I hate my life hardcore at some point pretty much every time I play a vp progressive. That rant was peak that moment, perhaps if I had been the one vaping, terapined style, I would have kept calm no rant. Come to think of it, probably only saw maybe one person vaping in a whole two weeks down south, must not be as widespread there.
Quote: AxelWolfI really don't feel comfortable sitting a laptop directly over my balls for long(if windmills can cause cancer just imagine what a laptop will do to your balls). While traveling and staying at hotels, using the removable glass turn table from the microwave and placing it on the bed under your laptop will help keep it from overheating.
When using the glass turn table in conjunction with the ironing board over the bed really makes for a great set up. You got to macgyver stuff whenever you can.
Exactly what do you feel comfortable placing over your balls in a hotel room?

Quote: PuckerbuttMy pet peeve is when DJs say Rocktober instead of October. Other than that - I can handle about anything.
Here in Oklahoma we have a music fest called Rocklahoma that's mostly washed up metal bands. Yuck to the festival, and the name.

I like playing at a table of smoking Asians. It's like a budget vacation to Macau.
It also irritates me when someone always tries to one-up you, one-up you, one-up you.Quote: Jimmy2TimesPeople that repeat themselves.
That is my pet peeve, my pet peeve.
The festival started today and I'm about 30 minutes away from Pryor, OK right now. Not really my type of music but I like how the town pulls together and tries to make all the visitors feel welcome. (I've been to a different music festival there before.)Quote: TigerWuHere in Oklahoma we have a music fest called Rocklahoma that's mostly washed up metal bands. Yuck to the festival, and the name.

On one of my most recent flights, before I had even stepped out of the walkway from between the plane to the airport building someone was vaping and sending a large cloud out among everyone who had to pass through. It was just so rude. One of my best friends of all time vapes, and with all the positivity I hold towards him I still think "wow, he looks like such a tool" every time he does it.
That can't be good for you.
I know that the mentally defective use them to stir in sugar or whatever but put it on the side so I ain't drinking melted plastic.

That is me, I will get tired of waiting for the wife while she is shopping and I just go sit in the air conditioned car and listen to a ball game.
Quote: Gabes22Those paper straws. Can they make them so a) they do not disintegrate into your drink and b) cause your drink to taste like paper?
Once they become more prolific they'll work all the bugs out. Increased customer feedback and economies of scale and all that.

I am kinda shocked the current version made it through product testing
Quote: billryanWhy do adults use straws in the first place? Do you use them at home?
- to avoid touching the glass with your mouth membranes of not so well washed glass in the greasy spoon restaurant?
-to be able to walk around with a lid on a drink and not spill it?
-blow bubbles?
Quote: billryanWhy do adults use straws in the first place? Do you use them at home?
I agree, I hate straws. About the only time it makes sense to me is in the car because I want a lid on the drink so I don't spill.

really seems to help..
Quote: rxwine- to avoid touching the glass with your mouth membranes of not so well washed glass in the greasy spoon restaurant?
If you question the cleanliness of the glass, why are you drinking anything out of it? Go somewhere else.
They were forced to start using paper straws in NY and they acted like Hitler was reborn. They're not bad and too many wind up floating in the ocean. There are metal straws and they're kind of cool to use. No perceived loss of temperature drawing the liquid to the mouth.Quote: DRichI agree, I hate straws.

When you see the waiter picking up the cups with a claw-like grip over the top, you appreciate how the straw keeps your lips off the just touched surface.
Do they make "bendy" paper straws?

Every time someone waits for my parking spot, I think back to one of Rig’s posts(can’t find it right now), for the love of all that is good, I will not rush for you! As if you can’t see the frickin kid I’m buckling in(in my case)!! I might even take some extra time to do what I was planning to record on my phone!

Yeah. Unless it's actually hard to find a spot, which is very rare....
Just drive till you find an open spot! Why is that hard?

I agree
I drive a full size pickup
No way I'm looking for a space to squeeze in close

Man up and cut your soda pop with some alcohol. Either it will kill the germs or you won't care after a couple of refills.
Quote: GWAEI always laugh at people driving around for a spot at the mall. You are about to walk about 3 miles in a mall yet you are worried about 100 yards.
It's even worse when you see them doing the same thing at the YMCA or Snap Fitness.

I'm shocked that there are any cars at the mall. I didn't know people still went to malls. I've probably only been to a mall once in the last five years.

If you give credit to people thinking forward to the exit when they are carrying 6 bags then it makes some sense. When I park I choose to opt for easy exit as opposed to easy entry. Sometimes those are the same spots but in certain configurations they are vastly different ones
Quote: mcallister3200my chips were labeled jalapeño on the outside but are clearly sour cream and onion.
normally, I have no patience for bad beat stories. but that is the worst one I ever heard. Sorry man.
Checked into a hotel last night and I think everyone who was at the counter before me was still there after me. What the hell were they all doing?
I realize that slightly more than half the population is genetically programmed to ask pointless questions endlessly, but I still think you'd be able to kind of step back and realize the situation and try to limit yourself a bit.
A laptop. I don't think it's healthy. I have no real data or reason for thinking this. If there's even a slight chance it could cause a problem I would like to avoid it. So ya, whenever possible, I avoid putting a laptop on my lap..Quote: gordonm888Exactly what do you feel comfortable placing over your balls in a hotel room?
I kinda had a feeling you were into mall shopping.Quote: GWAEI always laugh at people driving around for a spot at the mall. You are about to walk about 3 miles in a mall yet you are worried about 100 yards.
When im next in line and some person wants to have a 20 minute conversation with the employee after they are done with whatever business they were their for in the first place. No one cares about your life problems or what your ugly grandchildren look like. Get your business done and get the F*** out of line already. We all just want to rent our car, check in to our hotel , get our player's card, or deposit our money in the bank etc.Quote: RigondeauxPeople who dilly dally when they get to the front of a long line. You JUST stood in line for 20 minutes. 1) You didn't already think about what kind of coffee you want? 2) You don't realize that all of the people behind you are dealing with the frustration you JUST dealt with?

These are about right. Definitely run into people with no clue at the airport.

One of my best friends was an Anti-crime cop in the 1980s. They'd ride around looking for trouble and would keep their Motorola radios between their legs as they drove. Several members of his squad came down with testicular cancer and NYPD tried to say it was because they drank too much coffee.
Even worse, when you make a reservation and they don't even have what you ordered.

Quote: RSI still can't figure out why the hell it takes so long to rent a car or checkin at a hotel. This isn't the 1800's when computers used to be slow. I should be able to give them my ID & CC, they look up my reservation, then give me my room key or w/e I need for the rental car, then I'm on my way. Maybe sign here and there, and that's it.

Are you a member of their frequent renter/guest program? Most rental car places, if you have status, let you walk up to a car and go. At the exit, you give them your driver's license, they do 1 minute of paperwork and you go.
With Marriott hotels, you can check in on the app early and they have a key ready to go for you when you arrive.

No I’m not on any of those programs. But that’s kind of beside the point — why does the check in process take so ****ing long? I’m not talking about waiting in line, I’m talking about once you get up to the counter. It should be as simple as:
-Type name into computer
- “You’re in a XYZ room or ABC car? Checking out / returning car on mm/dd/yyyy? Right?”
- “Yes that’s correct.”
- “Are you interested in any of the following ways to get scammed and we’ll upcharge the s*** out of these services for your convenience?”
- “No”
- Scan credit card, print room keys, GTFO
- “Have a good day”
- “You too”
