Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do. - Page 1296 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

A lot of those athletes that go back to school do it b/c they come from a poor household and many of them are the 1st person in their family to go to college.

They go back to honor a promise they made to their parents or themselves.

Exactly why it shouldn't piss me off, but does nonetheless (sorta).

Just staying on topic.

I'd LMAO though if one of these guys who didn't finish college, retires from the game and goes for a position within the organization and the HR director has to tell them hard pass because they never finished that Sociology major.

How every dog/cat rescue uses "forever home " when one gets adopted.

Brian ****ing May

Its not good enough being a hall of fame guitarist in one of the greatest rock bands of all time, the **** turns around and becomes an astro ****ing physicist. He seems like a really nice guy too.

And the fact he has stuck with the jewfro mullet all this time

**** you Brian May

That I trust a random dentist's opinion about my teeth as little as I do a random mechanic's opinion about my car.

Yeah, that commercial for Microsoft (?) bothers me (though probably should).

"Hey, I'm going to pontificate about how great the world's going to be with AI to an empty theater."

Brilliant message, guys. Roughly the same number of people in the real world are believing that bull**** as are listening in the commercial.

So interesting you brought up Common because I was furious when he appeared on the show Chi. I was just hoping he wouldn’t drag down a better than average show with his ham fisted “acting”. Thankfully he wasn’t in that much and did a better job than I expected, but the whole casting rappers instead of actors thing pisses me off, although I think it should.

And that commercial is cringey. I liked his music tho.

Flying on United in the first time in at least a decade. The security question for the FF registration has drop down menus. What is your favorite ice cream flavor. Vanilla and Vanilla bean are both options.

My wireless mouse has been flashing a red "low battery" light at me for over a week. I just want it to stop working so I can finally change the batteries.

If you're not Mark_K, then just change the batteries and throw the old ones away.

If you're Mark_K, then still change the batteries, but use the old ones in a TV remote or something else until they go completely dead.

Apple changed all their peripherals from battery powered to rechargeable. Was a pita to go back to batteries for a windows keyboard and mouse.
