Why are people so, so hard-headed and don't just google this crap?haha.. i think that too. My parents trying to figure out by talking to each other and thinking what actor was in a particular movie.. or when was a movie released. I just google it on phone and save them hours of confusion.

when you go to a web page and it has some video ad running, basically ruining whatever else you're doing at the time

I have three male coworkers like this...
except no Google, just work stuff and they refuse to listen to me so they keep trying other stuff until they run out of options and finally try what I suggest
I've gotten to the point with these guys that I don't even try to help any more
I don't know whether it's the fact that I'm female or that they are just mulish

<insert primal scream>

Why does someone who reads something on the internet think they know more than someone else who works/lives in the middle of it daily?

ETA: This has nothing to do with the google referenced posts above. Totally different internet rant.

In a left turn lane, green light. One car coming the other direction, slowly, probably 30-40 carlengths away. Car in front of me insists on waiting for it, then squeaks through the amber light. Making me wait another light cycle.

I swear, the car coming the other direction was so far away the car in front and me and I could have made it with time to spare.

why are you working today

Yeah...

People standing in the long line at the bank who wait until they get to the counter to fill out their deposit/withdrawal slips.

People at the grocery checkout line who wait until the cashier tells them the total, then begin rummaging in their bags/pockets for their wallet/checkbook.

they have deposit slips elsewhere besides behind the counter?

My TiVo still refuses to get updates unless I go through guided setup.

Maybe I should just stop watching TV and read more.

ITA. I lived in an apartment for 2 years with a dog downstairs that was left alone in the apartment for extended periods of time and barked pretty much 24/7. I complained nonstop to the management but the issue was never resolved. It was very disappointing because the management was generally good and this dog bothered a lot of people. There were quite a few famous people in the building, so maybe she was "someone" and that was why they didn't evict her. Many of the dogs in my current building go to doggy daycare, which is a wonderful idea IMO.

eBay idiots who bid things up long before the auction ends.

eBay lowballers. In the last 2 weeks I've had one buyer generously offer me $60 shipped for an item that ended up selling for $135 plus $15 shipping, and another offer me $20 for an item that is currently at $52 with 14 watchers and 3 days left that usually sells for $90 and costs $300+ new.

No offense, but "says you".

Protip for driving: when it's so foggy you can't see more than a car or two in front of you, you might want to turn on your headlights.

I'm at home today: had a flat tire, it wouldn't take air, fix-a-flat wouldn't help, the tire was dead dead dead. I had to take off the tire and put on the spare, and drive to a shop, got four new tires, as all were near the end of their life. I'm 50 minutes from work so by the time I got that done there was no point in going in. So, day off, four new tires. As disasters go, this one isn't bad.
