Things that irritate you.....

[Indigogirl]

People who image quote in order to prove a puerile point against someone with a valid argument that has been mooted time and time again.

People who image quote because they are too darn lazy to internet properly.

Narrow street:

<<<--------------------------------------
Car A | Car B | Car C | Cars Cars Cars
<<<--------------------------------------

Car A stops to let people out.
Driver of Car C gets impatient, hooting, climbs out approaches Car A to give ***.
Car A drives off.
Car C now blocks traffic while it's driver walks back and climbs in.

They probably blocked traffic for equal amounts of time.
Climb out your car to give someone *** for the very thing you're doing to someone else.

People who use meeting rooms past their end time (usually several minutes), need to be asked to leave and then don't apologize for going over their time.

Been noticing an annoying phrase creeping into peoples speech recently that goes 'as straight as a die', usually from sports commentators. "Wow, that kick was as straight as a die". WTF!? A die is the least straight object you can get!

I've never heard of it before.

Origin

as straight as a die This is an odd simile when one considers that the die here is the singular of dice - hardly objects that appear straight. It makes more sense when we realize that straight means correct and true, rather than 'as the crow flies'.

The phrase originated as 'as smooth as a die', no doubt referring to the smoothness of the bone that dice were made from. This dates back to at least the 16th century; for example, Jehan Palsgrave's Lesclarcissement de la langue françoyse, 1530:

"Make this borde as smothe as a dyce"

It migrated to 'as true as a die' in the 18th century, as found in John Gay's Songs & Ball., New Song on New Similies, 1732:

"You'll know me truer than a die."

By the 19th century it had become as we know it now - 'as straight as a die'. The first known record of that form comes from the USA, in The Janesville Gazette, April 1871:

"I'm a racing man and up to a thing or two: but am as straight as a die for honesty."

Standing in a shop and looking at a shelf to compare prices... and some other shopper comes and stands right in front of you...

I've had people roll into me a few times now. I prefer to leave more space between me and the person infront of me these days.
