Here the word is "Baddie" rather than derogatory (or Derog or simply Bad). In my vintage stereo hobby an example is "Yammie" rather than Yamaha. The word "baddie" needs to go, unless you're three and have awful credit. pacemaker67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cv91915 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 About four mornings a week, about this time, a windowless van drives down our street on the wrong side of the road, turns around in the cul-de-sac in front of our house going clockwise (wrong direction), and then drives away. This entire street is only one block long. Newspaper delivery? I would think that would be daily, plus I don't see any papers in the driveways of the handful of homes I can see out the front window of our house.

cv91915 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 On the way into a restaurant at lunch time the paternal unit of the family walking in front of us coughed up some lung butter and spit it out onto the parking lot. Then his two kids saw the coffee place next to the restaurant and started shrieking "Starbies! Starbies!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndyPoolPlayer Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Okay I'm calling myself out on one annoyance that others have told me: Those who refer to their favorite sports teams in conversation as "We", as if I am on the team's payroll. I'm guilty of this as I refer to the Chicago Bears as "we" especially when I converse with the Green Bay Packers stockholder in the office.

cv91915 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Next time you're at a "farmers market" take note of the stock that is sitting behind the produce vendors. Mark my words, if you look at enough of them you will notice giant bags of onions from Costco. Edited November 13, 2018 by cv91915 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTSoxFan Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 My Black Friday annoyance for today: I purchased a new MacBook 5 days ago. Was actually just delivered today. I was on Apple's website today and noticed they were giving a $200 Apple GC with a MacBook order for BF. I reach out to chat and ask if they can give me one retroactively since I could just buy another MacBook and then return the one I ordered, and instead of seeing the logic, they forced me to buy a second one and I will return the first. So I waste the time of the person in the factory assembling/packaging it, the cost of International Shipping, and my time to return the first one, instead of being smart and just issuing the GC.

TheVig Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Moron holiday travelers who don’t plan for the worst, especially canceled flights. Telling the airlines you have to be back to work on Monday is not going to change your prospects.<<<<<<<I heard this statement a thousand times yesterday. Seeing a family get further bumped to the bottom of the pile to make room for Concierge Key holders was priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
