"I Could Care Less"
 

Does this phrase annoy anyone else?

Example
"I could care less about that bastard"

This makes NO sense. I hear people saying it on tv and shows all the time, and it annoys me.

If you could care less about someone then that means that you don't fully disregard them, that you could actually care less about them, another words you still don't fully dislike or hate them.

"I couldn't care less about that bastard" is the correct phrase.


:finger: to that phrase.

Word.

It was probably originally meant to be sarcastic. It's just become such an ingrained saying that people say it without meaning for it to sound sarcastic.

I, too, become annoyed by things like this.
I also become annoyed when people say things like:

- Acrosst (instead of "across")
- Minus well (instead of "might as well")
- Excetera (instead of "et cetera")

- General dialects that outright say a word completely wrong. In my area, people don't say "nine", they say "non". They don't say "ninety five", they say "nonny fov". I know they know. I grew up here too and I can hear it. They have to be doing it on purpose, specifically to annoy me.
- Typical misspellings and bad grammar that YOU KNOW gets corrected, or at least is widely available in the correct format that people STILL refuse to integrate into their communication skill-set. If you are a college person in 2012 and you're still unaware of the proper usage of your and you're, or its and it's, you're simply stupid on purpose, and should just apply for welfare right now. Don't even try to finish your degree and pretend you actually want to be educated and get a job that will actually be able to support you and your family.

Moving on...
I couldn't care less for the people that do the following:

- Park their grocery carts and themselves in the middle of the aisle and stand there oblivious to the fact that other people exist. This also extends to anyone blocking a single path of entrance or egress because their cell-phone rang and they seemingly can't walk and complete a social transaction simultaneously.
When I see these people, I imagine them to be saying in their head, "ME. ME. ME. ME. ME. ME. ME. F*CK YOU. ME. ME. ME. ME. ME. ME..."
I understand that you're a selfish piece of oblivious and uncaring sh*t, but you're not just inconveniencing me, you're inconveniencing humanity itself. I couldn't care less if I have to stop for a minute and stare at the back of your head with an expression that could actually kill small rodents. What pisses me off is the fact that there are people like you that exist in the first place.
Every time I see another one of you, I feel a little less hope for the future of our species because you are either incapable of considering others, or simply unwilling to.

- People that don't use their turn signals. They tie into the above, but they simultaneously break the law, which is literally the ONLY reason I would ever consider becoming a patrol cop. I would become a patrol cop SPECIFICALLY to ruin the day of every last motherf*cker that didn't properly use a turn signal. Also, people with burnt brake lights and those who don't turn their headlights on in the fog would have similarly sh*tty commuting experiences while I am on the clock.

- People that complain about traffic speed cameras. YOU ARE LITERALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEED AND RUN RED LIGHTS. KILL YOURSELF. I actually wish that there was a camera on every single intersection and stop sign in the entire United States. And I wish the penalty for running a light or stop sign was castration, or if you're a woman, you get your titties cut off. (pending proof that you weren't rushing to the hospital or being chased by a madman)
Driving on the streets is a privilege, not a right. Tighten it up.



I guess I should stop, but I have one final thing to add...

CO-WORKER... WHY DO YOU CLEAR YOUR THROAT EVERY 10 SECONDS WHILE WORKING SILENTLY FOR HOURS UPON END? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? GET IT OVER WITH AND HACK UP A LUNG. DRINK SOME WATER. DO F*CKING SOMETHING! ANTHING IS BETTER THAN SIMPLY GOING:

"ahem."


"ahem."


"ahem."


"ahem."


"ahem."



"ahem."




"ahem."





"ahem."

"ahem."



"ahem."



"ahem."



"ahem."



"ahem."


"ahem."



"ahem."



"ahem."





















"ahem."




"ahem."



"ahem."




"ahem."



"ahem."



"ahem."




"ahem."

I mean, I am tolerable of a lot of things, but when people say **** like that, I just flip inside.

I'm physically tolerant.
Mentally, not so much.

We have two threads devoted to bitching, ya know.

I hate it when I see people trying to be smart and they use "persay" or "per say"

like, really?

I could care less about this thread.

Thanks for helping contribute to a third! ;)
