I don't care what it's called.

I drive at or close to the speed limit, and I'm usually following other cars anyway. It's not like I'm at the head of the slow train.

I consider myself a considerate driver, but ride my ***... expect a trailer hitch through the grill. Call WVSP Trooper John C McDougal of the Fairmont detachment and ask him if I'm lying. "Sorry officer, 'coon ran right out in front of me. Couldn't hit the cute little thing"

Wow, I halfway expected to get expelled from this site for saying all that. Instead you (mostly) agree. Cool!

Just remembered one more thing....

Those new style of light bulbs they make for track lighting, G-7 or whatever.

These things have got to be the biggest pain in the **** to change.
Did they go out of their way to engineer it so people have a nervous breakdown trying to change the stinkin bulb?

I'm ready to rip all my track lights out and return them all to home depot and tell them to lick my nuts.

I have to replace 2 this morning, and honestly, I'd much rather reshingle the garage instead of changing those 2 stinkin bulbs, it would be easier.

When you see the advertisements in the paper by the dealerships, and they show the selling price, and then the payment price..... but there is a little asterix beside the payment, and in tiny letters it says "bi-weekly".

What's next? Weekly? or how about....

2005 F150, fully loaded

$42,000 or payments as low as $23

***(per day)
(with $10,000 down plus taxes)

Smart shoppers always read the fine print.

Deceptive ******.

I call that kind of thing...false advertisement, but the fine print saves their butt.

I hate going into a fast food joint and see this awesome looking burger, but the actual burger doesn't look like the picture.

Not so much a peeve, but annoying:

0% How in the world can you have 0% of something? You can have none, or zero amount, or nothing. But not a percentage of nothing, it just doesn't make any sense!!
