Biggest Pet Peeve
FOUND by Chucklyn
in Chicago, IL
This item was scribbled on a bar napkin in a random dive bar and is actually surprisingly legible for having been so.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
... words like 'utilization' and 'contraction'.
i hate people using too big of words too. Especially when i'm drunk.
Yeah, those lawyers with their bar exams and their too big of words really irk me, too.
"What happened to you, Roz?"
"Oh, some guy in a suit used too big of words when I was at the bar--and my head asploded."
While one is drinking at a bar, how does one know a contraction is being used incorrectly during a spoken conversation? I mean, who can tell the difference between 'your' and 'you're' while in a random dive bar?
...written by 2 snotty chicks....
@ fooch ... Good point! At least in Georgia one could hear the difference between "y'all's" and "y'all're"
These two napkin notewriters obviously comment regularly on Foundmagazine.
I think writer 1 was male, writer 2 female.
...my biggest pet peeve
is when people Yo<<scratch out>>
Writer at that point feels self-loathing having realized he was about to write "yous" instead of "use" and knows he is no better than the rest of the rabble out there...
an xspecially after considering themself being suposably a better righter then everyones else.
I axed my perfesser about this and he said "yo, why dint you invite me to da bar"..
my guess is that this was written by tangint and baby basil.
My pet peeve is when judgenmental bitches with shitty handwriting get uppity about grammar.
...and it's you're not you'r, hooker.
I was going to guess Hiplainsdrifter and Baby Basil.
Librarian and Mona Lisa
Not possible ... I only hang around beer gardens & brew pubs in Portland, ME - no time for dives in Chi-town...
Hey Highplains, is the Free Street Pub still there in Portland? My band used to play there.
This looks like something I would have written in a boring, loud, and crowded bar.
For some reason I pictured both writers to be male. Not sure why. But the handwriting looks to be a male and a female. Hmm....
this made me laugh out loud.
@Finsterton Smythe - what's the name of your band? I used to go to the Free Street Pub when friends were playing in the mid 90's.
Didn't get to check in yesterday so my comment is way too late, but does this read like a script from the Hills to anyone else?
Oh this was in the mid 80's...Angel Cruz was the name of the Band...I was actually on the crew, my band was The Dead Morticians..we were the crew for Angel Cruz and also played..It's funny some towns Angel Cruz played in The Dead Morticians were more popular..
and at what point was someone planning on making a comment about the submitter's name. chucklyn? seriously? what a terrible name with which to go through life...
Free Street is closed!
When you next return go to the following:
Novare Res
Grittys
3 Dollar Dewey's
Brian Boru
Re Ra's
and about 20 other places...
I was thinking that "Chucklyn" was a play on words, and they were actually chuckling (or chucklin') at the Find.
If not, rest assured, I have definitely heard worse names that Chucklyn.
Than! Than Chucklyn.
I know a kid whose parents named her Abcde. (pronounced "ab'-siddy")
