I got an gift though of another " moving picture" frame...and I think people should take an better look at the photgraphs they post in them... and make sure they are the better top notch photo's. It's not an pet hate...but one I wish people would think about doing. As for "pet hates"... being passed with the problems of others, they have made, and now needs resolved, or changed for humanity's sake... and the "insecurity" of people being "sweet" talking to your face..... when you can plainly see they are raving idiots that don't mean an ounce of niceness otherwise, but unto and for themselves. Try being an pschyic some time people...and understand quietly... what such people are really like. It's an real eye-opener. |

I can't tell you how many times I hear supposedly educated people (in the case of actors, they even have a script) saying something like "He was very kind to Joe and I" (you would never say he was kind to I) or "Myself and Joe were the first ones on the scene." (here is where you would use Joe and I). Crikey! As a card carrying member of the grammar police, this really gets up my nose. (Please feel free to grammar-check this post if you find I have made any grammatical errors of my own). Ta. |

As a general rule to your post is that you always speak as is you were talking about yourself ........ and your examples are absolutely spot on. |
