Re: Pet Peeves?
What is nickelback?
I thought all men would like teabaggers.
Usually I like self-check registers, but whenever I self-check something at Walmart, it inevitably rings up the item twice. Then, you have to trot over to customer service (an oxymoron if ever I heard one), wait on line a good 30 minutes, and, finally, get a refund on the extra items you didn't purchase.

Just went to take a look at how my sunroom's windows were cleaned today. Immediately I noticed that a cruddy little bird has pooped over one of the windows. He couldn't do this yesterday, the little bugger had to fly over my house today.

Re: Pet Peeves?
That's bullshit. The self serve checkouts here have a check out chick helping a) numpties who don't know what a bar code looks like and b) to immediate reverse any errors whether man or machine made. Oh and c) to make sure toerags don't shove stuff in their bags without scanning or scan a cheaper version 'by mistake'.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Cross over TV shows...such as the recent Hawaii 5-0 and NCIS LA...they're shit, especially when you don't watch the other show and don't realise they're a cross over because you DVR everything and don't watch the adverts and so don't record the second show.
Great stuff.
They're also generally just plain shit.

I'm no expert on cars, but it's usually these types of Civics:

I call them Bromobiles as most people who drive them are quite primitive and refer to one another as "bro" or "dawg" and cannot grasp basic English, never mind that red means stop, not speed up and almost cause a fatal accident.
No Dire Straits I'm afraid, more like Flo Rida or Rihanna for the chavette types here in MA who drive those things, wearing hoop earrings. I swear, it feels like Essex here sometimes.

The best modded jobbies involve a lowered pick up with massive rims though
