Car horns in radio commercials. I want to personally do harm to everyone at an ad agency who does this.Crankshaft wrote:I feel the same way about police sirens on the radio.BigMcK wrote:Door bells in commercials!
The little dog at home starts. Then, dog two and three. Dog three has a baritone bark that rattles windows.
If I ever meet the wise guy that put that door bell in the commercial selling dryer sheets, I think dog three has a bark made just for the occasion.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
I was in the car one day listening to a G Love song and there's a part where there's a car screeching its tires like it can't stop... I was sitting at a stop light at the time. Scared the crap out of me.

The quick touch automatic window on the driver's side door. Meant to free up my hands; instead, boggles my mind

Drives me nuts. Dealership says there's nothing they can do.
IT AIN'T RIGHT!

And here I thought holding the door open for someone was being friendly. Well I won't be caught being sexist anymore, I'll slam the door shut from now on... So stupid.

So if they make sandwiches for us, is that reverse sexism?silentom wrote:I guess I shouldn't make sandwiches for my wife either, haha.
If so, I'm ok with being degraded.

Ah but if she makes the sandwich for you or her, then you are expecting her to be in the kitchen, which makes you sexist. How dare you sir!

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Post Office pricing. Had to send a single sheet document to Poland ASAP. $47. Sending packages overall seems so much more expensive than just a few years ago, probably 3 times. I even compared pricing for same-sized package between USPS, UPS, Fedex... more or less the same. Too much.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Last time I sent a flat-rate priority envelope to Europe it was $15. I can't even think of a way to get to $47 if it was a normal-sized piece of paper and they didn't intentionally rob you. Did you send something next-day air to Poland or something...?

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
took it to best buy, dude at the counter said "yeah... that brand is a best buy brand and it sucks. life span is only a year or two." Bought a samsung, similar size, about $150 more... hopefully this one lasts.count2infinity wrote:Yes, I paid only $200 for a 37" TV a year and a half ago, but I'd expect it to last longer than that. Woke up this morning and there's no picture, just sound. Apparently this happens a lot with this brand.
