Eh, it's not that bad. I remember the old show, and granted, the new one goes way out on a limb with all the background storyline, but you gotta have that drama to catch the attention of the masses nowadays. Its just the network's way of keeping up appearances. I do agree though that there needs to be a LOT more asskickin' goin' on...

They do that intentionally to make sure you pay for extra tortillas. I've gotten dinged on my bill for $2 a pop for just 4 more. There's enough crap on that skillet to feed a small family, and they expect you to not eat it all in the restaurant.

I despise ranch dressing/dip/flavored items. Its been overdone on so many things that it has become cliché in a sense. What ever happened to original ideas in food? The last thing I've encountered that was original and worthy of improving/marketing was the "experimental" Doritos flavor that was in the black bag (I can't remember what they actually called it). The flavor reminded me of a cheeseburger loaded with pickles, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, and mustard. They're not on the shelves anymore, so hopefully they've come up with a name for them and will have them back out again soon.

I can't stand walking into a bathroom where someone is on the phone in the stall while running a low-altitude bombing attack, that's just wrong on so many levels. Not to mention I've been on the other end of one of those calls, and it sounded like the person was talking in a tin can...

I can't stand having to try and talk to someone at a store who's got a ring hanging off their lip, or off their eyebrow, or even worse, some hideous tattoo across their neck. Its detracting, if not disgusting.

I have been on the lucky wagon on this one too... I've never gotten any of these emails with these two trampy looking things. Although, I get a lot of the gibberish emails trying to entice me to buy stocks... Worst one ever: the subject line read "Chablis with Hookworm" WTF?!?!

This totally chaps my @$$, especially where I work, a non-climate controlled environment. Here when someone screws in a monitor cable, give it a few weeks in the heat, and it's practically welded to the case.

I think the whole viewpoint on food throughout the US should be changed. Lower the fat, get rid of all the preservatives, hormones in the meat, salting the p!ss out of everything that comes down the pike. I work in an area that's surrounded by nothing but fast food places, and that's your only option when you can't sit down for an hour lunch. Granted there are a few more nicer places like McAlister's Deli, Abner's, Lenny's Sub Shop (All Southern Originals), but what you pay for is outrageous. I stick to my cheap-a$$ Subway sandwich which takes about 5 minutes to get and 10 to eat, and my a$$ doesn't swell up like a balloon from all the fatty mess that everything else at McDonkeys or Taco Hell or Burger Sling is swimming in daily.

In the state of TN, anyone can refuse service to a patron, period, end of sentence. I've seen it happen many times at restaurants, convenience stores, even the Mal-Wart and Targé. As far as you not being happy about the repairs, you should have just contacted Apple directly regarding this and let them handle it appropriately. You broke it, you deflowered the virgin, you crapped in your own nest, you took a whiz on your own left foot standing at the urinal, and you might as well deal with those facts. End this senseless ranting because it's gone from a complaint to an outright atrocity.

Being a typical male, I have no problems opening cereal boxes. What I don't like about cereal boxes is the fact that the inner liners do not seal back. Hence the reason I buy bagged cereals. They're more economical, taste no different and the bags have a zip closure.

Last time I got that runaround, it was at one of those "convenience" non-emergency medicine excuses for a doctor's office. I had gotten a cut at work and they forcefully sent me there, what a waste. By the time I got there, filled out the ridiculous amount of paperwork, sat there for 20 minutes waiting and hadn't seen a soul call anyone back to the triage area. I was one of 4 people there. Finally after about 35 minutes of waiting, they called me back. Did the temp/weight/stupid questions I had already answered on the f#@king dissertation I had to write at the front desk. Then she says, "someone will be with you shortly" and then proceeds to shove me back out the door into the waiting area... "OH HELL NO!" I said to her loud enough for everyone around to hear. She got snippy with me and I just sat back down and told her "You called me back here, now go get the doctor..." and I refused to move. A few minutes later, the doctor came up to me and asked me what the problem was with an annoyed look on his face. I proceeded to explain that I was sent by my workplace because of a simple cut (that by that time had stopped bleeding and started to seal back on itself) and that I had been there for damn near an hour, give me a bandage, a letter, and let me go back to work. That's when it got interesting... I happened to notice the whole time he was talking to me, he had one of his arms behind his back, like he was hiding something. Turns out he was hiding half a Subway sandwich which he was eating at the time I got called back there. This put me in a rage because at the time I arrived earlier, over an hour ago, I saw this bastard walking in the side door with the Subway bag in his hand, not realizing he was the doctor. Granted I can't foul the guy for taking his lunchbreak, but at 4 in the afternoon, with people waiting, and the office closing at 4:30, he could have done the honorable thing and taken care of the people who needed him more than he needed his f#@king sandwich.

