Thanks for sharing. I got a good chuckle out several.
Climbing on my motorcycle, fastening my helmet, and someone says "Ride safe". Like I might forget so survive? Like I can make other drivers hang up their phones? It's like "Ride Safe" is code for "I can't ride one myself so I'm afraid you can't either". This applies to cars to. "Drive safe". I prefer "Drive fast, take chances and don't use your turn signal cause it's nobody's business what direction you are gonna go anyway!"

huh... that's not what we mean when we say that...
among the engineers I work with it means that moment when everyone stands up and looks around over the tops of their cubes... it usually happens when something affects the whole office, like the internet going out. everyone pops their heads over the tops of the cube walls to see if everyone else's internet is out also... like prarie dogs popping out of their holes and sitting up on their haunches to look around.

Don't know if someone mentioned this already, but it gets me EVERY. BLOODY. TIME....

"No offense, but..."

Dude. If you say "No offense" or "I don't mean to offend", you are going to be offensive. You should probably STOP TALKING NOW.

When people say "between you and I" ...

Irregardless of all of ya'lls pet peeves with speech, I have to say, bless your pea-picking little hearts.

It drives me nuts to hear the folks around here talke about where they live. "Where you stayin now?" "I was stayin near the river but I moved last week so now I'm stayin downtown." OR, "You stay near here?" To which I answer, "No, I LIVE about 40 miles away."

Also the "How are you?" question. If you ask me 'How are you?" as we pass in the hall and you don't even slow down, is it ok for me to chase after you telling you how I am??? You DID ask...

the "but..." is the real culprit there - basically says ignore everything that went before this, here's what i REALLY mean to say...

so if you're going to be a 'but', don't shine me with the first part. just shoot me between the eyes with your point.
I'm tough.
I can take it.
<where's that tough-looking :macho: icon?>
