What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[lman]

I've been on it since 1993, and many thousands preceded me.

Don't you miss that dial-up screech? My mom has dsl with poor copper lines and sometimes it seems my old dial-up was faster.

I drove a friend to a Best Buy last week in her Honda CRV... Took me 15 minutes to get the FM radio on, tuned to the station I wanted, and save it as a preset. What a POS "Infotainment system."

My grandmother expressed the same sentiment over programming her VCR in 1983.

I'm not 17 anymore, but geez, I can still find my way around a modern car radio.

That's the problem, it's not just a radio any more, it's navigation, entertainment and lots of other things in one unit. Add to that, if the user interface sucks, like the CRV's does, they don't make it easy to find what they may think are little used features.
I'm not 17 any more either, but at 73 and pretty tech savvy, I can navigate my way around any decent user friendly UI on modern devices. But like I said, some just suck.

I was just reminded of a long standing peeve...watching someone eating cottage cheese. It almost turns my stomach to watch. Even just looking at it in a freshly opened container will gross me out, as it looks like someone has already chewed it up and spit it out.

The person sitting across from my at the diner yesterday ordered a big bowl of it. She is a nice person but I wish she would have stopped talking.

lol... I actually like cottage cheese. But like yogurt or blue cheese, I always wonder how the hell we're supposed to know if it's gone bad.

I have an inkling it went bad just before it was processed into human food.

Dad would never eat cottage cheese, he said it reminded him of the spoiled milk they used to feed to the hogs.
I really like it, especially the large curd stuff with salt and pepper on it.

That reminds me of buttermilk. When I was a kid, we churned our own butter and mixed the buttermilk with grain to feed to the hogs. None of the buttermilk was used for human consumption. I was at the neighbor's at one point and he was drinking buttermilk out of a store-bought container. I guess we could have sold him some of our pig feed.

Never gave a thought to cottage cheese, but watching someone eat an egg salad sandwich has the same effect on me. Had a coworker once who had one for lunch almost every day. Couldn't eat lunch with him it so grossed me out.

Gramma used to eat a banana daily without her teeth in and her mouth wide open.
I was off bananas for years after witnessing this....
