    I hate when people say "For all intensive purposes" instead of "For all intents and purposes". I'm expecting him to say "pacifically" next...

    It's to be expected, it was about cars. And you should have rugby-tackled your father before he let Herr Grossadmiral von Tirpitz go.

    People who suck their drink in the cinema through the straw while the drink is still sitting in the armrest cup holder.

    Was at Bridge of Spies last night and the woman beside me kept doing it throughout the whole film. Really irritated me. For a moment I thought maybe she had no arms or something but no, these worked perfectly. I know this is as she had no problem using them to check her Facebook timeline a half a dozen or so times throughout the film.

    Even so, it was still the head bowing straw sucking that bothered me more. I felt like grabbing the back of neck and shoving it down into her Sprite with extra ice and screaming: "Have you had enough!? You want some more!? Too heavy to lift is it!" but I thought I meant get thrown out and so I said nothing. Maybe next time.

    Dad's ok :)

    Regarding the car, I seem to recall a serious of events involving leaking radiators that required a top up of water before each journey and other such TA stuff, culminating in a spectacular death which involved the entire thing lighting up like a Christmas tree and then dying... just outside the driveway. Another 3 seconds would have at least got it home and dry but no, after half a million miles it decided to die on the road, outside, just as I started to turn it into the drive.

    Bollocks. For the want of a bit of rubber host and/or a Jubilee clip. I hate that. :(

    People on boards who are serial thread starters. The TV, Films and Online TV forums are the worst at this. They will start a thread and then never contribute to it again. There might be a small bit of a thanks whoring post, but you can be assured it will be nothing of any note.

    What really annoys me is the number in the title of this annoying thread: 8191.1

    Even as an arbitrary number, it's very weak. No creativity at all.
    Very poor effort. I mean, why even bother.

    :confused:

    My TA is with pedestrians who don't look for a safe place to cross or run in front of traffic when visibility is poor (wet / dark).

    Even if we are to let you cross the road as you wish (which is extremely dangerous), we can't see possible cyclists on our inside that could still hit you...

    Cables. Cables are goddamn annoying. Whether it be for charging, your headphones, anything. They get tangled, they get caught at inopportune and embarrassing moments, are either not long enough or too damn long, and are just annoying.

    Why haven't we gone fully wireless for everything?!

    Also. Updates that require you to restart your computer.

    No. Don't keep popping up asking me to restart now or to remind later and damn you for having no option that says, "how about you leave me the f*ck alone until I'm ready to restart? I'm doing sh*t!", instead of me selecting a random time and then selecting another random time when the previous one is up and so on and so forth.

    I had someone elses car today and it was beyond annoying. I want a key and a handbrake not a fob thingy and a button. I dont trust those button handbrakes at all and the brakes were so sensitive that I was lucky I didnt go through the windscreen(plus it probably looked like I couldnt fecking drive).

    BTW I wanted to comment on Nachos post but I didnt want to lower the tone on here today so Im biting my tongue.(was it definitely a straw:D)

    So we have Thanksgiving Thursday ... Black Friday ... Small Business Saturday ...Cyber Monday ... and now Giving Tuesday? Stop labelling the dates! :mad:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Easier to buy new ones. You'll probably get them all sorted and then a bulb will be gone and you'll need check every single one! :D
