People who mangle the old saying, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" into "The proof is in the pudding".

I just wonder how these people can function when they ask questions like that.

Someone the other day told me they went to a screening of a film. And it wasn't a film that hadn't come out yet. Had been out. I found myself being bothered by the sentence when in reality not that big of a deal.

That doesn't surprise me (and not your fault), but it grates on my ears.

ETA: "Proof" is an old word for "test". So the test of the pudding comes when you eat it. It may look pretty, it may smell good, but the proof is in the eating.

What kind of proof is in a pudding, though?

When I answer the phone, "This is Loco" and then they say, "Is this Steve?".

Uhmmm...Yes...yes it is Steve. You got me. I was trying to trick you by using an alias, but you are way too smart for that.

Agree with the overuse of windshield wipers. I use mine as if each swipe kills an unborn child.

when my wife leaves the pantry door open.

when a waiter expects me to hand them my finished plate. its your job, bend over and pick it up.

when i'm sitting in stop and go traffic and the person in front of me leaves more than 10 feet of space between them and the car in front of them. i don't want anyone getting ahead of me.

That should be on a sign somewhere, or the title of a book, or a line in a song.
