Festivus - Time for Syracusefan's Annual Airing of Grievances

[AirForceOrange]

All the breaks and timeouts during a football game.

 

[FrancoPizza]

People that start off sentences by saying "To be honest with you, ..."

So you're finally telling the truth as opposed to before?

And women that preface every expression with "he's like... bla bla bla and she was like... bla bla bla." That might have been acceptable when you're 12, not when you're 30.

To be honest with you, that third sentence is sexist...

 

[FrancoPizza]

To be honest with you, that third sentence is s e xist...

Ha ha, but c'mon I never hear a bloke talking like that. I thought men were above that grammatical station.

 

[FrancoPizza]

The castration scene in Game of Thrones.

Eh, they didn't really show anything... it was all implied.

 

[FrancoPizza]

The sound of a dentist drill.

They're still using drills? Might be time for you to shop around. Amazing technology these days.

 

[Spock344]

 

[FrancoPizza]

Or "You know". If I knew, you wouldn't have to say it.

Or even better... "you know what I mean?" Talk about a waste of the English language...


you know what I mean?

 

[FrancoPizza]

Mother-in-laws that you would love to tell go pound salt... but can't... because your wife still believes there's a relationship worth saving.

 

[JohnCuse44]

People who don't use their turn signal.

The truth is <<bozo opinion goes here>>.

 

[Dave85]

How about the red wedding scene?

 

[AirForceOrange]

Doing 2-3x the work of the people who make almost double my salary...

 

[AirForceOrange]

Since mosquitoes have already been covered...fire ants.

 

[Dave85]

Mother-in-laws that you would love to tell go pound salt... but can't... because your wife still believes there's a relationship worth saving.

True story. When I first met my mother-in-law we sat down at her house to eat dinner. She serves soup. I reach over, pick up the pepper, and sprinkle a little on top of the soup before I take my first spoonful. My mother-in-law says, "Oh, you are one of those." What the hell does that mean! I didn't feel too bad because mother-in-law and her sister had rock'em sock'em knock-down argument over whether or not is was proper to put powered sugar in homemade whip cream during the desert phase. Oy vey!

 

[Dave85]

Doing 2-3x the work of the people who make almost double my salary...

You have to be careful with this one. Sometimes the people who are making 2-3x more have really good social skills and you have to learn how to be a good listener to realize it. In my job, I'm amazed how the people 2 or 3 levels above mine are capable of navigating the treacherous political waters.

I think she meant...you are one of those who add to dishes without trying them first...

Finding a cat whisker in my General Tao's chicken.

Yeah, that's what she meant. The problem is for 20 years now every time I pickup a pepper shaker I hear her words. I'm cursed!

 

[Dave85]

People with the smallest amount of power who wield it like they are God on Earth.

It is legal to die for your country at 18 but if you have a beer you are breaking the law.

Alcohol causes about 1000x more problems than weed (the one I don't do is still illegal).

Health care, why are we the only developed country in the world that can't figure this out?

America's infatuation for punishment - our prisons are full, solution? build more.

Finding a cat whisker in my General Tao's chicken.

Finding a large piece of metal in my Sbarro pizza and getting attitude when I ask for a new slice.

Why are you eating that garbage "pizza"?

 

[realorange]

Finding a cat whisker in my General Tao's chicken.

At least you don't have any doubt about the entrée.

 

[Toga]

Why are you eating that garbage "pizza"?

Because Ray's is 2 1/2 hours away.
