I am eating a pickle right now to honor your horrifyingly un-American trash post. You truly have to be a soulless monster to not like pickles. I am offended that we even root for the same baseball team now.

You probably like John Lackey, too.

I never realized the Pistons thread was so old. I guess considering it's basically a private chat-room for the 2-3 people that post in there, it's surprising it's gone on so long. Also, I bet it averages a single-digit number of posts per year over it's lifetime....

Actually, from back in the day when we had a mock NFL draft every year and each team had their own "war room" thread, some of those threads (around 2004) made it out and are still going today as the team discussion thread.

The Cowboys war room and the Lions war room threads are still going strong.

People in the neighborhood that don't wave if you wave at them...practically all my neighbors. I'm talking they look me dead in the eyes...I wave...and they divert their attention and don't wave. I wave anytime a neighbor passes, even if I don't know if they're looking my way because I don't want to be rude...but seeing them looking at me when I wave and they don't wave back...wtf?

It's not like I'm trying to have a conversation with them. Honestly I don't want to have conversation with them, not because I dislike them, more just because I am typically busy or on the move to get something done and don't want to get thrown off my task. I've never been one to go out of my way to talk to someone without a specific reason for the conversation...not one for small talk or gossip really.

Try going the opposite route... instead of waving, flip them off and see what kind of reaction you get.

OK, Ms. Benes...

Now there's all this built-up animosity.

Not gonna lie, I’m always like half-watching for a wave. I’ve got one neighbor whose a surefire waver with a little “hey!” for good measure. No problems. Another neighbor i refuse to look in his direction. He’s a POS (that’s a different story) and doesn’t even get my time of day. It depends what I’m doing too. I might legitimately not even see you over there because, well, I’m not looking for you.

I’m pretty damn courteous, but I don’t always engage in the wave. One thing I make sure to wave for is if someone lets me go in an area of the neighborhood that has cars parked on the street on both sides, creating a one lane section.
