Stupid Pet Peeves

[franklin]

I hate it when people take what you just said, reword it, add some snappy hand gestures or get all boisterous, then turn around and give it right back to everyone in the group as if they just had the greatest idea in the world.

This is my dad to a tee. He's one of those that's what I was just about to say types and it pairs well with his tendency of always having to tell people how to do things like where exactly to park our camp trailers during family reunions. The dude still tells me that I need to empty the drier vent and other dumb stuff. We all shake our heads.

Are you my dad? He's pretty OSDC about timing stuff as well. He usually calls before coming over and will tell me to the minute what time he will arrive.

That's a helluva lot better than calling you telling you that you're coming over right away and then not showing up for an hour and a half because you have 20 other OCD things you need to do along the route.

My dad's a character.

People who pronounce the word BANAL as "bah - NAHL" with the accent on the second syllable.

It's BAY-null - rhymes with AY-null - unless you pronounce it "ah-NAHL" (does ANYBODY pronounce it that way?)

and another one, female ginkgo trees, especially this time of year...

that smelly fruit is all over the ground, and you walk through it and your shoes smell like **** for hours afterwards

People who pronounce the word BANAL as "bah - NAHL" with the accent on the second syllable.

It's BAY-null - rhymes with AY-null - unless you pronounce it "ah-NAHL" (does ANYBODY pronounce it that way?)

According to google, it is ba-NAHL.

Do people get **** if they're out say 2-3 days with a doctor's note? They may not get an occurrence but it still looks bad, type of ****?

Not generally, but there is a small group of guys who talk **** about everyone all the time for everything. The worst offender criticized someone for taking a bereavement day boasting that he didn't take one when his own dad died of a heart attack. I was looking at him dumbfounded on that one.

Isn't she saying it should be bay-nal. Which is absolutely not the way I've heard anyone say it, ever.

I've never heard it said that way, either. And really, the only time I ever really hear anyone say it they are being a pompous jackass. And pompous jackasses usually say it ba-NAHL.

I listened again and she's saying "(American) bah-nal"

What I'm saying is that moe is arguing the correct pronunciation should be bay-nul, which rhymes with anal. That's not right.

But like you said, it's more of a word you'd hear on Frasier, than something anyone would use IRL.
