    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Are you a bigger fan of Vince Offer's ShamWow work or his SlapChop work?

    To keep this on topic, a pet peeve of mine is people who don't understand the brilliance of Offer's pitchman art.

    I don't think you can beat the "You're going to love my nuts" comment. Plus, while the sham-wow is a neat concept, you have to admit that the Slap chop is the best product he's selling.

    Making a salad is such a troublesome and time consuming activity. And I do have a boring life. With the Slap-chop, I'm all but guaranteed to get me some.

    What really grinds my gears is when you work hard to get a girl drunk, give her a few roofies and when you go to make sweet unconscious love to her, she throws up on you. And when you try to use the throw up as lube, the police show up and arrest you.

    Yeah. "Are you with me, camera guy?" is pretty win, though.

    Yes, but it really only has one connotation which could be taken from it. "You're going to love my nuts" not only has comical innuendo prospects in it, but it has some truth in it. Chopped up nuts do taste good.

    Eh, that's just an American thing (the tipping). Over in Germany, you don't tip. You pay what you pay, and if they offer EXTRAORDINARY service you tip, maybe. They're under the ideal that the customer came into my bar/store/restaurant, that's good enough.


    I've never had better service, and nicer people being over in Germany/Europe. (Except Paris) and tipping just isn't part of the equation.

    Sounds good to me. If you're such a loser you rape a woman, I hope your ass gets slammed. And that you get puked and that she has diarrhea. All over you.

    I agree that tipping seems out of hand. I just got back from a cruise and they expected me to tip $300 for the week - for head waiters, maids, bartenders, etc. Half the people I never even met.

    I opted out and tipped a few I knew.

    If someone is underpaid, it is not my problem.

    When she asks for cab fare.

    When at the gym 1) people just do bicep curls for hours (I hate bicep curls more then anything and to see someone do them all day kills me.) and 2) when people lift weight to heavy for them and when they are done they just let it go and drop it to the floor.

    And I thought I was the only one who had this happen to them.


    Other pet peeves: When during rush hour some idiot has several chances to merge but charges to the end of the merge lane and ends up coming to a screeching halt as everybody slams on their brakes to avoid an accident.

    Using the wrong word! My biggest pet peeve for this forum!

    People...You LOSE a Game! Not LOOSE a game! I swear to god that happens more often than not

    Also, know the difference between "to" and "too"

    Ex: I went to the store.

    I really want to go too. (aka:also)

    Get it right!!!

    My pet peeve is when you have a clear shot at a ton of cap space and some lesser organization signs a player who is done just to fuck you over.
