Rants far and wide

Why do people say "anxious" when they mean "eager"? WHY?!?

Anxious - experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness - "The way you are driving is making me anxious"

Eager - wanting to do or have something very much - "I'm eager to join you for dinner tonight"

You are not "anxious" to go to Disneyland. You are eager. Well, unless you have a phobia of man-sized mice or you hate waiting in lines for hours.

Oh... and stop writing "would of" as in "I would of gone, but I was tired." "Would've" is a contraction of "would have". Just because it sounds like "would of" when spoken, that does not mean you are allowed to write it that way.

That is all.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU! I see this all the time on this site and just in writing in general. I just can't take people seriously when they write that.

Go for it!

I hate restrooms with automatic, motions sensing lights that turn off while you're still in the stall. Even technology judges me if I spend too much time in there. LOL

OMGosh Goken! Me too.

My apartment building has all our common areas on timers! One time I was writing a research paper, and the lights went out every five minutes because I wasn't moving or anything... I had to wave my arms frantically for them to turn back on. hahah. It was so funny.

Wait WHAT?! Explain more about this magical thing?

It is a public toilet that has a self-cleaning system ; you go in, do your thing and when you close the door on the way out, there is a time when no one else can open it (not long, 2-3 minutes) where it cleans itself.

But, it can get confused and when you close the door to go in, it thinks you're leaving ... So, it effectively locks you in and hoses you down with a fine mist of anti-bacterial gook. And while you're standing there thinking "wtf !" it is spinning the toilet around at 72 rpm all frothy-like and not even playing a tune ...

Hahahahahaha!

This might be the best thing I have read all week. Possibly all month. Thank you!
