Mine is people using are instead of our. I hear this all the time from social media, news reporters, and I see in in writing. Instead of our, they use are as if they forgot the word our exists.

    People on their phones while driving. Aside from the danger it poses, I have been stuck at a light behind someone who is obviously scrolling on their phone and then doesn’t realize the light has turned green. Sometime this lasts for 10-20 seconds, which is a lifetime when trying to efficiently move through a series of stop lights. I’m not an aggressive horn honker, and I feel like an asshole if I have to use it. But if you are fucking with the flow of traffic you deserve it.

      Come to the dark side. If someone has done something unrepentantly stupid, I will lay on the horn until that thing is undone.

        I am joining the dark side on this one. It’s justified when they are slowing down everyones commute.
