Note: "fat, dumb, and happy" is a Southern expression that is not meant to refer to body size, intellectual ability, or emotional state. It basically means doing something in a state of oblivion.

LOL  THIS could be me.

I sing along to the blinker noise.

Ok, I have many but this one many people think I am kinda weird about: Waiters or waitresses that give me pharmacy pen to sign the credit card slip with.

Buy your own. You aren't a doctor and I do not need to use a  Viagra, Valtrex, Lunesta or whatever cheap pen you conned off someone.

Sorry it annoys me, I understand its irrational, but you can buy a few nice pens for under $6.00. If you are that worried they will be stolen maybe you should be a better server and get back to the customer faster.

I also get angry when they give me a chewed bic one to use. I tip very well (I usually start at 20%), you are looking at 10% if either of these two events take place.

The phrase "gone missing" and "went missing"

[Anonymous]

I think these are regional expressions, but I silently feel peeved when people say the following two things:

1. "He borrowed me the car."  No, he lent it to you!
2. "I itched it." No, you scratched it!

Whoo! I feel better for having gotten that off my chest... Wait. There's one more (a really weird one).

I absolutely hate it (and this isn't a regional thing, I'm just weird) when people say that a human body part is "tender", indicating some degree of pain. It makes my spine tingle when people say that, even doctors. My DH always laughs at me for that one.

People's whose reality is permanently in the "No Fly Zone"

I am sure you have encountered/dealt with people who really live in an alternative financial reality.  NOTHING is ever their fault - always someone else's fault.
