That would be very entertaining. Exactly how much trouble would that get you in though, is it worth the risk?

People on forums anywhere and everywhere who use the wrong form of
  • there vs their
  • your vs you're

It's either laziness or ignorance. I'm going with ignorance and lay the blame squarely at the education system experienced by these poor individuals.

Nice little rap number(!) here all about 'your' vs 'you're'...

And yes, I accept I need to get out more etc etc etc blah blah blah.... BUT USE THE RIGHT ONE NUMB NUTS!!! :angry_smile:

Stupid bl@@dy people that go down the up lanes in car parks. Doesn't the direction arrows or the way the cars are parked give them any clues.

It's possible - in that quantum physics kind of way - you know - where anything is possible... just mostly not very probable...:eek:

I hate the way that other car drivers get arsey when I am driving down an up arrow in car parks... they're always in the middle of the lane as if the last thing they're expecting is somebody coming the other way...:ohmy:

Dog owners who don't control their dogs. Just because it's the size of a soccer ball and on a leash, it doesn't make it OK for the "cute" little fur ball to be snapping and growling and going berserk at passing dogs and cyclists - especially when the leash is about 18 feet long. The temptation is to kick the dog but it's the stupid human on the other end of the lead that deserves it.

We have 4 dogs...

And we totally agree - gives the rest of us a bad name, and you're right, it is not the dog's fault... An idiot with a dog is still an idiot, no matter how cute the dog is...

That reminded me of a funny quote by a pitbull owner. She said "There are no bad dogs, only bad owners". About a year later her own dog was put down after attacking someone. Okay, the quote wasn't funny at the time, but in context it is. Pre-emptively calling yourself an idiot doesn't make you any less of an idiot.
