The "Things I really hate" Thread

[spyderchick]

As I learned from Jeff Kufalk, Wal Mart sells batteries stupid cheap and they don't ask any questions if you show up looking for a warranty, even if your malfunctioning car or your own negligence killed them.  (Even sweeter if your diesel needs two...)  There's no reason in the world to be driving around with a suspect battery.  Anyone needing a jump start is just too plain lazy to plan ahead and deserves to be stuck.

We keep a spare battery charged in the winter. When it's wicked cold Rog takes it into work and if his car won't start he has an instant swap. ;)

I offered to buy it and take it with me.  He didn't want to sell.  He must like just loaning it out... ::)

I talked to him last night (mid blizzard, 6 inches on the ground 12 more coming), pushin him to go to Tally GP in February....here's hoping.

Oh...the "hate" thing...

DRAMA....I hate drama....and its usually avoidable.....why is everybody so prone to it?why does everyone feel compelled to be a "reality star" (translate=attention whore)....drunk or sober, I am sick to death of drama.

Being a high school teacher, you would think I see more drama from the children...NOPE...adults are by far the worst!

I must admit that the Tim Struyk "well good for you" response works well in removing myself from these moments, but I wish the situations just didn't exist in the first place!

FISH ON!

thanks for the props mark, helps drive up my "street cred"  8)

or even more popular as of late

"well let me know how that works out for you" or "I'm sure that will work out just fine"

both allow you just enough room to casually stroll away removing yourself from the conversation!   

and of course when they insist on bringing to your attention how upset they are... (and its obviously something else thats bothering them)

"Dont be mad at me because youre in a bad relationship"

with women at least, 99% of the time... its dead nuts accurate

feel free to use at your discretion

So you punch the mirror every morning? 

I keed...I keed... 

Oh, snap!

Needles... I hate needles

I have to get my knee drained every year or 2 and the size of the friggin needle is retarded.  I"d rather get general anesthesia and lose a full day of functioning than go through the 2 mins of agony of having that javelin stabbed in my knee and worked around to get the remaining fluid off.  THEN when the receptical is full he disconnects the friggin needle leaving it in my knee, squirts the fluid into a container, reattaches it and continues on.  I literally have to stare at the ceiling and try not to pass out... its that bad.  I'm in there once a year or so and the nurses all know to have ice water on standby and that I get TWO suckers if i'm brave... so far in the past 4 years I have only recieved one per visit.

I must say when its all dont though my knee feels great... maybe I should just get the surgery but I have a hunch there are needles involved in that too...

Dude, have the surgery already! Just your description makes me cringe!


Way to go, people! Run with it! This thread is yours; catharsis is within your grasp...

I hate that it's 4 degrees and I can't take my bud Rommel for a walk.  He was a Malamute and loved this kind of weather.  Two years later and a beautiful, sweet Husky to love but I still miss my Rom.

Like I said, I've solved the driving irritations, so just food to rant about.

Living with Rhiannon I learned to cope with drama as well. It's funny cuz now she hates drama.

What else do I hate? People who would strangle kittens or run over hamsters.   

Dudes, what did they ever do to piss you off?

Here is a breakdown of the first ½ of the 2009 season win percentage by brand to help you with this one. Remember Ultralight SuperBike and Lightweight SuperSport are what CCS considers "entry-level" classes. The "inexpensive" SV still wins the lions share of those classes.

Y'all just continue arguing amongst yourselves...

ThunderBike   Win Percentage
BMW   3.70%
Buell   40.74%
Duc   29.63%
Kaw   3.70%
Suz   22.22%

SuperSport   Win Percentage

Thank you, Kevin, very informative, but I'm now very psyched about a hamster-powered spec class. I think THIS idea has legs - lots of little furry ones!!

Think about it:

-It's a "Green" series, which I understand will be the next great innovation in our sport. No petroleum products and  very little noise (except for all the panting). Oops, I guess there is the issue of hamster waste, but wait! Fertilizer! That's it! Now, racers can defray their costs by going into the organic fertilizer business! Oh wait, there's also the issue of emissions, um, that is, hamster farts. We'll have to do some environmental impact studies to determine the ecological impact and whether it's offset by the new, revolutionized fertilizer market..

-It will also revolutionize the hamster pet industry. Of course, we can't run those guys for too long. I propose a new hamster powerplant every time we change the tires as a good basic guideline. This will be fair to the rodents while providing the marketplace with an abundant supply of heart-healthy, "race-tested" (Trademark rights!! Ka-Ching!!) hamsters, thereby helping to regulate the currently volatile, and often abused, hamster marketplace.

-REAL money can be made in the performance-enhancing drug market. That's right, I'm going to cynically propose that we don't try to hide our dirty little hamster-doping secrets, rather, we embrace and encourage the practice so that we can subsidize HUGE purses in the series, thereby encouraging GARGANTUAN grids! If we do this right, we can build this thing into the direct feeder series for MotoGP!!

-Last but not least, chicks dig hamsters, and they dig racers, so there is an obvious synergy to be realized here. Now, we're all getting laid, too! (Sorry to all you female racers out there. This doesn't benefit you, as we all know what kind of men love hamsters. Again, sincerest apologies, but I'm sure that you'll see the other benfits of the proposed series, and lend your full support.)

I'm waiting by my phone so we can discuss this further. I'd encourage we move quickly on this before someone steals it..."

So, au contraire, cherie, I just want to corner the market...

[tstruyk]

yup... its December!   

Jim I have consulted with my Ortho and its of both out opinions that until this becomes a "once every few months" draining... we will avoid surgery.

Plus there are indeed needles involved in the surgery...

and the nurse is hot...

like REALLY hot....

and she thinks my fear of needles is "cute"

did I mention she is hot?

Well then, it sounds to me like you should poke her back...

[DEVINC]

very nice

Doc does the pokin (and not in a good "las vegas" kinda way), she gives me the suckers... (and again, not in a good "las vegas" kinda way)

I really think its cute when right before he skewers me, he, with a very dry tone in his voice and a slight smirk on his face says "sorry" and plunges in... fucker

How 'bout a thread where we can officially vent/rant about the stuff that really bugs the shit outta us?
.....Ah, Fuggit. I'm moving to Florida.

I hate liars and cheats.

And Farmboy, sorry to break the news to you ~ The state of Florida is a slowsky magnet!  The classic move is pulling out into traffic and going 2 mph. You may want to re-think your relocation strategy
