Things that annoy me

Walking face first into a spider web I didn't see.....

I figured I was going to start something.:laughing:



Midniteoyl, I agree, but since I don't know what the law was in Oklahoma in 1945 I can't say whether he was right or wrong.
And the higher the speed limit on that street, the longer the light is supposed to stay yellow.
Never heard of that, so I wouldn't know, but I guess we all know that the red light cameras are controversial.

Driving through the main artery of a town and hitting every light red. Think.of all the time and gas we'd save if the lights were synchroed(sp?) so that at normal driving speed, once you've waited through one stop, all or most turn green just as you approach them.

Also, those stupid "objects appear just after you hit them" mirrors... if the manufacturer wants to put something on a truck, why not make it something useful?

You probably didn't have to add 'I didn't see'. Cause when I see a spider web, I duck, go around or tear it down.
And how is it that the closest trees can be ten foot apart and the web is going to be across your trail?

Excellent point Larro - as I wouldn't voluntarily walk face first into one!! I too agree that it's mysterious where these webs seem to randomly appear with no particular place to anchor themselves!

After all this rain, prolly around 6 inches yesterday, the commode starts gurgling.

We have a nice heavily wooded city park with trails all around through it, and the worst part of taking our little dog for a walk in the woods is those danged webs that I don't see.

All the tacked on fees...

Examples...

Buy a quart of paint, pay an impact fee.

Buy a 2x4 and pay an impact fee

Buy a tire and pay a impact fee

Have a city address and pay a 7% Cell Phone Tax

etc...

Bird--my thinking over the years is that those who can, do and those who can't, teach. Probably could start a fight with that, and it certainly doesn't apply in all cases but I think it makes a lot of sense.

That's a mighty broad stroke, don't you think? Why would anyone want to do when you can make three to four times the salary teaching? And, to narrow my brush stroke. . . of course, that's not true in every case. But in my case, courseware/multimedia development, instructional design, and teaching have been a very lucrative career. I have no intention of fighting about it, but I'd even bet you would be proud of a son or daughter who became a teacher. Of course, there are plenty of good and bad teachers out there too.

Hmm. . . lots of left coast annoyances in that list. I think I'd get "fee'd up" with that place and move.
