That bugs me, too, Jennifer! Whenever I hear someone say "I could care less," I'm tempted to reply, "Then, why DON'T you care less?" Except that they probably wouldn't get it!

So right, RJS! Because when they say that, it means they care about that subject more than other things, and that's not what they meant to say. And, you're right again about them not getting it. I'm thinking that if you tried to explain it to them, they would say something like "I could care less.". LOL!

Okay so it has been awhile since I have been on !!!!!! Life just gets busy. Anyway..... Pet peeve of mine now is when you are in a doctors office there is always one person who is talking nonstop on a cell phone. For goodness sake people we don't want to hear about who dumped who !!!! lol I just read an article about a women on a train for 16 hours on the cell phone the whole time. Glad I was not on that train would have drove me beyond nuts

People talking on the cell phone while driving! Omg! They are not so sharp when doing so. Many times does things that can cause an accident.

People are just careless when it comes to driving sometimes

Wolf_angel · May 25th, 2011, 07:43 AM

Yes but that is something that can cause an accident! Yikes!

Hey girls! I agree with you about cell phones. It was a wonderful invention, but totally misused now. How about people in a grocery store calling to ask what bread they should buy?!?
