That's just not my type of crowd.

ETA: No disrespect to folks on here who do drink, get drunk/high. If that's your thing...cool, roll with it.

I partied when I was younger, but I just feel like routinely getting wasted is the domain of freshmen...so being around people my own age who think they're 18 irritates me. It was cool 5 years ago. 5. That should tell you something. To me, being 23/24+ and acting 18 is kind of sad.

Also because I'm not out getting drunk, drunk people irritate me. That's how it goes for pretty much everyone who is sober and surrounded by drunk people I suppose.

For me, it's "black or white". In other words, it either is or it isn't. I don't think age has anything to do with it. To me, drunk is drunk. When I was in undergrad, I partied too, but what does a party have to do with getting drunk and acting like a fool?

I agree with you to an extent, and I'm certainly not saying your thoughts are wrong, because they're not. But for me, I feel that "routinely getting wasted" is the domain of an idiot, regardless of age (to me). As far as it being cool "5 years ago" or however many years ago is concerned, that really doesn't tell me anything, because it never has been cool, to me, and it still isn't. I don't care how old the person is. I wouldn't say they irritate me because I don't and won't go around them. I can't be irritated by a fool if I'm not around one. Again, I agree with you, I just don't think it has anything to do with age. A drunk is a drunk, and a fool is a fool, to me.

I dont know if its been said already or not, but I hate it when people misprounounce words, like "supposably." NOT A WORD!

[Jobellesis]

It makes me grit my teeth when the reflexive pronoun, myself, is used in the subject of a sentence or as an object.

I also hate it when people say and write might of. It's might've, a contraction for might have. I admit that if you're just writing and not thinking about spelling and grammar, it's easy to write the word, of, instead of the contraction.


This one is not a grammar gripe. This is definately a stupid thing people say without thinking because they feel so uncomfortable and have no idea what they should say thing. I hate it when people say (and I heard this a lot when my husband died) God never gives you more than you can handle. I won't go into all the reasons this did not make me feel better.

Honestly I don't think it makes anyone feel better but the person who says it. If that.

So sorry for the lost of your husband.

And "God has a reason for doing everything". I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you both very much.

With you on all of these.

And I, too, am so sorry for your loss.

Warsh.

There is no r, so why are you using one?

Take the r out of warsh and put it back in liberry where it belongs.



I think texted is an awkward word - "He texted me last night." I don't know what else the past tense of text would be, but it bothers me.

I also dislike journal being used as a verb.

Sent a text?

[meangreen317]

"At the end of the day..." do you really know what's going to happen at the end of the day?

That's a lot better than texted.

I'd be really impressed if they put it back in February.
