Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Trying to read through the Madden Next Gen information and having to sift through the constant ripping of the game and the developers and continuously seeing any positive being quickly shot down.

I'll never understand one's reason to constantly post negative opinions about a game they seemingly have no interest in playing and shooting down anyone's positive thought or optimistic outlook.

Surely one has better things to do with their life.

Kids aren't in school in King County (WA)

The school zone by my house is photo enforced, and they are enforcing the 20 mph speed limit.

WT# ???!!!!

Either it's just stupidity and no one deciding to point out that it's unnecessary, or it's to really drive home for people to be extra safe in that area at all times because kids could potentially be there outside of normal school hours. A lot of people drive stupid and wreckless in general, especially in areas they deem as being more empty/remote.

I feel like it's done simply because they know if it's only a slow speed during school hours, people will get so use to fast speeds that they'll forget its school hours and naturally go the old speed.

Although I've always been in favour of the "X speed when flashing" speed limits. They only flash during school hours. That should be mandatory in all school zones which are also frequently used non residential roads during non school hours too.

Although what's worse is how they're slowly adopting a 30km (20mph) speed limit on many residential streets. Dont get me wrong, so many people are ridiculous with their speeds in these areas (I've seen people driving AT LEAST double the speed as what I just mentioned above), but those slower speeds are so slow. Really just feels like a cruising speed when you're looking for a specific house and cant find it.

With or without a pandemic, people need to learn boundaries.

When checking out today, there were 2 customers infront me. The person ahead of me has their shopping cart rubbing against the jacket of the customer ahead of them. Not only is that not keeping your distance, you're basically ramming your cart into someone. And by time they got to the front of the line, they just walked several feet past the sign that says "line up behind this line" so that they're basically standing at a specific cashier while waiting.

And then the person behind me is doing almost the same thing to me. To make matters worse, there's 2 people there. The one that's pushing the shopping cart, and the person they're shopping with, the latter of which is standing BESIDE me.

Like I said, even without a pandemic, how do these people not learn boundaries. Part of me wanted to just start leaning backwards and "accidentally on purpose" causing their cart to go backwards. Or clear my throat while staring at the person standing beside me, just to see what would happen.

This is my normal Aldi's shopping experience.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

There's an Aldi .9 miles from my house and I'll skip right past it to go somewhere else most of the time. There's always a line of people that spills into the aisle so people form lines that go multiple directions. I don't have real anxiety, but that kind of thing still bothers me. Then on top of that there's a 1 cashier to 5 customer ratio waiting to checkout all the time and you can always see about 4 people standing near the office or outside just watching this one cashier do everything.

It's a first world problem but I just don't like the shopping experience. 15 minutes to buy a gallon of milk doesn't work for me.

The heat in my apartment. It's an old building with steam heat with the output controlled by a boilder in the basement with residents being able to open/close the radiator valves as needed. Well, even with the radiator valves closed it's still putting out way to much heat. It's 45 degree outside and I have multiple windows open (not much though as I live in a first floor unit on a busy street and there's to much soot) and its still about 80 degrees in my apartment.

I can't be the only one searching for a seinfeld GIF of george telling jerry "the steam has been on this thing for 10 years, no human can turn this off!"

Those nights where you just cant fall asleep, either for no reason at all, or because you have something troubling on your mind.

The "wait" until morning feels like an eternity.

The frickin' OneDrive, man.

My computer always wants to default saves to it, and then when I disable it my files aren't anywhere to be found anymore. It causes more headache than it helps. I just want it to be out of the way with everything unless I actively choose to use it.

This would be fine, only now I don't know what's OneDrive exclusive and what is on my computers.
