Yeah, I hear you. I'm assuming that's your name.



It is not.  I did, however, spend a year at a university by that name, but that was long before people decided to start pronouncing it Igzavier.

When old people are baffled by the card reader because they don't bother to actually look at it and then complain that "every one is different".

Erm, you could have lassoed another worthy adversary into the Ivan Corral by just typing 'drunks'Wink
 
Nope, there are drunks that act almost normally and don't need to prove they are the reincarnation of Bruce Lee or hug everybody while shouting that the 25 people around him are his best friends.

LOL, not so sure, since like 10 years ago I never have more than one or two drinks, and I have enjoyed the different kind of druks, and I insist, the beligerant and the extremely friendly are the worst.
 
I know people who I can barely talk with if sober, and only with one too many they are likeable and nice guys.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm assuming that's your name.

I can deal with the fact that I have to spell my last name all the time, but I hate that some people here can't pronounce my first name either.
My personal bug-bear is people who put superfluous vowels on the end of my name. My name is deliberately short because my parents hated names that could be truncate so purposely chose a one syllable name for me. Adding more syllables is going against the wishes of my parents and it is not my name. The diminutive of Dean is Dean - adding extra syllable makes it longer, Deano cannot be the diminutive form. Angry
 


Mine gets pronounced like the French word for donkey...

I really hate that service that some people activate on their mobile phones that attempts to convert your voice message into SMS text delivered to their handset. It only leaves sufficient time to blurt out "It's erm me and I was wondering...." before some half deranged smug bitch chips in with "Your message has been sent as an SMS text message"

Don't even start me on packaging Alan. That would warrent a whole new thread of bile spitting mayhem, and I dont think I have the fight in me for that today...

Here's my all on the archives: people giving something a verbal x.5 rating and rounding down.  You know who you are and it's mathematically incorrect. AngryLOL

Your punishment: go back to all the reviews where you did this and make it either an x.4 in your verbage (and why the hell is the official dictionary version of this word verbiage? Angry) or up your star rating properly.

Maybe this will help:

v There's supposed to be a reason why gas is priced like that.  I've heard it before, but it wasn't convincing so I don't remember what it was. LOL

I don't care for people refering to me by my surname alone either - but that's throw-back to school where teachers called girls by their given names and boys by their family names.


My parents did the same thing.  I have a one syllable first name, as do my brothers.  That doesn't stop people calling me Jim, Jimbob or Jamie. Angry