I lived in Atlanta for almost a year, and left because of the traffic. From my driveway to work was exactly 15 miles, and it took me an hour to get to work, and almost two to get home every day. I finally got fed up with it thinking "take the 400/75 route"... WRONG!! That day I got stuck in traffic for over 3 hours, 100 degree heat, and got a ticket for indecent exposure for having to get out and take a leak on the side of the road while waiting for 45 minutes in the same place.

I agree 100% wholeheartedly on this one... I used to support 8 different models of PDA's and they all had different cables. If there were a standardization put in effect, the manufacturers would obviously lose money because you could go buy a cheap knockoff cable at your local biggie-mart instead. FYI, for those of you still using Motorola RAZR or similar phones with the mini-usb plug on them, I found that the $5 PSP cables sold at Wal-Mart are the exact same cable the mobile carriers want to sell you for $29.95. It's all horsecrap...

I find it amusing and sometimes interesting at what some people will complain about, and their reasoning behind it. No matter how trivial or critical it may be, or their purpose for doing so. This forum gives people a place to b!tch about things they normally just would let slide by, and I think it's a great idea. Whining about your momma is just ignorant though...

I USED to keep jumps in my car, til I found out that if you let some asshat use them and their car's electrical system has already screwed the pooch, therefore taking out yours in conjuction with it (blowing lid off battery, sparks, the whole works). I bought a high-capacity booster pack and keep in my car now, and use it quite frequently (makes good use at a campsite when you need a few extra volts). That way if I need it, I have it, if someone else needs it, they can blow themselves up and leave me out of it.

Some of us had to be at work at 5am this morning....

I live in the South... Memphis, TN to be exact. Here it's the common thing to be asked about whether or not you want sweet or unsweetened tea. I myself am glad I have the option since I am insulin-dependent diabetic and have been since I was a child. 30 years without sugar and you get used to it. On the opposite end of the stick, I HATE restaurants that have specialty drinks, but they're all loaded with sugar. McAlister's Deli is a popular one around here, they have damn good tea (sweet or not), and fresh-made lemonade daily, but the lemonade is so syrupy sweet I can't even stand a single sip of it. Granted it would have to be sweetened with aspartame or the other stuff, but at least give me the option of getting it since I like lemonade. And finally, when you go to a restaurant, and you get a lazy waiter/waitress that doesn't bother to tell you that they're out of diet soda or regular tea at the moment, and they bring you the regular stuff. That just puts me off to no end.

This literally drives me batshit... If I saw this at my workplace (I'm the IT manager), I would lock their accounts immediately and force them to call the helpdesk to get a case number, which is then routed to me here locally, and then make them wait until I determine some wacked-out password they will never remember, and forbid them to write it down again. They can change their passwords at will, the policy isn't really strict, but for god sakes, don't leave it out for everyone to get hold of...

I hate this whole thing from the start. I live in the US, we should all speak English, and if you don't, get the hell out or learn. What sucks even more is when you call a company's service department for a warranty replacement/repair/etc. and you get the "Press 1 for English" horsecrap, and then when you finally get someone on the phone, it's a speedtalker who says "Thank you for calling (insert company here), my name is Ajawanamabani, but you can call me Joe..." and they can't understand ANY of the many of the different dialects across the nation, much less speak decent English. So you wind up explaining yourself to them 5 different times, and they still get it wrong, and you wind up getting more pissed off than you started having to deal with this shyte.

I can't understand how they've started calling cellphones lately. And it's always the automated ones that "determine" whether or not you're an answering machine or a live person. 90% of the time the damn things think you're an answering machine and go on with their automated shyte and you can't politely tell a live person on the other end at the responsible company to piss off. I've actually gotten to the point where I interrupt them, asking them such things as "how much do you make an hour?" "what's the environment there like?" "do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend, you sound cute/hot/sexy/etc..." and usually they get so flustered they can't keep the call going. Some determined bastards will just cut you off and keep going, and those are the ones that I just lay into with the FCC regulations to remove my number/name from their calling lists and a polite "thank you and have a f#@king great day!"

I wouldn't vote for anyone in the US who's name doesn't at least SOUND somewhat American.... I don't keep up with the news that much since I don't watch TV that much and listen to subscription radio services at the office. When I heard the name Barack Obama at the office not too long ago, I asked them "who is this schmuck, another friggin' terrorist we've gotta hunt down now?" I hate politicians like I hate dogcrap on the bottom of your shoes at a picnic...

I've been in several incidents where some fool on the road jacking their jaws on a phone stuck to their face pulled over onto me at high speed, no blinker, no looking in the mirror, NOTHING! I use a headset in my car/truck, I commute an hour to work every day, and it's nice to be able to get in the car and talk while driving if you're planning things before you get home, but I pay attention to the road more than I do the phone. It's a law here, you get caught yapping on the phone without a hands-free option, the officer can willingly give you a ticket with a fine of up to $100, BUT THEY NEVER DO IT!!! People nowadays don't pay attention to what they are doing, much less in the car. If it's not the cellphones, it's the loud ass music that nobody else wants to hear.
