Things that annoy me: sign language

I don't have anything against deaf people, but I do have something against non-deaf people who feel the need to perform inspirational songs in sign language. It's really annoying, you guys. No one gives a shit if you know the signs to "The Greatest Love of All" or "Wind Beneath My Wings." What do they expect to happen?

Wow, I was a crack-addicted deaf teenaged gutter-slut, but someone told me in sign language that "children are the future" and I was inspired to turn my life around.

Non-deaf people signing is only acceptable in Drop Dead Gorgeous, one of the funniest movies of all time.


I'd like to see someone do a sign language version of "Straight Outta Compton." The only sign language I know are gang signs and the middle finger, and I think both would fit in nicely with that song.

Peeved 2.0

If you want to do something that makes my ears bleed, add some redundant words after your acronyms. Whenever I hear someone say "ATM machine," "PIN number," or "SAT test," I want to scream. Or punch a baby.

You wouldn't say "automated teller machine machine," "personal identification number number" or "standard achievement test test," would you?

Same goes for "LCD display" and "HTML language."

...and for the librarians out there, stop saying "ISBN number."

Pet Peeve of the Day:
When people use the word "stinkin'" to refer to something that does not in fact stink. Example: "Your baby is so stinkin' cute."

That word, when used that way, makes me want to gouge my ears out with a blunt object.
