A hate near and dear to my heart, exacerbated by the fact that it seems to be a regional usage in these here parts:

Deliberately and willfully dropping the most important verb of the English language- the verb 'to be', the verb of existence- from a sentence.

Feast your eyes on this little gem of Hanoverese:

'The car needs washed.'

And how about this equally repugnant phrase?

'The milk is all.' All what?

People who "change" the names of businesses to something "clever" to emphasize their point about why they hate them. It's not clever, it's not funny, it doesn't do anything to help your cause, don't do it. You're ****ing irritating beyond belief and it makes me want to go to the place you're talking about and give them money just to spite you.

If it takes a village to raise a child, I'm the stereotypical crotchety old bastard who lives on the outskirts taking rock-salt potshots at rotten little bastards who cut through my yard and trample my hops vines.

I used to be solidly in this camp, until I had a kid. Then I eased off it a little. Surely, there is such a thing as inexcusable behavior which is the obvious result of lack of parental oversight, and that I still can't abide. I hold other kids up to my own kid's standards. I think that's fair.

But I've found lately there are lots of youngish people who really like to eye-f$#k me when I'm in public, and the sprog decides to throw a hissy. I think that's the most common thing that gets me stares. Screaming. There's no possible way to keep a kid from screaming when he decides to lose his mind.

I've actually had someone sigh and roll their eyes at me one day at a restaurant (family style place... we don't take him to white linen restaurants). I was in a mood largely because of the kid, and decided I didn't really want to put up with this guy. So I literally tapped his shoulder and asked if I could help him with his eye problems. After he finally got my meaning, he snarled up and said that I should "control my kid". I asked him if he thought it was truly possible to ever "control a kid". And then the gem of a response: "Well, you shouldn't bring a kid to a restaurant if he's going to scream."

My wife kept me from inviting him outside. Good thing, too... he was kind of big. But I tend to fight the fights that are worth losing.

I didn't even argue back with him. I just finished dinner. Irony of ironies, as they left the restaurant, the wife/girlfriend stopped and told us how cute he was. I think she was sticking it to him for being an ass.

So, to bring it back to topic...

I hate that guy.
