My turn to play. =)

I COULD CARE LESS: By all means, go right on ahead. Don't let me stop you.

SOMETHING "FELL THROUGH": In my opinion it would make much more sense for it not to fall through. If something didn't work out, it seems to me that something else would be blocking the hypothetical falling.

ANYONE PLURALIZING STORES WITH SINGULAR NAMES: There is no 's on Meijer, Kroger, Barnes & Noble or KMart. Quit pretending there is because you sound like an idiot.

ANYONE QUOTING OVERQUOTED MOVIES: Yes, we've all seen Monty Python, Office Space, etc., but try working your right brain some time and make me laugh by actually making up a joke or funny quote of your own. (This could be a thread it itself.)

ANYONE USING WORDS THAT AREN'T REALLY WORDS: Can't think of any examples other than "irregardless" right now. Need to get back to studying for midterms.

I agree with all of your contributions, but those two are particularly irksome. Good catch!

I hate when the airport lady says "We are now preboarding the airplane." - What is that? Get in the plane before you get in!?

That's another thing, the lady says "Get on the plane, cmon, get on." - I say F you! I'm getting IN the plane. I'll let Evil Knievel get ON the plane.

"The captain has recommended we put our seatbelts on for the landing" - Who made this guy a captain? He's the F'n pilot.

Just because you payed twice as much for your ticket as I did doesn't mean you get to make up a new word. -b0b (...snickers.)

How about these gems...

WHAT WAS YOUR NAME AGAIN? It's Marie, and it still is. I haven't changed it in the last 30 seconds.

WE'LL SEE YOU LATER! Who is this "we" you keep referring to? I only see one of you.

WHAT ARE YOU? I'm a human being.
NO, I MEAN WHAT'S YOUR NATIONALITY? I'm American.
NO YOU'RE NOT. WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?. Nationality refers to the country in which you were born. I think you're referring to ethnicity. Moron.
