A democrat's brain.
It pisses me off that something so small can do so much damage.

My wife thinks everything and everybody pisses me off! That's just not the case. I'm really a rather mellow guy...actually!

Seeing thongs for men in a store in size XXXL, and seeing someone in that size buying them. Shudder.

Just a thought, but some Prozac might really help take the edge off.

You could also go to Panera and get bread that they put in a baggy for you with no twister involved.

One thing comes to mind right now...

- Electronics with User Interfaces that are overly complex. I stayed in a relatives big fancy 5th wheel trailer at their place for a few days recently. Said trailer had a fancy built in stereo which was turned on when I entered the trailer for the night. I could not turn that stupid thing off, there were no buttons labeled "On/Off", no that would be too simple. The more buttons I pushed the worse things got, the equalizer thingy started flashing lights in fancy patterns across the screen. I finally had to find the breaker panel in the trailer and turn off that circuit so I could get some sleep.

Along the same lines, my wife bought a bluetooth device to use with our cell phones in her car. I used her car to run an errand and she tells me to try out the new bluetooth device, but that I have to turn it on and sync it to my phone. During my errand I have to call my wife and decide to use the bluetooth device. Damn thing only has two buttons on it, a minus sign and a plus sign, that's it. Turns out to use this device you need to push these buttons in different sequences, hold down this button for so long etc.

Is it too much to ask for one button that is labeled, "ON", and one that is labeled "OFF" on electronics these days? I'm a simple man, I don't want to have to read and memorize a one inch thick operators manual just to be able to turn on/off a stupid stereo. Put the dang buttons on the device in a visible place and properly labeled.

Wayne O2, I remember back when radios had two knobs. Usually the one on the right was the on/off/volume...and the one on the left was the tuner. That's it! Damn, life was simple then.

I don't have any pets now, but when I did, a cat or dog would step on the remote to the entertainment devices, and it would take three hours to figure out what button they stepped on, what it did, and what you have to do to get the thing running right! Damn!

Also, as you get older, your near vision and low light vision doesn't get any better. Why do they make all the knobs on electronic devices and so small?

Years ago, I used to fly. My "early" flying was in rather "primitve" airplanes, i.e. Piper J3 cubs. Latter on a checked out in a Cessna 172. When I looked on the pannel, the two knobs you used to control the radios were about the size of the winder on my watch. Then there were two little toggle switches that looked like they came out of a doll house. All I could think about as I flew was "I sure hope I don't wreck this damn thing...them switch handles could poke your eyes out!"

By the way, for any of you aviators out there, check this out...it is from a Piper J3. The humor contained here is off the wall!

Any president (Republican or Democrat) that has the ability to launch a nuclear strike but not the ability to say nuclear. Jimmy Carter, George Bush...it's not pronounced nuculur dammit!

I thought when I reached the grand old age of 65, I would have developed infinite patience.

Not.

I just don't give a shit.

1. People speeding in my neighborhood .
2. Campaign signs
3. LEO's that drive 20 mph over the limit
because they can .

Honestly, nothing really pisses me off any more, seriously.

Ah, seems Ted and I have reached the same stage in life! All sorts of things used to pull my chain, but eventually the fact dawned upon me that the people responsible for such idiocies were morons, and that by getting hacked off I was giving them considerable control over me. I simply decided that never again, under any circumstance, would I allow any moron the slightest control over my life, even to the rather minor extent of pissing me off. Life has been much more enjoyable since then.

I hope you never attempt to remove the drivers side lug nuts from an old (1960 or so) Chrysler. You will end up throwing the whole darn vehicle out to the birds!



Oh, and two words of advice...

Have you seen a car radio lately? Geez, no wonder these young guys don't know how to work boobies properly.

Just about anything that starts with a "T"such as Trains, Trucks (semi), Tractors, etc. Of course titties and twats are excluded.

If it's a "little thing" then why let it piss you off?
