Bird **** on a freshly washed & waxed truck.

So some guy flips on his turn signal and I take that as a sign I can cross. Nope. He starts honking his horn and throwing a tirade from inside his vehicle.

I couldn't hear anything he said but I stood there just pointing at his turn signal. Not sure he got it.

He finally turned it off after going straight through another intersection a block away.

Yep.

Congrats!!!

Thanks man. It's not a big deal. Wish it was full-time and not 50 miles round trip each time but gotta do it, lol.

That I forgot about the 4 slices of pizza in my fridge. Not so appealing a week later.

Glad I am not the only one who has noticed this! So now we have to name any snow storm headed for the east coast? Just like we have to listen to everything about anything to do with their sports teams on ESPN? Lame.

I guess they got to do something for ratings. That said, I can't tune into the weather channel and see what the actual weather is going to be for my area.

Every time I turn it to TWC, all I see is a white car in the middle of a flood with a guy hanging from a helicopter rescuing a lady who didn't happen to know better than drive through a river that just suddenly appeared. And there's always an overpass in the background.

TWC has gone the same route as MTV.

Grocery store line 15 items or less with coupon mom holding up the line with coupons for all 15 items.

Over a year later, it happened at Wallyworld.

I was third in line to the cashier. I noticed the guy in front of me complaining to the lady in front of him. I start focusing on the lady at the checkout. She is in the face to the cashier regarding coupons and her cart isn't emptied, yet. She is unorganized, her coupons aren't cut out, she just hands the whole piece of paper to the cashier.

The guy and I are still talking, he's blaming the coupon lady for not caring about other people's time and I'm also blaming WallyWorld for not opening up another register.

Finally, looks like a supervisor comes over and the cashier is rapping with the supervisor. After 10 minutes, the supervisor opens up the next register. This moves me to the guy ahead of me. We were both talking to the supervisor and he said, he tells customers if they are holding up the line, but he said it's a double edged sword because they are understaffed.

I say, don't get to the point where you are understaffed. A busy Sunday and 3/4 of the registers were closed.

Moral and note to self: Never go to Wallyworld on Friday night, Saturday or Sunday.

I laughed at this.

5 o'clock shadows. They're just annoying. I want either none or a lot of facial hair. Not in the middle.

From my fingers to your eyes...

I think this applies to many days of the week. My Wallyworld never has a moment that there isn't a ton of people crammed inside.

Although my wife and I went there on Dec. 24, at about 3pm, and surprisingly, it was the emptiest I've ever seen it before.

My rant?

Those stupid security check boxes that they give you to provide your not some bot. There are times I can't read the damn letters!

I thought I was the only one that struggled mightily with these. Must mean we are part cyborg?

Some of the captcha-type things are worse than others. I'm not colorblind but half of the ones with colored numbers on a random background are unreadable to me.

Also, this has to be the worst captcha series ever. http://random.irb.hr/signup.php . I'd never be able to register for that site without lots of practice.

The more common captcha system (with 2 words) the 2nd word doesn't matter half the time, if it's kinda off-the-wall. You can type in the first word correctly and whatever you want for the 2nd and it will let you through.

PBA bowling commercials on ESPN. Not because I dislike bowling or Mariah Carey/Busta Rhymes...but because I sing that song for hours on end after hearing it.

When a user drops out of your online dynasty...and the CPU that replaces him jumps on my prize recruit (that he wasn't going after) and steals him from under my nose.

Listening to the radio somewhere and uttering the words "My god I hate this damned song" only to find yourself singing "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy" approximately 30 seconds later...
