    Yah this makes no sense to me. Like who wants to stand up and have to bend their neck to the side for 20 minutes to avoid the overhead compartments? If I’m not sitting in the front 10 rows, I usually just sit and wait for most the plane to deboard before I even bother.

    It is Chicago and the train.... get used to it.... I have seen people do just about everything possible on the -L- .... smoking and drinking are low on the list of problems, I have had to stop fights on the train, had guns flashed and even drawn by teenagers.... stopped robberies.... heroin addicts nodding out, small ass kids running without parents and urinating in the corner.

    the heroin and crack addicts are more sad than anything...every time I see them they're just in the corner typically not bothering anybody, at least on the Green Line

    another annoying thing on the CTA are the psychotic people yelling and ranting conspiracies to themselves the entire time because they don't shut up

    I love Chicago tho...if I ever left Houston, Chicago is a place I'd be willing to relocate to...if it weren't for the winters, it might be at the top

    The one and only exception where this might be appropriate is if somebody has a very tight connection, otherwise, sit yo ass down.

    I guess maybe if they had a bathroom emergency too.

    When your big ass fan is working fine. You turn it off and then you turn it on next day and it does nothing but barely moved. So, you take it apart and try to oil it. And, it still doesn’t spin. So, now you know it’s either the flux capacitor or the bearings have seized. Then, you got to take the big ass fan to Best Buy to recycle it. And, you wait on Prime Day coming up and hope a big ass fan is really on big ass sale.

    "Auto Play Next Episode"

    With no option to turn autoplay off.

    Fuuuuuuuck you

    Wake up later and have to spend much time to figure out which episode you fell asleep during.

    A hotel room with only one available electrical outlet… and none at the bed side…

    but there’s a phone next to the toilet… what is this, LBJ’s Oval Office?

    Bad beach etiquette
    • People who set up camp right in between you and the beach. If there's a row of chairs/umbrellas, set up in the row not in front of it
    • People who feed the seagulls. Nothing like 20 seagulls flying above your setup and pooping all over everything because the people next to you are feeding them Cheetos
    • Loud music. It's a beach, not a rave. I want to listen to the waves, not your **** music. Buy some ear buds
    • People who fish in the middle of a cluster of swimmers. If you want to fish, move down the beach away from everyone swimming

    What if the fisherman was there at 6AM.
    And others infringed on his red fishing.

    I too remember the late 90's.

    What a lot of fun and a great time to be alive.

    Beach raves are still around.

    Unfortunately, some of the people who were around for those raves never stopped and look rough. Fortunately, it's dark.

    Xbox One controllers are the biggest pieces of sh_t I've ever seen for game controllers. I've been through a few of them. And, they always end up the same way...the precision movements by moving the joystick around..it just stops being precise. Like, good luck if you need to point at something and push a button to click it. And, it will just freak out and do whatever it wants at times. Button presses won't work at times when it's misbehaving. And, the only way to fix it is to pull up on the left thumbstick and then push it back down. Then, it's only a temp fix and starts doing whatever again in no time at all.

    I mean..how hard is it to make a wireless controller that actually works? And, no, I'm not throwing the controller at the wall when I'm mad. It's just normal usage. I'm not keen to buy another one...b/c I know it's just going to f k up again.

    Can't remember any other console where the game controllers are so poor.

    The pain has left now that my son is living in NYC and doing his own laundry.
    But when my boy was younger, he always kept guitar picks in his pants. I would pull like 10 out of the dryer every time.

    Controller drift, it's a common issue on every console. That's why there are premium controllers out there now with sticks that don't drift. Expect to pay $150+.

    Before you b**** about the cost, think about how much time some people spend gaming, what your time is worth and what QOL is worth to you. It's why I don't mind paying $2k for a mattress, because I spend 1/3 of my life there. You pay for quality.
