Stupid Pet Peeves

Comcast Xfinity X1

I started watching the game at 3:40 from my DVR. In the third quarter, with about 3 some odd minutes left Hayward gets the ball off a steal and is on a fast break, about one second before he gets to the basket my DVR catches up with the live broadcast. For whatever reason I get kicked out of the recording. So I start the recording again. It starts me at the very beginning of the game. I FFW X4 to where I was and again, with Hayward driving to the basket off the fast break it kicks me out. I exit and do some stuff and think maybe I should try again. Same thing. So finally I just decide to go to the live broadcast. Live broadcast is Alema and Big T welcoming me to the post game show. I spent the last few minutes of the third and all of the fourth dicking around with my recording. I ended up recording the rebroadcast and catching up. It kicked me out right when the Jazz started putting the game away.

**** you Comcast!

This happens to me quite often too.
Luckily I'm usually pretty close to live tv so I can just get out of my recording, go to the actual game channel and rewind to where I got kicked out at.

It sure does suck though
 
Nickelcades business model.

I was drinking beer and eating shrooms w the guy that owns the ones around here. I ask him why he does not get rid of his stupid entry fee. He goes off on chuck e cheese and how stupid they are and putting him out of business by not charging a entry fee. Starts claiming anti trust and ranting on the attorney generals office. I told him I would spend hundreds at his shop if not for the dumb entry fee. I grabbed a few more pieces of wood for the fire and walked off for a piss and another cap.
 
When I turn into the proper lane but the idiot behind me turns into the wrong lane and then tries to pass me. Especially if I need to change lanes after the turn in order to make another turn soon.

I purposefully cut off a cop who did this using a straight lane to make a left hand turn, as well as several other brain dead state employees in my building. I'm shocked how irate some of them get, not knowing that a) they were in the wrong and b) we work together so maybe they should temper their temper. Then again, they are state employees so what do I expect...



A related driving pet peeve of mine is the jackwads who cross the white line when getting on to the freeway instead of waiting their turn. This seems to happen all the time when their is a huge line of cars. So now I have to slow down and wait to merge (that is their problem, right? people going too slow entering their freeway).

And to piggy back on this, when there are two left turning lanes and the guy in the furthest left has to hit the gas station on the right hand corner. So he either stops in the road waiting for traffic to pass or just cuts everyone off and stops to make the turn.

I don't know why we don't just shoot people like that.
