Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

The stretch of 84 that I usually drive (heading east from Orange County until the 684 exit) isn't that bad. Yeah, there are some truckers that love passing in the left-lane and don't move to quick but traffic moves decently. I just hate the 55 mph speed limit

Guys who don't wipe down benches after using that. That **** is nasty man- there are guys who sweat like Patrick Ewing and their whole neck sweat residue is still on the bench. Not only is it nasty but stuff like ringworm loves growing on moist surfaces like that. I've almost become reflexive with wiping down benches with antibacterial stuff they have in my gym before I use them.

yeah, it's kinda like going to someone's house and using their silverware... I never use it without rinsing it with boiling hot water and soap.

a store policy of not accepting out-of-state ideas. Just because I'm from NY you're saying that me, a 21 year old not only can't buy beer, but can't buy Swisher sweets or cigarettes? Do I even look like I'm younger than 18?



f***ing idiots

You look like a lighter Swizz Beats or a skinnier Peedi Crakk.

I agree, same here. Applications all over the state from Portland to Beaverton and not even a call back, frusterating is putting it lightly.

Waiting for bar exam results. Some days I am fine and confident I passed. Other days I am a total mess and completely freaking out that I failed. To make matters worse it seems most every other state has released their results, but Massachusetts is one of the last ones to do so.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

What do people do while waiting for the results? Are you working anywhere?

I graduated a semester early to take it early just in case the worst case scenario happened. I have applied for a bunch of jobs but no luck so far. That too makes no sense, I have good experience and am ranked in the top 15% of my class.

Since February I've been working on getting our house ready to flip.

Selling something on craigslist.com, having a guy call who wants to buy it only to then call back 15 minutes later to say he cant because his wife wont let him. Why in the hell do you call if you arent sure you can get it, damn frusterating to say the least.

Yea that site is pretty shady at times

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I'd be surprised if this hasn't already been mentioned in this thread, and I know it's probably just a silly habit now for about 90% of guys on the board, and I know I've been guilty of it myself at times, but seriously, WTF is up with this quoting entire posts just to comment on maybe one thing?

Guy posts some 100 lines of text, maybe a YouTube video and pic to go along with it, and then like three people will quote the ENTIRE THING only to themselves post a sentence or two, or worse, even less.

And the worst part is, it's not just a handful of people, it's pretty much the custom. Heck, half the time guys aren't even responding to what they're quoting; it's like they think they have to quote something in order to post at all.

-------------

I don't want to get into a big thing about it, because I understand there are arguments for when and why one might choose to do this. But at the same time, I think reasonable folks will know exactly what I'm talking about.

Honestly, how many times have you seen someone quote some ten-paragraph post when there's only truly "responding" to the last sentence? Here's an idea: quote the sentence you're responding to!

That is all.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Definitely agree that the quote button is used incorrectly. Also quit quoting the lengthy first post...there's no need to do that.

Awesome
