I beg to differ!

I've been seeing a lot of write ups and forwards on commonly used illogical statements. There are plenty of them and i honestly find many of them, to be logical enough, to be pardoned the brickbat. This post draws inspiration from a post which i came across while surfing through blogs. I diplomatically apologize for copyright violations, if any; here's what this person had to say.

"Ok...this is not something entirely orginal. But i saw a similar forward which got me thinking. What are the things that I find irritating? This is what I ended up with. Not necessarily a wholesome list, but just the things on top of my mind

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time...I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.

3. This one just came into my mind, since its my birthday in another hour.
When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?

5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid a 100 bucks(yup surat is damn expensive) to come to the theatre and stare at the damn floor.

6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya?

7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, it couldn't be new.

8. When you are waiting for the bus (not in surat, but in hyderabad) and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

9. When they say, "Hey, what's up?". Its always the ceiling or the blue sky idiot.

Am pretty sure everyone of us has had a similar feeling sometime or other, but then why dont we stop saying such stupid stuff? "




i beg to differ as follows:

1) to counter morons who never hear anything the first time. point at the wrist and they get the point. time saved, effort saved!

2)ok, went to the T.V and changed the channel once, twice, thrice...then?

3)forget the logic, its a highly inappropriate phrase. If u have friends who say so, i pity you!

4)if timed correctly, there wouldn't be any plausible place left to search under normal circumstances, when said so.

5)i partially agree...but then, in a hypothetical scene from a hypothetical movie, would you notice the nameboard on a beach if mallika sherawat is in the vicinity in a 2 piece?

6) a genuine paradox..bingo!!

7)advertising has its own sense of logic (mind recall tactics, i'd say)..nevertheless, to argue, new needn't necessarily be improved!

8)very valid...my regards to the masterpieces who coined such phrases.

9)welcome to Americanese! its not even english in the first place!
