Excessive masturbation to "liberty" as we see nowadays. Liberty is nothing without duty.

When I'm using a computer and people walk behind me. They don't even have to look at what I'm doing on the computer, but I immediately crack it at anyone who does it.

People mistaking theories for hypotheses.

When people substitute regular letters for 'cool' letters such as k or z.
This was formerly a signature. One day, it may return to its splendid past. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of my cats.

In parking lots, they furiously slam their door into your car as if it had somehow offended them.

Then they blithely saunter off, or worse yet, give you a cheerful wave.

The fact that there's not a Japanese class in my area.

The fact I can't get this dog away from me.

The fact that I'm not rich.

Misuse of the phrase "beg the question" to mean "raise the question" and not "arguing in a circle". Cripes, even Roger Penrose does it in his book!! :palm:

Actually, I know who you can blame.

There was a movie about it called The China Syndrome. It became a big fucking deal because it came out around the same time 3 Mile Island happened.

It's pretty mediocre for a disaster movie. I watch it to laugh at all those people who freaked out over it.

I do this, mostly out of habit. I am a firm believer in using my turning signal to announce my next move to other drivers. I have issue with those who never use their turn signal and those who use their turn signal after the fact, but that really applies more to freeway merging than anything.

All of those make perfect sense...

But when I KNOW for a FACT you're turning LEFT or RIGHT, you don't have to SIGNAL to me.

The arrows, the situation, the turning lane, all are indications of this. One more indication is insulting my intelligence.

And I also hate people who don't use the turning lane when changing lanes on the highway. :lol:

Well, of course. It's not like when you're in a turning lane that only allows you to go right, you're going to go left. You'll cause a collision.

Well, would you describe sudden, near-homicidal rage, inordinate amounts of giddyness, or suicide-grade depression as "quirks"? :meh:

If not, we will get along pretty well.
