A woman in the hospital waiting room had the Papa Roach CLASSIC Last Resort as her notification ringtone. I heard CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES about 4000 times.

I hate that song with the burning intensity of a thousand suns. I know there are things I mention disliking on here, but that song I truly despise. The "cut my life into pieces" part reminds me of a depressed Scooby Doo trying to do alt rock. If you don't believe me, try it. Sing it in a depressed scooby voice

There are times when having a sidearm is more of a hindrance than a help. This would be one of them.

Simplest solution: Annex Canada.

As long as we don't annex Quebec, I'm for it.

On the bus going away from the university, two young women complain about the nerdy guy in their class. Once such complaint: "He, like, says stuff when he talks."

And please, take Ontario and Quebec.


#13

We'll take Ontario.

And if you pay the US several trillion dollars, we'll think about maybe taking Quebec.

How about we annex the rest of Canada and leave Ontario and Quebec where they are?

You don't want Alberta, it would tilt the delicate balance of dem/rep power.

Hey, a lot of people don't say anything when they talk.

"Yeah, you haven't eaten any pineapples in a while. I can tell since your cum isn't sweet."
That reminds me of a story my bio teach used to tell back in high school. He was going over anatomy/sex ed and explained that the majority of semen involves sugars. Supposedly one girl blurted out "Well then why is it so sour?" before realizing her mistake and turning a bright shade of red.

Heard at the bus stop a few years ago:

"Yeah, athletes always train up in the mountains because it's so hot because it's closer to the sun"

Not during commute, but still kinda funny: my mom while we were watching Conan, with Justin Timberlake as guest (I know, we get the shows at a delay).

"Is this Justin Timberlake somebody famous?"

And, when he actually appeared on-screen:

"Oh, he's a man! I thought he was a woman!"

Mom, I love you, but you don't know jack shit about modern popular culture.

Two days I heard this gem on the street:

"My mom went to France while she was over in Europe. Some little town or something, I can't remember. I think it was called... Paris, or something like that?"

(To be fair, it was a younger teenager talking. Not an excuse, I suppose, but not as bad as if it were an adult.)

Oh, I've got a sad one.

An elementary classroom in Port Allen. A teacher fussing at a student. "STOP THAT! WHAT I SAY YOU TO DONE?!" A teacher.

Yep, "what did I tell you to do?" It was pretty bad. I'm pretty sure she was one of the special ed teachers, too. Good luck, children. *holds back tears*

Huh, actually yeah. I just said it out loud in a thick, Cajun accent and it oddly worked. It's still horrible grammar.

Yeah... sad. It's kinda how 90% of the people in that area talk, though. So as long as they never leave that 5 or so stinky miles just outsides of Baton Rouge, they'll be fine.

...Jesus. I really still have hard feelings about Baton Rouge and the surrounding area. Sorry about that. :-/ That was a startling amount of bitterness.

It's not a matter of WHETHER or not they're ignorant, but more that they SOUND like they're illiterate and just don't care about it.

And, sadly enough, I had someone explain it to me as "not wanting to sound like an Uncle Tom N-----," which just totally made my day, let me tell you. *facepalm*

I went to what equates to a community college. I should have started writing them down. But my favorite, from an office admin student:

Girl: "Y'know, like, I only found out, like, last week that 911 works here."
My buddy: "What?"
Girl: "911. Emergency."
Buddy: "...What?"
Girl: "I thought it was only, like, a thing in the States or something. I didn't know it worked in Canada too. Like, we're not calling the States are we?"
Buddy: ".........what?"
Me: *facepalm*

Wow. Her parents did a great job.
Incidentally, I pocket dialed 911 the other day while I was at the zoo. Not even joking. And when I told the lady it was a mistake and it must have been a pocket dial and I was very sorry for wasting their time, some children happened to run by screaming.

well to be fair...I didn't know 911 worked in Canada either. but then again I don't live there. Also in school primary school down under we have a big thing about movies always saying ring 911, and how we have to remember our own emergency number instead.


#47

I've always wondered WHY they haven't changed it to 911 everywhere... I mean, it's in movies everywhere. It's not going away and America certainly isn't going to change it, so why fight it?

Besides, most countries redirect calls to 911 to their actual emergency number.

because america isn't always right, and the world might not want to follow?
Trolling aside, It is an interesting question. I wonder why those numbers were chosen in the first place anyway....TO GOOGLE!!
