Pet Peeves

I use the term re-purpose, too.

Yes! See, that is a perfectly good word, too! I prefer that one as well.

I've heard people say pled. Is that not an actual word, then?

When people say "pet" when they mean "petted." As if "pet" is the past tense of "pet." You "petted" the dog. Yes you did. Say it.

While many think pet is the past tense of pet, it is actually petted. Pet is a regular verb, so it follows the standard conjugation pattern of English verbs.

Here you go. A recycled mason jar and some repurposed galvanized piping make a fabulous upcycled industrial desk light.

Cool resource. It doesn't quite fit the industrial/steampunk aesthetic I shoot for with my lamps, but I see a TON of good ideas for other stuff there.

It can with a hammer and crinkle paint

That's interesting, Steph. I don't think I have ever heard someone use "pet" in past tense form.

when someone pets a animal (like a mouse, or chicken) like a dog. Like, come on? your smashing them to the ground with your hand ruffling them up! weirdo..

Oh yeah there you go! People ruffling and scrubbing my long-haired dogs' hair into tangled knots and mats, especially behind the ears, instead of stroking them politely from stem to stern. How'd you like me to do that to YOUR hair?

Exactly, you would think petting a animal would be the EASIEST thing to do.

then i sound all nitpicky when i tell them to not pet them like that, its just so hard to watch.
