What are your pet peeves? (Non audio related)
Comments
-
People who join a forum such as this and start to brag about what gear they own or have owned, what kind of house they live in or are going to build and what kind of car(s) they have or have had. Nothing says you have a little dick quite like it.
Gee, I think this happened just this last week. Everyone starts getting all gushy about the guy's gear, girl friend, and cars and forgets he just joined to sell his Polks (at a really high price)... People talking about getting adopted an all. I liked the stuff he supposedly has, but come on people... -

Also...not calling the guy a lier by any means....but who with THAT kind of cash flow joins a polk site to sell value based speakers in the first place ? I've known guys like that...when they get tired of something that inexpensive ( Relative to THAT income ) they just give the **** away.
You never know what/who is real on this thing we call the internet anyways...
unless you take it to that next level and actually go meeting people at polkfests...swapping speakers...going over members homes for good smoke/alcohol/**** sessions/listening sessions.....like we tend to do here on Club Polk.
One of my best friends is a multi-millionaire...he is also one of the most frugal people I know when it comes to buying HIMSELF toys...the only 2 big purchases ( Other then the 2 large homes ) I have ever seen him make were 2 automobiles 13 years apart ( His race spec 95 twin turbo porsche and his new Z06 Vette ) ...thats IT. I keep teasing him that his little **** 32 inch LCD that somebody damaged during a party ( Upper right corner now has a hand sized purple tint to it ...wasnt intentional...somebody tripped ) needs replaced. All he said was " I watch very little tv " :eek:The first rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club -
And that's why he's rich!

Muscle spasms. Especially eye twitching. My eyes twitch almost constantly anymore. Most people say it's because of all the stress I've been dealing with. Makes me want to stick forks in my eyes. What bugs me even more is when a muscle spasm turns into a full fledged cramp and it feels like your muscle is gonna rip itself right off the bone. Yeah, they suck.
Oh and I don't get mad about people who drive like morons. I am either moving way to fast for them to even react to me or I just go around them screaming like a banshee and smiling moroningly.
Oh and when you are trying to bust loose the flex plate bolts and the last one is a pain in the tukis and it finally busts loose and your hand slides off the wrench and your knuckles and/or wrists scrape right along the gear teeth of the flex plate. Makes for an awesome day! Let me tell you!Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Some times. What I really hate is when my shoulders tense up and my entire back feels like it wants to curl in on itself.
What really sucks too is when I'm sleepin' and I'm laying funny on an extremity of some sort and it "falls asleep" from lack of blood flow. I wake up and get angry because I know as soon as the blood flow starts again, the whole arm or leg is gonna tense up and cramp like crazy.
Or when I'm turning my head to look at something a neck muscle freaks out and whips my head around and effectively gives myself whiplash. Yeah, that sucks too. Gives me one hell of a head ache too.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

You know what? I've put down like two or three bananas (high in potassium and such) and it doesn't help much. I also gotta be careful with the calcium. I'm a cookies and milk junky and I've actually had calcium growths develop on bones because my calcium intake gets too high.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

Or beer! Besides, alcohol is a muscle relaxant and a blood thinner. Helps out with the cramps and head aches.
Of course I could back off on the exercise stuff. I don't need to beat myself up 6 days a week I guess.Expert Moron Extraordinaire
