Charmin Ultra commercial where the cartoon baby bear has tissue stuck to his rump.

Seriously Charmin? Seriously?

THAT'S LITTERING, NOT ADVERTISING!!!

Chinese restaurant rubber banded one of their fliers around 2 chop sticks and threw it out in my driveway over night. I'm going to start attaching their flier to a bag of trash and leave it in front of their business with a note saying "Here's some of my trash. I think this is a fair trade since you left trash in my driveway."

I hate public speakers who (a) can't stay on message, and (b) change their deliver times because they can't stay on message.

That is all. }:(

I've been in classes like that. 8 hour class and the instructor gets so off topic that it takes 6 hours to cover 2 hours material so they cram the last 6 hours of material into the last 2 hours of the class.

Yup. You're pickin up what I'm layin' down, brother. Problem here is that the speaker is OUR speaker and we're having to adjust lunch, breaks, break out room, and personnel becuase he can't follow an outline. Freakin' prima donna...

People that interchange loose for lose. Drives me bonkers.

When people say, "Alls you have to do...."

How about when they say anyways? Argggggghhhhhhh...me good eye.

Isn't there a word people add "T" to the end of? I think I've harped on Chris for that one.

That's it! :lol:

What, you would rather hear or say goin' or you're peeve is people who don't say it that way? Just wondering.


Now for my newest pet peeve: People who don't let you know they aren't going to make it to the trip you're leading, especially when it's a REALLY BIG trip.

That's All.

I'm with you on that. One of the biggest things I hate about planning.

The "g" is silent.

I didn't know that. I thought it was going or nothing or something. Really? You're not supposed to pronouce that?

You've gotta remember that you are trip leader, not a babysitter. You've posted a meeting time and place and if people can't make it there or notify you otherwise, go on and have a good run.
