Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

My headphone cord is gonna get ruined real soon. The piece near the jack is almost completely worn out/bent(so the outer part of the cord has basically been cut through cause it's been bent so much).

This is the only problem I ever have with headphones I got. Whenever they get damaged,it's all cause of that same reason. These were my fave ones I've had cause the sound is real good, it's not earbuds(which I'm never going back to again),has volume control, and I got for a great price.

Might just switch to cordless headphones cause if the cord is the only problem I ever have with my headphones, cordless is probably the way for me to go.

My noise cancelling headphones have the cord where you plug it into the headset along with into your device....that way if the cord ever breaks I can replace it rather than having to splice something or whatnot to keep the headphones.

Trying to log into a banking website to make a car payment andnot remembering your log-in credentials.

I can't retrieve my personal ID because I can't remember the answers to my security questions.

I can't reset my security questions because I can't remember my personal ID.

I was sympathetic for ya about the ID but once you got to the security questions I can't help you there.

We all have way too many passwords these days but security questions are designed to be the easiest questions to some of your own personal things. If you can't get those then you picked the wrong questions. Like you really can't remember your first pet, your first car, your dads middle name, the name of your high school, etc? I dunno man, shot yourself in the foot there.

Questions are no joke either. We have some really silly questions we offer like where was your first kiss. Just dumb.

That said, just has to call to clear them out. Annoying but fixable.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Some of the questions are dumb but from my experience don't most security questions give u like a lengthy list of questions and you then choose the ones you want? Thus you clearly pick the three that you are most likely to remember.

I dunno, I can appreciate you trying to defend this one but I still don't see it. Again, security questions are meant to be no brainer type of questions even if they are silly. Also, I clearly remember where my first kiss happened. And I'm sure most people do.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I have one account, don't remember which, where you had to not only remember the answers, but also the questions. In a random list of questions I know the answers to, how the **** am I supposed to remember the questions themselves? After a couple tries I was able to guess the questions, but **** that was ridiculous.

Ohh man ok that's ridiculous. I've never seen that. I've always seen that you pick the three or so questions and then once it's time to answer them they only ask you the ones u picked. Weird case there dude.

My latest gear grinder: People with sport bikes who drive like they're on the set of Fast and The Furious.

This morning I was driving on my way to work and out of nowhere this kid on a sports bike blows past me. Then the light up ahead turns red, he gets in the next lane over knowing that I'm gonna be pulling up next to him at the light like he wants to race me or something. When I get next to him he looks over at me, revs his engine and starts burning out. Literally burning out, smoke going everything.. people were just looking at him like wtf lol. Then when the light turns green he mashes the gas and does a wheelie for a few hundred feet.

This isn't the first time I've encountered ******* sport bike drivers either. It happens all the time. Granted I drive a Mustang GT which attracts more attention than most vehicles, but still. Yes you are fast. I know you are fast. You drive something that weighs 2 pounds and has 2 wheels, obviously you're faster than everyone else. You don't have to show it the world though.

If you can, get his license and call Highway Patrol and report him for reckless driving. Who knows if he'll get caught, but it's worth a shot. I do it pretty frequently

I do, I see it everyday.

We have some crazy questions. Not the end of the world because there are some normal one's out there but our customer's get tired of going through the weird ones and just pick one after awhile.


Easy solution for anyone, and what I tell some customers is to just answer every question with the word "yes."

No security question knows what the right or wrong answer is so it's an easy fix and it works.

Sounds like every person I know that rides a crotch rocket.

My gear grinder here is my friends complaining about people not watching out for them on their bikes. If any person that I personally know is in a wreck on their motorcycle, I would not even hesitate to say it was probably 100% their fault.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When people use "chord" when they mean "cord". It's not a musical instrument, HDMI doesn't use a chord, it's a cord (it's actually technically not a cord either, it's a cable).

Cord: Insulated wire designed to carry electricity
Chord: Three music notes sounded simultaneously
Cable: Insulated wire designed to carry electricity or electric signals

A power cord is what you use to plug an appliance into an electrical outlet, a power chord is what you play on a guitar.

Got lunch to go today and ordered a sandwich. Got home, opened the bag, and they had given me a salad instead.
