That’s why I’ve restrained mystery from posting. You know the old expression, “Don’t get me started!”, well I felt it to be particularly applicable in this case as once I start complaining.....but then I guess a man should do what he’s good at. Stay padded, as that one of the few areas in which I don’t have a pet peeve!diapernh said:
In the old days, (circa early 1910's-early 1930's) some cars didn't even have turn signals.BobbiSueEllen said:Haven't you heard? Turn signals are optional equipment on Mercedes-Benzes, BMWs, Hondas and Subarus. They put the lights on the cars' corners but they leave out the bulbs and the control stalk. Guess they're bloody expensive...
For me: the notion of no good deed going unpunished. If someone does something to help you (third-person) along, thank them. We are not entitled by virtue of existence to good deeds, so if you get blessed by one, consider the source...and thank them!
People who use the rest room but don't wash their hands. More important now than it ever was.KittyMerriweather said:
I went to breakfast this morning and went into the bathroom to wash my hand and someone peed on the floor in front of the urinal and it was the one that the urinal went down to the floor and the smell was horrid I left the bathroom and the diner at once on my way out I complained to the manager. Needless to say I ate elsewhereEagleBoy said:
Damned word suggest, or the spell correct, one of the two got me again. Obviously I didn’t mean “mystery”, but rather “myself” and my “that’s” mysteriously reverted to “that” near the end. That’ll teach me to proof read my posts before I send them. I used to be in the habit of doing so with all my papers when I returned to college, almost thirty years ago, and continued doing so as an engineer, but fifteen years of getting paid from the government for doing nothing, along with heavy doses of pain meds, has caught up with me.Zeke said:

They're all scams. All except United and Humana...that I know of. And pharmaceutical commercials are an insult to all aesthetics and intelligence.Paddy2020 said:My pet peeve is having to watch those Medicare hotline commercials. They are on 24-7 and they air every time. I hate to see old sports stars spouting the wonders of the medicare companies. The one that gripes my ass is the woman posing like she's doing an interview. The commercial seems to go on forever!!
