    Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

    People at OS that have no intention of buying XBOX 1 or NBA Live 14, however are continually posting in those threads. I understand they are "discussion" boards, but how many times can an individual say they suck, point out what they think are inefficiencies and say they are not going to buy the game or system? Getting information here, is getting more difficult by the day. Just look at those two threads and you will see the same "white coloured named" users posting the same thing, over and over again.

    I love a good discussion and when there are varying differences, I tend to learn stuff from some users...but in recent months I'm just learning who likes what systems and what games. I like to refer to what they do as "controlled trolling".
    I am the lesson after the fall.

      Yeah, those boards get annoying sometimes. I've decided to hold off on either, but it was tough going in each of those when I was on the fence. The MS vs. Sony hate posts get old. People make it seem like Kinect is going to strangle their kids or something.

        A state highway by my house has no turn on red at every exit. Sucks hard, hate having to sit 2-3 minutes for the light to change.

          Polls that can't be answered properly cause of the wording of the question/answers.

          EX of a question: Do you like ___ or do you like ___?

          Then the choices for that poll would be:
          Yes
          No

            Absolutely, because if I say red, than the majority of people I say it to are going to know exactly what I mean.

                  Getting into a fender bender. We were both backing out at the same time. Just a little scuffing, nothing major, but it still grinds my OCD gears.

                    The NBA 2K thread right now, so damn frustrating, thinking about staying away from it, but I won't.

                        Is that because it's so short?

                        I've got one by my house that I deal with every time I come home pretty much. Takes 3 minutes for the light to change, and then it's green for only 15 seconds. I've been on the off-ramp there for 15 minutes before waiting for that light. Not fun.

                            Omg... The day I came home from the hospital, I had hiccups 5 times within several hours. Didn't know but it was a side effect of anesthesia. Gone now but quite the gear grinder a week ago...

                              For future reference, it seems as though posting about it on OS makes them go away. I made that post, and boom, haven't had them since.
