Pet Peeves

[troyer]

Pet peeve: I used to have an employer that called aluminum, alunumin. I was usually with him when we went to the supplier to pick it up and the clerks would often look at him like he was a bit kooky. For some reason it would just really grind my gears, when it finally ground my sprockets smooth, I mentioned it to him and he didn't even realize it. He pronounced it right numerous times and we kept on working. The next day he was right back at pronouncing it alunumin. Thankfully I was able to laugh about it from that time on. It became a bit of a humorous joke amongst the rest of the workers. Sometimes when one of us needed a piece of trim we would holler to him, I NEED A PIECE OF 5" ALUNUMIN FASCIA! He never caught on and we never again brought it to his attention.

If we quit now I'm afraid my trucks radio clock will be off a hour forever.

Does that mean you would be one hour ahead of everybody else or would it mean you would be one hour behind.

No I would think everyone would adjust to be on my time.

Isn't it right time 6 months out of 12?

It is now but these wackos want to quit changing the time. If we do that right now it's gonna be wrong forever.

People. People are my pet peeve. People that are stupid and rude. Like the cart abandoners at Walmart. Or the people that pull out in front of you then go 10mph below the speed limit. Or the teachers that, no matter how many times you ask them, refuse to send their students down to the cafeteria without their lunch numbers, then when you ask the kid what their name is they tell you their mommy never gave them a name

But if the time is right now and we don't change the time forward or back again, it will stay correct. Correct?
