I'm in Florida, there's not too many "little" girls down here.

Re: Pet Peeves?
In an apartment, isn't a floor usually someone else's ceiling?

As an act of atonement, half an hour of self flagellation using 10 strands of rusty barbed wire, followed by wearing sackcloth and ashes, may help to ease your conscience for what you did. Just a suggestion.

You really should become a concierge for the USA forums. Advice like that is hard to come by in this day and age ...

Re: Pet Peeves?
Our car.
Big pile of wanky, shitting, crap. Saab, FOAD.
The alternator must be going...because that battery is only 2 years old and it's knobbed out big time once a couple days ago and needed a jump this morning and almost failed to start a few hours later.
It's an Interstate battery too, I thought those weren't supposed to be shit...but apparently it's one size too small for our car, still cost $115 but apparently we need a $150 battery.....WTF?
Car batteries are taking the piss in this country....my old Mazda made do with what I thought was a pricey 30squid battery back in the day

I believe they were actually the cheapest option compared to other places, and as it was I was already a few mm away from a ticket so I had to take it.

Re: Pet Peeves?
People complaining about things being different or more expensive here, than when they were in the UK.
Erm, newsflash, people - you're not in the UK anymore. Live with it.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Actually, it makes some sense if all the wiring/piping is put in the walls. Now that I think about it, I've stayed in places that seemed to do that, probably easier to access and repair.

Easier to access cables in a wall rather than in an attic space? Tell that to the electrician when he has to run a new cable.

How many attics do tall blocks of apartments have?
