Yeah, that jab was enough to make me a little nauseous, lol.
Another peeve of mine, which doesn't happen often these days, but I seen it recently, was reading a story that was typed like this:
AJ ran up to Nick, arms stretched out.
"Nick don't go!!! Nick no!!!"
"I'm sorry AJ, but I'm a loner... and a loners gotta be alone."
AJ tried desperately to keep his friend from walking off.
He fell to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably, reaching out to his friend who was now leaving.
Nick trotted into the sunset.
AJ remained on the ground, a wreck.
