...I missed "drive" the first time, too. <br /><br />If lists aren't alphabetical, I start physically twitching. The worst part is when vocabulary words aren't in order, so I have to flip all through the index of the textbook to find them. Math teachers are the worst about this, for some reason.<br /><br />I'd rather have misordered lists that the omission of the Oxford comma, though. The Oxford comma is what separates the strippers, Rush Limbaugh, and Jeff Foxworthy from the strippers, Rush Limbaugh and Jeff Foxworthy.emilypersonhttp://from1angle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-4013886984970082972012-03-21T13:21:18.604-05:002012-03-21T13:21:18.604-05:00D'Ma - ooh, that reminds me of another one of ...D'Ma - ooh, that reminds me of another one of mine: People Who Cannot Alphabetize.<br /><br />I mean, c'mon, it's not like it's that complicated a system.

The drive, not so big a worry. <br /><br />So I'm at my parents' house a week or two back. And the phone rings. So I pick it up, and say, "Mock residence, this is Michael, can I help you?" <br /><br />And the person on the other end immediately says, "John?" (My Dad's name.)<br /><br />So I repeat myself: "This is Michael, can I help you?"<br /><br />Other person: "John?"<br /><br />By an effort of will, I manage not to just hang up on them.Michael Mockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06233321050691782148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4446682073857250843.post-69278674129773981552012-03-21T13:15:48.665-05:002012-03-21T13:15:48.665-05:00Pet peeve....that hamburger commercials that make ...Pet peeve....that hamburger commercials that make it seem as if when you eat the burger you will actually be as hawt as the chick in the backseat on the tv with the burger. :???:<br /><br />Pet peeve...not putting things that have numbers, like say paperwork(invoices and such), in numerical order.<br /><br />Grrrrr.....lol<br /><br />@Amanda, <br />I'm glad I'm not the only one that didn't see "drive" and thought he'd lost his thumb.

And along those lines, people, freaking <i>identify</i> yourself when you call. Even if you have Caller ID, it may just give the name of your business and frankly not all of us -- raising my had here -- have a good memory for voices. Makes me CRAZY!<br /><br />Whew. Thanks :) And for the record, I'm glad I finally saw the word "drive" in your post, because I thought you were being awfully calm for having lost your thumb...Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.com
