I rub :eek:



How the hell do you know how anyone other than yourself wipes their ass? Is this something that you like to talk about?

Ever walk into a bathroom with someone on the throne? The rubbing is louder than you'd think :evil:

Really? does the bowl focus and reflect the sound waves back to your ear? maybe this was just a really hairy crack which made it so that you could hear the scraping and scratching?

So your goal is to smear the poo over your ass, as opposed to removing it?

How to hold a fork
This drives me CRAZY. Nothing screams Neanderthal Slob like someone who clamps a fist around an eating utensil and proceeds to dig at their food. My 33 year old brother in law does this. You should see him eat a bowl of cereal. It's horrifying. When I see coworkers do it, they automatically drop a notch in my book (not that it matters).

The fast lane is not there so you can have your own personal unobstructed view of the next 4 miles
Pretty much self-explanatory. Oh, and unless you have a badge and a radar gun, you're not a fscking cop and it's not your job to police the speed limit.

"Its" denotes possession, "It's" is the contraction for "it is".
Learn it. Live it. Love it.

A "mute point" is a point that no one said, let alone heard. A "moot point", however, is a different story...

It's funny how many people get in a twist over spelling but could give a sh!t about the elements of proper grammar such as punctuation, capitalization, etc.

No one is perfect, but at least make an effort!

The worst part of this is most flags come with instructions on how fly or hang the flag. Just to let the clueless know. The stars always (yes ALWAYS) go on the top left when flying or hanging a flag.

Knowing how to remove all the completely unnecessary text when quoting a forum post. I have already read the entire thread. I don?t need to be reminded of what everyone has said over and over again. Highlight the text and click delete.

I don't mean to insinuate, but how the hell would you know if someone is rubbing rather than wiping thier bum with one swipe. Secondly, why would you care?
