THINGS THAT ANNOY YOU

For me, those farkin' Enterprise commercials...

The guy (and the girl looks like his friggin' sister) answers "both" as to which lingerie to bring on their upcoming excursion. When obviously the answer is "neither", unless it is in fact his sister, when the answer is "a gawdang nun's habit, you freak!!!"

I like the Enterprise commercials (or maybe it is Hertz??) where the lady is on the phone and says "I'm at the repair shop" and there is this HUGE BANNER behind her that says "REPAIR SHOP." I absolutely adore the idea that there would be a huge banner that says REPAIR SHOP at the repair shop. It would be like walking into Piggly Wiggly and seeing a sign over the meats that says GROCERY STORE. Just strikes me as hilarious.

No, that is Enterprise as well. I'm a farking President's Club Member at Hertz and don't get treated half as well.

The "repair shop" commercial with the hot hispanic chic is 100X more believable than the one with the caucasian girl and the 80 year old dude lunging for the 14/32nd wrench to stop the steam flow pouring out of the engine in the background.

So wouldn't it actually be a 7/16th?

just sayin'

Exactly. My 3 year old was really looking forward to it, it's the first time she's been interested in something like this. And they don't hardly show the balloons.

You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits, jumping around there on stage, half-naked with your little outfits. Ya know? You're a... You're out there jumping around and I'm just sitting here with my beer. So, what am I supposed to do? What you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you're trying to - why why are you leaping around there, throwing those things all up in my, over there in my face? What do you want, Lindsay? Tell me what you want? Well, I'll tell you what you want, you want nothing. You want nothing. All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone, and to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is - is just bogus.

Flawed polls really annoy me. For instance, I went to vote on that California Happy Cow poll. Can you believe there is no 'Send them all to Bovine University' option?

I like how he says he is reading them in no particular order and then proceeds to read off some of the biggest cities in America. Like a random selection would result in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, LA,

Here is what fucking annoys me.

When you pickup a jackass friend at noon and go to the finals of the preseason NIT and he gets so drunk at a pub in NYC he upsets a bunch of austrians who just need to go to kennedy to catch their flight home and then uconn lays a fucking egg against duke and some jackass who can barely spell duke screams in your ear the entire night about how fucking great they are even though they needed every fucking call in the first half to even have a lead then your jackass friend spends half the train ride home puking in the metronorth bathroom but still drags you to meet two fat girls both of which of whores but because you are married you have to drag him out of the fucking house after two hours because if you watch him not fuck this idiot girl any longer you are going to strangle both of them then he proceeds to fucking throw up in the house for a half hour then he argues with you for a half hour about how he can close girls even though he couldnt get laid in a whore house and you finally get to drop him off 45 minutes away in a park and ride and the jackass goes right back to the scene of his disaster even though he has to meet you at 730 to tailgate tomorrow morning before the fucking uconn syracuse football game which is only made better by the fact syracuse gets their quarterbacks from the washed up point guards who are giving hand jobs at the rest stops along the new york thruway

When everyone's like "let's all go out and get fucked up". And then you have a couple pre gamers and everyone cancels. So I can't drive anywhere cause I'm a bit messed up and such.

Then you're like bored as shit and stuck at home watching "Against All Odds" and bored to tears.

Best Buy.

What the fuck is the point of shopping online when they just tell you that you have to pick it up in the store. Then going to the store and having to wait in a customer service line for 30 minutes. If I wanted to wait in line I would go to the store in the first place.

What is it with people talking, non-stop, at a sporting even when they have no fucking clue what they are saying?

Guy behind us at the Pens/Rangers last night. Bought a single ticket, and ended up next to 3 college age girls. He went on and on about absolute garbage. He referred to Lundqvist playing "soft" for the Rangers, which was great...except that Lundqvist wasn't in goal! He was happy "Alexei Gigliroski is back in the lineup"....Alex Goligoski, from MINNESOTA, was glad he could make him happy. And showed off his knowledge to "the ladies" (yes, he referred to them all night as "the ladies") by announcing to them when the officials were blowing the whistle on an icing...known to us less knowledgeable as offsides.

I am all for people enjoying the game, but if you know you don't know shit, keep your mouth shut.
