I pissed and moaned about the son-of-a-bitch who decided that it was a good idea to put croutons on my gaddam salad. If I want toast, I'll come for breakfast.
Well, now it appears that the same son-of-a-bitch is on an all out mission to make absolutely certain that I can't get a salad without meat on it or in it. I want salad, vegetables and dressing, no toast, no meat. Even in the restaurants that don't specify that they "offer" meat on or in your salad, when you order your salad, they ask you, "Would you like chicken on that"? NO! "Would you like shrimp on that"? NO! I want salad. If I want meat, I'll have it on the next plate. There are even some restaurants where, if you happen to forget to specifically tell them that you don't want meat, you get it. Now, that's not bad enough that they put two large chunks of chicken on my salad, but they put HOT chicken on my COLD salad. At this point, I'm so confused that I don't know whether to put dressing on it or gravy.
Yes, I can see you in my rear-view mirror. Yes, I plan on moving to the right as soon as I pass this semi. No, I wasn't trying to insult your manhood when I switched into your lane, five car lengths in front of you, to begin the pass. Why did you feel the need to suddenly speed up? Yes, I thought that my cruise control speed of 15 miles over the speed limit was reasonable, considering that I am moving faster than everyone in the right lane. Then ... WHY on earth did you decide you wanted to switch into the right-hand lane immediately behind me!?! Can't you see all that open space in the left lane? The one that you seemed so damn possessive of just 5 seconds ago!?! Do you know how to use your cruise control? Don't you know that this is not NASCAR? No drafting allowed!
And ... don't EVEN get me started on the teenage girls that are texting and swerving while slowing down and speeding up at random!
They create a hell-hole for themselves with high taxes, crime through the roof, endless traffic jams because they are too busy paying for corrupt hacks to upgrade the infrastructure etc.
Then -- they come to where I live and make a nuisance of themselves with their hyper-aggressive driving, general rudeness and entitled attitudes.
Forget the fence they want with the border with Mexico -- put that fence on the MA/NH border.
People from MA can still visit -- ON FOOT.
And for goodness sake, I can't stand they way they flee Massachusetts to move here, and then immediately proceed to try to "reform" where I live to turn it into an extension of their home state.
Welcome to NH. Now GO HOME.
If I want to see MA people, I go visit them. Some are really nice. Really. "Some of my best friends are from MA."
1) your vs. you’re Did they stop teaching grammar in school? Why do so many people here get this wrong? "Your" is used to show possession like "my, his, her, our" as in "your pussy." "You’re" is a contraction of two words as shown by the apostrophe. It is a contraction of the two words "you" and "are." So when you say "you’re in trouble," it is the same as if you are saying "you are in trouble." "Your in trouble" doesn’t make any sense. If you can’t get this right, just use "you are."
2) hobbyist vs. hobbiest The word is Hobbyist. The "ist" is added to the end of a word (like hobby) to say someone who does or practices that action. So hobbyist is someone who hobbies or practices the hobby like an artist is someone who practices or performs art, a psychiatrist practices psychiatry, a typist is someone who types, a rallyist is someone who participates in automobile rallies, and those of you into politics may be familiar with a lobbyist or someone who lobbies for a special interest. There is no "lobbiest." "Est" is used as a descriptive comparison such as happy, happier, happiest. There is no hobbiest because hobby does not describe the quality of a person or object. You do not say I am hobby like I am happy and you do not say I am hobbier or hobbiest.
3) Same old debates I wonder if some people have certain topics on their calendar and just rehash the same debates every couple of months. I keep seeing some of the same topics argued about over and over – use of aliases, screening, is oral sex safe, legalizing prostitution, falling for/dating a provider, inflated review scores… Seriously, did you guys think people would change their opinions since the last time the topic was posted?
4) People who post when other sites are down What’s up with all the people who need to let everyone know that they are having trouble getting on the CV site? Is posting a message on TER going to make it come back up faster? Did you think the CV admin spends their time hanging out on the TER boards and were just waiting for you to tell them that their site is having problems?
Since I'm pretty sure that all of these items will continue to happen, they were listed for entertainment and educational purposes only. If you're offended by any of it, it's probably because you are guilty of doing it. Feel free to add your own TER pet peeves while there’s still time left on Amnesty Day…
