Here we go. Exactly what I'm talking about. Annoying as hell!

Over the past month, a dozen or so of my friends have become Alabama softball fans and don't you dare question them.. they have been fans for a long time.

As much as those door to door sales people annoy me, I get what they're doing and if I had a business that suited it, I'd do the same. For every ten houses that shut them out, there's probably one that does give them their business and business is business.

Annoying yes but at the root of it, it's also understandable.

There are better ways to gain business than to waste time knocking on doors.

Cable Companies.

We're moving to our new place on June 21st. So to prepare, I'd like to get internet set up so I can work from home that week. So I go to Comcast, put in my new address and was prompted that there was an active account and I could chat with a Rep to work something out. So I talk to Sarkah with the worst english possible, and for 30 minutes he's telling me "THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING COMCAST!"

He tells me he can get me a "deal" of 80 channels and 25mbps for $89.

I tell him that there is a better deal on their front page for 140 channels and 50bmps for $79.

He then tells me "Sorry, but since there is an active subscription, I can't tell you the best deal we can offer"

Then why the hell did you put me in this chat?

People who cut across a big parking lot. There's literally the actual lanes 20 feet away, but these *******s always do it. Wait until you t-bone someone you didn't see coming from behind the lines of parked cars. Hope you're wearing your seatbelt.

People who go brain dead at a stop sign. If you don't go when it's your turn, you're beat. Waited for this guy today, he was twiddling his thumbs, so I made my turn. Of course now he wants to go and honks and gets on my ***. Eat brakes, fool! You suck so I went in front of you... deal with it.

That doesn't mean knocking on doors doesn't work at all.

Some idiot people on my street who have monthly parties. Not so much in the winter,but spring/summer time is when it usually happens. Nothing wrong with parties, but they have it late at night and play extremely loud music. They're several houses away from me,yet I can hear/feel the vibrating noise of the bass on their loud music.

Don't get how/why police don't ever bother about this,it's flat out neighborhood disturbance,especially late at night,why not do something?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Go there and be like yo can you guys chill out a little? If they keep doing it, they deserve the cops being called on them.

We had some parties back in the day, neighbors were always cool. Music wasn't ever up loud, it was mostly the people going to and from cars being loud & disrespectful.

Because we had people over often, I was always respectable when going other places. Do on to others as you would like done to you.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

If u happen to be the one hosting those parties, first line of protection is to invite ur neighbors to the parties.

When I first moved into my house and I introduced myself to one of my neighbors he said something like "yeah we occasionally have some parties and might be loud all night but ur more than welcome to join us" and I responded that I'm gonna likely do the same and he's invited to our stuff too. Doesn't work with every neighbor of course but it's a solid first step .

Going to Subway, getting my order made, and then finding out they're out of cookies. Out of cookies! That's half the reason I went there!

So while I ate half of my footlong sub, I could feel my taste buds preparing themselves for the sweet, sweet taste of soft, white macadamia nut cookies to follow, only to be fed some extremely underwhelming harvest cheddar Sun Chips. These were the words I said to my taste buds afterwards:

Went to McDonald's today... ordered a plain McChicken, fries, and a McDouble with no pickles.

McChicken was fine, fries were fine, McDouble was not. It was literally 1 patty, 2 buns, and one ****ing pickle placed right in the middle. No cheese, no ketchup, no mustard, no onions. Just that one patty and that one pickle.

From you I would've expected "At least it wasn't mayonaise". At least pickles can easily be taken off.

A pickle can be removed (as long as you remember to double check before biting), but nothing can remove pickle residue

That's something I always don't understand. How come whenever any food place ever messes up an order, it just happens to always be LESS they give someone? If you order a burger and they mess up,it's cause they gave you less ingredients or something. If you order a pizza and they mess up,it's cause they gave you less toppings(or SMALLER sized pizza). If you order a drink and they mess up,it's cause they gave you the smaller drink.

If a food place ever messes up, why can't they give you more!?!

Though that's the worst thing to tell someone in a situation if they give you something wrong on your food(the whole "just pick it out" line). It's happened to me before too. I ordered something,they put the wrong stuff on it, and were just like "Can't you just pick it off".....No! If I wanted what you gave me, I would've ordered it. Instead, you want me to pick off abunch of stuff from the food, ruin half of it,and still end up with less than I ordered,while paying the same price?
