    Really? I don't like such inside jokes not for the benefit of the character but for the reader playing with an assumed cliche.

    The joke doesn't necessarily rely on knowledge of the cliche. It could work in another situation with any other low-level worker, it just wouldn't have as much impact.

    Probably already been mentioned, but people holding stories for ransom? Possibly the worst. Although most of the time, the kind of people that do this write dreadful stories anyway...

    I'm glad your intellect can pick up on the fact that Harry has no parents, and that I was talking about his friends.

    As if that makes the idea of bitch slapping people when they 'smother' you any less stupid.

    Well, if someone was being really irritating and smothering that isn't my parent, and is more a friend, I tend to slap them, and tell them to stop being annoying.

    The only time you should a slap a person is when they're hysterical, being a bitch or need waking up.

    Guise, guise. Quiet with the whole slapping thing. It was an example. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I find the fact that you would say someone reeks of piss disgraceful. You odd guy.

    Someone being disrespectful on the Internet is definitely odd.

    Fixed.

    On topic. Was trying to get back in to Prince of a Dark Kingdom and realized that there were way too many words and introductions of characters for me to get into. I think thanks to it I have developed another pet peeve, or least elevated a past annoyance.
