I’ll never forget this… once I was trying to pass a man and woman with their cart at the end of a very long aisle. They were in the very middle. I couldn’t go around on either side of them. I said, “Excuse me.” No one budged. I thought perhaps they didn’t hear me. I said it again a little louder. The man looked at me and went to move the cart, but the woman grabbed it and said to him, “When I’m done.” That’s when I became “done.” I walked over to their cart, shoving it aside and pointing to the man with her, I said, “He may have to wait until you’re ‘done,’ but I don’t! I’m ‘done’ being polite. Move it!” She stared at me dumbfounded, while he told her, “You deserved that.” She looked at him and said, “Shut up.” And I continued shopping.

I had my debit card declined at a gas station on a pay day, when my check was auto-deposited. Bank of America was right next door, so I popped inside. The teller very loudly berated me, saying my account had a hold put on it because I’d been “depositing” checks I’d written… immediately taking cash out of my account, knowing the checks were no good. The bank was giving me the cash, assuming the checks would clear. And I’d amassed more than $4000 this way. And the bank was going to press charges. By then, every customer in the lobby was staring at me, like I was scum of the Earth. Thoroughly embarrassed, I told the clerk to check again. Check MY account again. To look for those supposed deposit/withdrawals. Her face said it all. And in a low voice, that no one else could hear, she said, “I’m sorry. There’s obviously a mistake.” Loudly, I repeated, “YOU SAY YOU’RE MISTAKEN? IT’S NOT ME DOING THESE THINGS?” I withdrew all my money. Closed my account. And will not do business with them.

"Begs the question" does not mean "raises the question" or "brings up the question," even though it's recently been used that way often.

It's a specific term for a logical fallacy (basically, circular reasoning) -- because rather than arguing the question, you are begging that it be conceded. "You're begging the question," means you're using the point you're trying to prove as an argument to prove that very same point.

Edit: Folks, I get it. "Raises the question," is now a common usage, language is determined by use, it's not prescriptive, etc etc. Please, let me refer to you to the title of this thread and ask you why you didn't *expect* shallow pedantry.

There ARE 5 reasons to buy a product, vote for a person, etc. Not there IS 5 reasons or whatever. I hear it in national commercials, in speeches by so-called educated people, even in an ad by the local cable company.

I really want to add ignoring a queue. So many times people have seen a queue and walked straight passed them to the door/counter. 9/10 times they are served. I have been in several arguments contesting this.

It's okay to say something like "uuum" to fill a pause in your speech, but some people make this sound so long and loud, it's actually really annoying, especially if hey do it a lot. No need to moan like your teeth are being pulled before every sentence, keep it down.

Anxious v. eager. If you are looking forward to something with excitement, you are eager. "I am eager to go to Disneyworld tomorrow." If you are looking forward to something with dread, you are anxious. "I am anxious to take the written exam tomorrow." 90% of the time I see "anxious" used when it should be "eager" and this is the hill I will die on until my corpse rots and makes it a slightly bigger hill.

It's not a car 'accident' there's 99.9% chance one party is to blame. It is a crash or incident. Don't walk or run in the bike lane when there's a sidewalk. Don't hold the door for someone who is 30 feet away. Don't leave your dog outside all day. Don't hold your phone in front of you on speaker phone, that doesn't make it "hands free". Don't block any part of the sidewalk with your car. Don't leave the tap running. Put a bucket in the shower while it is getting to the desired temperature. Am average shower running for 3 minutes is almost 5 gallons of water.

One big one missing: When you have to give a phone number, bank, credit card etc. over the phone the reciver should repeat the numbers back. Same with complicated spelling

I have to disagree on the numbers except phone number. If you're calling a bank, you will be asked securoty questions to ensure it's you. If there's a mix-up with numbers, the representative will let you know. That person that you're speaking to is likely highly proficient with 10 key

Down votes are for comments not fitting the topic. Not because you don't agree with other peoples' opinions. And remember that opinions are like bumholes: everyone has one.
