Annoyances

"Annoyances"

1. When something is "new and improved," which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it.

2. When people say, "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too." What good is a stupid cake you can't eat? What, should I eat someone else's cake instead?

3. When people say, "It's always in the last place you look." Of course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they?

4. When people say, while watching a movie, "Did you see that?" No, I paid $12.00 to come to the theatre and stare at that thing over there. What did you come here for?

5. People who ask, "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

Here's one of mine -- When news reporters say, "John Doe was sentenced to die today." No, he wasn't. Maybe "Today, John Doe was sentenced to die." But, not to die today.

mine is this: " Can I....," I don't know can you?

Having worked in a retail store, when the store was now opened for the day and no one else was in the store, people would walk in and ask... Are you open?

Ummm hello, no we are not open, we just keep the doors wide open when we are closed.

A co-worker (a male no doubt) of mine thought his son was choking. His wife told him to dial 911 and he said "What's the number?" I am not lying, he REALLY said that. lol.
