I'll start

Buttons have been around for years. Why is it that I buy something I consider expensive and end up with this?

I have a 30 year old calculator that has real buttons that will last longer than me. We have evolved from practical buttons to this system. I am sure it is nearly free for a company to probably print these "buttons" out but I want real buttons back.

Get your toys with less buttons.

I have learned that more buttons does not equal better, just means more to break.

Simplify.
 
haha I am generally not a complainer but I went to get ice from the fridge and felt it was time.

[old man voice] back in my day we had real buttons. you pushed them and they did something. ya knew exactly what they did. Every button did 1 single thing. 1 button 1 function. Now ya crazy kids have to have a magic touchscreen for everything and you push a button one way and it does something push it another way and it does something totally different. nonsense I tell ya!
 
That's what that button does?
We never push it. I thought it would crush something.
 
My pet peeve is when you start a story on a overturned plane and don't follow up with all the answers. You have a responsibility to let us know. LOL
 
Wow.. it took me awhile to realize that there were two pictures there. I was trying to figure out what kind of newfangled device has water, ice, wash, and spin.

Seriously? If you aren't going to WEAR YOUR DAMN SHIRT THEN WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE IT AT HOME?

It really ****es me off royally when the girl on the treadmill ahead of me DELIBERATELY ties her jacket around her waist just so I can't check out her ass.

Hey, they have to get the water for the ice somewhere...another new recycling concept! ;)
 
Shoe/boot makers who use those stoopid fabric loops instead of eyelets for lacing. Those damned things never last. I even have a high dollar pair of red wings with those stoopid things and had to sew-up a broken loop just this morning. The boots are only about a year old and show very little wear otherwise.

Few people in my gym complain when the young ladies take their shirts off; regardless of where they put them!
 
People in cubicles that always use the speakerphone.

Are you so freaking lazy you can't pick up the handset? :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

funny... It annoys me a whole lot more when it says press TWO for English. And starts with spanish. I don't speak Spanish but I'm guessing they're saying Press 1 for Spanish in Spanish.
 
For the love of God stop driving around with the tow mirrors extended.

Aren't those good for dealing with bicyclists?

Which reminds me of another pet peeve: bicyclists that don't understand the difference between sharing the road and hogging the road.

Has more to do with most cubicle dwellers working with keyboards and business phone planners being utterly retarded and not buying headsets.

Can't type with a phone handset jammed under your neck. And most phone handsets won't fit that fashionable shoulder rest thing on the back, anymore.

If they have a headset you have a legitimate beef. If they don't, you should be asking who the phone design engineer and their boss where they would like the noose to be hung up and how they like the view from a few pre-approved locations. Haha.

Mine aren't electric and aren't easy to set when switching from up to down. They don't really stick out more than a couple more inches when rotated up, and I attach and detach trailers just often enough that I just leave them up.

The ones that actually slide in and out and are all fancy with electric motors that you can set from the driver's position, I'll retract those and re-set them, but moving mine around is an utter waste of time.

I don't make it a habit of hitting things with them, either, though. They're just fine standing up.

Both sides have convex cheater mirrors built into them for blind spot duty, too. Totally functional, rotated up or down, for non-towing. Utterly useless rotated down when towing.

So they're up. And they'll stay up until winter sets in and I'm not towing.

I took the time/effort to get a headset - those guys can't be bothered and are simply inconsiderate a-holes.
