      You are literally grinding my gears



      Also I was just joking about the cat thing. Not sure why I have worn gears laying around though.

Had 1 main item in mind, another is an add-on that I'd actually use(5* from almost 1000 people on Amazon, all for just $5...It's worth it), but both their totals add up to abut $2 short of the free shipping requirement. So basically I'm getting an add-on to the add-on lol.

              Took me more than twice as long actually finding a $2 add on gift that could serve a purpose than it did to find the main item I was getting.
              How much was the shipping on the single item?

                Going to a sporting event and having people constantly getting up and going to the concession stand. It was just a constant stream of people that made it hard to actually watch the game. And some people went 8-9 times during the game.

                  Or people who are drunk as a skunk at the game. I'm like why pay that money for tickets only to get plastered and have no idea what's going on?

                  I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                  I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                    I think around $7-10. So the amount I'd spend on the single item + shipping ends up being >= the amount I spent to get free shipping.

                      Being drunk at games is necessary for when you get in fights.

                        Those people are the worst. They spend half their time not even in their seats and get up so much. Doubt any building will ever be built this way, but imagine enough legroom where you don't need to get up if people are walking past you.

                        Hockey I like it where people can't return to their seats until the play is over. I know other sports do it too, but hockey lasts longer between whistles than baseball does between batters. Annoying regardless though. I hate the getting up, especially when having food on me, more than the person blocking my view for several seconds.

                          It's good that when you're entering your seats again, stadiums try as hard as possible for you not to interfere with the action by standing in the tunnel until the at-bat is finished. Doesn't much work for seats that are far away from there though, as you'd be jumping in mid-AB.

                          Sadly enough, ballparks won't care because they know you're getting up to purchase something off them (unless you're only using the restroom), so they'll encourage it. They like that fan more than they like you, haha.

                            I like how the NHL does it (at least for the games I've been to). I don't know if that would work as well for other sports.

                              MLB, do it between half innings instead of each at bat?
                              NBA, do it during free throws and timeouts?

                                MLB, I'd say half-innings, pitching changes and mound visits. Even then, you would have some long half innings without any breaks where a lot of people would be waiting to get back to their seats.
