Double negatives hurt my ears

Ear piercing may not hurt your head but people who use double negatives hurt mine. I once heard someone use the phrase "I aint not done nothing". That's a triple negative. It completely blew my mind.

The use of double negatives is right up there with the things that are sure to make me want to commit murder. Other things that make me want to stab people are those who don't know the difference between "your" and "you're", "its" and "it's", "there", "their" and "they're". Hearing a Justin Bieber song also makes me want to stab someone - preferably Justin Bieber.
