You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Going back to the dog discussion for a moment, I live out in the country, and what I should have said (and probably meant originally) was people who don't at least keep their dogs within their fences. Living out in the country, I constantly see stray and loose animals running all over the road here by my house.

So whenever I drive the road nearby, I always have to watch for animals. Every so often I'll see one or two that got ran over by someone else.

Yea that is always unfortunate. I think perhaps it should be changed to people who don't take care of their animals.. Which I see all too often.

This one has been stressed several times but it just happened to me yet again. I went to Wal-Mart specifically for laundry detergent and came out with $167.47 worth of stuff. Every time!

What really grinds my gears recently..?

When newspapers and news websites use headlines with questions marks at the end. This isn't reporting.

Is this the end of the world?

Was Katie Holmes having an affair with Trent Reznor?

Will gas prices go to $10 per gallon this year?

Many times the article's first sentence answers the headline with a no and then goes on to explain why or why people could come to this conclusion.

To me this is lazy journalism and it does is allow reporters to draw you in with smoke and mirrors.

As an example this just happens to be the new headline on Foxnews.com:


<!-- Big Top include: TEMPLATE -->

• 
  
• Could UN Treaty Put World (and Iran)
  In Charge of America's Gun Owners?

Sensational journalism. We eat it up.


Anyway...

People need to stop using Facebook as a means to advertise for all their kitchen/Tupperware/jewelry/**** nobody could care less about.


I don't care about every time a white woman goes missing. ****s old. People go missing every damn day, but good lord a white woman goes missing and we go ****ing nuts.

I just want them to report the news not raise make their own. Leave the questions to bloggers and forums.

I also support your cause but could you also put an end to my wife's freinds having parties and selling each other things we don't need (like cleaning products). They make the men leave so we don't talk sense into our wives. After paying a $470 bill I have cleaning rags that we can put into the washing machine or dryer.

Can you imagine guys pulling this crap on each other?

We do........It is called OS.

Look at the impression thread of every video game, movie or music that comes outs.

Look at the your most recent purchase thread.

Look at the Plasma, LCD, LED thread.

Safe to say, most of us end up buying stuff only because we read it on OS and thought hmmm I never heard of it, they like it, let me buy it too to try it out.

I think he means specifically selling something to our friends like if a guy were to throw a Tupperware party for his friends.

I hate it when I go in for 2 things and think I won't need a cart, then end up having to hike back to the front of the store to get one because of all the extra crap I picked up.

We don't get earn a commission on OS and we don't make recommendations to our friends based on a scripted presentation from a parent company.

Yep.. OS is the reason I re purchased GTA4 and RDR. I don't even play them, but they are there for when I get the urge.

You don't?

I've been getting paid by EA to defend and promote their games for years. Each post brings a small commission.

You don't have an easy job so I think every penny you bring in is well earned.
