    Lowercase "I" where there shouldn't be one will see me twitch. An entire written post with nothing but lowercase "I" will see me throw a book against a wall.

    A text message with lowercase "I" in it? Death.

    All I'd have to do is turn my hearing aid off and welcome the sweet, sweet release of silence.

    BOGO sales that aren't 'buy one, get one free'. 'Buy one, get one 50 percent off' is not BOGO.

    Knowing the mark up on things, even those things on sale, and still stuck paying an absolute premium price on some thing that only cost the story a buck or two at best. :supermad:
    Lets's just say for the sake of things that you pay way more on clothes than they are actually worth wholesale.

    That neighbor who says "Ya outta get some weed killer!" while I'm bent over pulling weeds under my office and bedroom windows in humid 85-degree heat.

    If I wanted to breathe chemicals every time I opened a damn window do ya think I'd be pulling weeds?

    Mmmmmm BBQed gecko! (Lots of babies running around, all smaller than the local bugs.)

    But seriously, Ash, keep that quiet. We don't need to give any of the old-timers any ideas.

    People who spend good money on balloons, flowers, and stuffed animals to lay outside the homes of dead celebrities they never met.

    *Pulling up to a toll booth*

    Employee: "Hello, sir, what can I help you with today?"

    Me: "...Gotta pay this toll, unfortunately..."

    "Haha, yeah. You could use the easy pass over there, but I think it costs a little more money."

    "No shit? Learn something new everyday....."

    I don't hate captain obvious whenever he appears, but man, early in the morning is not the time to meet him.

    The best response I have ever heard was when my buddy Al and his wife were buying a bunch of groceries for a party that night. This was back in the day that you always got a bag.

    "Paper or plastic ?" was the question at the check out.

    Al answered, "Doesn't matter, I am bi-sacxual"

    I've been having this a lot recently. I keep spelling occasionally wrong. Irony-that time, I got it right!!
