Are people here annoyed by the usage of the sentence "I could care less"?
Quite so.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't mind things that don't make sense.
But then, where I come from "So don't I" means the same thing as "So do I." So there you go.

So, my mom is over here to help me with house chores since the place is a disaster. It's nice, but also making me on edge because I am a control freak mcfreak freak. Thus far, I have managed to stay in one room and not go and help (in order to make sure things are done as I like). I am trying to zen out and realize that any organization and cleaning is better than none.
ION - My neck and back are sore from pulling weeds last night. I plan to do more tonight. My yard is my gym.
IOON - I have already cleared a few work things out of my pile and that was before any coffee. Today may redeem yesterday.

Yes, ita.
This morning SUCKED. A couple times a year the car wash across the street cleans out their vacuum tanks with HUGE vacuums. Loud vaccums. At 6am. Waking up with a headache is so loverly.
We had the occasional rat when we lived near the beach in California. Our cat couldn't be arsed to care.

Ha! Yeah, there are many things that don't make any sense that I kind of love. Like America's Next Top Model still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"I could care less" means exactly what I mean it to mean. I could care less. A little bit. But I don't. I figure it's always implicit in my tone. I had no idea it pissed people off. Hmm.

Good luck with that!

Could someone please buy this for me? And make it so it goes off when my cellphone rings?
Okay now for the big adventure of working out what I'm going to wear today. God, I feel like silly putty.

Oh it doesn't actually piss me off. It is mildly annoying. I'm inured to the wrongness of it because it is used so commonly now that it has come to mean the same thing as the correct term which is "I could not care less."
