Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I think this one is very irrational but it still bothers me: when a commercial for the same company airs back to back. Noticed this yesterday when Geico showed the slinky on an escalator commercial only to follow it up with the Gallagher at a fruit market variation. I noticed Everest does the same thing, where the angry dude in the dark alley is talking about spending all day on the couch and being on the phone all day and 15 seconds later he's in another commercial talking about "the same old same old" in a completely different scene.
If I'm not sold on your product after the first commercial, why would I be sold after a second variation?

So you would get regular use out of it. Unless there is no way you are using a toll road, everyone that drives should have one.JS© wrote:because I use a toll road maybe twice a yearSam's Drunk Dog wrote:I'll do this if no one is in the cash lane, the EZPass lanes are all to the left and my exit is on the right soon after going through the toll both.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
LOL, not exactly. Going off of the long trips I drove this year, I had one trip to Ohio for Warrior Dash. Now that I think of it, I think the return trip was the only part that required toll roads since I took a different route to Ohio since I was driving from Washington. Even my trips where I drive home every month or so, it's 376 to 22 with no tolls.Idoit40fans wrote:So you would get regular use out of it.

If I'm thinking regular use, I'm thinking monthly or at least every other month.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
people having like 500 friends ruins facebook. i feel like it used to be that they just showed you everything from everybody - and chronologically. but then people had too much junk to wade through because they're friends with everyone they ever met, so FB built in their artificial intelligence to choose what's important to you. that was the point where i started hating facebook.Shyster wrote:Why the **** can’t Facebook be set to remember that I want my feed to be sorted by Most Recent, not Most Popular?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
These people who get involved in selling crap Amway style. Woman next door is involved in at least 3 separate MLM scams[\s] companies and sees it as a job. She gets annoyed when we don't buy anything. I might buy stuff i don't need that my neighbors' kids are selling as fundraisers to help out organizations they are involved with, but I'm not going to buy stuff I don't need that my neighbor is selling just because I'm her neighbor.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I got a new car a couple months ago. It has a digital bar gas gauge and also a screen showing how many miles until empty. Well every time the screen hits 70 miles until empty, there are still 2 or 3 bars on the gauge, yet the little gas pump light comes on. Drives me insane because Im not even close to needing gas yet I have to drive around staring at that thing the whole time. And even tho I have plenty of gas, I know it, it still makes me nervous in the back of my mind that im going to run out at any second.

The miles til empty thing in general is something I don't like. It's never right.

Hot pepper rings in salad bars. You have to pick at them individually or else you'll wind up with a bunch of inedible end-pieces.

perhaps, you could invent some sort of hot pepper ring sieve that would cast out the abomination end pieces to leave just the bounty of acceptable and delicious rings?Eismann wrote:Hot pepper rings in salad bars.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I think mine kicks in at 50 miles, but from the time it's down to 10 miles I might have put on 20-25 miles. That's what I mean about it being off.DudeMan2766 wrote:Yeah I dont take it as gospel, but when its 70 til empty and a have a few bars on the gauge, Im sure I'm good for a while.JS© wrote:The miles til empty thing in general is something I don't like.

That's not including when I fill up and it's listed as 400 mi but I'm only seeing 350-360 mi per tank. I'm sure that has more to do with my heavy foot than anything

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
We should start jarring hot peppers without the ends. Unbelieavable that this is an acceptable practice for companies to include the stem pieces.canaan wrote:perhaps, you could invent some sort of hot pepper ring sieve that would cast out the abomination end pieces to leave just the bounty of acceptable and delicious rings?Eismann wrote:Hot pepper rings in salad bars.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
This is ridiculous. I work for a title company and we pretty much do the entire home loan process for a ton of lenders and banks throughout the country. I mainly deal in the appraisal portion and deal directly with the contacts for these lenders. Well yesterday I'm getting hit with a lot of orders for disaster inspections or reinspections for homes that they are in the process of lending on - homes in states like NY and VA/DC. Okay fine, but it shouldnt take too much sense to realize many of these places are without power and not the easiest to get around right now.
Today my email is getting beat up with these same people who ordered these inspections complaining because its pushing back closing dates and causing a delay in the process. Ummm... A: YOU ORDERED THE DAMN THING and B: MAYBE YOU SHOULD EMAIL YOUR COMPLAINTS TO THE FREAKIN HURRICANE.
Not irrational, but I didnt want to go in JTOR and follow up the awesome Watermelon/Pumpkin Krang pic with work stuff.
