Every language has its regional dialects and variations, and many are much more dramatic than American English's variety of colloquial terms for carbonated sugar-water.

Yeah, the pretty lights in the sky are nice. Being inside and hearing BANG BANG BANGABANGABANGABANGABANG all loving night long for the next week I can do without. (Though the funnest is when I read the paper the next day and OH WAIT THOSE WEREN'T FIREWORKS AT ALL. Thankfully that doesn't happen that often.)

my only issue with fireworks is that my BF wants to set them off literally all the time and it's a problem. I have to keep crushing his hopes and dreams and remind him that not everyone enjoys fireworks at 10 pm on a week night. pet peeve: people who don't follow door etiquette. If the door is closed when you enter, close it after you. If the door was open when you came in, leave it open. It's really loving annoying. Especially if it's something like a bathroom door. Is it closed because it's occupied or because some numbnuts closed it after them when they left?

I'm in Iowa where fireworks were just legalized and people are setting them off non-stop even at like 2 PM when you can't see them. Explosions are always good though so that's cool.

I hate when people jump the line for the bathroom. I'm not talking about someone with a small child asking if they can go ahead, or an elderly person, though. Just straight up adults that walk past the 5+ person long line and right into the stall where someone just exited. gently caress you, other people have to pee, too.

When someone calls me at work and I ask for their phone number to bring up the account - it gives nothing - I ask if there is ANY other number it could be met with "no no no no no" after bringing up the account with other long drown out methods I advise them that we have X as the phone number on file and am always met wit "ya, that's my cell number". THEN WHEN I ASK FOR ANY OTHER NUMBER loving TELL ME THAT YOU ASSHAT

Oh man, I don't know if there's some women that think keeping money in their boobs is cute or hot or what, but I know how much those things sweat and I want no part of your cheesy cash.

We were allowed to refuse sweaty sock 'n boob money at the liquor store where I worked. It was the best. "No, I'm sorry, that's a biohazard."

It's probably an affectation that they saw in a sitcom once and didn't think through. Storing valuables in boobs was definitely something I saw a few times, even on Rosanne once when she was trying to keep some object or other away from Dan.

When people refuse to make a decision but also won't accept any decision anyone else makes. I was with my family this weekend and we decided to get pizza. I suggested the pizza place I normally buy from, but my sister said she didn't want to order from there. So I said "OK, you pick one then." and she started going on "why do I have to pick, why can't someone else do it?" Because someone else did pick and you vetoed it! Same thing any time we want to watch a movie. I'll make a few suggestions and she'll turn them all down, but then complain if I ask her to pick something.

A lot of the MUPs around here that cross at 4 way intersections don't just cross to the other side but are catty corner. So instead of just having to cross 1 busy road, you have to cross it and then wait for the chance to cross the other busy road before you can continue on the path. I was out on a couple hour bike ride today and had to do that on 6 occasions (admittedly 2 of them were the same as earlier ones just on the way back, but still). I don't know how common this is in other cities but it's just one of many ways you can tell the bike lanes / MUPs/ any non-car mode of travel was a distant afterthought around here that they just tried to do some half assed patch jobs on.

Storing valuables in boobs was definitely something I saw a few times, even on Rosanne once when she was trying to keep some object or other away from Dan. It's way more likely that they just didn't have anywhere else to put it, since a lot of women's clothing doesn't have pockets (or has decorative pocketoid detail with no actual pockets, which is a pet peeve in and of itself). Maybe some women do it to be cute or as an affectation, but I'm betting way more of them do it out of necessity.

People setting off fireworks at night on July 2nd. Its not the 4th yet assholes. Some of us have to work at 7am on the 3rd and don't appreciate loud constant bangs from outside until midnight. I get being lenient on the 4th itself, but these people are breaking noise laws and fireworks laws (the types they're setting off are illegal in this state). Now I'm going to be tired and cranky all day today.

To me, the worst part is people shooting off leftover fireworks for days afterwards. You shouldn't have leftover fireworks, you dolts. Fire them all off on the 4th and be done with it.

Where the hell do you firework-complainers live? I'm in west Texas, aka a national capital of trucks and hicks, and fireworks here get shot off on the fourth and almost only then. Hell, stray fireworks are more likely around the new year, if anything.

I didn't mind much Friday and Saturday, but on a Sunday night that poo poo is not acceptable.

In the UK (or at least where I live) we get fireworks being let off weeks before bonfire night and up to a week after. There's even the odd one that goes off during the day.

At work: Co-worker: "So, for the Smith project, I think we'll have to do this-and-that." Me: "Yes, I agree, let's do this-and-that." Co-worker: "Because you see, since this thing and that reason, therefore this-and-that." Me: "Of course, I agree." Co-worker: "Good, because the client said this, so therefore this thing and that reason, therefore this-and-that." Me: "Yes, alright, we're on the same page here, I agree with you." Co-worker: "Yes, because..." Why does he have to turn a five-minute conversation into a thirty-minute conversation every bloody time? We've already agreed on how to do this thing, let's loving get to it!

They're also very loving illegal in San Jose. It breaks my heart to hear about people losing their pets on July 2 because the poor guy got spooked and jumped the fence, but really, you KNOW people are idiots. I'd say up to four days before and after any 'MURICA holiday (Memorial Day, July 4, Veterans Day, Labor Day), you should know your idiot neighbors are gonna set off firecrackers. Keep Fluffy and Snookums under supervision during that time, would ya?

Either they have no self-confidence and need external validation on every single point individually, or they are proud of themselves and want you to know how great they are. Seen both; in my experience the latter is much more annoying.
