Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

Used Car Dealers and young men that put their brains in neutral.

I warned him. I told him not to buy out of state. I told him to buy within his means. I tried my best to impart my knowledge about buying used, especially out of state, but nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo he just had to do it his way.

Where is he now? With a $12,000 USED car that had issues less than 24 hours after he bought it. He drove it home from Chicago and got up the next day and it wouldn't start. Lovely. Ok so the simplest thing to go wrong would be a dead battery but since he drove it all the way from Chicago, it should have a good charge. Oh well, go buy a new battery. Batteries usually hit you for $50-$70. NOPE! This is a specialty battery so he had to pay $170! So much for the $400 you saved for 6 months of insurance. You'll be paying month to month now at a higher rate. So I badger him into calling them and complaining and they say they'll pay for the battery. Ah...a victory...or is it? He called today and they said no, they wouldn't pay for it. DUN DUN DUN! I wanted to rip that phone out of his hand and fix it but he's a big boy and can do his shit himself. He got off the phone and I told him that he shouldn't let it be and should call back and ask for the service manager and bitch to him. Well he didn't want to but I gave him "the look" and he did. The manager finally agreed to pay 1/2 of the cost....oh well...partial victory.

Ok new battery in (which he didn't do himself, his father did it...even though I told him not to...) and does it start? Yep, it does. Oh but, low and behold, whats happening now? The car stalls when he's driving it. Pull up to the stoplight the other day and *poof* it stalls. So the only aspect he listened to from my talk was that if there was a warranty available that he should purchase it. But, of course, since its a used car the warranty only covers very specific things and I can guarantee you that they will probably say its not covered. We are going to take a look at it tonight and I'm hoping its just that the plug on the afm isn't plugged in tightly....please god....please.... /sigh

The icing on the cake is that he didn't listen to one very important piece of information....he had $4400 saved up and he put $4000 on the car so he'd have $400 left for 6 months of insurance. Well the battery took $200 of that $400 so now he has $200 and $80 of that is for his insurance. Soooo that important piece of info.....he has to pay tax on this car TWICE! So when he goes to the DMV, he has to cough up $600+....wtg kid..../sigh

Your son is lucky. I asked everywhere for advice on buying a car, and nobody wanted to help me. They all know it's a huge risk, no matter if it's new or used, and they don't want to be the ones to blame if something goes wrong. Understandable, but NOBODY wanted to help me. I made a few bad decisions, but I'm glad. I'm better off for it. I've bought two cars, so far, and I've almost got the process down. I need to work on not letting the salespeople rush me into a purchase, even if I already did all the research and decided it was 'the one'.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

If I'm going to spend ~$500 a month on payments I'm damn sure not buying some puny car. Pickup truck or GTFO.

What would happen to a person if they had a drop of that crystal thing?

Also, my spice tolerance is probably at about a 1000 on the Scoville scale. Yes, you read that right. One Thousand.

The pure crystalized form that's 16,000,000 is NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Blair's... the people who make Ultra Death, make a bottle of the crystalized product every few years. It's PURE and it's 16,000,000. It comes in a decorative bottle and the actual crystals are covered in WAX. The outside of the bottle is slapped with a sticker that says "NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION, DO NOT EAT, ONLY FOR DECORATION".

Anything above a 2mil on the scale could cause bodily harm. Negative effects of sause over 2mil include but are not limited to, loss of sense of taste, loss off sense of smell, 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the tongue and inside of the mouth, severe swelling of the throat and much much more.

DO NOT!
I repeat
DO NOT EVER ATTEMPT TO CONSUME ANYTHING OVER 1,100,000, EVER!!!

16,000,000 could easily cause near instant 3rd degree buring and welting over any part of your body that it touches.

My next car will be a '93 Honda Civic Si 3 door hatchback rofl. As well as a 2010/2011 Kawasaki Ninja.

Yyg: so what you're saying is... it's pretty much acid. Got it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

$170

I paid that much for a battery, but it was an Optima Yellow Top. But yeah, buying out of state....NOEZ! For what he paid, he could've gotten some pretty sweet Certified Used cars. (What did he buy btw?)

Whistling!

This is pet peeves right?

If there is one small little thing that bugs me the MOST in this world, its whistling. Mainly because it sets off my tinnitus, which does not go away for quite some time afterwards. Also, because it's simply ANNOYING.

Pickup truck or GTFO.

I had to explain to a New Yorker earlier why midwestern women do this.

Re: What's your pet peeve in RL?

I'm very ticked off right now. Its been a frustrating day. Gamestop screwed me on the MHT pack-in I specifically pre-ordered to get the good deal. That and I've had to recatch Lugia over and over until the nature I want eventually appears.

But on top of that, there's a situation and I have a certain gut-based, intuition about things. So I've warned my friends something bad will happen if a particular relationship or trend is allowed to persist. And I've gotten the phrase I always hear when I'm right.

"I don't see the problem."

That's the sign I'm right, that phrase is like a harbinger to me being right. If I were one to say "I told you so," I'd have a few dozen instances to beat this person over the head with and for whatever reason, my friends will listen to him first. You'd think with how many times I've been right they'd listen by now and trust me first, but hey, fine, learn on your own again.

Its positively infuriating to me when I have to sit back and watch the shit happen. I'm almost done shaking the tension off, but it takes a bit. I'm taking a step back and waiting for the stress to leave. I've washed my hands of it, I'm done. Their problem now.

Is that the problem right there?

Har har.

What's the deal with this new regulation of salt in food? I do profess an affinity for sodium in my diet, but I'm not one that reaches for the salt shaker either. If you want companies to put less salt on my friends and tortilla chips, go nuts, but leave my other stuff alone. I can make this decision, why don't I get a vote on this?

What about High Fructose Corn Syrup? Its the one thing in too many foods none of us need, happens to fatten up everyone, too.

Oh, right, lobbyists. That and its cheap.

But regulate that salt! Salt is out of control!

They should regulate second-hand salt, too. I don't want any of you salt-eating bastards coming near me or the children I don't have yet..
