  1. WTF is up with the secret code words on the ticketmaster website. I understand the need to have them, but do you have to make them so difficult to read that you can't even figure out what the letters are? :angry: :angry: :angry:

     

    for example what is that supposed to be on the right?...

     

    Thank you! I thought it was just me.

     

    I also want to complain about soggy, undercooked pizza. I can't seem to avoid it anymore. Even when I ask for crispy, well-done or dark pizza, it ends up mush. I have to pay for a pizza and then bake it myself!

  2. It's not yelling per se, it's a recorded message that has the volume cranked up more than a normal human voice - like those annoying TV commercials that come on blaring during breaks.

     

    You mean like the ones with

     

    BILLY MAY!?

  3. don't even mention that effing "grandma got rear-ended by a reindeer" song. another month or two and we'll have to hear that crap all the time.

     

    That reminds me that the big run-up to holidays infuriates me. Our Tops store has a big scarecrow display with candy. Not exactly pimping it as a Halloween promotion per se, but how else can it be interpreted? It's August!

     

    It's "got run over by a reindeer" I think. You must be listening to the rap version.

  4. I'm not talking about tailgating because I'm in a hurry. I'm not a tailgater and I hate people who do that to me. There are a lot of hills around here, and when the weather is good, probably 99% of the people drive the same way down them - coasting most of the way, and tapping the brakes occasionally to keep the speed from getting out of control. So when grandma starts riding her brakes all the way down the hill, it forces everyone to do the same thing - so not only am I concerned with rear-ending her, but someone behind me not paying attention and blasting me.

     

    Here's a hint - when you hover your pointer over underlined text and the pointer doesn't change from the arrow to the finger, that means it's probably not a link. ;)

     

    People who put "grandma" and "rear-ending her" in the same sentence.

     

    I DON'T WANT TO HOVER MY POINTER OVER UNDERLINED TEXT TO SEE IF IT'S A LINK. ALL UNDERLINED TEXT ONLINE SHOULD BE A LINK.

     

    I got your finger right here.

  5. Another pet peeve:

     

    People who click wildly hoping that any underlined text is a hyperlink, and is not just plain old underlined text.

     

    But I cleaned it up for the Internet-impaired.

     

    How am I supposed to tell the difference?

  6. Here's my pet peeve of the complaint bonus hours:

     

    People who ride the brakes down any decline or hill.

     

    I'm not talking going down a mountain, but people around here burn out their brake lights riding the horizontal pedal going down any slight decline. Meanwhile I'm behind them and doing my best not to rear-end them as they erratically and randomly pump the brakes.

     

    I swear I'm gonna start doing a little NASCAR rubbin' on some of these people's back bumpers and see if they get the point.

     

    People (and web sites) who underline text that is not a hyperlink. I just tried to click on

    People who ride the brakes down any decline or hill. I got nothin'. Disappointing.

  7. I've been saving this one up. I like the freecreditreport.com commercials where the dude sings. But I guess I overanalyze things. I can't just enjoy the catchy tunes.

     

    Why does he end up serving chowder and ice tea because his identity was stolen?

     

    How would knowing his girlfriend's credit was "whack" ahead of time have kept him and her from living in the basement at her mom and dad's?

  8. This seems like one of the most important presidential elections in a long time, and what we're seeing from John McCain is shocking to me, an admirer of the man (not necessarily the politician). I wouldn't give this country's problems to a monkey on a rock, and what we get are commercials featuring Britney, Paris and Charlton Heston as Moses? My God, this country's giant sucking sound just keeps getting worse. The sad thing is, the commercials are clearly working. The "narrative" on Obama is being picked up by Americans. A friend of mine the other day, right on cue, said Obama seems like a "celebrity" to him. Damn Republicans just know how to win elections, I guess.

  9. Hey, was that a pre-preemptive strike?!

     

    I'm putting that one square on the D. They have to be a little more consistent than McKean Co. weather.

     

    Now them's there fightin' words! If I wasn't snowed in right now, I'd drive over the state line and clobber you. If you're man enough to take your glasses off that is.

  10. Good one.

     

    Before the season starts I want to complain about the first person that says that Miller let in a softy on an unimpeded shot from the slot.

     

    I want to complain about X. Benedict goading PA into a fight! Miller's gotta make that save! Serenity now!

  11. Before the season even starts, I want to complain about the first time in 08-09 that one of our defensemen has the puck behind the net, five seconds left in a period or game, and rings it around the boards, for no good reason, right to the enemy point man -- and the puck's sent on goal with 2.1, 2.0, 1.9, 1.8 seconds to go. My all time hockey pet peeve. Stick the fricken puck in your pants! Anything! For the love of Sweet Baby Jane!

  12. I'm sick of all the rain we've been getting lately. If I ever actually had the time to go golfing, this would really be screwing me over right now. The great light shows from these storms have been fun though.

     

    Thanks for reminding me. One of my pet peeves is the weather guy who has to tell you to take an umbrella, put on a jacket, dress lightly (or heavily), be careful on the roads. Are we idiots?

     

    Speaking of umbrellas, people who use them. Unless it's a downpour, it's quite lame. Also: people in our neck of the woods who overdress during the winter. Generally not a problem, but women tend to do it, and especially out of towners, city folk and the like. Unless it's bitter, you'll find me in a light jacket and baseball cap. I mean, you're just going from the house to the car, the car to wherever, and back.

     

    Now, outdoor exercising is a whole 'nother deal.

  13. My complaint ? The idiots on this board who incessantly write very poorly - horrible spelling/grammatical/grammar errors - like the kind a fifth-grader would make. And I thought this was only reserved for the Bills board - guess I was wrong.

     

    Examples: using apostrophe "s" for a nonpossessive noun, i.e., "jersey's"......ughhhhhhh !

     

    Or the hack who tries to use a few big words, does so correctly, but then fumbles a simple word - over and over.

     

    I know I'll get grief for this, but hey, it's complaint Thursday.... :wallbash:

     

    "Only reserved"? Really?

     

    Misusing "only." One of my big pet peeves. And people who write "should of" instead of "should have." And "for all intensive purposes."

  14. so i started a new job this week. it's supposed to be a pretty sweet gig doing some international sales/marketing, and all flippin week i've done nothing. today i moved some boxes around and put together the new mother effin coffee maker. the vp who i report to has to go over with me the major project i've been hired to work on, but she's been busy all week. today we finally scheduled a meeting for 4:30 (the 3rd time we've scheduled something), but she had to go because she forgot about her hair appointment. company pres is back in town tomorrow and i've got squat done on a project he expects done before monday. what a first week. my wife says to quit bitchin since i'm getting pretty good money for sitting on my duff all day. i want to actually do some work.

     

    I'd go see accounting. It's probably just the Penske file.

  15. Thanks LB. I have a burr in my saddle about something and actually thought about making it an (OT) post earlier.

     

    Cranberry juice that is labeled "CRANBERRY" complete with full-color pictures of red, juicy CRANBERRIES -- that is actually cranberry juice, apple juice and grape juice and whatever other kind of juice they decide to put in it. How is that even legal?

     

    Oh man don't even get me started. The curmudgeonness will flow from me like a fountain of chocolate, or something.

  16.  

    Did you actually see his ankle twist under ALL his weight? Mogilny fell like that and broke his leg. I don't think it's going to be a good outcome.

     

    Maybe Heatley didn't do it on purpose. I still want someone to break his face.

     

    Slew foot is the first thing that came to my mind. I'd have to see it again, and I am too cheap to get the DVR thingamajig.
