"I'm not saying he's guilty" ......
How about: "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're a useless moron...." etc.
Or: "With all due respect, you aren't fit to host the bacteria that swim in your bladder.."
People complaining about a few inches of snow, in Canada. School bus is canceled in some parts because we are getting 5 inches of snow.
Count your blessings. We got half an inch of snow last week, and from Atlanta all the way up to Chattanooga, there were hundreds of cars abandoned by the sides of the roads, everything shut down, and kids were trapped in schools all across the state.
If we got 5 inches, I don't know what would happen. Probably something like a snowy version of Beyond Thunderdome.
That's a bit misrepresentative of what we had. We got 2" or so of snow, but we had several hours of freezing rain in sub-freezing temps in the hours leading up to it. Then we had municipalities, counties and employers realize they f'd up by opening for the day and put about 2m people on the already problematic roads at the same time. Nobody moved, which only served to keep the DOT trucks from being able to treat the roads and helped the ice form even thicker. By the time mid-late afternoon rolled around the interstates had turned into ice rinks and were full of cars. The slow movement helped break the ice up a bit, but by then it was too late and the stuff would just re-freeze immediately.

We didn't get hit nearly as bad as you all did down in Atlanta, but still had to put up with a smaller scale version of the same problems.
The stupidest thing was that schools and businesses didn't start letting out until it was far too late. It started snowing around 10, and by 10:30 it was blatantly obvious things were gonna be terrible. But everyone waited around until 12:30 to shut everything down, which ended up causing a huge scramble on the roads, and all kinds of panic resulted.
Just a half inch of snow, and you couldn't even go 5 minutes without hearing about various multicar pile ups and roads shutting down all across the area.
Am I a bad person for thinking that would be awesome?
No. It'd probably be pretty bad 'n rad. Right down the street at the local children's park is a jungle gym that would TOTALLY make for an awesome thunderdome.
The use of golf as a verb.
Loud chewing.
I'm with you on this one. I might be hypersensitive or something but certain foods and certain chewing "methods" really grind my gears. There's a certain someone (who will remain nameless) who manages to chew loudly even with their mouth closed. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN? WHY IS THIS SO ANNOYING?
