I would surely ban
1. Clowns
2. Mimes
3. Barbershop quartets
4. Female barbershop quartettes
5. People who finish your sentences with you
6. Alvin and the chipmunks
7. Christmas novelty songs
8. Christmas that decks the shelves before Halloween
9. People who sing along with operas AT the opera...
10. comb-overs (bald is sexy. Comb marks are not)
11. flavored coffees (ask first)
12. People who can't wait to tell you the ending of the book you just started,
or the movie they've seen and you are half way through...
13. Those tiny marshmallows they put in hot chocolate

ReplyDeleteAnd, and, and... Oh this list could go on forever.
ReplyDeleteI would add a ban on the habit of starting every (verbal) response to a question with, "Okay, so..."
oh, there's hundreds. Aha, there's your next week's challenge...
DeleteI second #6 and #10 and raise speed bumps and stink bugs.
ReplyDeleteNot much we can do about the stink bugs, but I agree heartily about speed bumps.
DeleteAnd those warning signs that remind you you are about to hit a frost heave, two seconds too late.
Can we ban the improper use of "like" as in "she be like" or, like, wow, like, you know . . . oh gee, we could go on forever, couldn't we?
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, like, you know, like, I TOTALLY agree, you know?
DeleteAnd the other one, the Valley Girl inflection? At the end of a sentence?
I totally get the rest, but for #5, what's with y... oh. Yeah, that's a pain.
ReplyDeleteThey really don't hear you, all they're listening for is the punch line at the end. sometimes if I'm trapped with one, I'll play games by substituting other words at the ends of the sentences. (snrk snrk)
DeleteStop over from Alice and not sure what I would ban.
ReplyDeleteBut I know two things I would run on for president.
If you have time stop in for a cup of coffee
A few I wouldn't ban, but most I agree with! Have a great week!!
