There's a guy who's always got his little foofy dog off the leash here. He lives right next to the 4 lane highway which is busy at all times. Pisses me off to see the dog off the leash like that and I told him so on many occasions. He fully trusts his dog won't run off and chase something into the road. Idiot.

Today's irk - TRAWL through vs TROLL through. Morons, you cannot TROLL through an amount of something looking for what you need. You TRAWL through - like when someone is fishing and they are trawling looking for fish.
