My gripe of the day

[kucing13]

My gripe.....which seems to happen about 3 times a week on my way home......

People that are TOO lazy to pull their car INTO their driveway, and walk to the mailbox. DON'T pull up to it, on the road, to get out your mail, holding up traffic (this usually happens on backroads btw, where it's not quite wide enough to do this crap). They pull up, try to get their mail out or the box by stretching over the passenger side of the car, and then once they finally have it, they pull into the driveway which is about 3 feet from the mailbox.

God, people are getting so lazy these days. Pull your car into your damn driveway and get out and walk 5 ft. to your mailbox.

what makes people lazy in the first place anyway.

Err, fast food, cars, computers, pizza delivery and dishwashers. You could make quite a list.

My first gripe is lack of consistancy.
My second gripe is people who put the mailbox on the wrong side of the driveway, so you have to stretch across the passengers side.

My third gripe is people who put all the mailboxes for the shared driveway bunched together, and then the numbers fall off, and the postman can't make an educated guess based on the previous box number being 47, so sequentially the order of the bunched mailboxes would be 49,51,53,55 and decides to put 51's mail into 55's box!
Logic people! Logic!

my gripe is with the people who decided that having mailboxes outside was a good idea anyway.... why not just do like we do in the UK and have a letterbox in the front door? that would solve all your problems in one go

I also hate the way you can never find that option on your computer that you know you've seen but it's never where you think it is....

It gives the mail man a head start on the dog.

in short = TECHNOLOGY AND GLOBALIZATION?

 

[johnwillyums]

Yeah I suppose so. I don't imagine tribesmen in remote parts of the rainforests of The Amazon are lazy

 

[kucing13]

yeah...they catch fish and hunt for meat. couldn't remember if they have canned tuna or McDonald inside a jungle

I concur with all replies.

A fourth gripe, is people pronouncing text-speak.
You dont say 'Lol', you say 'hahaha'. And you simply cannot abbreviate LOL into Lawl!
And all those other words the youth of today have...

 

[CarlTR6]

I agree. The texting shorthand is a big pet peeve of mine.

 

[JMH]

My gripe is that there are not enough hours in a day......

Closely followed by Politician's duplicity.

My Gripe of the Day is that there aren't enough BSODs in the world. Come on guys, let's install ZoneAlarm, McAfee, and Daemon Tools on more machines.

Yes, kind of ironic. I want more BSODs so I can solve more.

speaking as one of the "texting generation" it also annoys me when people use the acronym lol in conversation, JUST LAUGH DAMMIT!

 

[johnwillyums]

Absolutely agree there SS. It is just so naff to use text acronyms when speaking.
Come to think of it how many people really LOL anyway.
I certainly never, ever, ROFL. I'd get covered with dog hair and licked severely.
In fact, since I live on my own, any LOLing might attract the wrong kind of attention (the men in white coats)

 

[kucing13]

i wouldn't call it OS if its not come with BSOD. or would I
