The Great Semantics Debate
Posted on February 1, 2010 no commentOkay, I think I’ve talked about this before, but it recently came up in conversation again, so I’m curious….
Picture this scenario:
You’re out of food and you need to get more. You say “I’m going to the _______.”
A) Store
B) Grocery
C) Grocery Store
D) Bar
I vote “B” but others will disagree with me, saying that “the store” is more appropriate. I have a fully developed argument for my position, but am curious as to what you guys think.

Pet Peeve #28748
Posted on January 26, 2010 no commentOkay, I’ve got to share another huge pet peeve of mine…… People in the bank drive through lane that aren’t prepared.
Look. It’s a DRIVE THROUGH LANE. It’s supposed to be quick and efficient. So when you drive through, have your deposit slips filled out and checks endorsed so that you can just drop it in the tube and be done. Don’t ask questions, don’t argue. If there’s a problem, or you need a form or something of that nature, GO INSIDE!!!! And for the love of everything good, and pure, and holy. PULL UP to count your cash.
Sorry, just had to vent. The bank run took 30 minutes yesterday.
