That when Windows Update requires a reboot that your computer will reboot when you're not around an lose anything you hadn't saved.

That I forget to save as much as I should.

It would not take long for one of them to get shouldered if I had to keep going around them.

Thought this exact thought yesterday while driving through Newport. Age 20 should be the cutoff.

My wife and I were at a coffee shop today sitting outside when a guy in at least his mid 30s skated by. I have nothing against him or skateboarding. It just struck me as juvenile and odd to see a man that age skating around. Irrational peeves are irrational...

Does this apply to inline skating? My feet are messed up from endurance running while being fat so now I skate. I do it on public roads as well as running/bike paths. I don't do it downtown, though. Thoughts?

Tattoos can look really really sexy on a girl. They can also be disgusting. Its a case by case thing (though sleeves are always terrible).

Android apps that don't flip 180°. Seriously, you just add a line or two in manifest.xml, its not that hard.

At least they're not as bad as the NFL app which literally forces you to view it in landscape mode regardless of orientation. What idiot at the production meeting suggested that?

I don't mind one or two, but anything more than that usually looks bad....and yes, sleeves are always terrible.

From my experience, you stop noticing all of the tattoos after pretty short period of time.
