mepal, you asked for entertainment- here it is:
I HATE:
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is, thank you!
2. When people say “it’s always the last place you look”. Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you’ve found it? Do people do this?
3. When people say while watching a film “did you see that?”. No, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the floor.
4. People who ask “Can I ask you a question?”…. Didn’t really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
5. When something is ‘new and improved!’ Which is it? If it’s new, then there has never been anything before it. If it’s an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn’t be new. (note from FunnyBunny: I put this one because it fit, but we do have the concept of “Ein Chadash Tachas HaShemesh.”)
6. When people say “life is short”. What?? Life is the longest thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that’s longer?
7. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks “Has the bus come yet?”. If the bus came would I be standing here?
