I hate when you have a 20 post debate with somebody and they eventually play the "it's just a T.V. show card" and storm off. It is the pinnacle of passive aggressive posting.
Ever have someone think you work at a store because your shirt is the same color as an employee's? Or be off and still asked question while you're trying to shop?"Do you work here?"
YES, DAMMIT, I FUCKING WORK HERE! I'M WEARING A WORK HAT, WORK SHIRT, WORK APRON, WORK SHOES, FUCKING EVERYTHING HAS MY STORE'S FUCKING NAME ON IT!!!!
(Oh, the coffee's in aisle 6.)
I'm confused by this. Do you not use pots or kettles?
Maybe you can use this too...
It was first year biology class in high school, around 1965, the classroom was built for lab experiments with electrical outlets built into the tables. The teacher was a great guy, knew his stuff, could tell good jokes, but he had a temper which he rarely displayed.
This kid I'm sitting next to (we'll call him Donald) was sort of a goofy wiseguy, and decides to see if the outlets are live while the teacher's answering questions. He takes two foil chewing gum wrappers, folds them lengthwise a few times to make them thin, and sticks each one into the socket holes. He borrows my pen and taps them together. We're sitting in the front row.
BANG!
A little cloud of smoke goes up. Everything comes to a stop and everyone, including the teacher, are staring at us. The teacher just looks at Donald for a few seconds.
"Donald, what are you doing?"
"I was wondering if it was a live outlet."
"What?"
"I didn't know it was a live outlet. I wanted to see if--"
"Donald, go to the office."
The kid immediately exits. After the door closes, teacher turns to the class.
"Ignorance I can understand, but I have no patience for stupidity."
No, I don't. But you're absolutely right, people still do. I guess that what I meant, which I didn't express in the most eloquent way, was that the whole "Pot/Kettle/Black" thing harkens back to a time when people used to cook over an open flame using iron pots and copper kettles, which became blackened with soot. In a world of electric kettles and microwave ovens, the metaphor has lost most of its edge, and is utterly impenetrable for most people, which, in my opinion, makes its ubiquity in public discourse hilarious.
I couldn't do that as a lot of old(?) sayings come from something I know nothing about: sports!
Oh nice one.

"Well, if you want to know what I think..."
I DON'T. I REALLY, REALLY DON'T. PLEASE SHUT UP AND GO AWAY.

"In my opinion..."
DUH!! WHOSE THE FUCK ELSE OPINION WOULD IT BE? YOU'RE SAYING IT YOURSELF, THEREFORE IT IS YOUR OWN STUPID OPINION!!!
"We need to talk."
NO WE DON'T. BESIDES, THAT JUST MEANS YOU THINK I'M WRONG ANYWAY, SO WHY NOT AVOID THE ARGUMENT IN ADVANCE?
"Why are you shouting?"
I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S JUST WHAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THIS THREAD IS DOING. THAT'S A GOOD POINT, ACTUALLY....

Sometimes on the interweb people will think you're stating fact unless you actually tell them otherwise... and these days people in RL even have that very same bad habit!
Mine are all stainless steal.
I actually paid for mine.
