People that just let their carts go at a store where they could run into parked cars and scratch paint.

Parents that let their kids run riot in stores, at amusement parks, etc.

When someone pulls out in front of me, causing me to hit the brakes, and then slows down to turn off the road even though there was no one behind me

Hollywood "stars" who think they are the experts on government issues, education, or rearing children

My neighbors
  who can't clean up their own yard
  who won't mow their own grass
  who throw their junk food trash
  who will not go out to get jobs
  who stick their older relatives in the basement with black mold

  yet they still have the biggest, baddest, big-screen, HDTV television available, complete with the most advanced video games on the market.

Let's get something straight: it isn't a snowpocalypse, and it's not a snownado. It's not a snowsaster, a snood (snow flood), or a snowphoon (snow typhoon). It's not even a blizzacane, snowtastrophe, or snowruption! It's just a lot of snow. There's really no need to make up cute, new words.

Nor is it snowtiful, snowriffic, snowcredible, or snowmazing!  Now, stop with the mutant words already; English is confusing enough already.

Nice one about ya'r neighbors History Buff.

I know someone who is on the phone more than our phone rings at work, & they have no job or life....

Gas pumps that slow down with $2.00 left to go.

Agreed about the gas pumps.

I long for the days in the late 1980's when gas was around .99 cents a gallon. I don't even want to confess here what it cost to fill my pick up truck earlier this week! :P

I guess you wouldn't like the word "teacheriffic."  We used that one to describe outfits or office supplies that would work at school.  Don't worry; we didn't use it in front of the students.

"What a teacheriffic outfit you have on today."

I don't usually watch Letterman, but after I posted that, Letterman used many of them in a bit on his show.  He must monitor SDCFans.  Hey, Dave!

He also mentions that this spring we are forecasted to have something like a "Mild-and-Slightly-Cloudy-pocolypse".

All right!  Are you really laughing out loud when you type, "LOL"?
Are you really rolling on the floor laughing when you type "ROFL"?
