Things that bother me

Things that bother me

Postby russ » Sat Nov 08, 2003 12:07 am

When something is "new and improved", which is it? If it's new,
then there has never been anything before it. If it's an
improvment, then there must have been something wrong with it
before.

People who are willing to get off their ass to search the room
for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and
change the channel manually.

The Norwich Life commercial where the old fart answers the
phone, says hello and then immediately tells his wife "It's
Patrick! He bought life insurance!" Excuse me? How did Patrick
find the time to tell you this? You barely breathed between
"Hello and it's Patrick." And why the hell do you have big
sheets of bristol board and thick markers by the phone? Do you
people play Pictionary over the phone often?

When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it
too". F... off. What good is a goddamn cake you can't eat? What,
should I eat someone else's cake instead?

When people say "It's always in the last place you look." Of
course it is. Why would you keep looking after you've found it?
Do people do this? Who and where are they?

When people say, while watching a movie "Did you see that?" No
idiot, I paid $9.50 to come to the theatre and stare at that
thing over there. What did you come here for?

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me
a choice, did ya there buddy?

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I
know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? Do I
point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is?

Very amusing. ;D

Oh about the remote. I have to use it cos I forgot long ago how to change channels manually. If the batteries go I'm fixed. I have about 10 remotes for various TV sets & other boxes of electronic wizardry - every darned one is different. I often forget how to use them too. ::) ;)

Oh, and BTW, It really ticks me off that everything in home electronics nowadays comes with a 'universal' remote so you can program all your other crap with it.  This is supposed to save you having 6 remotes floating around.  Unfortunately, every piece has it's own individual functions that no other has, so you just end up with six universal remotes anyway!  >:( ;D

I will normally have my cake, eat it, have your cake, eat it, and have everyone's cakes, and eat them.

I'm so happy that there are others that get ticked off as easily as I!!! :)

I bet Hagar never posts the "cake and eat it too" line ever again!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I always wondered about the improved flavored dog or cat food? Who is the one tasting it?

Will too. I'm not so easily deterred & have a skin like a rhino. Besides, tis one of my favourite sayings. :P ;D


Good for you my friend! Don't let anyone influance your desicions! Try Oil of Olay for the skin! :)

One well-known pet food manufacturer actually uses human tasters. I don't have a dog or a cat & not being inclined to try dog/cat food myself I have no idea which one. ::)


I do admit that I have eaten a dog biscuit before :-[
No! Not recently!!! about 25 years ago!!! And I still can't get the taste out of my mouth!   ;D

Come to think of it this might have been Pedigree Chum. I don't know if you have it in the US or if the company still sells it.

:o  Here's one that bothers me.  Why do drive through ATM machines have braille on them?  Are there really blind people driving around trying to find the bank?

Here's another thing I wonder about:  Have you ever noticed that on bags of microwave popcorn they put nutrition info for both popped and unpopped corn?  That unpopped stuff is a little rough on the teeth isn't it?
