Shooting them would be less likely to get you a speeding ticket, and if you're in the wilderness, the likelihood of you getting caught isn't all that bad.

Thats why I've always had plans to mount a tiny, discreet weapon on the bottom of my car that uses compressed air to fire at least one small tungsten spear connected to the car by a tungsten wire. I could blow out the tire on some irritating little cockmonkey, or use the conductivity of the tungsten to punch into the body of the car and deliver a disabling electric shock.

FEAR IT!

[Edit] Wait... is tungsten malleable enough to be formed into a wire?

Tungsten can be formed into wire, though it's rather difficult to do so.

... People who can't spell "hypocrites" or "hypocrisy." It's not "hypocrits," nor is it "hypocracy" ... unless, in the latter case, you're thinking of a death metal band.

And then there's Hippocracy (rule by hippos!)

Immaturity, excessive maturity, pretentiousness, and people who can spell and have good grammar, primarily because I'm jealous.

You realize that semantically you just said you're jealous of immature, excessively mature, and pretentious people, right?

I hate people with no chivalry.

when people find it neseccary to repeat themselves, or that they need to justify what they have asked you to do.

Take a typical conversation between me and my mum.

Mum: Take the rubbish bag out.

Me: Alright *gets up to go do it*

Mum: You see the bag is very full, so it has to be put out, and i'm to sick/sore/tired to do so...........yada yada

I'm not an idiot- i can see that the only reason she'd ask me to do something is because she has a reason, yet every little thing she asks, she does that. It is SO annoying.

Or she just repeats what she says but uses slightly different (normally simpler) words, like i'm a 4 year old! Even if i'm doing the task she still does it.

GAH!

I have the same problem.

Its like they're trying to make you feel guilty for them, even though you've already told them you're going to do it.

If you want me to do something, I'll do it. Don't try to send me on a fucking guilt trip or you're doing it yourself.

just 5 sec ago i got another one

Mum: i haven't bugged you all week about your room. And what about this homework you have to do.

Me: Give me 15 minutes and i'll go do it. I have to clean my room any way before i can start.

Mum: Alright- you have until 12. Then you have to spend from 12 til 2 cleaning your room.

So by her logic, my room being clean is more important than school work???? when am i able to do school work then? She know full well that i'm going out at 4 anyway

And i alreday bloody said i'm going to clean my room.

And now she's walking around like nothing ever happened- i swear she's bi-polar

I love my mom to death, but I'm glad I don't live there anymore.

Of course, my grandma isn't much better...but she at least leaves me to myself most of the time.

*chants "Only 1 month till school starts" over and over*

I just get annoyed by the way my mother doesen't listen to me, and needs things repeated 5 times before she seems to get it.

Or the way she just doesen't stop talking.

I'm annoyed because my cat wants to eat my dinner.
No! I've fed you twice since I came home from work!
These lamb chops are mine!

Mine asks me to do the obvious, and then complains about my lack of initiative. (She's pretty much stopped since I pointed it out to her.) She also complains about me 'not paying attention' to minute details of boring things, and says I don't 'talk to people'(her) when we really have nothing in common besides our last names.

I can tell I'm going to need therapy in ten years.

Mom; Oh, Jonn, watch this boring and historical event with our on our couuntry's equivalent of public access television.
Me; No.
Mom; You don't talk to people.

If I wanted a woman to do this to me all the time, I'd marry her.

I'd like to know why the concept of logic sometimes seems abstract to mothers. Incidentally, mine's an ENGLISH teacher.

Speaking of families, in June, my sister was watching TV when she was supposed to be studying for finals. I had already finished mine, and told her to get off so I would watch. She used the arguement that I had done the same during my exams, so I had no right to tell her to leave the TV, comepletly ignoring the fact that commiting the same sin as another doesn't make it right..

Aarrgghh!
