cv91915 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) Discussions about cards with "Chip & PIN" or "Chip & Signature" technology, which do not include a prominent statement about how horribly inconvenient they are to use compared to a card with a magnetic strip, a statement that the only real benefits are to the issuer, the payment network and/or the merchant, and a statement that if you don't travel internationally you don't need one. Optionally, for the last item, it's also ok to suggest having a Chip & ____ card in the sock drawer, to be used for infrequent visits to other countries. Edited August 9, 2014 by cv91915 Quote
GetWisdom Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 After giving a concise, accurate, and direct answer to a (usually ridiculous) question, hearing "So, what I'm hearing from you is..." followed by a completely inaccurate summary of whatever the stated answer was, often changed to represent whatever unrealistic, fantasy-land answer was actually desired by the person who wasted my time with the ridiculous inquiry in the first place.

cv91915 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Tourists in Hawaii who wear Hawaiian shirts. Hint: You don't look like a local. Also, further demerits if you are a couple and your Hawaiian shirts are identical. Capital punishment is in order if you're doing this in any of the photos: Quote
Beachgal Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Tourists in Hawaii who wear Hawaiian shirts. Hint: You don't look like a local. I've had family in Hawaii for years. Mostly true about the Hawaiian shirts but the local women often wear a muumuu, usually in the more muted prints. I hate them however! Quote
CTSoxFan Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Two that drive me nuts, usually in spoken form: You ASK a question, you don't AXE one... When you are giving more detail you are being SPECIFIC. The PACIFIC is an ocean. Also: Bumper stickers...and especially those stupid window stickers showing how many kids you have. I don't care that you're late night Budweiser fueled romps produced 3 future Walmart cashiers... Edited August 10, 2014 by CTSoxFan Quote

Also, a new generation of d-bags are putting "Baby on Board" signs in the windows of their cars. Quote

cv91915 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Web sites that want me to download their %$@^$%^@ app, especially the ones that are relentless about it. Web sites that will not let me view the full site on a tablet (or phone, if desired). Quote
cv91915 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Webinar I'm on one of these again, and they're calling it this awful word. Quote

Web sites that will not let me view the full site on a tablet (or phone, if desired). Agree with these 100%. Use my phone a lot during the day on websites. Always choose full site. A few of them force mobile/tablet...then make you go through a tweaks to make it work. I don't like tapatalk, either Quote
