In short, my U.S.-centric memory trick is to remember that inside the U.S., periods and commas go inside quotation marks.

Kelsey Grammer pisses me off.


Terrible wooden actor who inexplicably became a multimllionaire with a #1 TV show. Girl's first name. Last name a misspelling of something else that pisses me off.

You know what pisses me off? Perfectly fine masculine names like Kelsey being ripped off by females until they can't be used anymore by their rightful owners, men. Leslie is another example.

Bob Hope was really named Leslie.

John Wayne was really named Marion.



Both felt the need to pick more masculine names long before whatever crisis we currently have.

Uber annoying that punctuation that wasn't in the quotation goes in the quote marks.

Did you just say "Go **** yourself?" is soooo much worse than "Did you just say "Go **** yourself"? IT WASN'T A QUESTION.

If you buy an item for 1 cent there is 1 cent of tax. So if you do that 100 times you have spent $2.

But if you buy one hundred one cent items in a single transaction you only pay $1.06.

So what do you want the store to put on the price tag?

Me too! 1 jolly rancher was 5 cents, 2 was 11 cents after tax. If i had a quarter i would totally make the cashier ring up 5 cents 5 times.

"No problem" seems situational I will cop to that. My OP was referring to certain waiter bro I once had at Tavolino:

5-6 times during the course of an hour plus meal. Water, plates, bread etc.
"Thank you"
"No problem"

"Thank you"
"No problem"

"Thank you"
"No problem"

"Thank you"
"No problem"

"Thank you"
"No problem"

I'm sorry but that is a problem up there with "Do you need change?"


Conversely, as someone has already mentioned, there is a time and a place for 'no problem' or 'no problem at all'. If you make a special request of a server and they deliver, when you say 'thank you' a 'no problem' is accurate and acceptable.

This happened today to get me thinking about it again:

Getting salami at Whole Foods today and I asked for 'pretty thin please'. The girl delivers with a great cut and I says 'thanks that's great I appreciate it" and she says 'no problem at all'. Feels good man.

Then I get cheese with no special request and as she hands it to me I say 'thanks' and she says 'no problem'.

Spoiler:



Minor, AND I REALLY SHOULDN"T BE PISSED EL D, but I'm ok with finding that mildly grating.

I think we all agree that grammar can eat it.

How can it possibly take more than 20 seconds to decide, or at least acknowledge that you're thinking about it and need some time?

Not necessarily directed at tuma, just in general... My friends that do this instantly become less of a friend and I wouldn't even allow them to babysit my theoretical kids.
because 'go ahead when you're ready' isn't 'hello, are you ready to order?'

Lol, yeah I don't think I'd like you IRL. Seems like a perfect spot for an "Ok, thanks" to me. Dead silence for 20 seconds in that situation is hilarious.

I suppose both our qualms fit the bill of this thread.

If you think about why you use diesel instead of gasoline you'll see why it isn't as much as a hazard.

Diesel will just cook off when you lite it, and Regular gas will combust when you lite it.

That's kind of what I meant. Diesel probably won't explode in your face, but throw a match on it and it's burning.
