post title "item for sale"  WHY the heck can't you post "XBOX360 for sale"?
post title "clawfoot tub part needed"  but no description or picture of the part the poster broke......
post title "kid car bed"  ...is the poster looking for or selling???  In this case they were Looking For...but I wouldn't know that from the post title!
 
 
GGGGRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrIND!...
 
 
Aight, feeling better now....but that doesn't mean I won't post on the local BB about their dumbass posts.   I definitely shouldn't, probably won't..... recently did and definitely shouldn't of~~~.....
 
 
the locals generally don't have such a good sense of humor about and aren't forgiving of DPSYs.  Hell, They complain about the noise of fighter jets on their training runs through the valley!  And that also grinds my gears.....
 
 
but that's for a whole other re-wine......
 
Carry On!
 
 
I hate when I post something for sale on craigslist and people send me wish emails. They wish they had some money but they don't so they wanna talk about instead. I had one guy inquire about an item and he sounded like a serious buyer. We exchanged like 20 emails and I answered all his questions. Then he tells me if I can hold the item for a week because he is trying to sell something to a potential buyer and then he can buy. Oh I see, thanks for wasting my F**king time JERK. Man I've been burned so many times on craigslist its not even funny. I can write a book by now.
 
I hate when I am driving on a basic road here, not a hiway, but one with two opposite lanes of travel with a shared turning lane in the center, and people refuse to use the turn lane.  They pull right up to where they want to turn, and then stop halfway in the turn lane and halfway in the travel lane, before making their turn.  Damn people,  that is what the damn lane is for!  Use it!
 
^Yeah, I hate that too.
 
Even worse is when driving through the city, stopping at a red light in the left lane, and the car in front of you waits until the light turns green to use their left turn signal. I would have got in the right lane had I known you were turning A-hole! Then they're usually too busy texting to turn when they have a chance, and you end up sitting there until the light turns red again, and you watch them drive away while you wait for the next green light. I kinda just want to nudge up against their back bumper and push them out into the oncoming traffic.

Your head would explode down here in South Florida. It grinds my gears as well, since what we have here is affectionately referred to as a "Miami Left", wherein a driver, from the far left-hand lane, cuts across everyone in order to make a right turn, or vice versa, at an intersection. Oh, and for whatever reason, a lot of people on Broward and Dade counties seemed to miss the memo that turn signals exist... They'll change lanes, turn, etc., and then get pissed off at you when you honk at them to use their turn signals.
And I remember one time, I had just gotten my license updated with my new address locally here, and got off at my exit. The man I merged in front of (who was at least 3-4 car lengths behind when I merged, got so pissed off at me, he tailed me for a good mile, even getting out of his car right into my window to scream at me, and was a massive traffic disruption. He even tried to run me off the road a couple times, all because I got in front of him on the road. People like that (the ones that thing they're road royalty) grind my gears too

In the 90s when i lived in the east bay a lot (north richmond, alemeda, oakland). I used to keep D batteries in my center console. In Four years I detonated at least three windshields. I purposefully rammed two cars of the road. Threw a truck headlight at a mercedes, and put a hole threw a semi's radiator and prolly engine block with a salmon weight. There is a twenty mile radius around the Mac Maze that is hell on earth. Around that same time I was wanted on warrants for driving, in three of the bay counties. :rofl:  I guess I was pretty angry those days. Not sure why I used to charge assholes heavy fines with street justice. Guess I just wanted to show them, there is always a bigger asshole out there.
Best i live more in the sticks and stay out of the city. I'm allergic to dumbshit drivers :rofl:

Hogleg, you are my new hero! I too am allergic to dumbshit drivers.
 
You know what really grinds my gears?
 
Drivers and/or passengers who flick lit cigarettes out the window.
 
Then, they wonder where those big burn spots in the median came from....or worse.

When your topic gets moved because a bunch of focktards annoyed The Boss, then I go looking for the topic where the topic was but now ain't. Then I'm all like :doh: it got closed then I look here and I'm all like :dance: :woohoo: :dance:

Still grinds my gears though.

It still amazes me how many people don't use the "View New Content" button. That is all I ever click on. It shows all of the most recent activity in the forums you choose. yeah, edit the content you want shown like, you can un-check the welcome forum so when some yay-hoo goes and posts "hi" in 50 welcome threads, that's not all of what shows up.
 
Take it from me, I slept at a Best Western last night. And now my gears are all sharpened up and shit. ready for more grinding.
 
Here's how to customize the content you want. After you do this just use the "View New Content" button all the time. Then it won't matter if stuff gets moved, it will still show up.

Really?  That is all I ever use too, unless I want to look for something in a certain forum.  Then I hit the forum button.

My buddy rode a bike all through college - one day on his way to school some asshat in a Porche convertible flicked a lot cigarette out the window and it bounced off my friend's helmet - he was pissed.

He went back, picked up the burning cig, rode up to the light where the Porche was stopped, yelled, "hey man, I think you dropped something" & tossed the lit cogarette onto his passenger seat.

I support that action fully - society should have zero tolerance for litter, especially cigarette butts - and especially in a dry area with drought conditions in July.

Grinds my gears too.

Holy sheeit - I'm getting tech schooled by Scovie?

That would grind my gears if I weren't so embarrassed. Maybe next he'll teach me how to program my TV remote control & get my VCR to stop blinking 12:00
:rofl:
