Another thing I cant stand is when I'm driving in the city and these A-holes are like in the middle of the lane on their bikes. Now I know some places have laws that prohibit bikes on sidewalks, but c'mon people at laest dont block traffic.

Ugh, I know! How 'bout people that use "drug" instead of "dragged", like "I drug the bag behind me". Makes me want to spit.

Speaking of idea, i love it when people say idear. I know some people just have an accent where it comes out that way so its not that big of a deal to me, but its still funny to hear.

OMG, I KNOW!!!!

Here's one that kills me that journalists use ALL THE TIME, is "pled" instead of "plead" or "pleaded". If a baker has already prepared the dough, its been "kneaded" it hasn't been "kned". Jesus Christ!

I had an art teacher once who when talking about watercolours and applying a "wash of colour", he'd say "warsh" instead. It was kind of annoying yet cute at the same time.

As long as I'm on the subject of eccents, my absolute favorite is the NEw England accent. I just love the way those people talk.

And, of course, they are so braindead they don't even stop to notice that someone is trying to walk down the aisle. So, they just sit there. Duh. And finally I have to say something mousy and nice like, "Excuse me." Sometimes they notice and sometimes they don't.

My temperament on Saturday was not so hot. So, instead of the mousy "Excuse me", it was the honest "Get out of the way!! JEEZUS!!!!", following by lots of cussing after I made my way through.

I feel your knitting needle comment, Marky- I really do. I can especially see Patsy saying it.

I am the same way. At times, I can be perfectly content coming home from work Friday evening, and not leaving the house again until I have to return to work on Monday morning. Sometimes I avoid phone calls too when I get in that mode. It's just my way of regrouping.

I also share the same grocery store peeve. The aisle blockers - Grrrr!

As for Ab Fab- Morocco - definitely one of the best (GORgeous tiles!). I also like the fashion show one - "Music and lights and fashion and lights and music..." Eddie: "Are we keeping these two, Pats?"
