You-said/they-said winterizing discussions.

(The forum needs a separate express lane for winterizing questions!)

1. NBA'ers who glare at the fans after they make a slam-dunk.
2. NFL'ers who do a goon dance in the end zone after a touchdown or making a sack.
3. Any professional athlete who appears to not have the word "humility" in his vocabulary. ("Yeah, I overcame adversity all year." "I went out and made plays." "I just went out and showcased my talent." etc. etc. ad nauseum)
4. Rosie O'Donnell in any context.
5. The nightly news, which is really an entertainment magazine with sports and weather included.
6. Telephone services which sell me caller ID and "star 69" at extra cost, then provide the bloodsuckers the ability to negate these, also at extra cost.
7. CEO's who believe that anything which is not specifically prohibited by law is acceptable, no matter how onerous.
8. Marketing people who believe the same thing.
9. Legal and Finance people who believe the same thing.

Old fogies who still think it's 1974, and have landau/soft tops installed on modern cars, which look completely out of place.

Saw this at the grocery store over the weekend;

Doesn't look as terrible as some of the other cars I've seen it on. Picture a new Lexus with this on it..... :eek:

1. Extremely loud motorcycles going through residential neighborhoods, hospital zones, or city streets lined with apartment buldings at 12:30AM. (or any other time of day or night)
2. Lazy b_st_rds who can't put their shopping carts into the racks provided and instead leave them all over the parking lot.
3. The guys who want to date my daughters but refuse the lie-detector test. (Or have side effects from the sodium pentathol.)
4. Cellulite.
5. Traffic lights set up as "speed brakes", causing us to sit and wait in front of empty intersections.

Some will say the same about your ride when you are that age. Let them be.

Re: What Are You Sick of Seeing?

My short list:

Entitlement

Not starting at the beginning

Welfare abuse

Fraud

Politicians who ignore fundamental common sense

Politicians in general

Banks

Liars

Paying way more than we should in taxes, only to watch it be, given away and wasted

Health Care

Car Insurance

Selfish people/drivers

Automation that cost twice as much as before

1.) 26.2 and 13.1 stickers on almost every car in rush hour traffic.. Really, when did everyone become a runner or is this just the latest fad? I'm guessing the latter here because I've seen some of the drivers and I'd guess that they can barely walk.

2.) Dump trucks with uncovered loads and construction equipment being hauled down the highway while dropping gravel and crap on everyone's cars. In the last 5 years I have had 3 insurance claims due to damage to my vehicles. In rush hour traffic there is absolutely no way to avoid it.

3.) Excessively loud Harley type motorcycles - really, does it need to be that loud to make 70hp?!

4.) Parents who buy gocarts, 4 wheelers, dirtbikes, scooters, and other gas powered toys for their kids to do laps in the neighborhood.

I called the cops on one these once. Cruising down the highway and it looked like a sand storm. And trash trucks! I mean is it really acceptable to lose like 2% of your load on the trip to the dump? Sheesh.

Jerks across the street from me, their kid rides a dirt bike around the yard for hours on end. This is in a development with .3 acre lots. Come on people, move out in the country if you want to do that kind of stuff.

1) Any car in front of me on the freeway.
2) Any car in front of me on the freeway going the speed limit, or less.
3) Any car in front of me on the freeway with its driver on the cell phone.

Re: What Are You Sick of Seeing?

We actually have one guy in the neighborhood with a big loud Harley who likes to ride it around the neighborhood doing laps while his 5-6 year old grandson follows on a 2stroke dirt bike all decked out in a helmet and SHORTS.:facepalm:

In our neighbor hood it was the adults doing that carp,,, along with their kids :mad: One of the kids lost control and ran a dirt bike into my truck. The dad didn't like it too much when I took him up on his offer to pay for the damages. EH, if you don't want to pay for dented vehicles, then don't ride gas powered toys around city streets, strewn with nice shiny vehicles.... :rolleyes:

Grey's Anatomy. My wife watches that show and it drives me crazy. Dancing with the Stars is another one but I can appreciate the athletic prowess of Hope Solo.

Completely baseless advertising claims. "We've got the lowest prices" (no you don't, not even sorta), "best ______" (no it's not) etc etc. Saw a billboard for our local donut chain this morning saying they have "world famous coffee." Really?

People who rush to judgement instead of getting the facts ... what happened to "innocent until proven guilty?"

Re: What Are You Sick of Seeing?

people who ask for help or advice before they even try to figure out the problem.

people that are habitually late for everything. It just shows that they think they are more important than the event or the people that they are going to see.
