The use of the pronoun "they" for an individual to avoid offending anyone.
Maybe we could just give everyone the nickname “Pat”. That way, we don’t have to misuse the English language. We could also just say, “hey!”, to everyone. No names, no pronouns. But we can get extremely offended if the correct person doesn’t acknowledge they hear us.
I’m not sure it’s possible, but I would like to see if our beloved university could make the process any less efficient than it already is to get signed up to serve as an adjunct professor.
Once again, inconsistency from our ticket people rears it head. We have had 10 tickets for football for a decade. Always had 3 sets of parking passes. This year, only 2. Apparently, for a decade someone in the office did us a favor and provided 3 passes. This year, no dice. I don’t care what the rule is, just follow it.
Not surprising. This is a prime example of why there won't be more than 12K there for a home opener at 6:00pm.Quote:

Should have been mailed to all pass holders. What are we paying for if the fan has to give money in order to be allowed the opportunity to still do the leg work? I know it’s no big deal for me since I work all over town and pass Tech twice a week at least, but this is a simple thing.Quote:

Ordering a sweatshirt online to replace the one I ordered which does not fit. Even though the measurements they provide on the size chart are exactly my measurements. Of course, they never account for my ridiculously wide shoulders. Sometimes I hate buying clothes because to fit my shoulders the shirt hangs to my knees.
ALL suitcases go under the plane.
Business associates who ALWAYS let your call go to voicemail to make you think they are busy. It works for gullible people about 2 times. After about 100 phone calls, it’s just ridiculous.
When people put pronounce athlete with three syllables.
