Men don't cry -__-

This phrase has always been total bullshit.
Even the "manliest" of men weep at the ending to Terminator 2, for Christ's sake.

But in seriousness yeah, it's incredibly harmful.

Yep

Finishing a sentence with, "so,"  "then,"  "because"  or "and"  FFS!
There are a few more to list, but I think you get it, so ...

If you have more to add, then ... FUCKING SPILL IT!

"I have really enjoyed my fall this year, so ..."    SO, WHAT!?!

Stop it! This bad habit seems to making a powerful comeback these days, (fake thoughtful pause) and ...
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I hate calling a traffic circle a roundabout.  Idk why lol it just annoys the shit out of me.  The crazy part is I still use roundabout as an adjective, i.e., "in a roundabout way" but I guess my deal is when i say that I don't mean anything similar to "in a way reminiscent of a traffic circle"

I have entered this thread many times and I have never had to bend over backward to support any reason I might have for being tired of or tasked by common sayings. Usually what I complain about makes sense ... to me.

In a world where one must drive with other cars sharing a drive path, some here call those "roundabouts" something rather annoying.  I hear "right turn left" as another way to refer to these helpful (I believe) traffic movement devices.

To me, the most annoying thing about these "traffic circles" is having someone driving in front of you who does not understand how they are supposed to work. In theory, no one ever has to stop anymore to navigate these intersections.
But having a person stop and wait to see what the next car is going to do, from half a mile out is extremely disturbing and an easy, direct path to road rage from other drivers.

The other problem I have with these things is that often the city/county developers try to force one of them into a land area which is too small to design it correctly. All traffic from all directions should be forced to slow down due to the sharp curve you must negotiate to get through - you must all slow down some, but only rarely ever have to stop completely.

Oh, BTW, there's a great song from a '70s band called, Yes, which has a song called "Roundabout."
Amazing band, great song. It is not an idle song; there is constant movement ...
If you have a way to blast this song at concert levels and "shake the floor" with your system (I call it, "shaking the floor"), do so. You will not look away, unless you just hate prog-rock style music.

"You hurt her"

oh, really sweetie? I politely rejected her, so how exactly is it hurting her? Fuck off!  :finger:

"The direction I have from the business..."

FFS, mate, you've got two or three people above you. You can name them.
