Spare tyres with covers on the back of cars. Put the bloody cover on straight, how hard is it to have the logo/name straight? Agggghhhh.

It's not even a first world problem, it's just a peeve that makes me slightly (more) irrational.:p

I do that sometimes. I intend to indicate a pause, time for what I said to sink in. Most, the very large majority, probably 90%+, of the ".....'s" I type initially, I go back and replace with a paragraph break before I hit the Submit Reply button. :nod:

It's not the ellipsis itself that is the problem in the example you provided anyway, it's the misuse of it.

Arsebook was a treasure trove of shite this morning. From the mass panic that for the first time in its 4.6 billion year history, the earth has long since passed the autumnal equinox in its orbit and it might get a bit cold within the next six weeks, all the way through people who think the month in which they were born defines their personalities and the unbelievable revelation that someone might see a Christmas light (imagine the horror), all the way to climate change deniers on a pro-science/anti-vax type of a page I follow.

These are the ****ing times we live in. **** me sideways.

You seem a bit tense so early in the week? Not enough coffee? ..... Or too much? :unsure:

Quick question how can a page be pro-science AND Anti-vax?

Because I'm ****ing retarded. I meant anti-anti-vax. ****.

Ok so pro-science and pro-vax. I get it now.
