Things That Suck These Days

Oh and reality TV - if i see one more disposable celebrity i am going to puke.

The most annoying thing about the car alarms is their one, loud, obnixious honk it emits when they’re set. When I lived at an apartment, this guy always came home at 2:00 A.M. and woke the whole area up setting his frickin alarm.

Fucking PC safety Nazis. :mad: **

And the fucking Trial Lawyers too!

The level of complexity exhibited in today’s cars. Good lord, I don’t even like to open up the engine compartment on newer cars, it’s depressing! Small mechanic shops are getting phased out and people, like me, who like to work on their cars are going to be left out to dry and have to spend mega moula on repairs in the future. And all that new plastic crap on the new cars is so easy to break it’s ridiculous.

I’m glad my newest car is an '87. And a truck.
I enjoy being able to crawl inside the engine compartment on my scout.
It took me at least an hour to take the battery and cables out of a '97 neon because the compartment is so cramped it was nearly impossible to get a good angle with the tools.

Damn.

note that due to multilingual/univeral language appeal, lately the blow-dryers instructions have been replaced with pictures! Of course, we all know the reason wasnt so that everyone even non-english readers could understand it, the REAL reason was manufacturers were getting tired of seeing this:

Step 1. Push button

there is something about anime that makes me want to KILL SOMETHING. i cant stand the stupid fat mouths of stupid little japanese kids and the lips not syncing right. besides, white people who walk around with DragonBall Z shirts and button down Dragon Ball Z shirts are just annoying.
Another thing: in my school, the RATS outnumber the normal people by at least 2:1. Rats are kids who dont take showers everyday and have RatStashes. Ratstashes are where kids are trying to grow a mustashe but all it ends up being is a thin little mustache. Then to top it off they play hackysack in the halls and are very loud an obnoxious.

[abbaZaba]

Also 90% of the rats are stupid and have to go to special “Merge” classes.

[culture]

I have to disagree. The electric hand driers alway work for me. Now public bathroom doors that push to enter and pull to exit suck. Like my hands are still going to be clean after touching that handle given 90% of you wankers never wash your hands. If they are out of paper towels, I have to wait until someone opens the door.

Car radiators with Plastic Side Tanks.

I now have to buy a $400+ radiator, because the plastic cracked.

NO! All of those have been torn down and replaced with some politicly correct “thing” made of plastic, rubber and metal, sitting in a big sandbox. The damned thing was designed so that even children in wheelchairs could get on it, but no one (not even the kid in the wheel chair) would have any fun with “it”.

Sheesh, I can’t remember the last time I saw a decent swing set. They have even been removed from all of the elementary schools!

Fucking PC safety Nazis. :mad: **

Amen brother! My favorite thing in elementary school was the giant 15’ (or so it seemed to a 3rd grader) “Thunderdome” style jungle gym. You were garanteed at least one broken arm a year on the thing. Now how do the kids know who’s the king of the playground?

PDAs suck. Hey look at me!! I have electronic an Post-it note!

NYC Chineese delivery people - They ride their bikes on the sidewalk 100mph, try and weasle a bigger tip and then leave a dozen flyers in the hall - “SORRY…ME NO SPEAKEE CHINEE!! NOW GET THE FUCK OUT AND PICK UP THOSE DAMN MENUS!!”
abbaZaba - We called those guys “bongs” in HS.

How about the doors on the stalls like that? Especially in some of these small bathroom stalls. You have to lean back over the toilet to pull the door open.

I miss late movies on TV. It used to be, that after 11:30 at night almost all the channels would be showing movies. Now they show infomercials instead. Not an improvement.

[Doomtrain]

There are still a few drive ins. There’s one not too far from me, if I understand correctly. I haven’t been out there.

Also, too much “crap” made out of cheapy plastic, even by cheap plastic standards. Disposable is one thing, but some items should never see the light of day to begin with.

I’ve asked my mother to put me down in her will for her stapler. That’s right, her stapler. It’s about 30 years (or more) old, solid metal, works perfectly every time. Back when I worked for the government, I had a coworker who had an even older metal stapler he’d hung onto until it dropped off inventory lists, and I think there would have been a homicide if anyone even tried to touch it. I understood completely.

“…but I kept my swingline because it doesn’t bind up as much…”

[Iteki]

They switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn’t bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and its not okay because if they take my stapler then ill set the building on fire.

Had to do it, sorry butrscotch!

[Iteki]

Well crap…

[ace22]

Mwah!

See, you can get your reply in quicker if you don’t actually put any effort into it…you know, like looking stuff up to make sure you get it right.
