on going to a strip club, or they just got off shift from one.
I've heard strippers are now getting ****y over one dollar bills. Now they want fives with inflation and all...
No it's cool, that's how you use that. Plus like nobody else is tried too.
Here's an aviation related PP.... I KNOW most of you dinks are guilty.
Calling your airplane a "bird".

I like to waste time and watch fail videos on Youtube. I can not stand it when something happens and the camera person lowers the camera..Really keep it on the subject no matter what!

Now to toast the pious among you.... People who have to include every crash/accident victim and their families "in their prayers".

And don't forget those who include " they died doing what they loved."
Sure, I'll say that- if it was death by snu-snu :wink2:.
Lol, I agree with this. Btw, I love that you called us all 'dinks'. Fitting.
