Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three

People who use more than one piece of gym equipment at a time. I work out in a relatively small gym. It has almost anything you would need, but only one of each machine.

So when jerkoff keeps his weights on the bench press, his towel on some machine, while he's over using the free weights, the rest of us are stuck wondering who is using the equipment while trying to workout.

Having to swipe my credit card more than once at the gas pump because it won't let me go over $75 really grinds my gears. :mad:

Cookies made with Splenda. Someone offered me a cookie today and after I took a bite, they told me it was made with Splenda. I promptly threw the rest of it away...

Dumb cashiers. How hard is it to take an anti-theft device off of a video game? I nearly cut my finger off prying the thing open.

You'd be surprised at how many people get ****y over the 3 seconds it takes to remove the device :rolleyes:

Dumb cashiers.

*nods in agreement*

Couldn't be too hard, judging from your offhanded smarmy questioning of the difficulty of the action.

Huh, so what you're saying is cashiers aren't the only dumb individuals in this story.

She was flat out rude, didn't give me back my driver's license until I asked TWICE, and then proceeded to berate me because the stupid Credit/Debit thing stopped working. She was being too rude to remember to take it off apparently. :p

I'm 20 minutes from the store with no vehicle of my own, so it was either break the thing open myself or wait a week when my friend can bring me back.

Rimmy, I believe they were asking how hard it is to remove when they have the device to remove them at the counter. Removing them by hand is quite the chore, which is the point of them being there, obviously.

Let's see if I can say this as sarcastically as possible:

Really?!?!?!?!?!

Snapfish is GRINDING MY GEARS!! I can't access my acct. Password won't work. The little 'send me a new one' window won't work. Can't access help without my password. Can't email for help without my password. Can't start a new acct because only one per email address. NOt too pizzzed! By the time the customer service phone service is open I can't call. This is the only window of time I had to upload. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!:mad:

You know what fries my ham? A 19% voter turnout. I don't know if that's just the Madison area or Wisconsin.

I guess the other 81% are happy with what's going on.
 
Re: Grinding Away..Things that grind your gears, part three

A friend of my dad's treated us to lunch today at Logan's, and the waitress brought me the wrong dish twice, saying I ordered salmon when I ordered chicken. Not only that, she brought me the chicken salad when I wanted the mesquite chicken with broccoli and a side salad. Never going back there...

Don't worry, I'm already prepared for the backlash, so I'll just go ahead and say it: New York, and pretty much anybody from New York that they put on the news when covering a story.

So you had a severe storm that ripped up some trees and caused some damage, and also killed a few people? Look, I'm sorry for the loss of life, but how is this the lead story on every major news outlet? It was a thunderstorm.

That's not so bad, but I've been at work for 5 minutes and walked in our kitchen just as Good Morning America was starting. They lead with the storm, of course, and right away these things happen:

1. Robyn Roberts (I think that's her name, the one that used to be on ESPN) compares the storm to Hurricane Katrina. :mad:
2. They interview a lady from the city, and she claims she thought it "was the end of the world." :rolleyes:
3. Another lady was already calling for the government to come in and help. :mad: :rolleyes:

That's where I have to draw the line. Comparing a thunderstorm to Katrina? Calling it the end of the world? Its so bad that you need the government to help? Apparantly if you want a lesson in hyperbole, just have a conversation with someone from New York.

I'm sorry, but you people are not nearly as tough as you like to claim.

I hate New York and everything about it.
