Hahaha!
This thread is for posting, if you wish, those stupid little things that can annoy you during the day. I'll start with these;
You know what I hate? The slide on toilet paper holders. No matter how you try to tighten that minuscule set screw it always comes loose thus causing the spring loaded toilet paper dowel to push them apart. The result, every time you lean to do your clean up and barely touch the toilet roll with your arm or shoulder, IT FALLS OFF!!! Give me the old fashioned porcelain molded, grouted to the wall holder any day.
You know what else I hate? The one piece shower/bathtub overlay. You soap up and go to place the soap in the dish or in one of the shelves and it inevitably slips off and skates around the tub like a hockey puck on ice. THEN you have rinse off, especially to keep the soap out of your eyes and still blindly have to grope around for the soap. Lean forward too far and you slip forward and crack your head on the shower wall, lean back-wards too far and your feet go out from under you and you land on your keister! SURE you can use one of those porcupine inserts but then you end up having to pry the soap off it and now you have a bar of soap that looks like its been hit with a shotgun blast OR you could get a shower caddy made of the plastic coated metal that hangs from the shower head and what happens, you wife starts going nuts because there are big hard stalactites hanging from the grills or worse yet it starts to rust OR you can use the plastic only shower caddy which just keep slipping off the shower head pipe.
What do you have?:biggrin:

The speed limits, the slow car hogging the passing lane, the 10 items or less with an old check writer who's lonely, the speed expected for an oil change and check over (hurry up with my 40 thousand dollar car), the expected free and completely accurate diagnostics on a vehicle (doctors can't do it, why should we ? we didn't make it/we didn't break it), and the overall assumption that vehicle repair and maintenance is a pittance and should always be rock bottom pricing, the big box stores trying to repackage and resell returns at full retail, getting mugged by salespeople in stores when you are comparative shopping and not getting help when you really need it

Sometimes, when I poo, it smells of dust and desperation. Why am I still alive? Do you know? I don't.

Wanna know what i hate?!
People who live in New England (or any other snowy state for that matter) that still haven't figured out how to drive in the snow! We're coming up on that special season again where everybody loses their minds when the white stuff hits the road surface.:eek:
I get a kick out of those "Indestructible" civic drivers that think with 6 inches of snow on the highway, that they can still bob and weave between traffic. (many a problems have been witnessed). I especially like the cotton tops that take their relic 1980 cordovas out and proceed to stop on uphill roads due to NOTHING! They then sit there and spin the tires and drift sideways taking up both lanes. Or the teenagers that think their suped up 1996 Ford Mustang is a winter ready car....not. Twin Turbo'd 1999 Camaros don't work either.
If you can't or are afraid to drive in the snow, then stay home. I bet Samantha Rotten Crotch over at the local Rub 'n" Tug will be willing to help you out tomorrow.
Public Annoucement - BINGO HAS BEEN CANCELED! STAY HOME!

Get 4wd!!!!!Where’s the KABOOM?!?! There’s supposed to be an Earth shattering KABOOM!!! -
Ooh! I've got a couple.
In a drive-thru.. where you pick up your food is generally covered.. why the hell not where you order?? I'm tired of asking for extra napkins at the pickup window so I can mop up all the rain that flooded my car a couple minutes before.
On Craigslist.. why is it so damn hard to include actual DESCRIPTIONS of what you're selling? Model numbers, condition, etc. Is that asking too much? When "Home speakers. Good shape. Cash only" is the extent of your effort to sell something, I move on to the next ad almost instantly."I did not slap you. I high-fived your face." -
I hate how toilets here in the USA only have toilet paper. Sometimes when I have a messy number two I have to follow-up with a shower because no matter how many times I wipe, my rear end never seems to be clean. When I was in Malaysia it was so nice to just grab the hose next to the toilet, spray my rump down and then dab with some toilet paper.
