Just give it up and admit you love me.
Let’s just say I find you more interesting than athlete’s foot, but not nearly as interesting as gangrene.

Stabbing people for uttering cliches...is this similar to being a "grammar Nazi" I wonder...

When young people decided to replace "You're welcome" with "No problem," I realized I had become uncomfortably curmudgeonly. I wanted to reply, "I don't care if it was a problem or not. No, I hope it was. I said 'thank you' dammit!"
I tried to fix the problem by never thanking a young person. I couldn't do it. It would just come out, and then I would cringe and brace for the improper, lazy response. So I tried to desensitize myself by using their "no problem." I couldn't be sincere. I would say it in a stoner voice, like Tommy Chong. That felt impolite, and I wanted to stab myself.
I had to adapt. It's cool. Everything's awesome. No problem, man.

Get your GPS fixed, because the road to "give a fuck" does not start with me.
