Things that irk you......

And I sure as hell ain't buying them from a middle-age man from 1981 (gold chain, pornstache and huggy pillow).

 

Every time I hear the My Pillow commercial, I wonder why Dan Dierdorf decided to go into the pillow business.

 

It's a fucking ear worm jingle too.

"For a good night's sleep in the whole wide world, it's mypillow dot com"

Arrgh

 

One of the women on the radio station I frequently listen to used to read the radio spots for My Pillow. It was a little jarring hearing her talk about how comfortable her pillows were. Then when I heard the creepy dude and it just felt wrong.

 

Much better story. Especially if YOU knew how comfortable her pillows were.

 

Just wait until My Pillow and Oxy Clean form a corporate partnership, and she starts doing live reads describing the best way to clean her dirty pillows.

 

Speaking of Oxy, is that the best way to clean white T-shirts?

 

I hate trying to figure out what the hell to do in the following quote situation:

Is it:

yada". or yada."

This has bothered me since first grade.

I'm sure the latter is correct, but when it's not representing a quote from someone, it looks weird to me.

And then there's that thing about leaving it completely off when the quotes continue into the next paragraph that I thought WTF when I first saw that.

Anyway, are there cases where ". is acceptable?

 

Best practices, deliverables, stakeholders. ... You see this triple play in a job ad, get ready to meet Bill Lumbergh.

 

Good morning, Slacker.

 

Don’t ever try to get a PMP, then.

It’s basically a giant memorization test for “buzzwords” like this.
