At times like these, it's important to ask yourself: what would Weird Al do?

The wiring in my house is horrific, and it's been evident since day one. I live in the attic-esque upstairs, which only has one breaker  for every outlet up here. The same breaker goes to two of the outlets in the living room (of the eight in there). Twice in as many days my mom has blown the breaker. She has two lamps, her laptop she doesn't understand doesn't need to be plugged in 24/7 and (the deathblow both times) an iron plugged in there. Despite the fact that I literally have no alternatives when it comes to a power source and she has five others in that room and two other rooms spread out across four other breakers she can use for any ONE of those things (or she could just learn to not use them all at once) I am of course at fault every time.

tl;dr: I know the most about electronics / wiring so it must have been me whenever there's a problem.

My most recent bitching.
And when my mom is at work my sister does it. Of course she didn't do it plugging in an iron. That would be a fucking miracle.

I stumbled on a French-language let's play from a French dude. My first reaction was "ugh, no way I'm clicking that".

Then I had a... a thinking moment. "Why not?" And I had no immediate answer, so I looked at it.

Within like two minutes the guy used three English words with the sort of lazy, bastardized French pronunciation that refuses to acknowledge the borrowing, and for which perfectly adequate equivalents exist in actual French.

God damn that pisses me off. And in that I found the answer to my question.

On the other hand, examining myself, I like when anglophones use/borrow French words and expressions, even when they do so clumsily, because they at least make the token effort of recognizing that the pronunciation is different. But those French assholes? Noooooooooo. They just pick up the word wholesale and speak it like it's a legitimate replacement for the correct vocabulary, like the word they should be using isn't good enough. Idiots don't know what they're giving up.

I've seen people boil peanuts, which a person without a tongue might confuse for pickling, because there is a brine involved.

Well, it wasn't a very strong pickling - it's not like they tasted like dill pickles, just vaguely wrong. But the overall effect was terrible.

I hate when people come into the store and insist that what they want to sell to us is gold, silver, platinum, real diamonds, or what-the-fuck-ever.  It's really annoying to be told this when things are clearly marked or very obviously fake, and then you tell them they're mistaken, and they go on insisting and expecting tons of money.  Get the fuck outta my god damn store, I will punch your face you big strung out weirdo who probably stole everything you just brought to me.

Now I have a sudden desire to take actual gold/diamonds into your store and insist it's fake. GRANTED, I doubt you'd correct me, if it actually is a pawn shop.

Yeah, last I remembered, Lady Duke worked in the same gas station as Kazz. So I got this mental image of some THUG LYFE-type, coming in and trying to pay for gas for the (stolen) rusted getaway car with horribly ugly costume jewelry.

"I.E." and "E.G." are not interchangeable. Every time I see someone write something like "there are many ways to do a thing, i.e. this, that, and something else" it pisses me right off. I know this is unusually grammar nazi of me, but goddamn.
