    Whenever someone initiates a text message convo but yet once you respond back to their text(s) it takes them like a damn hour. Why the **** did you start this conversation in the first place?

      Because **** happens. I've done it and had it done to me. I could send a message and 2 minutes later, somebody ask me to do something. It's texting, that's what it is supposed to be good for; to have a conversation when you can. Else, we would still actually talk on the phone.

        Agreed. Someone once tried telling me that texting is for an immediate response and he thinks it's inconsiderate when someone doesn't respond immediately.

        I told him that's why you call people.

          When someone veers into the left lane to make a right-hand turn.

          You don't need to be coming into my lane to make that turn. It's not that sharp of a turn. You're not a semi.

            I do concur that sometimes **** just happens. But I have this dude who'll do that **** on the regular, so this has become an annoying occurrence to me. However, if I don't respond back within a reasonable time frame, he'll just annoy the piss out of me until I reply back. I'd say that half to two-thirds of the text message conversations that I start happen because I bored at work.

              Most of mine just happen because I'm an opinionated SOB. I just feel like saying stuff a lot.

                When people think they're "alright to drive" because they "just live a couple of blocks away".

                Shut the **** up, get your drunk *** in the car and pick your car up tomorrow when you're sober.

                  Yeah - I don't get the relaxed attitude so many people have about driving buzzed or drunk. It's kind of scary; some people I've talked to almost act like you're a weirdo because you make sure not to drink anything, or drink very little because you're going to be driving... Some people even seem to almost make it a game to get you to drink more before you get in your car.

                  I remember someone telling me they drive better when they're drunk because they're a lot more careful...

                  I hope I never see them on the road - sober or otherwise.

                    Yeah I don't get it, my friend drove back to our place drunk and high at night. Nobody else thought it was a big deal, but it was an 8 mile drive and he was clearly stumbling around. I ripped into him and only one of my good friends backed me up on it, seems to be accepted too much in society especially in college.

                    I'll gladly sleep on someone's floor or couch instead of driving home, also a good excuse if you're drinking at a chick's place.

                      Going on the theme of drinking & driving. I love people who have had multiple DUI/DWIs but yet want to people to feel sorry for them because they lost their license. Hey ****tard, you're the who decided to drink & drive, on multiple occasions, so I have no ounce of feeling sorry for you.

                        Mieke Crane, the child's mother, insisted that officials at Old Mill Pond Elementary School in Palmer, Pa., overreacted when another student saw the toy, which is slightly bigger than a quarter, and alerted the driver.


                        This. THIS ****ing grinds my gears.

                          From the article:

                          Around the same time, a 7-year-old boy from Colorado was suspended from school after he lobbed an imaginary grenade on the playground while pretending to be a war hero.


                          Are you ****ting me? Suspended for an imaginary weapon? Imaginary?!?

                            Not the first time.

                            The parents of a Maryland first grader have hired a lawyer to fight their son's suspension for making a gun gesture with his finger and saying "pow."


                            Kid got suspended for pointing his finger and saying pow. He is 6.

                              Doesn't surprise me, elementary schools have 0 tolerance for anything that deals with weapons, war, etc.

                              I don't agree with it as I let my kids at aftercare back in the day play cops and robbers, but technically they weren't allowed to.

                                Imaginary? Jesus, kid. At least wad up a piece of paper and pretend that's a grenade instead.

                                Show some initiative for god's sakes!

                                I hope they suspended him for lack of creativity. I blame television.
