1. “It’s the bane of my existence.” No, it’s not. Plus, define the word “bane .”
2. “That’s the story of my life.” That’s a pretty sad statement no matter what you are describing.
3. “Oh my god, I love [insert innocuous noun here].” This speaks for itself. Love is a little too strong to use with regard to a halter top.
4. “That’s so random.” This phrase has be-
come as misused as the word “irony,” which has never really recovered since “Jagged Little Pill.”
5. “I have ADD.” Cry me a river. No one wants to sit through a three-hour math class.

too funny!
and while you’re defining ‘bane,’ properly apostroph-ize ‘its’
Thanks, “jerk.” It’s now properly “apostroph-ize”d. Sorry we couldn’t correct it in the print edition. Hey, interested in being a proofreader for The Water Tower? :)
