Shit that annoys you

[Mustonen]

Local body repair shop tagline: “We meet by accident.”

Always thought that was cute, though I don’t imagine it’s original.

I’m with option C. - it was AN accident. I suspect “on accident” is meant to be the opposite of “on purpose,” but the opposite of purpose isn’t accident.

[riser4]

By. As in "It happened by accident. "It was caused by an accident."

What's the full sentence that justifies On?

I think "on accident" is used as a synonym for mistake in situations where the result is the actual "accident" and was not triggered by an accident. For example, I was sitting in the chair watching a movie and I shat my pants ________. Choose one of "by accident", "on accident", or "by mistake".

On accident is something younger generations say, because they’re stupid.

Annoys me, and makes me sad. RIP Graffit. Killed this morning 'in the line of duty'. Cops knew the guy had a gun so they let the K9 chase the suspect. Of course he killed the dog and not a cop. Do I want a cop killed? No. I'm just really torn with this as a dog person, and especially with my history with GSD's and Malinois. They are loyal to the bone.

The punishments are pretty weak as well, misdemeanor and a chance at a felony with only 3 years attached (for the dog part)? I know he’s facing a bunch of other stuff, but my emotional response is aligned w something much more severe.

It fucking annoys me when the photo doesn't match a news story, especially when it comes to seasons.



The shot in the screen capture clearly was not taken last month anywhere in VT.

So sorry. Here's an easy one for you to ponder: Do you take a shit or bring a shit?

I leave shits, I don’t give them

I say by accident when serious, and on accident when not.

[baron]

POLL:
'ON accident', or 'BY accident'?
I say BY accident. Those ON accident people can die in a grease fire.

always thought "On Accident" was satire or sarcasm

"By Accident" was a way to admit something went wrong without claiming responsibility or accusing fault

Is there a definition of boulevard that is different from street? Like an Alley?

A boulevard is usually divided, i.e. it has a median strip between opposing lanes of traffic.

That's my understanding. And if it isn't divided, it should at least be wide. I have too many broken dreams to fit on a narrow road.

That "on accident" shit like when people leave out the verb "to be" as in "this blanket needs washed". It's fine if they say it as long as they're okay with being sterilized.

How the fuck did that guy who shot the dog get away? He was nodding out, in a car. Then suddenly he's running away and nobody can catch him? wtf.

I always thought both of these sayings were a mid-west thing, like Ohio, where a lot of people tend to be on the stupid side.

He is a sleeper

This has probably already been covered, but how about those dumb motherfuckers that use "should of" instead of "should have"?

My inner grammar-Nazi thrashes around every time that happens, and it takes every ounce of willpower to not go apeshit.

And yes, I'm looking directly at some posters 'round this here forum.

should’ve

Meh, I could care less about that

I know, right?

[ötzi]

should’ve

Yeah if you hear me say "should of" I actually said "should've". Probably.

[Ted Striker]

Meh, I could care less about that

That one drives me nuts. It's literally this fucking stupid:

"I could have nuts"
"I've got some peanut butter in the kitchen"
"What? I can't have nuts, I'm allergic. Didn't you hear me?"

My clothes need worshed

I hate this usage and it seems like a more recent coinage, I think I only started hearing it in the last 10 years or so. I've been told it's a midwest thing.

[PB]

I grew up saying "worshcloth" (mid-western parents), got word punched first day in college, knocked it right out of my mouth.

[~mikey b]

I was fortunate that my dad new how to say “wash” because my mom (English teacher) the Okie from Bakersfield did not.
