Once and a while, gota wander and lerk to other MC forums. The one I devorced from now , has comercials on each post, I guess there members don't matter , just the money . Also when I visit that site, my compuke seems to lock up for a while. Go figure.
The membership and forum here is definitely high class in its own way. Congrats to all and it's administration.

What gets my goat? for starters, the person who has a buggy full of groceries IE... steaks, beer, damn expensive food and they pull out food stamps and than pulls out a stack of hundreds to pay for beer and cigs. People who ride down the road with their DAMN blinker on and never turn, Sitting at a red light and my heart is skipping beats because the base next to me is shaking me.

1. Stupid users
2. Users that think they have the most important job in the world and everything they need is urgent
3. Users that do not respond when you email them about a ticket that they have submitted
4. When you send a list of troubleshooting steps to a user asking them to reply back with the results and they reply back with something totally different
5. Users that want you to do everything for them and cant be bothered to do their part
6. Users that think they know how to fix their issue so instead of giving you the symptoms they state whet they think they need. (most of the time they are incorrect)
7. Users that have been told not to do something, they do it anyway and screw something up and expect you to fix their screw up ASAP
8. Users that flat out lie to your face about how something got broken


Basically users in general
I think it is because I have been fixing other people crap for almost 40 years now and I am just tired of it

Ah man....I forget who said that. Was it Ron White? The mind is just drawing a blank and I like White so it's the only one popping into my feeble mind.

Supermarket check out 8 items or less [Express lane]... Old person in front ' I'm old i don't have to count' And puts down 15 + items... Then take's the old peoples change purse... Only to find out they don't have enough exact change so they have to give the cashier bills any way..

Supermarkets don't need a express lane' They need an old peoples only lane..

I worked a help desk for years.

When I retired I refused to look a computer for 15 years. They caught up and passed where I was by then so I'm the dumb stupid user now but still get frustrated with some of the things I see. But ain't my job now and love it.

People that ride your bumper for a few miles then take dangerous chances to pass like their butts are on fire.

Then, once they are in front they either go the same speed as you or force you to take a mile per hour or two off your cruise control.

people who don't pick up their dog shit in my yard. why not let your sweet pooch shit in your own yard? it's gotten so bad that one neighbor refused to pick up after his dog so shovel in hand I deposited on his front porch.

you know we're almost at the bottom of the swirling drain when you have to walk behind your dog on a leash and pick up his/her shit pile in a plastic bag.

Sounds like you should lock the door and retire.

Not later, now ! If you don't, the stress is gonna kill you.

Austin traffic and construction... anytime, anywhere! Everyone loves it here, but we're bursting at the seams.

No Kidding, I get out there every now and again. And every time I am so thankful that I have worked from home since 2002. I would go nuts in that traffic every day, twice a day.
