I disagree. I enjoyed the hell out of the old Top Gear video posted, and there have been others I've enjoyed.

I would stay home if -
She would write down a list.
Remember to bring the list to the store
Remember her reading glasses, so that she could actually read the list.

Lately, I've become a substitute for reading glasses and the list.
"What's the expiration date on this yogurt?"
"What else do we need?"

When she goes alone, it seems to take about 2 hours longer than if we go together. I can just imagine her wandering the aisles, trying to remember what to buy, and squinting at the labels.

I like looking for new flavors of soup. Leave me alone.

After six options, the last option is how to send the message! 🤬

My wife is a saint. All I have to do is just take her shopping. She insists that I stay in the car. Win win.

Ok, pensioners running errands during lunch hours… bank, food store, post office, gas, etc etc
Stay home during MY lunch! … yeah, I said it.

I post videos that I think would be of interest to the people on this forum. After all, it is a car forum, right? I personally do not gain anything from anyone viewing a video that I posted. "Click bait" is when you "click" on a video, thinking it is about a specific subject and turns out to be something else. [emoji848]

The proliferation of battery sizes and types.
I needed a new battery for my key fob for my wife's Golf. Opened the fob and thought: Oh, I have one of those!. Nope. What I had was CR 2032s for my guitar tuner. The fob takes a Cr2025.
The granddaughter has several toys that are battery powered. When one needed replacements, I told her to retire the toy after discovering the cost of replacement batteries exceeded the cost of the toy.

People selling wheels without stating bolt pattern and offset, or what car it came off.

Today's pet peeve...
You do not need to block the LH turn lane by leaving two car lengths between you, and the car in front of you, at a stop light! If you're that unsure of spatial awareness, don't drive.

This is a rampant issue where I live. I suspect it's due to so many older drivers.

I have a manual trans. I pull up to the end of the line. All those with auto trans in front randomly pull further ahead 6 inches. Before long, the cumlative effect eventually becomes 2 car lengths. Aw c'mon, I'm not going to clutch-shift-clutch-shift on account of that.

I drive a manual too, but this isn't what happens. This is SWFL, aka God's waiting room. None of these people are driving manuals. They're driving Buick Enclaves, or other midsize SUVs. These are the same people that approach a stoplight like an inch worm. They stop way back, and then pull forward 20 feet at a time, stopping each time, until finally deciding they might be close enough.

I also suspect these same people are the ones claiming my car is too loud (it's stock). :)

Wonder if they make bifocal windshields for the Florida impaired? [emoji38] [emoji1787]

They think it's okay when they are the only car that makes it through the advanced green!

Drivers who don't seem to realize their vehicle will indeed go around corners at the posted limits.

We all have those little things that just get under our skin, right? For me, it's when people leave their dirty dishes everywhere or when my headphones get tangled up. It’s the little things that can really test your patience.

GoFundMe.

While I understand there are many situations that community support is reasonable and needed, I see a huge % of GFM being people who are 1) begging, 2) chasing a dream they can't afford/didn't save for, 3) were too cheap or dumb to insure.

Being fiscally responsible and selling insurance for a living, this really gets my goat.

Rant over.

It ticks me off when they die ... and their ticks.

That's all I got ...

Rant over :)

I had a guy that worked on my team. His son was graduating basic in Texas, and he wanted to be there. So he opened a GFM to raise money for the trip. It was written as if he was your typical, salt of the earth, hard scrabble income, kinda guy.

Thing is, the guy was actually an extremely well paid software developer. It was impossible that going was beyond his means.

Or the client that wants you to make a donation to his grown daughter's dragon boat fundraiser and his grown son's hockey fundraiser because he spent $250 at my business last year.
He can see the donations on-line and keeps asking me when I'm going to donate. (He's not asking for a $20 donation either)

^^^Extortion for his $250 account? Let's see, you make 10-30%. Let's say 30% to be super generous. That is $75 before taxes. You have $40 left after tax?

Even a $20 donation would be criminal.

Don't do it.
