People who you are watching a movie with at home who can't seem to shut up during the movie. They also ask all kinds of questions about the characters in the movie like, " is he going to do such and such?". I don't know, shut up and watch the damn movie and maybe both of us will find out.

My grandmother does it all the time. "What's he about to do?" "Are they going to drive off that cliff?" "Is he dead?" If she were asking about stuff like the end to Inception then it would be fine, but she usually asks a question that is answered about 10 seconds later. Patience grandma, patience.

It really irks me when the governement decides to take the cheaper route on electronics by purchasing them from another country...especially when they are going inside our weapons systems. They deserve egg on their faces for this...

They just called me 20 minutes ago. Fairly certain my call will be there too.

The alarm companies are the best. When I'm in a good mood I carry on about ridiculous possibilities, forcing them to use the entire flow chart.

That's it. I told them they have in my opinion a superior product, but they are about to lose a great customer by screwing it up with harassment.

whoever is over their marketing department should be fired immediately.

Ah. I was hoping we'd get the same guy.

He couldn't comprehend that if I had to cancel it I didn't want it.

Unless they are offering a full season of extra innings or Sunday ticket at least half off I am not interested.

Coming home from Michigan on I-80, in the mountains in Western Pennsylvania, there was one lane open for about 30 miles with no active work. Made for a slow go with a truck chugging uphill at 15mph leading a 20 mile long freight train.

I told her when they offered discounts on Extra Innings to call me. But in the mean time put in the notes that this guy is a jerk and don't call back.

I used to have a blast with insurance salesmen that called. My dad fell off the roof at least a dozen times when I was in high school.

We now have my 8 yr old, very imaginative, son answer the calls and pretend to be head of household. He told a lady the other night to hold on while he got some goldfish crackers and asked her if she watched fineas and ferb. When the timing is right, my wife and I have fake redneck arguments while putting the phone on speaker.

Do you realize most squat racks are set up for more than just squatting so no it's not bad etiquette. Our rack is used for pull ups, abs/knee raises, lunges, shrugs, squats, push press, upright rows, & curling.
