I go to a new website to look at stuff.

But before I can look at the actual stuff....an AI face pop-up appears and says "Can I help you?"
It blocks the screen.
Like Microsoft Edge advertisements which was already downloaded without my permission.

I can't get rid of it.

"Yeah. You can help me. GTF out of my way."

I'm just buying gas, don't try to sell me crap. Let me fill my tank and be on my way.

There's an OFF button right on the front of the panel...

People that dont carry cash. It always seems to bite them but they dont learn.

^^^ I had two places..Walmart and a local grocery store that I could request additional cash when paying with my credit card.
Since the pandemic...both places quit doing it because of having to use the keypad.

For the umptenth time....freaking smokers!

Why do they always hang around in public places and weed?

How about going somewhere where there aren't other people around before lighting up that stinky nasty smelly freaking cig!

I come out last night with groceries to find some woman standing right next to my truck smoking a cig. I had (as I always do) purposely parked way away from other cars far from the store, thinking I'd be safe. Oh no......they always make their freaking way to you like a freaking magnet.

So I roll my shopping cart about 50' away - further away from the store - and then go back for my truck so I can load my groceries with catching lung cancer. As I'm getting in my truck - she lights up another one. Yup....freaking chain smoker. Then some other dude who parked right in front of me one space over gets out of his truck and starts lighting up. As I'm loading my groceries, there they both are. Standing in the parking lot puffing on their stinky cigs......no regard for anyone else.

How about when you get to the store, you get out and go inside and do what you came there for. And when done, come out get in your vehicle and leave - like normal people do.

First pandemics. Then the election. Now Christmas music. Not just any Christmas music, a new, more virulent strain which sounds like the singers are being held at gunpoint to produce anything, or else be shot.

People that wear a Superman shirt and are not in shape.
People that have a Superman tattoo and are not in shape.
People who eat lunch in their car, in the employee parking lot.

Commuters who tailgate me 2 car lengths back, on the way to work with their bright lights in my mirrors, (I'm doing 62 in a 55 zone). The very next day I follow the same pickup truck at a proper distance, but only doing 54 mph in the same stretch of county road.

^^^The same addled incompetent who insists he travel in the next lane while stationed/travelling in your blind spot - probably been mentioned afore.

Seat belts that don't recoil out of the way properly.

Tim Horton's take out cups where the covers leak all over you and your seats.

The gutter company ad on TV, that's going to fix your gutters and lifetime warranty. "Leaf Filter Co " Hate that ad, makes men and their wives
look stupid.

Car commercials that show SUV's zipping down gravel roads/trails like they are on I-95.

No one with an experience off road does that.

Get ON my lawn!

Por_sha911 01-13-2021 07:54 AM

Actually, if you look closely, those vehicles going down muddy or dusty roads have no dirt on them when they come to a stop! Amazing technology that keeps the car showroom clean. It is a know fact that a lot of commercials are done with CGI (cars doing all kinds of maneuvers indoors or around each other). They have a basic rig with the car's wheels and then CGI puts the car on top.

^^^ That is so cool!

Tin Foil Hat Alert:
It makes you wonder if the video you see on the evening news is CGI or not...
(no I don't believe it has been done yet)
