And, for the love of God (and the last time): People are not "laying" beside each other, they're "lying" (however, in the past, they very much "lay" beside each other and not "laid"), and they don't "lie" things down, they "lay" (or in the past "laid") them down. Really, shouldn't "get laid" be the best clue? Literally, you find someone to lay you on a bed/the floor/against the wall (though that's stretching it, I know). If "lay" was a something you did, as in "sprawl on a bed" or something, then "get laid" would make no sense at all. It shouldn't make me as happy as it does every time I see the correct form.

Haha. YES!

It bugs me so much. I'm not even a native speaker and I know the difference.
