You know what really grinds my gears?

I only answer the door if I'm expecting somebody or have people coming over. Other than that - NOPE.

I open the door and decline whatever it is. Only reason I open is so that they are aware someone is home so if there are casing the neighborhood they know someone is inside.

I can defend myself so I'm not worried about it happening when I'm home but when I go to work and wife is here that worries me

Really? Wow...

We haven't gotten any unexpected visitors at the house, but I would get a couple every month or so when I lived at the townhouse complex by myself.

I see it as the exact opposite lol. If you don't answer the door, maybe it'll get these sales people to stop. If you go to the same house over and over and over again and nobody ever answers, won't you eventually just stop going?

If someone answers, then that'd mean they know someone is home and they can go there more often.

The door to door salesmen of actual big companies is one thing, but it's more annoying when you have people going door to door for various other reasons,especially when it's more than 1 person at the door trying to get something.

I see your point. But still feel answering the door and telling them I'm not interested and to leave, if it is a scam and they are casing neighborhood they know not to come to my house.

But like I said I see your side if it's just the dumb solicitors

Speaking of people coming door-to-door, there's fake gas people coming around here. They try and get your information and I guess they pretty much scope your place out.

The guy that came to my door was trying to offer us a lower rate percentage on our energy bill compared to the company we already have. Wasn't hearing any of it.

Falling asleep on Netflix and waking up 4 episodes later.


Figuring out what episode you were on, where you were in that episodes, all while ducking spoilers.

I live in a bad neighborhood and had a few weird instances with people knocking on my door so I never open it.

I had to set the "idle shutoff" timer on the PS3 so it wouldn't jump too far ahead when I fall asleep watching shows. Still I wish there was a way to turn autoplay off on Netflix, seems pretty ridiculous to me it's not an option.

On the PS4 at least, it auto plays for about 3 hours straight. After that it pauses and asks are you still watching Netflix ? If you don't press anything, it automatically closes Netflix.

Having OCD about computer settings...

"ok, so all those options are checked?"

"good"

"oops, better check them two more times to make sure"

I think you can turn that off in the PS4 settings.

Determining when to go shovel snow. When it's still snowing I'm always undecided on if I should just go now, wait 30 mins, or just wait for it to completely stop. No matter what the weather reports say, the amount it snows is always diff.

I wanna go shovel at times,but not if by time I finish, there's just as much as before. But I also don't want to wait until it gets too late/dark.

I always do it before it piles up too deep.

Driving on a freeway in your new car and gravel/pebbles from trucks ahead of you or from the side of the road fly at you, doing God-knows-what to your paint and windshield.
