At least for mlb, you can see the action when out of your seat. They got tv's set up behind the stands, and you can see the field itself from the concourse area behind the seats. At least I know that's how it is here.

Pitching changes, replays, and mound visits too would be good idea. In a long inning, there's no doubt gonna be a mound visit or two.

when a bug disappears in the 1 second it takes to grab the swatter (or your preferred squishing device), now I know he's here somewhere lurking in the shadows, biding his time...

Trying to sell stuff on eBay and dealing with idiots like this on a constant basis.



Dude bid on it FOUR DAYS before it ended, and then when the auction ends today, and I send him an invoice I get this BS.

Ebay has always been a crap shoot for me. Got rid of a lot of my old anime DVD's due to space and streaming options and had someone send me a message every day one set was on sale. "Your price is too high, others are selling for X amount!"

There were 4-5 other sets with buy now options at the price they wanted, yet they continued to pester me.

I've never had an issue with it until now with THIS ONE ITEM.

Listed it once, someone did the BUY IT NOW option for $60 and then asked me to cancel because they thought they were buying a mans watch.

Relist it again, and this guy bids on it with 4 days left, he wins the auction, then I invoice him, and he wants to cancel since he wanted a watch for his Dad.

UGH!

Tell him despite the idea that women generally need more time to do things in the day, they get 24 hours just like we do and the watch tells the same time as it does for guys.

If he couldn't realize it's a women's watch through the description, then the 60-year-old dad may not notice it as a gift.

Tell him the listing was wrong and it's actually for a man.

Or that it's the 21st century and men can wear womens watches if they want. You're not one to judge.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Just photoshop a photo of a guy wearing this watch and upload it...or even easier, get some guy to wear it and take a photo of him.

People who take themselves too seriously. I have a coworker who turns every little thing into the biggest deal in the world(all work related things). It's really just not that serious.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Ever notice when programs that air on cable (including syndicated shows) will sometimes speed up certain parts to fit into their time slot? And I'm talking like a 10% speed increase, not much but noticeable.

That doesn't bother me too much, but it's where it does it that's bothersome. Normally it's done during something with music playing in the background (a montage, an action sequence, a credits roll, etc). I almost wouldn't mind if they speed up the whole thing because then it's consistent, but they kind of just hit the FF button then let go, then hit it again then let go. It's most obvious because the music in the background changes its tempo.

Family Guy does this one some channel, though I forget which one. TBS maybe? Anyway it's done in the opening theme song, among other places.

I just think they can do this much better.
