Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

College games are getting worse and worse for the fan (when you are not part of the student section) now that pretty much every game is on some national channel. TV timeouts really ruin the football experience in stadium.

Side note: You may think you have the same drinking habits as people from Wisconsin. They will crush you.

I drank with Sconnie fans. They were formidable adversaries.

I hope you make it out alive if you bring it to their home turf.

I went to all the games while in college and loved it, but now I love watching on tv....Football just needs all the instant replays and close up camera angles...

Watching from the nosebleed seats my freshman year sucked.

Having multiple guys on your fantasy team go on the DL, but not having enough DL slots for everyone(and can't drop your guy cause he's too good to be dropped/will get picked up by someone else)

AT&T "Customer Care"

They hung up on me in a chat four times (I wasn't being rude at all).

When I finally got a supervisor to call me, he put me on hold. I waited 20 minutes before hanging up.

Watching baseball live is the worst punishment you can put on a person. You must be talking about playoff games or something.

Attending a regular season baseball game in person is definitely a different experience than any other sport. Being there with a small group of friends, watching a regular season game that is otherwise meaningless, baseball doesn't impose or force itself on you. Win or lose, you can just enjoy the sport for what it is, & have a great atmosphere for conversation with said friends, to boot. I'd rather meet up with friends at a ballpark than, say a coffeeshop, any day.

Guys who talk obsessively about their fantasy teams...

That's one of the things I miss big time leaving Phoenix. Grab cheap tickets, get good *** Mexican food on the way (Carolinas in Phoenix, best tortillas ever) and head to the park.

My immediate family members. I'm ******* furious right now! I gave my Wife and I's hard-earned money to help them PAY BILLS only to completely **** over us by gambling it all away. Then they want to play the "woe is me, life isn't fair" card. **** that, you did this to yourself!

This has been been going on for years and I think I have hit my tipping point. They obviously don't give a **** about us putting out thousands to continuously help them, taking food out of my son's mouth.

It's my fault for enabling them somewhat, but I don't want to see them homeless, but **** it man. They had the same opportunities in life that I have. It's just so hard "letting go" though.

Sorry for the rant guys, but I just can't take it anymore. You're supposed to feel good being in a position to help someone out that is in need, but this is a ******* drain on my life, man.

Oversensitive automatic flushing toilets. Currently on the can at my school's library and it's gone off three times already, scaring the crap out of me (pun intended) each time. I'M STILL HERE, TOILET!!

Scoob, you gotta make the tough decision to cut them off. Like you said, it's taking food out of your child's mouth. They're stealing from you man.

You don't need a lecture, and I'm not the one to give it to you anyway. You already know you have a role in this... time to let someone else play the fool.

The thing is you're not in a position to help them because you don't have the tools to help them with what I assuming here is an addiction. You're not paying money to your family members, you're paying money to a disease. If they aren't willing to get help for what they are doing to their family, then maybe it's time for you to seek counseling to help YOU deal with the tough decisions that you might have to make.

Crappy hot dog buns grind my gears. The kind where you have to remove damn near half of it because it's hard, and when you do put the dog in it, the bottom breaks right down the middle.
