Agreed.
Then there's radio in general, because most of the stations play the same songs over and over again. So do music video shows.:bang:

Obviously bro but they think Trinitarians believe in three.
Actors who Elastagirl (e.g. three-point-landing) pose in movies
Female broadcasters on the field during NFL games
People who face toward the back of the elevator
Actors who hold guns sideway in movies
Librarians
Balloon people
Fire-bomb-slow-walking man-in-movie scenes
Media members who travel to Europe and them come home and speak like them
Companies that sell the naming rights to stars that are already named (Ps 147:4)
Tiny women in movies who throw large men around like ragdolls
Backward talking Yoda sentence formers
People who steal my inventions

Two more:
1) Water bottles; at home, at work, at friends homes, etc, I constantly find half empty ones laying around. Drink it and toss it or just use a water fountain or sink. I find them in cars, buses, in the street, etc... Wasteful and entirely environmentally unsound with all the recycling needed. Just give me my tap water with all its chorine, zinc, copper, etc...
2) Phone messages where the caller gives you a lengthy paragraph of info in about 10 seconds and then sez: "Andyoucanrechmeat fo-fir-nin-a-siss-tee-fan, that's fo-fir-nin-a-siss-tee-fan." Well, we're obviously never going to talk you numeric moron...

I agree but I got my first traffic ticket in over 25 years a few months
ago. Pulled out of a parking lot and got over into the left hand turn lane. A sharp turn and, I guess, when I straightened up the wheel, the turn signal went off. Made my turn from the left turn only lane and a cop pulled me over up the road and wrote me up for not having a left hand signal on while turning from a left turn only lane. I tried to explain what had happened but, with some of these machos, its like talking to a brick wall. $150! Jerk! I smelled pork the rest of the day...
I think the car manufacturers have stopped putting them on their cars.

Ok how 'bout this one.
Someone please tell me why people say "whole nother" as in "That's a whole nother story."
Maybe I'm missing something thing and there is a reasonable explanation for this but for the life of me I've always wondered why people insist on saying this rather than "whole other."

Just a nother (=P) form of mispronunciation. People have been saying it so much that they probably think it's an actual word.
There's really no problem though, as all words had to be made up, as well as the rules of the language. Technically, when writing a city and state, a comma goes both after the city AND state, but most people now never put one after the state. Language is fluid.
Still though, I know it can be annoying, such as "sherbert, "heighth," and "Warshington."
Some people do it on purpose.
MacGyver-
The Warshington thing is an accent issue. I used to do it myself. Anytime I said "wash." After I stopped doing it I only ever heard anyone do it again at an Amish village in Northern IN. And it was very noticeable to me, since I had corrected it in myself.
:doh:You're right of course. It's my bias and I admit it.

When you get home from the grocery store and that one item you really, really needed isn't in any of the bags because the guy that bags your stuff didn't see it and sack it for you. Then you have to go allll the way back to the stupid store just to get that one little thing.. :madmad:
When you are in the far right lane about ready to exit and some yo-yo behind you decides to zoom around you and cuts you off with only inches to spare between him and your front bumper just so he can exit first. So you get one whole car length ahead.... whoopie...
Scares the you-know- what out of ya to boot! :shocked:

And besides, attractive women who are librarians are even more attractive because they are librarians. Of course, if they're liberal they lose all attractiveness.
People that try and hide whom they really are.
