What really grinds my gears!!!

CA back fee’s. Around these parts when you don’t pay your registration it keeps getting added to the vehicles bill every year with penalties. (Example) if a f-350 is totaled by the insurance company and sits in a auction yard for 3 years the state figures it’s only fair that I pay them $2100 in back registration since I now own the truck…. Don’t get me wrong my local DMV is awesome but the state side drives me nuts sometimes.

I don't "radio" for the past 2 decades.

USB stick with selected playlist does the trick!

California is terrible.

 

[Ryan Browne]

California is ENORMOUS

Fixed it for you.

There are parts of California that are unbelievably beautiful and more rural and remote than anywhere in Wisconsin. And there are parts that are huge populous cities. And everywhere in between. Just can't sum up that much area with generalizations real easily.

Guilty as charged! I tried leaving it on one station a few times in recent years .
I've driven half way across the big city (in rush hr traffic) and not heard one single #@%* song, due to all of the commercials.

Television? 4~5 minute segments and then anther 7 commercials.
I usually run the dvr and catch 3~4 hours of things and then play it back with a finger on the remote.
Commercials loaded with chitty songs from 40 years ago that I was eFing tired of hearing back then.
Now the advertisers goof up the lyrics and the networks replay them (about 3 times) every 6 mins.

What's TV?

I abandoned TV & Satelite TV 2 decades ago!

 

[Ketchup]

What grinds my gears?

Advertising
Politics
Bad algorithms
Absolutism
Hypocracy
Lack of self awareness
Greed
Waste
Designed obsolescence
People that don’t take their shopping cart back.


But it’s best not to dwell on it and offer second chances.

 

[legdelimber]

I'll tell my small secret about shopping carts in the parking lot.
No guaranties, but I have decent enough results with it.
I usually have better luck at finding a decent rolling buggy in the parking lot.
A lot of people will leave a bad one at the store front and try finding a better rolling one.
The better rolling ones seem to be more likely to end up in left the parking lot (not always though).

But then I also the see the cellphone-glued-to-hand types rolling the ones with a nearly square wheel, so just beware that trap.

Holiday/Sunday/or just a "ME day", I get a second coffee or a Cappuccino (I usually only drink one morning coffee with milk) and sit outside enjoying some piece and quiet, cuddle with the pup.

BAM!!!
Someone walks through the yard gate starts babbling and won't shut TF up.

It would seem I still know way too many people!

 

[Nate.]

Why?

 

[Seachaser]

People that tailgate on the highway.
Folks that get into a pi$$ing match in various forums.
Threads that ramble all over the place.
I have a few more, but it might hurt some feelings.

 

[nbbt]

Businesses that spam the sh it out of ya.

Don't cut me off trying to hurry to pull out onto the road and then do 5mph under the speed limit. You in a hurry or not??
