Pet Peeves

Ain’t is not in the dictionary its not even a word, like what?

It actually is

I have a certain way I like the dishes in the cupboard. Matching glasses go in the same area in a line - the same with matching bowls they go in the same stack, plates, etc. I can't stand it when the glasses are in the wrong line or the bowls are stacked altogether and not separated by color even if the color is a faint line around the edge of the bowl.
It's just me and the hubby here. Guess who doesn't put the dishes away properly? The same person that leaves used tissues in his pants pockets.

Amen! Keep it symmetrical if at all possible! Not this haphazard modern new age confusion.

I know but it’s just , use proper grammar.

You just said it wasn't. And so what if people use it? It gets the point across, and I ain't stopping

In the interest of not saying something I may regret, I'll stop here. I'm not Sister Mary Oliphant, after all. Putting the ruler down.

I think she taught 7th grade when I was at Our Lady of Perpetual Payments.

Sorry I meant in my opinion, it’s not a “real word” honeslty I use it too but it just, bothers me for some reason

People standing unnecessarily close behind you while waiting in line. This was a mere pet peeve before Covid; now it makes my ears smoke.

It would be worth being a casual onlooker, just to see it.

For that reason, it is best to use regardless instead."

Further down in Merriam" It continues. Even my spellchecker tries to change it.

Thank you. Bows respectfully.

Y'all prolly wont understand unless u show cows but I really dislike it when people "paint" there cows
Especially when it's like they cover the poor calf in like 4 cans and it looks like plastic


It's essentially like makeup/foundation for cows I guess and it annoys the crap ot ofme cause the judge shouldn't be picking your calf cause you sprayed the most paint on it and made it look wussy
