Re: Pet Peeves?
But my point about the yield sign....this evening, someone didn't yield causing a truck to swing out to miss it, swerved into the third lane on one side up in the air...a proper underpant situation as it almost jack knifed, but luckily didn't.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Whining about whinng, now there's a new one.
Do I have to spell it out?
I wasn't calling americans stupid.. just the practice of refusing to accept you're american, but instead having to be a sub-culture american of some kind.
The prefix to the word "American" is what counts for stupidity, not the word American itself. I'd suggest you just reread the post again and try and understand what you're missing, otherwise you're in danger of looking like you're deliberately trying to make an ass of yourself.

Re: Pet Peeves?
It's OK - I don't mind.
I'm just curious.... where did you get the planet you're living on?
The reason I ask is I think the planet I've been living on has got a leak or something. It may be time for a replacement....

Re: Pet Peeves?
People who have a cell phone and then don't bother answering them, why have one if you're never going to answer the bleedin' thing?

Re: Pet Peeves?
I was thinking specifically of my MIL to be honest. She never answers her cell phone, but will answer the house phone which also has caller ID on, so at least I know she's not ignoring me.
