        As a child I actually used orange juice to eat cereal before when we were out of milk. It was pretty damn good actually.

          That, and similarly with milk/juice too. But it's hard at times to get the exact amount. You take as much as you want, but then the amount you leave is too little for a full amount next time. You basically have to drink a cup and a half instead of just a cup in order to avoid leaving too little. For some people, it's just easier leaving that small amount and opening a new one next time to get the amount you want.

            So my eBay issues are over finally. I was an idiot and didn't open an item case, but instead did a cancellation request. Which cost me 4 days because I didn't know an upi case took only 4 days and a cancellation took 7.

            The guy who bought my item never responded or agreed to close the case so finally on the 8th day I was able to close it.

            Now I cannot leave negative feedback or report him.

            Finally got the item listed again, changed some buyer requirements and listed in the description that you must contact me before you bid if your feedback score is under 10. So hopefully this time it will sell and I'll get paid.

              Changing wiper blades. It has to be the simplest maintenance you can perform, and I've done it quite a few times. But every time I completely forget how. And the little manual that comes with the new blades always makes it much more complicated than it is.

              Then after a couple of minutes I realize what I'm supposed to do (then I ask myself how I could I not see that?), and it's done within 10 seconds. But those manuals...I feel like a monkey trying to read...

                  I agree, no matter what topic it seems the media just take 1/8 the story and run with it. That has spread to common people as well.

                    ^In relation to that, certain news stations in general, it seems like majority of their "news reporting" is just strongly worded individual opinion pieces on the topic, rather than reporting the news itself.

                    For example, lets say there's a news article saying "Is Operation Sports the best site ever?", instead of those people giving proper insight and facts regarding reasons to support that topic and talk about why that topic is being discussed in the first place, they'll just start giving opinions on why they agree or disagree with the topic. You won't ever really know why the topic came up in the first place, but you'll know what "John Smith" in New York who works for that networks affiliate thinks about that topic.

                      What really grinds my gears is having big brother look over my shoulder 24/7. Let me express myself and stop bothering me.

                          How small and close the Options button is to the Touchpad on PS4 controllers. That's just terrible design.

                          The Touchpad in general seems like a giant waste. I haven't played too many PS4 games but it's been pretty much useless in all of them.

                          Bluetooth. How has it been around this long and still suck so much?

                            Can't stand earbuds, the only practical application they have is popping them in before walking around in public and keeping people from bothering you

                              Rocket League is the only game that has utilized it effectively in game. They use it as a chat feature...really wish other multi-player games would implement it.

                              It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                                I was inspired because I was looking in to Bluetooth earbuds and they're ALL of the jam in your ear variety or like, sports fitness so extra strapped up.

                                Only ones like the Apple earbuds that come with iPhones that I could find are the new AirPods but they're $160...
