You know what really grinds my gears?

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I never really heard birds until I moved to Vermont. This state is like one big wildlife place. During the summer and fall you can hear them chirping around 5am. Then around 6am you hear the bigger birds squawking up a storm. In my yard there be a mixture of birds. Finches, blue jays, cardinals, ravens, crows. Then every once in a while, like lately, woodpeckers, hawks, eagles, turkeys.

Turkeys I hate in the yard, they are very destructive and messy birds.

It's insulting to me when people tell me things that aren't true and they haven't bothered to find out the validity of their statements.

Example that happened recently

Someone talking to me: "Yeah they got shut down a few years ago due to maggots in the food"

You know how hard it is to get maggots?

It turns out it was just a cockroaches, gross still, but the fact they didn't care enough about the details and were ok spreading false information to me is just insulting.

Is Whoppers anyone's favorite candy? Is it in anyone's top 3? Why does it make up such a high % of my kids Halloween candy each year? Why is it around? Why do they keep producing it?

It's not my favorite, but I do think they are really good. Like most candy, I don't buy it because I don't have enough self control not to just keep eating it.

I'll take them off your hands.

They're 2nd behind Coffee Crisp for me. My top 3 is Coffee Crisp, Whoppers and probably MNMs 3rd. Nerds and KitKat round out top 5.

It's the same thing as Malteasers I believe which I see more of, but still don't see in stores as much as I want. Minus Walmart, I can't think I've seen either in a store. Them coming in a big bag is the best though.


My "why do they sell this" chocolate is any with coconut or strawberries in them. Those Christmas tins people give as a cheap gift always has at least 1 flavor of coconut or strawberries. Worse when its similar looking as one you want. It's like they want to punish people.

I don't know what Coffee Crisp is, but maybe that's a regional candy?

I go Twix, then Kit Kat, then Almond Joy/Mounds. If they sold the variety of Kit Kats in the US that they have in Asia/Japan, that might put it into first, but we can't get the Wasabi-White Chocolate and other awesome flavors they have there. Why, I have no idea...

Coffee Crisp is a Canadian thing. A few US border towns have them.

It's a Canadian candy, but I don't know if it's Canada exclusive.

Best way I can explain it is that it's a bigger, crunchier, coffee flavored kit kat.

That sounds amazing. I will be on the lookout for this magical, mystical candy going forward. Maybe next time I connect through YYZ I'll make a run for one.

Birds having a party in a tree/bush outside my bedroom window. Birds seem to never sleep

I have this issue with birds congregating on my wall A/C opening, which also happens to be right above my bed.

When the shipping costs almost three times as much as the product does, it's never, ever worth it:


Price: $4.99 ($0.03 / Gram) + $16.00 shipping

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Shipping cost never showed up when I viewed it. Then again, I can't order it from Amazon.com.

If there's no other items on Amazon without shipping costs, I guess you're stuck not getting it.

Thank your for this.

If people liked them so much, they wouldn’t always be the last ones in the jar/bag/spread.

My favorite candy is sour and/or fruity. Of course I love chocolate, but there’s not really a chocolate candy I’d take over a fruit candy. Can get that chocolate fix with so many other chocolate creations, hardly ever go for a bar.

My favorite candy bar is 100 Grand. Butterfingers and Twix round our the top 3 as far as common goes. I will fall for a cookies n cream Hershey bar.

Another one, when people don't communicate efficiently and get annoyed when you ask follow up questions to clarify. It's not my fault your words don't mean what you think they mean.
