Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Golfers who don't take 15 seconds to repair their ball mark on the green. It seems like I fix about 10-15 in addition to mine in a typical round. And those are just the ones I notice near my ball or in my putting line.

Sound about as old as one!

I do agree besides the social networking and texting ones. As long as its not extreme, these new technologies are awesome. Unfortunately, you see more of the addicted than those who use them as a complement to their lives.

Yeah, I'm 45, married, five (mostly grown) kids. I freely admit to being old school about some things.

I usually don't vent about stuff but it felt great to come in here and open the can.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Oh, a thread where I can vent my 'bitch list'? Awesome!



--Asking my kids to do something, they say "Okay, I'll do it in a few minutes" and it never gets done.

I do this but it isn't necessarily on purpose. When I'm asked I'm 90% of the time playing a videogame or watching a long video so when I'm asked I say I'd do it after finishing my thing but then, because it took me a while to finish it, I tend to forget. Now I'm trying to do what I'm asked at the moment because I know that if I delay it I'll forget.

When TV shows aren't properly labeled as new/repeats and it fools the series recording settings on my DVR.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

When dudes act like the levels of difficulty they use on games define them.

Just to take this one a step further, when people act like being good at a video game somehow makes them the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And then they proceed to badmouth everybody else for not being as good.

Seriously, just STFU and play the game. It's not that serious.

Yup, and unless you are a Pro Gamer, that get's paid to play video games they have no right to talk.

A lot of people can get in top 10 world leaderboards, or get ridiculously powerful characters, gear, upgrades if they do nothing but spend all day playing the same Game.

Yes some people might be more naturally quick re-flexed at hitting keyboard, controller button combinations but the main reason they have such an advantage over other players is time spent playing the game. No reason to put somebody else down because you spend more time on a game.

When my CD player in my car doesn't work. Of course, I just made two new CD's. Usually it gives me trouble but after a few tries obliges. No such luck the last 2 days.

When you sit at a red traffic light ready to turn left. The car on the opposite side of the road sits at the light with no signal on. The light turns green and I wait assuming the car on the other side is going straight. I sit there, and sit there and sit there and then they turn their left signal on.

People who use the exact same arguments against current technology and music that every generation has used when it comes to something new.

I ****ing hate when you wake up when you're in the middle of a dream, and then you're just exhausted to start the day.

My point exactly.
