This girl at my work always chooses option B and for some reason it drives me insane....its not like they're OUR mom & dad too, so I guess thats why it bothers me :dunno: I'm kinda pissy today...don't want to be at work because I leave for vacay tonight and I haven't started to pack yet. :madr:
Does it urk you more when people pronounce "wash", like "worsh?"

Depends on who I am talking to. If it is my best friend then I say B. Otherwise it's A all the time.
