Sorry, guys and gals. I feel the need to apologize for the original "Your 30 second complaint . . ." thread being locked. Seems my agreement in a request for a member to use darker font color, wasn't well received. So, an apology to Doc for, I guess, picking on him.

Anyways, I enjoyed reading the thread, so I would like to start it over, for T-Way. To whom I also owe an apology to, for ruining the thread he started.

It can be ANYTHING that bothers you, from other people's actions, to something you do yourself that you would like to change.
No discussion on any points, just a random listing of things that bother you enough to vent here! LOL

I'll start it off with my #1 problem with other drivers.

Why the H@ll can't normal people learn how to merge?
It's really not that difficult - you start down the entrance ramp and you get up to highway speed BEFORE you get to the actual highway.
That way, you don't make other drivers have to 'make' a space for you.

'nuf said.

Oh, one more thing - keep it civil.



So let the complaints fly...

The numerous ads on here and Craigslist that list;
Item for SELL instead of SALE

Sellers who pre-package an item for sale way ahead of time,then publicly offer it for sale & refuse to open it up when you ask them politely for a measurement or specific detail about it.

Vehicles taking up two spaces in a parking lot trying to keep from getting door dings. If your car is that nice - park it out farther. Don't hog spaces others might use.

People unable to maintain their speed on the highways (speeding up and slowing down) use the cruise control numbskulls!

Television and radio show actual minutes on-air being shrunk by adding more commercials. Pretty soon will be watching all commercials with a sprinking of action, drama or comedy. Even public television has commercials now.

...I could care less if the drivel that passes for current television programming is cut down...but when you start editing classic 'Twilight Zone' episodes to squeeze in another ad for Cialis, or some brat touting how cool he is 'cos his folks have a Highlander - well, I consider that a capital offense... mad

...just askin': does a personal attack on the &%$#@ responsible for 'American Pickers' qualify as a violation of Oldgas rules? wink

30 seconds spots are cheaper now because on the economy. SO they had to add more.
The reason I got canned after 28 years :)) Thanks God !

Don't know how they do it but the fact that the TV volume comes up drastically for the commercials and back down for the program! I usually turn the thing off until I feel the commercial might be over.
