Has anyone seen the terrific old movie "Princess Bride"? There's a lispy and quite cocky character called Vizzini whose well-known line is "Inconceivable!"
It's not often that I feel the need to start a whole new thread or topic here at Pantry but lately we have had some tumultuous times personally and cyber-wise, so I thought it may be worthwhile to have a whinging/nit-picking/bitching place for some of the annoying habits and behaviours that others have and show to us on a daily basis.
So can I start?
I detest the overuse of some words such as "cool" "LOL" "yep". For goodness sake, buy a vocabulary people! It is INCONCEIVABLE for anyone not to have access to a dictionary.
I loathe dimwitted people. It is INCONCEIVABLE when they open their mouth and prove that Darwin was wrong.
I despise people who talk through meetings. I see it as completely disrespectful. It is INCONCEIVABLE to me that their trivial thoughts and questions should be more important than the person actually presenting.

In other words...pet peeves? LOL! (that was just put there because...)
I do love Princess Bride and I am guilty of using LOL and cool a lot...LOL is used because my reaction to a post is...laughter.
I actually don't like meetings and do the best I can to not have to attend such things. Most of the time, it's either a rant fest, a let's-make-fun-of-other-people fest, or waste-more-time-than-it's-worth fest.

It's not Pet Peeves, Aliciano. It's more an outlet to list the many different ways that our fellow humans irritate and confound us .... much as the man in black did to Vizzini.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE "The Princess Bride," Nay! There's nothing better than that movie, "except for maybe a nice MLT, mutton lettuce and tomato, when the tomato is juuuust ripe. So good. I love those. But anyway....." (Okay, that quote may have been a little off, sorry.)
Okay, you know what drives me up a wall that you can add to the list? People who can't step outside their own perspectives long enough to see the world or a situation from another person's eyes. INCONCEIVABLE!
Oh, and a nitpicky one.......people who use the following words in their incorrect form: there/their/they're; its/it's; who's/whose; your/you're. (Yes, we all get them wrong sometimes, myself included. I'm talking about those who do it frequently, or because they could care less about proofreading their work.) INCONCEIVABLE!

Am I so transparent and typical that you already know what I'm going to do? lol! We must be friends...lol!
Actually, I don't think I have the energy to think about what ticks me off right now. I've done one of these on my blog; I can just go back and cut and paste.
Calling the mechanic to take my car back in the morning...
I guess I could complain about that...why do mechanics take advantage of women? He was so nice, too. And normally, I don't trust latinos around here.

Crap! Now I'm hungry, Emily. But I have to agree 100% with you on those grammatical blips people make.
While we're on nitpicky ... did we ever leave?
My blood pressure rises with slow freaking drivers who don't look backwards. I swear if you EVER hear a news story of a perfectly normal Australian female leaping from her car, running alongside a nonogenarian Grandad (wearing coke bottle glasses) and flashing her breasts to get him to swerve off the road .......... it'll be me. Guaranteed!

How can it be you when you just said the news story would be of a perfectly normal Australian? And we all know your nun status does not allow such whimsy as boob flashing.
BTW, you better steer clear of the beaches in the south of France. They are topless...and yes, I know from personal experience. I had a very even tan after my visit....

Tex, you are technically correct. Just this once. In actuality, I am utterly, abundantly, unequivocally, positively, substantially, thoroughly ... well ... ab(ove)normal.
BTW Didn't you know that a modern nun's habit is joined with velcro for easy access? I like to call my manouevre 'Rip-a-tit'.

Rip-a-tit makes me think of titty twister.
So wrong. Just like Nay's Nun Charade.
Go to confession, Nay - if you can remember where to find the confessional. Maybe you can then point Butler in that direction too.

What's titty twister?
You are lucky that you have not been a victim of said titty twister. I remember someone trying to give me one when I was in young (grade school maybe?). That person was never seen or heard from again.
Whilst mainly done among males, some horny young boys will try it with young developing girls in a misguided attempt at flirting - or as a way to cop a feel.
A titty twister is the following (please note that this article is written by the eHow Culture and Society Editor -- hahahahaha):
How to Give a Titty Twister By eHow Culture & Society Editor Rate: (5 Ratings) The titty twister is a time honored tradition usually involving guys who are pulling a gag on one another. It starts in grade school, continues in high school and probably doesn't end until after college. (And will probably reappear after a few drinks at a reunion.) Here is how to give the ultimate titty twister.
Difficulty: Moderately EasyInstructions Step 1-Plan your moment of attack. The key to a good titty twister is a sneak attack. If the other person is expecting it, they can easily ward off the attack. Lay low and wait until you can seize a moment of surprise.
Step 2-Form your hand into a pincher position. Imagine your hand as if it were a crab or lobster claw. Take your middle finger, index finger and thumb and make a "c" or a backward "c."
Step 3-Grab your friend's nipple as hard as humanly possible with your "claw hand."
Step 4-Twist your hand hard as if opening a doorknob.
Step 5-Dodge the retaliation. Your friend will instantly yelp in pain and then look to give you a good natured dead arm punch or bitch slap.
Tips & Warnings Giving a titty twister can result in serious consequences including sexual harassment and a lower degree of assault if enacted on an unwilling participant of your gag. Be sure to only give a titty twister to someone you know will not take offense at the gag.

I don't count. I'm not a Gerry fan. Yes, that is conceivable.
Gerry is inconceivable. I hope. A pregnant Arnold Schwarzenegger more than makes up for the entire gender.
Oh, titty twister = purple nurples.
