~ Don't describe triscuits as containing "soft white winter wheat". That doesn't make me wanna eat them.
~ People should not say "irregardless".
~ People should also not say "for all intensive purposes" (right Justin?).
~ If you want to unfreeze meat, you say "thaw", not "unthaw", unless you want to freeze it again.
~ When asked "How are you?", people should answer with something like "Fine, good" etc. They should not answer with the same question. I asked you first.
~ There is no need in the world to make commercials 100x louder than TV programs.
~ The left lane of a highway is for passing/fast drivers. It is not to get a better look at the other side of the field or to see if the cows on that side are the same color.
~ There is very little that is more awkward than walking into a male patient's room while a Vagisil commercial is blaring on the TV.
~ If it's not your own yard, don't play in it.
~ Revving your engine really loud when you see a girl is super cool. Oh wait, I mean it's not. It's not cool at all. I don't think you are cool when you do this. In fact, pretty sure it has the opposite effect on me.
~ If you don't want to wear a helmet when you ride your motorcycle, that's your choice. But I won't feel sorry for you when your splatter your brains on the concrete.
~ Know when to use "too" vs. "to" and "there" vs. "their" vs. "they're"
~ "Save $15.00 off" doesn't make any sense. It's one or the other bitches.
Trust that I will add more to this list as I think of them. So keeping checking back, peeps!
Additions:
~ The word is 'height', there is no 'h' at the end of it. Get it straighth.
~ Do not put your tabs on your license plate in any sort of design. This is silly. They are not for decoration.
~ Use the word 'literally' in the right way. For example: 'She literally charmed the pants off him.' So, she was so charming that he stood there listening to her and decided it was time to depants? I doubt it.
~ I would rather you use no commas instead of too many in the wrong places. An example of a sign I saw in the shower at the lake: 'Please pull curtain, inside ledge when showering.' Same goes for quotations. What does this mean anyway?: Please "only" toilet paper in the toilet (sign in the bathroom at work).

I love that list! You make me giggle. I look forward to future "things on your mind". :)
Love ya!
Did you make all of that up? If so, you are incredibly creative! If not, you shouldn't present it like you made it up. Ha! It's been awhile since I visited, huh? Irregardless, it's nice to be back.
Feeling silly,

Use "whom" when it is a subject of a preposition
I am going to add one more thing to my list of things on my mind/pet peeves: anonymous posters.
Jenn: yes, this is all my doing, I did not steal any of this info from anywhere else, just my brain.
Mel: I hope you check back to see the additions!
Hi Sara - don't forget to add my license plate tabs issue. =)
Mfsil! I did, it's under the additions part. If my blog is bookmarked on your computer, it probably won't show up, so you'll have to update or enter the address again. I did it last night or the night before. I didn't forget about you!
Hilarious, absolutely hilarious. I would have to agree on all of those. You did forget about the apostrophe one though.
Love you sis!
Brilliant!
You should have a segment on the local news. You could call it "You know what really grinds my gears?"
