- I like this store in the mall called Express.  So, I signed up for their email list to receive coupons and stuff.  They email me EVERY SINGLE DAY.  It's irritating.  I wish they'd lay off just a little bit.  ...damn.  Email me once a month, if you must.  It's just too much.

Similarly, a couple years ago I made a donation to the local PBS station, thought I might make it an annual thing.  Then I proceeded to receive monthly requests for more money, which probably cost more than the donation I made.  Irritated me to think my donation was wasted.

This has been a really bad problem lately....Bad recommendations by people who know you,not just some average person you just met,but people who spend time with you (friends/family,coworkers)

(sorry for being bitchy/passive aggressive here...)

B...You have to go to this steakhouse/restaurant,and get their house steak,burger...(I don't eat read meat)

B...You really need to listen to this song by this Rap/hip hop artist...

B.. You need to go to Home depot,Best Buy,Target and get this....(all those stores have one location here,and it's on the opposite side of town,99% of the time, I can find it cheaper online,or another store that I'd have to pass to go to one of those places)

B...You need to go to Cardinals Clubhouse,and check out.....(not exactly my type of place being a Cubs fan)

I don't have a problem with them telling me,about something/someplace that's not within like 50 miles from here...If you get to a dunkin donuts,White castle try this....

I have so much respect for the mod community of the PC gaming world. By gamers for gamers, I love you guys. My latest miracle find; Starcraft: Brood War sound/music replacement for the shitty ones in Starcraft 2. My ears no longer bleed.

THE UNIVERSE - I've always been into astronomy as a kid and recently rediscovered my passion for it by watching documentaries on Netflix.  Nothing will make you feel like less than a bacterial turd than to learn about the universe and it's unending vastness.  Fantastic stuff though and I'll be following NASA's stuff more closely from now on.  Even before all this I used to just watch the NASA channel (whatever it's actually called) and just get lost in their missions no matter how boring the crap they happened to be showing was.

Maps - I've never realised how much I love looking at and studying maps and globes until Ms. Guru pointed it out to me.  She believes in reincarnation and a bunch of other whacky stuff and feels like I was once an explorer in medieval times.  I tell her I'm still a pirate in search of booty.  HAY - OH!!!

I'm not sure if it's a good thing,or a sad thing everything on my Amazon wish/watch list can be bought for less than $450..(Actually $442.09,most of which could be bought Prime so no shipping) I am watching multiple things more than once on the list, which I didn't count,and I didn't count my supplies list...(Frontline,Printer ink,Cyber clean,etc)

Playstation 3 MOVE: awesome concept, dropped the ball in development. KEEP THE CROSSHAIRS IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN! Seriously? In order to look around you have to drag the the screen via crosshairs? Tweaking helps a little, but I am at a loss as to what they were thinking.

My alarm clock is poorly designed.  The "snooze" button and the "off" button are right next to each other and they are flush with the system.  Counting on a groggy dude to pick the correct button by feel is a losing proposition.

^^^Yeah I have a similar problem, I hit the radio button sometimes and the radio comes on, so..the alarm won't go off if the radio is on; which I don't like, I like to listen to the radio, but sometimes fall back asleep and the alarm won't go off again.

Group projects really suck

I have a pet peeve where you ask someone a direct question (not a trick question or a loaded question) and they don't answer it, but they just repeat what they just said.  It happens at work a lot.

My alarm clock only rings for 54 minutes and then shuts off automatically.  Ever think that if I snoozed 7 effing times, I might need a bit more encouragement to get up?  No, instead you just quit and let me sleep.  Wrong answer.

In today's society where texting rules all (not just texting on your phone - I mean reading blogs, message boards, facebook profiles, etc), is proper grammar really that difficult?


If you know the difference between your and you're.  Or their, they're and there, we would probably get along just fine
