^ Are you aware that studies have show that many companies selling bottled water just use tap water?

They have also said tap water goes through strict health safety checks and bottled water does not. Obviously that isn't a problem if the brand you buy is coming from the city tap lol.

Bottled water has always bugged me. Part of me wants to put strychnine in the bottlewater companies' water.

if they bottled tap water from somewhere else, advertised it as such, and sold it here in southern california, i would still buy it. buying bottled is kind of dumb in a lot of places, but our tap water really tastes terrible here.

people who leave a ****-ton of space in traffic bug me. i found out that one of my friends does this, and he actually thinks it's good for traffic.

Tap water in BC also tastes really bad if drink it right away from the tap. If you keep water in the fridge in one of those water filtration jugs it tastes better. The better taste could simply be a result of the colder temperature, I'm not sure. You should try it though, there is definitely a huge difference between a cup of water from the fridge and one directly from the tap.

The toys my kids get from other people during Christmas / birthday. Number of batteries required for toys: 50. Number of batteries included: 0

50 batteries / 10 battery pack x $9 x 4 times per year x 3 gift events per year x 5 years = $100,500. Or something.

Manufacturers aren't selling toys. They're selling ****ing batteries.


Edit: Not bashing the people buying the presents. They just don't know the game.

What bugs me is when people use all the toilet paper and instead of putting a new roll on they just put it on top of the holder. I wish a horrible death on anyone who does this.

Lowes here has that, but Walmart doesn't yet. Also, the people at Lowes around here can't even use the self checkout. They have to have a cashier at the GD self checkout, otherwise lines form.

I think this falls under "general ridiculous stupidity" mentioned above.

I've thought a lot about this. Do you think battery manufacturers lobby the toy makers, have people AT the toy makers, or what? Because my kids have toys that are nearly IMPOSSIBLE to turn off. There's a company that makes toys that try to draw them back after they've walked away. Like they're playing, pushing buttons that go beep-boop, but then they go play with something else. Like three minutes later the toy's like "See you later!" or makes another sound, attempting to pull them back in. I would be shocked if battery manufacturers didn't at least exert subtle pressure on toy manufacturers to use more batteries.

We obviously attempt to limit battery-operated toys, but you're correct that gifts are a problem. My sister and I actually lashed out at one another by buying annoying toys for each others' children, but we realized that an eye-for-an-eye makes the whole world blind so now there is a truce.

I -really- think battery companies have inputs into the toy making process. To what extent, and in what ways I don't know.

Also, the annoying toys war thing is funny.


Most annoying toy we EVER received was some kind of gift from my aunt that had 4 monkeys each playing a different loud instrument. Not only was it grating on the ears, but it required something ridiculous.....like 12 C batteries.

She hadn't even pulled out of the drive way good when I walked outside and through it in the trash cart.

I should've sent it to you, and you could've won your war.

The progressive lady, the UPS guy with long hair who draws stuff, "Mr. Opportunity", and Bono.

So "sexy" has stuck again. I was checking out a Deli online, and this was in their description:

Delicatessen and Salumeria
Warning: this case could cause nightmares for some vegetarians. We are not your supermarket deli with tired looking cheese and kiddy meats. We are packed full of sexy charcuterie in the Old World Style.

fwiw i have no problem with 'xmas'.
Seeing this in written form is slightly annoying to me, but thousands of times worse is hearing someone actually say "X-mas" or "X-roads". Yeah, X and cross are both one syllable to say. Way to save time there, Speed Racer.

1. its late at night or whatever. traffic is very light.
2. you need to cross the road. so u approach the walkie crossing up ahead(not an intersection).
3. u press the button at the walkie crossing
4. NOW U DECIDE TO LOOK FOR CARS
5. NO ****ING CARS!!!
6. so u cross
7. 30 sec later, i roll up to a red light, and have to stop for no reason other than - you're a dumbass!

i hate ppl that dont think. if i could cull the human species, 90%+ would be gone. 50% of 2p2 u guys arent so bad.
