They all sound like they have a mouth full of rocks when they try to say it.

So do the natives, but it takes years to truly master. Especially when shortening a three syllable word to one and a half-ish.

British video golf instructors. They're so verbose. They have a tendency to stretch a 5-minute lesson into 20 by just yacking away and not getting directly to the point.

How's that for trivial?

My attention span has shrunk a lot, probably because of years of watching Youtube.  But I agree with you. They need to get to the point.  I suppose they have to fill a certain amount of time, so they spend 20 minutes telling us about something that should take 30 seconds.  

The other thing I don't like about them is when they use props.  Martin Hall on The Golf Channel is the worst.  He's always building some contraption out of coat hangers and pvc pipes and stuff like that.  I'm not going to go to the driving range and do that.

By the way, speaking of Martin Hall, do you remember Holly Sonders?  She's had a very "interesting" career since leaving The Golf Channel.

I remember her, but didn’t keep up after she left. I did a quick internet search and it looks like Dupont has been very good to her.

Years ago, when I was working in Kansas, I went to a local golf range and there was a nerdy guy out there with pool noodles, gadgets and a broom working on his swing. I asked him if he was a fan of Michael Breed, who always used those props on the Golf Channel, but he cited some guy on YouTube I’ve never heard of. He’s the only person I’ve ever seen who was shameless enough to actually utilize props at a golf range.

I see people letting dogs lick them in the face. On the nose, on the mouth, all over their face. I wonder if they care that that dog was licking his butt hole right before the licked them on the mouth.

Correction, that dog was licking my ice cream cone right before he licked my face. Get it right.

I get more offended when I'm standing next to a tinkler at the office lavatory, they finish first, and head right out the door. Not even a rinse of the hands! Sick

After visiting the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany with some coworkers, we stopped at one of the cafes at the bottom of the hill for some refreshment. Sitting at the table next to us was a woman with a toy dog in her lap that she would feed with the same spoon she was eating with. She would spoon up whatever it was she was eating, let the dog lap at it and then put the rest in her mouth. It was utterly disgusting.

You know one less capital A and this statement still stands.

I'll give them credit, our last travels we were horribly delayed departing JAX. We landed with about 15 minutes to get to our connecting flight (on another concourse because obvi), we sprinted to the gate, they were waiting for us, locked the doors behind us. We made the plane, our bags did not. They put them on the next plane and all were delivered to our home before the end of the day. Had we missed the flight, no telling if we'd have been stranded or able to make the next plane.

One complaint, but not sure if this is them or TSA, but our checked bags all had keychains on the zipper for easy identification, each with a flat or round bottle opener. They removed the openers and trashed (or kept?) them. Remove them, fine, but shove it in a compartment on my bag, k?

Story too long to relay.  I had cancelled flights both to and from Myrtle Beach.  Got home a day and a half later than expected.  There are many more nuances but I won’t go into everything.

Flew Delta out of NYC into JAX once and had a nice flight.  So did my bags, but their plane went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.  It was a full WEEK before they found their way back to Jacksonville.
When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.
