Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Speaking of that....you can really tell who's from a city based on how they say the name of it. New Orleans is one example, Boston is another one I believe you can tell. For me, Toronto is one I find funny at times. A regular person from Toronto pronounces it something like "Tor-ron-o" or similar to that. A person not from their emphasizes the second T in it like crazy and makes it sound like "Tor-ronT-T-O"

"Minny" makes me cringe. Talk about nails on a chalkboard, haha.

Another one, like your Toronto example. I notice it mainly on TV, but when people say "Wis-KAHN-sin". Super hard emphasis on the c.

When people throw whole plates of food in their kitchen sink drain. Unless you have a garbage disposal unit in your sink, don't do it because guess to who's tub and kitchen sink that crap goes to.

When you say "Alright, one more match and then I REALLY need to go to bed", and then they tie it in the 90th minute to salvage a draw...

I don't know why that's coming up in your tub. We've had backup from the unit upstairs once, but it was just some sink-to-sink action. Horrible enough.

My girl throws dishes on the sink with huge chunks of food or bunched up napkins and other assorted non-food items (we don't have a garbage disposal). She doesn't rinse them off either so when it's dish time, that **** takes extra long because its all drycaked on there.

Hey, I do the dishes, trash, and laundry. She does the vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, and dusting. I can't be too upset.

The "called shot" if you will. "Felix has a chance at a perfect game tonight against the Astros." "Strasburg is gonna K 20 Phillies." "Rangers are gonna sweep the A's"

Come on. There's a line between confidence and silliness. This is baseball Suzyn.

One thing similar I've learned over the years is that if I'm playing a game and trying to get it completed within a certain timeframe, the game almost always goes to overtime/extra innings. EX-If a game usually takes 40 minutes for me, I have 50 minutes to get it done by before I got to do other stuff, that will just happen to be the one game which would end up taking an hour or so.

Which is why we need in-game saves! This should be necessary in all games, even if limited to quarter/period marks.

There's lots of things sports games need to do before adding something like that,but ya, that is something maybe they do re-add one day.

This is a small gear grinder but the fact a keyboard doesn't have a cent sign.

People still use cent signs?

When I signal to change lane, and look around to make sure it's ok and start doing so...then the car behind me changes lane and passes me without even caring.

Non HD channels(and on the real rare occasion,the HD channels) that show a show or movie you want to watch, in letterbox format.



Something like that for example. Yes I could just use the zoom function to zoom in, but the quality gets distorted.
