Ok so my girlfriend just rode her massive suitcase down the ramp at SEATAC to passport control. Just like a scooter! This is too weird to read!

It's a challenge, but I do find that believing most people are kind and thoughtful helps me get through life a bit better. Assigning rudeness to an overused phrase could be warranted, but it could also be a silly habit from work or living in Los Angeles for too long :D.

A verbal habit that I really dislike is when people end a sentence with "right?" or "remember?". Instead of saying "You didn't feed the dog dammit" someone might say "I asked you to feed the dog, right?" which is full of condescending ick for me.

Another one I've been snapped at before is "if you think about it...", which of course implies your listener *isn't* thinking about whatever the topic is. I think it's useful to not get trapped in the literal; English is weird.

I do agree that it *can* sound rude if you take the words literally, but in the context of a conversation it can be helpful to anchor what you're currently saying to a previous statement, e.g. I could be telling you I love cats, but "like I said earlier" I also love dogs. Especially yours :).

True - *I* am reasoning about the problem and telling it what code I want written. As far as giving me poop, that could be the case but you haven't seen it and I would love it if you *could* see it and enlighten me. You could change my mind ya know.

That's so interesting - I keep thinking I've never seen that before but then I must have as it doesn't seem all that outlandish. Plus it's great for the flow of light.
