I still wish Jimmy Carter would've successfully moved the US to the metric system.

It's so much more precise.

I didn't know he'd attempted to do that, but yeah, base 10 is so much neater than all these units we have now. But it would take a lot to implement and most people would naturally be resistant to such a drastic change. It'll probably happen some day though since according to Wikipedia, the U.S., Burma, & Liberia are the only countries that haven't officially adopted it.

Something about food I've been meaning to mention for awhile....Anyone else noticing that portions from things you buy are getting smaller?

Pack of juice for example, lets say the pack used to be 500ml(17oz I think for you americans?), now suddenly,seems like it's getting smaller to like 490ml(16.5oz?).

And some food items, if it was 250g, suddenly reduced to like 246g now or something....

Some items, it use to be a tight fit on the tray in a toaster oven,now I'm noticing I got more than enough space on the tray for it...the portions are getting smaller,but prices saying the same if not going up?

Mainly notice this with Orange Juice and Cereal now.

I've lived with it for the past 16 months and I hate it.

I do like Japanese currency, though.. really simple.

I love the metric system, it just makes sense. I'm still getting used to it though but its all good, its the better system.

Stealing that too... Just needs a "soft landings don't count" asterik.

The never ending pin wheel.

I hate load progress bars too. Especially when they don't mean anything. Like when it hits 100%, and gets stuck there. What's the point?

When people in my already undermanned department at work get fired leaving the 4 of us left to do the work of 6 and then they expect us all to work crazy hours that we can't do.

This has probably been said before, but "what team should I use for my dynasty/season/career mode?" threads drive me insane.

Fanboys of anything. Consoles, sports teams, bands, etc. It's ok to admit that something you like has flaws, it won't make you any less of a fan.

To go along with the threads that multiple people create saying I am using team X, and doing Y with them. Like there is a dedicated thread for that. These forums are already cluttered with a ton of threads around release day.
