I probably already posted unnecessary abbreviations, but seriously the problem is getting out of control. I heard someone abbreviate "curfew" the other day and just said "curf". When I heard that it made my soul vomit. My english professor wrote the statement "awk" on my essay (abbreviation for awkward). Some people argue that abbreviations like "Totes" (totally) "Perf" (perfect) and "adorbs" (adorable) are just easier to say and saves time. But in reality, saying the actual word takes pretty much the exact same time to use the abbreviated version. It also just makes you sound more educated by saying the full word. What these unnecessary abbreviations are, is just a silly act of laziness. 

 

So I encourage you, people of America in 2013, to break the chains the laziness! Reclaim your power as a Native english speaker! Reclaim your educated "swag".

This one's a bit weird, but...

 

When you're stuck walking behind someone in a hallway when they're walking slow, and the person walking behind you tells you that you're slow.

You know what really rustles jimmies. Sydney City's traffic system.

 

See, you walk around the city faster on a Friday night than you do driving around it. In a car, a green light means something like 4 cars making it out of the intersection. 4. Out of 20 lined up for the turn. Terrible.

 

Oh and those bastardous taxi drivers. They will cut wherever they think sane, even when it ain't. You know, this crap wouldn't happen if people actually decided to you know, walk a few. The whole of George Street should be accessible to taxis, buses and delivery trucks only. Now wouldn't that be a shiz.

 

But I'm a pedestrian, proudly using my powerful legs to own George Street since 1991.

With a little wave of the necronomicon, I bring this thread back.

 

It really rustles my jimmies when someone refers to their whole computer as their CPU. It's like a really bad synecdoche.
