    My first cat used to sneak into my cupboard and sleep in there. I had no idea until one day I got home from work and was making supper. I reached into the cupboard to grab a plate and felt something big and furry instead.

    I (~must of~) must have sounded like a 10 year old school girl. Nearly ended up being an unscheduled laundry day.

    Edited to keep the grammar police happy.

      Must have*

      “Must of” isn’t a thing, and you should understand that without someone pointing it out. Same as “could/should/would of” isn’t correct. Learn basic grammar.

        You’re being unnecessarily rude, and you should understand that without someone pointing it out. Learn basic manners.

        Yeah. You’re a bit direct but I do need a person like you to point things up for something I did wrong unintentionally.

        However I wonder if any native speaker don’t realize there’s something wrong with these sentences. Even a non-native like me can see that. Maybe it’s intentionally done; they know it’s not correct but they just want to keep up with the wrong trend.

    That cat knows what it’s doing is bad. What a little shithead.

      They definitely know. My dog waits until I’m not around to get into the things she’s not supposed to have.

        Same with my cats and jumping on the counter. They won’t do it while I’m in the kitchen but as soon as I leave the room it’s a free-for-all.
