New neighbors.    They excel at being loud.    They have modified exhausts on their cars, truck and motorcycles.   :thumbdown Annoying as hell.

Sorry, I know exactly how it is.

Return to the paper towel thread -

It's what makes Mrs. E crazy and annoyed. The first time I brought those paper towels home, she blew a gasket. Oh, by the way, I was trained to ONLY buy Bounty. Anything else made her crazy and annoyed.

She uses paper towels by the truckload. They're her go-to object for anything that needs wiping, except her butt, of course.

I can see the wisdom of having the half-sheets, but you do have to pay attention and tear them off in the right place. Tearing them off between the perforations makes me crazy and annoyed.

I am grateful to have paper towels, though. Our parrot poops on them. She doesn't care if they're perforated or not.  :rotflmao:

Thieving trash.    Local dealer robbed, they rolled five dirt bikes out the door.

You'd think this would be the most popular thread on this forum this year.
Maybe its best THIS doesn't turn into a bitch location as everything else does.

Pissed that more people won't get vaccinated, using some of the dumbest excuses ever.
I respect your beliefs and want you to be able to choose, until it puts me and my family at risk.

People who try to virtue shame others into doing something they don't want to.  And thinking the other person's reasons are stupid.

I agree with that sentiment from Mr. Pepsi, although you are correct in that I don't want this moved to the Arena as it's my thread.  So if anyone responds, make it about the vaccine and nothing more or I'll just delete the post.    Pros and Cons accepted but no political sh*t.

Temps north of 90 F. Too hot to ride comfortably. Starting to see some more reasonable temps, which makes me less crazy and annoyed;

Excessive Bureaucracy!  >:(

Last week I had to travel to Luxembourg for my Dad's funeral.
He fought Pancreatic cancer for 4½ years but the metastases finally took him.  :'(

To get back into the UK (after the funeral and a bit of a memory lane tour) I had to get
1- Get Covid Tested before travelling back to the UK.
2- Provide proof of my Covid vaccinations.
3- Book a "Day 2" Covid test to be done 2 days after my return to the UK and enter that booking code into the below Passenger Locator Form.
3- Complete a Passenger Locator Form certifying where I had been on which dates.

Now some of this I understand as desirable to help control Covid spread, but the websites used for the forms and for the Day 2 Test bookings are all really REALLY SH!T and were obviously designed by a committee of Bureaucratic Chimpanzees on Crystal Meth.

To travel to Luxembourg from the UK (driving via France & Belgium) I only had to provide proof of my Vaccinations.

Thanks Jim. He led a highly varied life and always gave more than he got.
We'll miss him, but 79 is not a bad run.

This just happened again to me and I mostly see it in younglings with very short attention spans. When I text or email someone and it has more than 1 question in it, they never get past the first sentence when answering me so I need to send another text or email asking the rest or follow up question. I asked a rental agent today,

1-I don't know the property address, how do I find it
2-how do I enter the coupon code
3-do I need to make an account and use my credit card


Her full answer? "We will need the address", that's it.

I see that all the time, it is annoying.

And it seems almost nobody understands inline replying...  how to do it, or even how to READ it.  I almost always inline reply to any complicated Email that asks many questions or has multiple parts.  One such Email I got a reply to that said MY reply message was "blank".  Why?  Because they assumed the only type of reply is a "top reply" that Microsoft kinda forced on everyone.  I sent back a message asking if they would please look through what I sent again...

I work in Technical Support and to find out the cause of a problem we need to ask questions. We often get people who only answer one question (not always the first) from a list of questions, and some answer the question that they imagined you asked rather than the question you actually asked. Very frustrating.
Some of our customers log a case and when you ask them questions to narrow down the cause they reply that they are too busy to answer questions and we should just fix it. Yeah, me an my magic wand!  :rotflmao:
However, my pet hate is people who think that they know everything. Many of our customers are highly trained and qualified medical and/or technical personnel and some of them seem to think that that means that they know everything. They may be a specialist in their area of expertise, but they are NOT a specialist in my area of expertise. If they were, then they would not be calling me for support!  :banghead: :nuts:

We call them the ''mad clickers".  Ask a question and suddenly click click clickety click.  Pages opening, buttons pushed, all sorts of things going on.  I'm always telling them, "Slow down, let me drive for a minute" so I can go through the steps myself and see where the problem might be.

another of mine is people who answer my questions instead of those I'm questioning. This is quite common and I don't get too upset about it as they think they are helping, but it's a tool I use to assess people as I question them and you can learn so many things in a few questions that saves time and effort that you don't have to go back and you can start the process of treatment. I will ask kindly one or two times for them to please stop then I will ask a youngling to take them to another room to "get more info or history". Family is very useful but sometimes you need one on one to assess.
