People that speak to me and at the end of every stinking sentence, raise the tone of their voice so that every sentence sounds like a question rather than a statement.

I was walking down the street today? And I saw this big dog? He looked really mean? I thought he was going to bite me? blah blah blah.

(Don't worry about the dog. I may bite you!) oops, should I have put quotes around that?

BUGS ME!
PEEVES ME OFF!
WHAT IS UP WITH THAT???
Crawls off sheepishly to water my erbs.

Yes!

When I was a dog trainer (which really meant training the humans of the dog) I would try in vain to get people to stop "asking" their dog to do something. It's not, sit? It's sit! They call them commands because you're telling the animal to do something; not asking. To which they'd reply..."But I don't want to make him (the dog) mad at me."

People! I'll take a dog, anyday~
