You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Don't know how many other stores do this, but Best Buy's stickers on movie cases are impossible to get off without leaving some tape residue on the cases. This is fine when it's on the shrink-wrap, but when it's on the slip cover, you either have to leave it on and make it look bad, or rip as much off as possible and make it look worse... or ditch the slip-cover entirely.

Eh yo, Best Buy... learn from this!!

You have to have a super steady, meticulously slow hand to remove them, and even then sometimes it does not work, lol. But when you do, you then use the sticker itself to slap and lift off the remaining residue.

All of these "bait and click" videos on Facebook that give a minor description and then say stuff like:

"You won't believe what happened next!"

"What happened next will leave you in tears!"

"The results will shock you!"

Drives me crazy.

^ Like those John Hancock commercials. I have to admit, they were certainly tempting to find out what happens next.

Like this one: https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7M_E/john-hancock-the-call

Great build-up. But then you go to the site, and find out there are three different scenarios that play out from there. I guess it's a life insurance commercial, so only so many things can happen... but darn it, the payoff just ain't worth it!

Clickbait rules the day any more.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Everyone complains about clickbait but keep on clicking so I can't be mad at publishers/websites for capitalizing on that. The good news is that the platforms (Facebook, mainly) are trying to limit the visibility of those things.

I don't necessary hate click bate. I hate the websites that have ads galore so you cant see what you're wanting to look at and ones who have to make it 20 pages when 2 or 3 would have sufficed.

I would not let it get to you Mike. Totally understand how putting so much passion in your work, would be insulting when these immature people try and **** on it.

Just chalk it up as more entitled babies, and block/ignore. And yes, it is getting worse and worse across the web as a whole. So many lack discipline. So many act like they are owed something.

Gotta let it go EN.....
The alternative was a bit harsh IMO.
Not my thing.
Worst part...they used a third party to do this....so on top of D'bags.....cowards.

I'm Zen about it now.
Zen.

Not going to ask who or what but can you point me in the direction of the third party so I can try and find it on my own.

Think I have a decent idea.

Ugh, one of my cousins is constantly sharing those. I'm about ready to unfollow him.

Also, PlayStation 3 controllers constantly disconnecting themselves even when charged and regardless of whether or not they're plugged in grinds my gears. Especially when they're only 3 months old.

Then the fear of turning on your computer hoping nothing was fried...

As a gentle reminder that it can happen, it fried my cable box.

So there's another grinder. Having to deal with Comcast.
