You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I pregame as much as a I can before games unless its the "Lemonade! Lemonade! Just like what Grandma made" guy in Phoenix because I love that guy and will buy whatever he's selling. Also kettle corn, i can't pass it without getting a huge bag.

Also on the way to Dback games, there's this amazing mexican spot called Carolinas before you get to the park and you're allowed to bring in outside food in.

That guy is probably the only vendor on the planet I would buy anything from at a sporting event.

Those Gatorade Commercials.

They were cool the first 2 times but now they're damn annoying since they've replayed the same ones like 200 times.

When a video game box art or with the case with Steam, their cover picture look nothing like the actual in game visuals. I be browsing Steam, see a picture and think oh wow that game look like it will be fun. Click on the game and watch their trailer

It be such a let down.

The ever increasing price of stadium concessions.

Honestly, it feels just like when you're going to the movies and you pay ridiculous prices at the concessions for soda, popcorn, candy, etc, right before you go into the theater.

AT&T x 2

1. They are taking forever porting my number over to Google Fi. Get off your *** AT&T.

2. Because of the port, I checked my account online and there was a notice that my new Uverse order installation appointment was Tuesday at 2pm. Problem is, I didn't order new service and had no idea there was an install date. I have no problem with the install, it's gigapower for the same as I am paying now. 100% fine with them installing gigapower for no cost, but it would have been nice to know. Also, there was a not on the order that it was a 3 year agreement, and they are out of their minds if they think I am going to lock into a 3 year agreement with Google fiber gearing up for service here. I have no problem if they want to install, but that 3 year agreement is a deal breaker, especially with them looking to enforce data caps (you get unlimited data with TV service as well, but part of getting gigabit internet is switching off the old TV bill and getting Vue or some such).

Yep ATT is the worst, I'm dreading trying to get one of the unlimited data internet plans once my current deal expires, it's gonna be a battle

The ever increasing price of stadium concessions.

That's why I'm cheap and eat fast food before the game.

This. As long as it keeps ticket prices as low as humanly possible, I avoid this very easily by eating before or after the game. Thirsty? I either bring an unopened water bottle, find a fountain, or ask a friend who's getting me food to get me a cup of water.

That doesn't mean this doesn't grind my gears still. Any time I'm with somebody who gets food, I play "Let's guess how much it cost!" with myself, and throw out an absurd number that I'm normally within a dollar of being correct on.

When you go over someone's house and they have Hunt's ketchup instead of Heinz. Animals.

It's important to set the ground rules before marriage I discovered.

First week my wife went grocery shopping after we were married, she bought the store brand stuff.

I told her from now on, it's either Heinz or else. There hasn't been another brand brought into the house other than Heinz since.

Some things you can skimp on, but ketchup is not one of them.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Once again it looks like I'm getting screwed on ebay. Sold something for over $200 and its been almost 2 days and no payment. I sent the guy a couple messages and had no response.

I had a feeling this guy was shady to begin with. He has a feedback score of 4 and has been a member for about 3 weeks.

He kept bidding throughout the auction. Every time someone would bid he would outbid them literally up to the last second.

I don't understand why someone would do this and not intend to pay. It doesn't make any sense to me at all.

In the messages I've sent I've been very polite and just simply asked if he intended to pay and when he could pay and even asked if he needed some time so I don't have to open a case, and no response.

So frustrating.

I think you're a little impatient. Yes, it is courteous to usually pay quickly, but I've seen people waiting 3 and 4 days even for small dollar items. I don't get it sometimes because they bid within the last hour of the auction, so they're aware. But they pay. All it does is delay them receiving what they bought. I don't know what eBay's standard wait time is, but I know it's longer than 2 days before you can file a case for the buyer not paying. And if others were bidding, you should be able to second chance it to someone who is still interested.
