Of course "it rarely works" is a fragment.

How is it not?

"Semi-colon usage rarely works" = not a fragment
"It [semi-colon usage] rarely works" = fragment

Actually his entire sentence, beginning with "Usually", is a fragment. lol

Yeah that's why I posted it, I mean it really shouldn't bother me at all, but it does so much. I mean, the more well known the line or quote, the more tilting it is. I mean, how can you not know it, and if you aren't 100% sure of it, why the hell are you trying to quote it, plus it just totally ruins it no matter how awesome it would be if it were quoted correctly.

It just irks me way more than it should, almost makes me wanna go on a Scarface style "I want you to meet my little friend!" rampage

It's worse when more people say the butchered line than the real one. "So you're saying there's a chance!"

When it rains at a certain intensity that is heavy enough that you get wet, but at the same time too light to justify taking out an umbrella.

Pretty disappointed when I order pizza or wings for delivery and order a side of ranch or blue cheese then they put the dressing in the same container as steaming hot food. The dressing gets all sour and nasty. Disappointed at first but then figure the delivery guy is just trying to save me calories as I end up tossing the dressing in the garbage.

The 'How are you' in 'Hello, how are you?' pisses me off. Nobody really cares how I am but it's so standard. Anybody mention that one yet? If so, I don't care.

It's the ex-New Yorker in me. Back there they don't care if you die as long as you die on the sidewalk and not in their store.

btw, I once read an article about Japanese businessmen about to be assigned to work in the U.S. They were instructed that when someone asks 'How are you?' they don't really want to know bec in Japan, if asked that question, they would answer truthfully i.e. 'My liver has been giving me trouble.' lol

Random ad sponsor shoutouts in sporting events on TV, NHL,NFL, UFC etc attached to something stupid like a video replay of a goal.

Its gotten to the point where its not just the Geico Replay Cam and they show the footage, its the stupid phase that accompanies the ad. They say the ad slogan then talk about play its like ffffffffaw awrawrthre fefsdfsefsefseseff tilts me so f hard

I'd argue that being pissed off by this would justify taking out the umbrella.
