Re: Pet Peeves?
The whole idea is stupid anyway. People shouldn't be congratulated for having children - it's the entire point of any species' existence to reproduce. But of course, our species decided that it's appropriate to waste your money on someone for doing what they are biologically driven to do.
In that case, I want a card every time I take a shit, or drink a glass of water.
****ing attention whoring ****sticks.

Re: Pet Peeves?
When you're slowing down for a red light and timing it so that you can roll through when it turns green....but it stays red and you stop for about one second before it changes green.
It's like that nearly every time at the lights near the mall, made worse as the string of lights on the road are out of sync so you can never go through more than a set without stopping.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Every time unemployment statistics show fewer unemployed people, some idiot will say that it is because their benefits ran out or that it is because of seasonal workers. Neither of those things affect the unemployment rate. It doesn't matter if you tell them that, they will say the exact same thing next time.

Re: Pet Peeves?
The better figure to use is the number of people gainfully employed. People do drop off the unemployment figure if they stop claiming unemployment. The figures are seasonally adjusted to take account of seasonal workers.
