Incredibly specific pet peeves

People who, for some unknown reason, are now refusing to pronounce "nt" in words, contractions and proper nouns. It isn't difficult, it's a simple action of your tongue against the roof of your mouth. Unless you have some sort of speech impediment (and then you're' off the hook) you're just being lazy. I even heard a woman anchor on TV do this yesterday.

It isn't "di'int" it's "didn't"

It isn't "Cli'in", it's "Clinton"

Thanks, and stop.

I always answer 3. When I am called out, I say sorry, I thought they were asking how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
 
People who don't care if the photos they upload to google maps are geographically accurate. Dum da dum da dum, I'll put this picture from the beach on top of a fucking mountain because it's all Grenada.
 
when you pay the pizza guy 19 dollars and some guy on an internet forum says "you coulda given him an extra dollar".
 
Boomer dude wandering around aimlessly getting the the way. Most often found in suburban parking lots, but also found in stores, entertainment venues, and anywhere where swift and efficient movement is necessary. Would you like to get where you are going? TOO BAD. Rob is in his own little world...living the dream, half-remembering some Eagles tune, and wandering right into your path as he worries about how the blacks and the queers are gonna conspire with the millennials to steal his tax dollars with their smart phones.

Exactly. Similar to what I was saying.
