Yes, it is " bear with me". You are asking someone to endure with you. I just assumed the people who were saying bare were kidding. Except Kenny who obviously was kidding.Date: 5/25/2010 1:00:16 PM

I am somewhat misanthropic and it is Monday, so bare with me.
I do hate it when people use the wrong word like bear with me rather than bare with me. I try to be tolerant since despite my best efforts, I still get effect and affect wrong sometimes, but the basics, its, site, there and to in their variations are pretty easy.
so went to look it up straight away to check, apparently bear with me is the correct spelling.

I appreciate those who in traffic understand that inching a foot or so up or over in their lane may allow others to past or turn in or clear their path to continue. Just an inch or so sometimes. So when I see someone at a red light 2 or more cars lengths back from the car in front of them, oblivious to the length of cars they are holding up behind them, WELL it irks me BEYOND MENTAL CAPACITY.

Merging in traffic. As my friend, Renee says; 'it's like a freakin' zipper people - every other car!'
I completely understand and agree with the point of not leaving ridiculously huge spaces, etc, in traffic, but I can not agree with the highlighted part. I don''t ever sit in the intersection! I don''t feel that it''s safe. And I''m not going to risk my safety in order for the person behind me to get to their destination 30 seconds sooner, KWIM?Date: 5/25/2010 3:47:33 PM

Ditto this. If you are turning left, pull ahead into the intersection so the cars behind you that are not turning can get around you. I''m amazed at how few people know this little traffic courtesy.
While waiting in the intersection to turn left is a common practice here, I believe that it is technically breaking the law -- at least that is what was taught in the class I took 8 years ago.Date: 5/25/2010 3:57:22 PM

Click in the quoted text (or your own text) and select what you want highlighted and then click the button for highlighting. (top row next to 'font' and 'size' -- it is the little pen looking thing with 'AB' highlighted yellow)
Dude, where are you getting your coffee?! lol, I used to work at Starbucks, and all of the above are huge no-no''s!Date: 5/26/2010 2:25:40 PM

People who drop serving utensils on the floor at a large event and then put them back on the table for other people to keep using. (this was a 20-something and I think she thought no one was looking)
Baristas who don''t clean the steam wand between uses.
Baristas who re-steam milk that has been sitting too long (this affects quality and can make people sick).
I worked at Starbucks for 9 months. I saw a lot of this while I worked there (mostly just a couple of people -- but friends of the manager). I still see this at Starbucks when I go in (which is very rarely). It seems to vary by store -- some keep to the standards and others don''t.Date: 5/26/2010 2:35:40 PM
