You know what really grinds my gears?

Pretty much. When the goal was to get her to 5 grand for a vacation I was all for it. No person should go through what she did for 15 grand a year. When it rose to 200 grand I was for it, help this lady retire.

But now its just getting insane. There are way better things to donate that kind of money to. Just being honest.

True, but I'd be willing to bet that she donates a lot of that somewhere else. If she was living off of $15k, I'm sure she knows she doesn't need all of that.

What people choose to do with their money is their business. Regardless of there being other causes that could us the money. It is still good to see people helping someone in need.

I don't see the point in being upset with people doing some good.

Is that what you got from what I said?

Yup, that's what I took from it.

But what good are they doing? If old momma was in need I could understand but she was bullied. Doing something nice is great, giving her a lottery cash out? Now if we found out she needed a heart transplant, then go for it.

But lets not pretend/assume this lady needs the donation she is getting. Trust I dont get upset about people doing good. That was an asinine statement that oddly enough was contradicted in the same line you bolded.

I'll drop it here.

If people want to give away money like that that's cool for them, but they also shouldn't turn around and bitch about what other people* do with their money.

*corporations included.

When you seem to get caught at every single red light, especially when you're running late. There is one road in my town which all the lights like sync up so if you are going east and catch the first light red, you will also catch the next 3 after it red. It makes it so dang annoying.

When you work midnights and you have to sleep during the day and they decide to start building a new deck on the neighbors house.

I mean really can't they put silencers on saws and nail guns.

ESPN. I am really tired of their favoritism towards certain franchises in the different sports.How many times do they show the Yankees as one of the teams in their weekly games.
I'm also tired of the incessant talk about LeBron and the mediocrity known as the NBA.
Sportscenter is a joke anymore. It's almost like it is a pathetic attempt at stand up comedy.
I know the NHL may not be as popular as the other big 3 but the lack of coverage for the league is ridiculous. I think they are still bitter that the league didn't accept their low ball TV contract.
And the use of social media is getting out of hand on that channel. The use of twitter is dumb. I don't care what a regular Joe tweets about his favorite team. Just like I don't care what the athletes are tweeting. If I cared, I would follow their tweets.
It's gotten to the point that I only watch a show or two on there.

Thank you for your time.

People who for whatever reason can't play a video game the way it is intended, or cheat, hack, or are simply just annoying with it.

Tried to play WaW a few days ago for old times sake, but every game was hacked so bad it was unplayable. Seriously? What fun can one possibly have in hacking a 4 year old game so that they can fly around the map and go 50-0 by cheating? Just doesn't seem fun to me but whatever.

Then just a few hours ago me and my friends were playing some Minecraft on the 360. After an hour or so of playing we all decided to take a little break and get something to eat, stretch our fingers, and meet back in 15 minutes. So we did, but my friend who was host accidentally left the world running, and by the time we got back 3 people who we did not know joined, stole all of our diamond, iron, and gold, burned a few of our creations, and basically ruined our fun. Seriously though? like what kind of fun can somebody possibly get from doing something like that, I mean I just don't see how somebody can get joy out of messing up somebody else's game.

Don't watch ESPN anymore. Watch league-specific channels.

But everyone in America wants to see the Yankees play every week. I don't care about the Reds when the Yankees/Red Sox are playing!

While even I get annoyed at all of te ESPN games the Sox have (I'd rather listen to the comedy routine of Don and Remy during the game on NESN) they're a TV Network, they care about ratings and a Sox/Yankee game will draw more ratings than a Reds/Cubs game.

I get it's annoying but they're a business out to make money. Hard to hate them for that, especially when there are plenty of other reasons to hate them.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Right now, Redbox.

I received an email stating that I was being charged $60.00 for a video game rental, that I returned weeks ago. I have the email to prove that I returned it. They refunded me $20.00 to my account, but they need to "investigate" and make sure that the game is in the box, before they will refund the full amount of the game.

My account is registered to my Region's banking account, which I only use for my bills. I had only a few dollars in there at the time and the transaction blew my account up. I didn't know about it, because the charge has been there for a week, and they shut my Region's account down. Luckily, my check goes to my main account at the credit union/bank that the rest of my transactions go through, so I won't have a problem receiving my paycheck, but what if that game was rented out again or taken out by the redbox owner ? I better get my ****ing $40 back.

I've been using Redbox for a long time and never had any issues, so I'm trying to be patient and nice about it, but what further proof do they need, other than the email receipt showing I returned it and I haven't rented anything since then. ****ing lame..
