Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
It's a HUGE problem in Canada as well.
They show replays of events, and tell you the result of it at the bottom! Or when it goes to commercial break, they go to the studios where the person tells you how it ends.
EX-Lets say I was watching a replay of game 7 of NBA finals. During a commercial break, they'd go to the channels studios and the person would be like "We hope you're enjoying the replay of the Miami Heats NBA championship winning game".......I was until you mentioned who won!
I'm hating the olympics coming up for that reason(since it's in Russia,so the events would be at a time I won't be able to see it,so I'll have to tune in to the replay), cause I KNOW they'll spoil who won during the replay. During 2010 olympics, I watched back some events during the replay, and even though I already knew who won, I still hated when they went to commercial breaks and the person would flat out tell people who won.
Thankfully,this time around I got DVR so I can record the olympic events and not settle for getting it spoiled due to the replays.Comment

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
I was on the bus this morning on my way to school, and this lady comes on the bus with her baby (I would put the age anywhere from 14-24 months). She is carrying the kid with one of those "backpack" baby carriers. Well, this moron promptly sits down so the kid is practically a backrest getting crushed between the seat and this woman's back. Idiot.
I didn't know what to do, and I probably should have said something. I just kept my eye on the kid the rest of the trip. She seemed fine though. Freaking grinds my gears, though.Comment

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?
I had one of those for my daughter and one time she was in it, her right leg turned blue! Ever since then I never use it. I've seen some parents with their kids in it looking like they're being suffocated.
Was the lady actually sitting back like using the baby as a support?Comment
