    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Things labeled "honors". I work at a modest mid-west university and they like to bandy about elite, exclusive things with the "honors" label attached - "honors dorm"; "honors classes"; "honors recitals" etc... I just find it annoying somehow. Shouldn't attending a college or university be...

    Hot Dam! That is simply fantastic for you!!!! How'd you do it?

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Seriously, you need to have a bottle of water in hand every time you walk outside? I dare say the average person isn't going to pass out or otherwise dehydrate during their lunch hour walk.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I thinks that's ridiculous, and it all started after the first Gulf war. Remember the big drive to provide bottled water for the troops in the desert?

    Oh don't I know it! We live in a 3 apartment house and the girl who lives upstairs from us (landlord's niece unfortunately) is about 25 and has the maturity of a ten year old. We were VERY patient for the first couple of weeks (I could tell horror stories - mostly involving 3am) then it only...

    Akubra sizing: I wear a 57.5... What should I order? Shrink or stretch?

    I think, in general, it's best to pad and let shrink rather than stretch.

    Interesting video

    Nice try I'd say, but way short of accurate. It's the thought that counts.

    I hope you're closer to the latter!

    You do realize that Valhalla is a cemetery in St. Louis?

    Sounds like the exit at the grocery store.

    Golden Era Dog Names

    I sure back in the day there were plenty of Irish Setters around named Rusty.

    re those "mobility scooters" Just yesterday I saw a cop chase down a car that didn't stop for a person trying to cross in a marked cross walk in a scooter. The cross had a sign in the middle of the road "yield to pedestrians in cross walk". I wonder if the driver could have argued that the...

    Spitting. How often does the average person really, and I mean really, find the need to spit?

    Restaurants and other service oriented establishments whose employees refer to customers as honey or sweetheart etc. I just had such an encounter at a Subway - after screwing up my bill (overcharging) and continuously calling me sweetheart, I blew up at the employee and asked her not to refer...
