Kstme | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 06:32 pm   Weinermr...I LOVED YOUR PUN!! |
Carigsby | Wednesday, October 03, 2001 - 06:50 pm   Nutsy - it's always been pleaded - everyone that said plead was mis-stating. I was a reporter for 6 years and for the first 2 I covered the courthouse - I always said "plead" and got my tail REAMED for it. Apparently, it is a widely misused word and those that use it correctly feel like they are better than those who use it incorrectly. All the while, the general population is saying "wha?" when they hear the word pleaded because it sounds wrong. |
Donut | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 12:08 am   weinermr:you have really opened up a can of worms with these puns! Now my husband who never was into puns, has started fishing for them and has gotten hooked! When he saw the one i wrote to kstme above, he said that i really Cracked him up and he couldnt Wipe the smile off his face. Many more unrepeatable` puns followed, and he ended with "fiber con dios" You are such a trouble maker!;) |
Weinermr | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 12:31 am   Donut - We're gonna have to change your nic to Night Owl. Go to bed! But seriously, I'm going to go to bed soon 'cause no matter what time I lay my head on the pillow, I'll be up early. If I don't wake up on my own, the cat will wake me up for her breakfast. I'm wheel glad to hear your hub has turned into a punster when he spoke. Conversations now can revolve around puns. You won't tire of them. Hey wait a minute. Isn't this the pet peeve thread? I'm confused. I've had a pet cat and a pet dog, but never a pet peeve. They're too hard to feed. |
Nutsy | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 06:37 am   Car - THANK YOU!!! You have no idea how frustrated I've been for the last couple years over this! Couldn't find anyone who could explain it!! My dictionary shows both as being correct, but I'm in Canada *shrug* |
Alib | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 08:18 am   My pet peeves are both children related - when dishes are left on the counter and not put into the dishwasher mere inches away when the portable phone is left where it was last used (usually in the basement or garage) all night so that its battery runs down when mother or father answer it sometime the next day |
Bernie | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 08:33 am   ACTUALLY, I'm with Weinermr on the misuse of words, because ACTUALLY, I feel just the same, and I ACTUALLY said so on another thread long ago-ACTUALLY, it was in the Big Brother area, and LIKE, I wanted to support Weinermr, because, I LIKE, sort of, think that he, LIKE, thinks the same way, LIKE, don't you, Weinermr? |
Weinermr | Thursday, October 04, 2001 - 09:13 am   Basically Bernie, I do. I'm going to like, go ahead and agree with you. |
Bernie | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 01:51 am   Hehehehehe.... |
Kstme | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 09:16 am   I am so excited...my pet peed in her new box... new glasses for moi?...oops...Pet PEEVES!  |
Goddess146 | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 09:49 am   I am going to name my next "Peeve." Will that count as a pet peeve? |
Weinermr | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 11:06 am   Yes Goddess, but only if you pet it. You have to pet your pet peeve in order for it to be petted. Or is that peatted? Or pleaded? Or pledded? Unless your pet peeve is peevish. Then you best not pet your pet peeve. But if your pet peeve is not peevish, then is it really a peeve? This is the next hot button, very long, tempers flaring, nostrils flaring, I'm so angry I can taste it thread, I can tell. |
Weinermr | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 11:08 am   My pet peeve - I don't have access to that hotsy totsy BB Belgium live feed or show that Goddess was so kind to tell us about it at BB2 land. Rats! |
Kstme | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 11:50 am   SHOOSH...<<throwing some water on Weinermr from the bucket I keep at the "Anderson Hottie Thread"...>>

Weinermr | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 12:04 pm   Thanks Kstme.... I needed that! |
Kstme | Friday, October 05, 2001 - 12:09 pm   Weinermr...Anytime...I'm in stitches over your "headline" message in the BB Belgium thread! OMG! Reasons why I won't let my dh near the puter!  |
Carigsby | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 10:51 am   This has always bugged me - but I have experienced it TOO many times in the past week. When I go somewhere to do business (retail store, restaurant, bank, whatever) and after I have completed my business, I always say thank you. I was raised to use please and thank you profusely - so I do. What absolutely drives me bonkers is when the clerk, waiter, teller, says you're welcome after I've said thank you. WHAT IS THAT?!? They should also be saying thank you - not you're welcome. Have they performed some great service that they shouldn't say thank you to me - their customer????? Another thing - when people use the term "general consensus". It's so redundant!!!! |

Oregonfire | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 11:33 am   I hate it when I make an offhand comment to someone like "I'm scared of big German Shepard dogs that could possibly rip your throat out," and then, when I'm with that person at a later date, and I see a cute dog (any size), I say "Oh that dog's so cute!" and then that person says "You said that you don't like dogs," and keeps on insisting that I don't like them. But I'm telling you NOW that I do--what would be my motivation to lie about it? It's so annoying. Other people do it too with different subject matter. (I wonder if I do it myself.) To paraphrase Walt Whitman: Do I contradict myself? Then I contradict myself. I am vast; I contain multitudes. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 11:37 am   Oregonfire, yes, it is infuriating when another tells us what we like or don't like and *insist* they know, even argue. A good answer is, "Well you certainly would know better than I." Snide but effective. |
Chippy | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 11:37 am   Ate out the other night. Pretty good food, service, atmosphere, etc. The bill comes and it's $28. and some cents. I put a $50. bill on the little plate and the waitress says (when she picks it up), will you need change for that? WTF? Did she think I was leaving over 20 dollars tip for a 28 dollar check? I think that comment will just turn some folks off to tipping at all. Made me mad! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 11:56 am   She probably mistook it for a $30 dollar bill. Happens everyday.  |
Kayewer | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 12:45 pm   What about when you answer the phone at work and give your spiel ("XYZ Company, Jane speaking, may I help you?"), and the customer starts right off with, "Is this the XYZ Company?" followed almost at once by "What is your name, hon?" I also despise when somebody puts me on the speaker phone. You can always hear your own voice echoing in the phone and it's downright distracting. What about when customers start off a conversation with those dreaded words, "You people." Yes, me people, but what are you? |
Cutiepie007 | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 05:13 pm   i hate when people say "greazy" instead of "greasy." i have a client who says a word - can't think of the word right now, and pronounces the "s" as a "z." |
Cutiepie007 | Thursday, October 18, 2001 - 05:27 pm   another pet peeve: when i see stray cats on the street. that drives me up a wall because you know eventually they will be hit by a car. i have two cats, so i am very sensitive to this. |
