The word "kanji" in reference to Chinese characters. When used within the context of the Japanese language, then fine. Any other time thats some ignorant shit. About 90% of the usages of "Urban". "Urban music". Urban CLothes. Urban Redevelopment. 1/2 the time its used as a safe way to say "black" and the other 1/2 its a way to say "poor". uurg.The word "escalator". for the ones that go up, thats fine, but there are also elcalators that go down, you know, and there should be a different word for those, like de-elevator. or lowerator. or godownerator. I guess I don't know a good homonym for escalate. or elevate, for that matter.I can't post on flickr from work because it uses a goddam yahoo logon and yahoo is blocked here. and i got important shit to say.not enough words rhyme with "boing".

People that say "oh" when reciting addresses or phone numbers, ex. "I live at five-oh-five smith st.". Zero exists for a reason.
say it with me "ee-ran" "ee-rak"
oh and that shoe bomber dude keeps getting called "Puh-dill-uh", just sounds too "King of the Hill" for me
People who pronounce "gang" when saying Ghengis Khan like some ignorant red-stater who doesn't know where Yale is and cant even point out Hyannis Port on the map.
Repeat after me "jenjis kahn"
I thought the shoebomber was richard reed.
I say Oh-7-Oh-5 for the last four digits and say Aye-Raq but I'm a f#ckin hick from Texas.
Please move. Immediately.
Also people that like to tack on the qualifier "at best," as in "mediocre, at best". AAARGGGGH.
God, it's not spelled that way!

Does this comefrom the old rotary phone dial? I remember when i was little our phone number was Tennessen 4 - 1908 (834-1908). T and E where the number 8 and 3 on the rotary. Am I correct that there was no letter O that it skipped O and thats what zero was? I know the dial pad changed the lettering so you could spell words using a dial pad, but I could swear there were missing letters on the rotary.
Drivers who get in completely the wrong lane on a roundabout to avoid queueing and then who carve their way in. Without any thanks. [see Junction 27 of the M1 North, every fucking morning]
Basically people who go out of their way not to use manners. COCKSUCKERS.
The office next to mine seems to be inhabited solely by cretinous frat boys 3-8 years out of college. When they're in the bathroom stalls, they talk on their cellphones. When one is in a stall and another walks in, the second will invariably say, "Oh God! Oh God! Jimmy? You ok in there? Ha ha ha!" And they leave paper towels all over the place.
On my way out yesterday, I head to the elevator just as one of their employees is doing the same. I haven't seen this guy before; he looks like he's in his mid-40s and is wearing a decent-looking suit and an overcoat. [I should add here that elevator small talk also irks me, but only mildly.] As we get in the empty elevator, he says, "Escaping early, huh?" I said, "No, we work 8:00 to 4:30."
He replies, "Lucky! Wait--8 o'clock? Shit...you must have to get up at 5:00!"
I say, "No, I usually get up around 6:15."
While I'm wondering whether or not it's lame of me to judge him for saying "shit" to a complete stranger in a business environment, he adds, "My dick don't even get up at 6:15. Well, sometimes it does. I'm more of a night owl."
The door opens and I escape, but not early enough.
Douchebags. They irk me to no end.
there. that about covers it.
People who say "It's so nice to see a girl playing records, thats very rare....my ass its
Girls who debate with me on what record I played...

"NO, I know that was Miss Kitten...I have it on my podcast"
pfffft. Puh-leeeeease.
Being asked to play Dave Matthews...

do you think Prince's drummer would tell prince that he is playing these covers?
And people thought we would get along!
the pronunciation of "bro" as "brah" or "bruh". hell, don't even say bro, brother.
Giant SUVs with "support our troops" stickers.
Those bluetooth ear things. take that shit off, robocop.
when you go to a resturant and say "what would you recomend?" and the waiter says "what are you in the mood for?". Goddamit, if I knew what I was in the mood for I would have fucking ordered it.
I feel like "would you like that for here or to go?" is a trick question. seriously. because I think they add tax if you eat in-house, but i'm not sure, so its like I want to give a vague answer like "I want it to-go, but I want to eat it here."
Reynaldo- your point was profound. But, I think the point of the escalator is that it escalates me, not itself. I'm not sure how to explain that one.
m. night shymalannoying

In reference to the douchebag post, all public restroom talk has to stop. i don't care if you're in there with your best friend you haven't seen since you were 10. the conversation stops. you can have short exchanges, but no long-winded discourses. and unless there is an immediate need, no talking to strangers in the bathroom. and CERTAINLY not while there's pissing going on. am i the only one who hates this? it's a place of business. do it and get out. don't get me started on cell phones in the public restroom.
What a douche
Sometimes its funny.
Actually this reminds me of something else. Your mind wanders in the bathroom. Especially when you are going number 2 and have to sit there for a while. Sometimes your mind wanders to something funny and then you laugh. At home this is ok, at work, this is not. I was writing a poem to myself earlier today and almost laughed out loud and had to cover my mouth because somebody was in the stall next to me. Sometimes I make myself laugh. The toilet is not a good place for this.
