smalls2598 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jan 28, 2009 -> 03:22 PM) I hate the refuse payment system they use in the western burbs. The use of garbage stickers in the western suburbs for paying for waste removal. The idea that every single bag of garbage or leaves needs have a 2.75 sticker on it is a joke. Tell me about it. And what's even worse is when they STILL won't take the garbage that has the sticker. Last summer, i was getting rid of the sand from our pool filter, so i put it in a garbage can and slapped a sticker on it, and they never took it the can. Did the same thing the next week, still didn't take it. I understand it's heavy, but it does not state a weight limitation on the sticker.

BigSqwert Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I also hate s*** like this (emphasis mine)... Warner is the most vocal — and visible — Christian on the Cardinals, proclaiming his faith at every opportunity and underscoring it by carrying a Bible with him almost everywhere he goes. He had it with him at the postgame press conference after Arizona upset Philadelphia to reach the Super Bowl, and took time to credit his faith in God for the win before answering any other questions. Apparently God hates the Eagles. LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINK I always say I have no problem with people thanking God for, say, blessing them with professional athletic ability or something along those lines. But be consistent with it. If you're going to thank God for the touchdowns you threw or your wins, also be thankful (or be upset, whatever) for the interception you threw in the 4th quarter or the time when you fumbled near your own goal line. Because God has de facto responsibility for those, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bring a couple staff members and they sit in the McDonalds drinking coffee and meanwhile their "patients" and "residents" and tearing open packages, and starting conversations with everyone. Today one of their kids grabbed my cart to return it to the front where the 85 year old, I should have saved for retirement, greeter would say "nice job!". And it is Winter Texas time so the damn trailer parks are full and they all come to "WalMart's" with their name tags and helpful suggestions that start "up north we . . ."

BobDylan Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 26, 2009 -> 09:51 AM) I was buying a pack of batteries or something at Walgreen's a few years back and I was in a good mood, there was an old lady behind me so I let her get ahead of me since she didn't have much. She was happy, it made me feel good, and everything was cool until she took out her Crown Royal bag with the hundreds of f***ing pennies to pay for it. My god. It took forever to count. I'm thinking "why'd this b**** let me let her in front of me when she knew she was gonna take forever, and I'd have taken 20 seconds to ring up?" Moral of the story: don't let old ladies in front of you in line. HAHA. And I don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I hate to be rushed, when it's clear that I'm rushing. Like when you're at home getting dressed at the speed of light and you're wife says "you know we have to be there in 15 minutes"..... or at work when you're busting your ass to make a deadline and the prick next to you says "dude you know that's due, like, now, right?"

I just knew come this time of the year I would be getting a major migraine from the folks who's taxes I do who can't comprehend that the stimulus check you got last year was an advance on this year’s refund.

BigSqwert Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Happened moments ago... I hate when a coworker stops by your desk and solicits charity raffle tickets or other crap I have no interest in. In this case the guy offers raffle tickets that are $20 each and of course a different guy that was already at my desk immediately pulls out a $20 so now I feel forced to buy a ticket as well. Post something on the bulletin board if you want to sell crap at work. I loved that my previous employer banned people from soliciting anything in the office.

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) I am learning to really hate it when people say "the 1 inch line" or the "1 foot line" on football broadcasts. There is no 1 inch line or 1 foot line, there are just lines evenly placed every full yard. Just say "1 inch" or "1 foot" away from the goal line/first down.
