      When people don't watch their own kids.

      At my gym you have to walk past the basketball court to get to the pool. When there's 8-10 full ground adults running around, one would think that as a parent you may want to, you know, make sure your two year old doesn't wander on the court. I know it's common courtesy, but it shouldn't be our job to have to watch out for your kid.

        P.J. is really just an acronym of sorts. I wouldn't say NBA is a nickname. It's an acronym.

        Melo and Pip like the case he was pointing out, just taking the first letter of names and calling it a nickname.
        I do not see where that definition excludes acronyms as a form of a nickname.

        Fits that definition quite well.

          A mother and a grandmother here got charged for child negligence when they weren't watching their 4 year old decided to grab grandma's car keys and go for a short ride before crashing the car into bushes on the side of the rode.

          The kid was quoted as saying "I just wanted breakfast."

              Our (sketchy) neighbor's Great Dane got loose today while nobody was home. Pretty much had a small bear running around the neighborhood.

                      Being the date.

                        I guess I've judged people for a lot worse than that.

                          It's not a huge gear grinder or anything, I was just reminded of it today. I've definitely judged people for worse as well.

                            Certain phrases you see only used on the internet.

                            "That is all.", "And it's not even close.", etc. There's probably other ones I'm forgetting.

                            I'm sure I've been guilty of using them in the past, but for whatever reason I get annoyed when I see them.

                                People who go to concerts and sporting events just to get drunk. Why can't you just stay home and do it?

                                I really don't want some blonde chick next to me bending over and shaking her *** at a Zac Brown Band concert. Or some ******* behind me shouting "I don't even know these songs" and then proceeding to bump into me 10 times while trying to dance.

                                I kind of expected this to happen when I got lawn tickets but still find it annoying, luckily they moved half way through
