Something that just bugs me.

[GypsyR]

"Hold my beer".

No. It's just wrong. In the context it's usually used in it should be "Lemme slam this beer real quick and...".
"Hold it" nothing. Would you really even want it back from your buddy's hot sweaty hand after jumping the garden shed with your RV? And anyway he more than likely set it down somewhere and lost it. Accidently drank it. Spilled it. Handed it to someone else, etc. If he's your BEST buddy. probably put a dead spider or cat turd in it.

So I think we oughta stop with the beer holding. Slam that thing like a real American and go do stupid stuff. With a belch.

Yes, crap like this just pops into my head sometimes.

No no no! You got it wrong. The person who says "Hold my beer" knowingly put a dead spider or cat turd in it, and expects his buddy to drink it while he's doing something useful.

Never happened to me. I might say “here, hold this empty can/bottle” but there would be no beer left.

Have you seen this Ariana Grande person? All I know about her is that she sings stuff I don't listen to. That's fine. But every so often I see a picture of her in my news feed because of whatever social thing and it bugs me, Because....well. In every single picture of her I've seen it looks like she has a clothespin on her c...on her...ummm, extra special little lady parts. I mean even when she's smiling. Seriously, search up a picture of this person and tell me I'm wrong.

Who holds your beer while you think of these things?

 

[GypsyR]

A midget woman whose head is flat on top.

 

[Russstang]

I call her Areola Grande. Not a fan…

 

[GypsyR]

I don't really know what she sings, but Google a couple of pictures of her and tell me I'm wrong.

 

[Russstang]

She was on the Voice when Blake Shelton was still a coach. She’s a piece of work, that’s for sure.

Moved this peeve up a notch from just bugging me.
Daughter bought a new car and found on the way home the "lane departure warning" feature buzzed her seat the last mile home. We have very narrow country roads around here. As soon as she got home she called me saying "How do I turn this shit off?" (Literally) I don't blame her, annoying.

So today I'm driving a truck down our semi-rural five lane highway. Busy during rush hours, traffic pretty sparse other than that. So I'm cruising along in the slow lane and see a fella walking on the side of the road. His back to me, not so good. No sidewalks out here and where he was walking in the road to stay out of the knee-high grass/weeds. Can't blame him for that, with the morning dew it would have soaked him. Room for both of us but as a courtesy I figured I'd ease over to give him a little extra room. especially as he couldn't see me coming. Truck said "OH NO! Riding on the white lines! I am am steering us back into our lane. " SHIT! Had to fight the wheel over. Jesus. Terminator truck. Way to prioritize. A human life? Nah, who cares, gotta keep it between those lines no matter what. NOT impressed. Had I known it was going to do such a thing (not my truck) I would have just changed lanes.

I would totally turn that crap off too. I couldn't count how many times over the years I've had to dodge a tire tread, board, deer carcass, etc on the side of the road. After a super quick mirror check to make sure I had room to do so but I also normally drive with an eye already on who is on the road with me.
