    Disrespectful, lack of class and unmannerly. It’s annoying to me. Not a big deal but irksome.

    To the contrary, I think men wearing hats as fashionable accoutrements, casual or otherwise, is a vestige of a bygone era.
    If you are on the golf course and in danger of getting a sunburn on your scalp, that is a safety issue and covered by my initial caveat.
    However, when there is no longer any risk, you lose the hat.

    Ball caps and casual hats are for kids.
    Derbies, fedoras, trilbies, etc, are for d-bags.

    That took me a few seconds, but I got it.

    I'm a couple weeks from turning the big 5-0, and I have a lot of baseball caps. I won't wear one to a nice restaurant, or church or a wedding, but when I'm going shopping, or to the gym or walking around town, or going to my niece's soccer game, I'll wear one of them, and I don't really give a shit what anyone thinks about it.

    How come Bed, Bath and Beyond mails a million coupons to my house but no coupons can be found in the store or online?

    Went to buy my mom a gift when I happened to be by one today, but there's no way I'm paying full price when I have a stack of 20 percent off coupons at home.

    Misuse of reflexive pronouns. Always done to make the writer/speaker seem smarter.

    People who can’t answer the simple small talk question of “Hey, how are ya?” without saying something like, “oh, medium rare” or “I could complain, but who would listen” or “well, i’m breathing, so...”

    Just answer good and be done with it.

    I just asked them at the register once while making a significant purchase and they hooked me up.

    People who refer to people as "that" instead of "who."
    I see and hear it all the time - the players "that" did this, the person "that" said this; the students "that" did this thing.
    People are who; things are that.

    If you have a stack, you might as well throw most away, as they have expired.

    What irks me is A.C. Moore's rewards program. Every $200 you spend, they send you a $10 coupon. But you have to spend the $200 within a certain time period, or you start over at $0.
