When people say "I'll come up to your place" when they're actually going South. Wrong. North is up, South is down, East/West is over.

Downtown is down, regardless of compass direction.

Who decided north is up and south is down anyway? Maps could easily have been drawn the other way around. Seems so arbitrary.

You can buy maps with the poles swapped, making a political point that we automatically consider the stuff at the top (Europe, USA#1) more important.

They look ****ing weird.

I'm not clicking that. I know what it will say. Just because you're from a certain area doesn't give you a good reason to butcher the language. Accents are one thing (and I actually love different accents), but grammatically incorrect pronunciation just because you're from an area where it's used more often is another.

There are plenty of people from all regions who speak/write correctly. Be like those people, imo. It still makes me cringe to hear/read that. Maybe it shouldn't- which would make it perfect for this thread.

Just saw a chubby middle aged woman wearing gym clothes at Costco with sweatbands just below her knees.

Now I'm forced to contemplate exactly what sort of swampy hellscape lurks beneath her gym shorts. No one needs to be thinking about that, except her & her gyno/gastroenterologist/plumber.

Radio commercials with car horns or sirens.

Whoever thought that was a good idea should be castrated or womb gutted so they don't infect future generations with their stupidity.

I have a friend who never uses one exclamation mark, but at least 4 at a time for one sentence.

Like WTF really?

Now that if I thought about it and a hot chick used multiple !'s then I wouldn't mind at all.

The friend that I mentioned I'm pretty sure is a guy.
