Things that really piss you off
-
This is weird, but, the last time I let myself get pissed: I dont remember the situation that caused my slip, but it was about my wife:I was in my kitchen on a saturday,and my wife was out in her car running errands. Some situation about her made me furious, I slammed a pan on the counter and dented the crap out of it, and I kid you not: less than 2 minutes later, my phone rang, she had just been in a wreck. everyone was OK, but...powerful.

wow hank, thats scary.
what pisses me off: (its quite a list)
the hillary/obama/McCain thing going on in the US right now. the first two are beating eachother up and not focusing on vital issues in the debates, and McCain doent even know how to work a computer!the whole "hybrids are good for everything" thing. do your realize that the car makers only use that for selling cars? the hybrids are really inefficient: first they have to use heavy machinery (spewing CO2) to mine the lithium for the batteries, then its shipped on a CO2 spewing tanker over to china where its manufactured (using power derived from burning fossil fules) into batteries, then shipped by tanker again to the car manufacturing plant (using more power) and then finnaly trucked to the dealer on the CO2 emmiting machine that is the truck.
is that enough to make you stop driving your prius? plus, when those cars get thrown away, the battery decomposes over hundreds of years, all the while letting toxins seep into the ground water.
sorry if that was a little bit too heated. but there is way more where that came from.

what the!!! We are paying 1.60AU today and think that's bad....
-
I think the oil companies that have doubled the price of fuel in the last year should be paying for the conflict in Iraq. They should pay incentives to the soldiers wives, spouses, and they should pay the whatever billions it costs per day to maintain the presence over there. Diesel is $4.40/ gallon USD today.

ha, 1.20 GBP per litre is the going rate in britain.
Or for the imperialist: $8.83 per gallon.

The double thumbs down, the lowest rating in remus' joke rating scale

finaly!!!! someone's with me on this! now lets go sue toyota for falsity in advertizing.
i do, however think that the whole CFL bulb thing is a good idea.
another thing that pisses me off: (and i know solo has alreay said this) President Bush
and i really wish everyone would stop compltely freaking out about global warming! i mean jeez! worrying about it is only going to make it worse! why dont we all just calm down and accept that this might be a natrual fluctuation in the earth's tempature. and if thats not the case, take a chill pill and hop on your bike and get some CFLs for gods sake!
another thing that really pisses me off is mr. smarty-pants President Bush's "no child left behind" act. i could poke so many holes in that thing that when im done it would look like swiss cheese. to keep this post short, ill continue this in another post and leave it at this: the No Child Left Behind act is leaving our children behind.

oh... you said things. oh well. -
The 'have your say' bit of the bbc news wensite (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/talking_point/default.stm)
Its not the idea it jsut the collection of small mided people hwo dont seem to be able to think of anything to say beyond 'gordon clown', puppet government and 'what a load of bull'
-
well, im pretty pissed that this thread died. it's a great way to vent pent up hate. but apparently, every one here took a chill pill and is no longer pissed at anything. wich i guess is a good thing.

lol. I get REALLY pissed off by Vista's "you need permission to do this" pop-ups. What they add to safety, is a complete mistery to me. The boys at Microsoft HQ must've thought: "You know what? Let's add a couple of random hoops for our customers to jump through."
Another annoyance: people who don't turn the volume of their mp3 players down in buses. I really do not want to hear sugary r 'n b in the morning (I never do, for that matter). The same goes for cheap techno. Yuck.
Which brings me to the most dreaded of species: teenagers. Oh, how I hate them. Pull those pants up! Lift your feet! Learn proper Dutch!
-
Dont get me strated on the vista pop ups thing, Ive never had one pop up for anything that was actually harmful, and even if one did i doubt id recognise it because im so used to pressing "allow" now.
And the worst tihng aobut it: it pops up twice fi i try and create a folder in a program folder. Twice! whats the point, am i going to change my mind in the 5 seconds between them?

I really hate it that a lot of the latest BMW owners think they are gods.
That pissed me off even tonight when A BMW cut me off while driving into a parking lot (I had to hit the brakes hard).
Some minutes later,When I parked my Volkswagen Polo (actually my girlfriends car) in a parking space which the same shiny BMW in front of me seemed to have overlooked, he drove backwards, jumped out of the car and called me 'gestampten boer', which means something like 'red neck farmboy'. I kept silent but kept the space.
Still angry about the 'attitude' though.Another thing I experience daily is that (some) BMW drivers (or Range Rover or any other freaking snob car) can't stand it when they are overtaken by smaller cars and they put the foot on the gas when you pass them. Fuckers!
By the way, I drive a BMW myself....except it's an old not so shiny one (a 1995 318tds compact. Crappy but it serves the goal )
Now, that felt good
, thanks. -
Ha, reminds me of one of Dave Ramsey's tag lines at the beginning of each of his shows...
"Where the paid off home mortgage replaces the BMW as the status symbol of choice."

I really hate SCF deprivation

I think it was Remus who touched on the subject of teenagers a while back. My favorite "things that piss me off" pertain to that catagory, even though I have 4 of them in my house right now
Mine are not permited to do any of these of course.The underwear showing with pants way too big and hanging to the mid upper thigh - I only want to see exposed underwear on Victoria's Secret models......
The complete lack of manners / etiquite (sp?) in public situations. I don't care to listen to their loud cell phone conversations with their best friend about whatever trivial thing happened to the friend at the mall earlier today - and what social consequences it might have on society.
The complete lack of please / thank you / excuse me in their vocabularies.
I could go on forever.................but I won't.

When waiting in line at fast food place, and when the person in front of you reaches the register THEN decides to look at the menu to decide what they want.
or
While waiting in the check-out line, the person at the cashier is overly social, even after they've paid.

- WIndows photo gallery- specifically "sorry, you cant edit this photo because its the wrong format" its a PNG for gods sake, its hardly an outlandish proprietary format from a company working in a cave. Id guess its probably the second most widely used format and yet they dont think its neccesary to support it (unlike every other piece of software under the sun.)
2)exams: its getting to the stage where we dont learn for the sake of learning and self betterment, we learn to pass exams. Seems like its the wrong way to do things really.
