A lot younger Asian people I know use it from time to time. Kind of like as a cutesy thing to do on the internet... like ^__^ and whatnot.

I also HATE when people type "kekekekeke" as laughing
Seriously, what is that
it's the japanese onomatopoeia for laughing

Kekekeke.
Ahhh cool! Thanks for clearing that up guys
I still think it's completely lame when non-Korean and non-Japanese people say it

I was totally going to say it could be another language's version of laughing, but you guys beat me to it. Kinda like how Spanish speakers (at least a couple I've spoken with over the years) type "Jajajaja"/"Jejejeje" instead of "hahahaha"/"hehehehe."

When I bite the inside of my mouth, and it leaves a big, painful canker sore. The tender part is all swollen, which puts it right in the path of my teeth, and makes it all the easier to bite AGAIN!

^ haha I was just popping in here to mention mouth injuries as a pet peeve. In particular burning the inside of your mouth! You can tell the second you bite into that hot food that you're in trouble and know it's going to be blistered and painful for days. It doesn't happen to me much any more but did a lot in my misspent youth with munchies & melted cheese.
Yeh, I did it last night, it sucks

Why shouldn't points be deducted or licenses revoked?
I'd be willing to "challenge" a driver to a competency test - I'll drive with a .10 BAC and my opponent will be sober but will be sending text messages incessantly while driving. I am pretty sure I'll win.

delivery drivers that leave cards saying your were not in when you are watching them do it, but getting your own back by waiting till they open the door and shout OI and make them bring in all the boxes anyway

How fucking difficult is it to work a cash register and do 3rd grade math !????????
Seriously, how do these hirings work? I am picturing the conversation like this:
Human Resources: Can you work a cash register?
Employee: No, not really
HR: Can you perform 3rd grade math?
Employee: Not really
HR: Great! When can you start?
I purchased $29.52 worth of items at Walmart and handed the clerk a $50 bill. He inadvertently types in $500, so the register is telling him to give me $470.48 in change.
THIS IS NOT A DIFFICULT PROBLEM TO SOLVE! THIS IS DAY ONE SHIT!!!!
Flummoxed, he calls over a supervisor. The supervisor proceeds to make the clerk feel better by showing that she too is baffled by this perplexing situation.
First she very slowly starts to count out my 48 cents in change. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, the COIN part of the change isn't going to change when you type in $500 instead of $50 !!!!!!!!!!!! It's FORTY-EIGHT CENTS!!!!!!!!!
Now she moves on to the challenging part - the paper. She looks confused and slowly starts to count on some one dollar bills.
Are you fucking serious !????????? My change is $20.48!!!!!!! Just give me a $20 bill!!! I know the change is $20.48 because I subtracted $29.52 from $50.00!! And why was I able to do that!?????
BECAUSE I LEARNED IT IN THE 3RD GRADE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cash register doesn't care what amount you type in!!!!!!!!! You can type in $100,000.00. All that matters is that the actual cash in the drawer is $29.52 greater than it was before my transaction!!!!!!! As long as that holds, the cash register doesn't know whether I gave $30.00 and got 52 cents change or gave a $100,000 and got $999,970.48 in change.
It doesn't know and it doesn't care!!!!!!!!
Don't they TEACH this to cashiers????
THIS IS DAY ONE SHIT!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!

Pet peeve addendum:
Has anyone noticed that Walmart employees tend to place your items in nearly the largest number of bags possible ?
I purchased 7 or 8 items and for some reason he placed them in THREE bags!!!!!!!
Thinking there was no need for more than two bags, and because I was distracted by the math cash register fiasco, I failed to notice the 3rd bag and came home minus a bag!!!
GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!
Also, firefox spell check is retarded. It flags "hirings" as a nonword but "firings" is acceptable. It also has flagged "nonword" as a nonword. Who makes the rules for this shit????????

^ That's Wal-Mart for ya, Fjones. Sorry dude. Call the store and see if they still have your bag. Sometimes you can get lucky.
Had the new stove delivered today. Not only did it take two hours to get it from fifty feet away to my actual house, but then they go to pull out the old one and uh oh, issue! Gas hookup from circa 1970. Can't do it. WTF! Why the other person I live with didn't mention we have old hookups (like the issue we ran into with the dryer/washer) I have no idea. URGH.

^^ Remember when you were in 3rd grade, and, unbelievable as it seems, there were people who didn't get it? A few even flunked out. Well, they're still with us, bless their hearts. Most of them are cashiers at WalMart, but occasionally one become president of the United States. I personally prefer the ones who stay behind the till scratching their vacant little heads.

Yeah what's the deal with the halftime show. Let's see, last few years we had Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, and ..... The black Eyed peas??????
Huh !????
It was partially salvaged when Slash made an unexpected appearance, but t hen it went right back to sucking big time. A Pity we couldn't hear Slash and Axl together instead of Slash and Fergie.
