    In the same vein as Xero's...

    The jabroni who schedules 8am or 4pm meetings.

    The guy who always speaks up when someone says "okay, does anybody have anything else? If not I'll give you some time back."

    I have fake recurring meetings all over my calendar. One in the morning so I can drop boys off at school, another in the afternoon so I can pick them up and one at 1:30 so I can get out of the house and take my walk.

    Survivor and Big Brother house. I don't watch those shows and their commercials just make me want to watch them even less. I really don't understand why people would want to watch a group of randos undermine each other. I understand that people like to watch interpersonal drama but for a "reality" show it seems so fake and forced and there's no reasons why I should care about them.

    Also it's hard to believe that Julie Chen at one time was considered an actual journalist.

    You could apply that logic to shopping at Walmart for anything.

    I apologize up front if I'm ever forced to schedule anything before 9am, after 4pm or at lunch time. It's usually urgent or at the behest of an exec who is inconsiderate of other people's time (not an issue I have at my current company).

    Flipping someone off and having to worry about getting shot in return. In the old days, the bird was the word.

    Just buy real cheese. Not that more expensive when you need it.

    My right index fingertip annoys the **** out of me every time the first cold front of the year shows up. Every year I'm reminded.

    I've smashed it a few times, and so the circulation is no bueno, so it's white and tingley while the other 9 are pink and happy

    Yea I'm going back to HEB and buying the real thing next time. It's just when it comes to BBQ burgers my family loves American cheese on them. On a side note, how old ARE you? :D

    Go to the deli counter and get slices of Boar's Head White American cheese. This also works for queso instead of velveeta.

    I'm young at heart, and I won't be 50 for a while.

    Tinnitus in my left ear. Constant ringing and there's literally nothing I can do about it.

    The "in-season" tournament courts.

    They look like they were designed by a group of disabled, blind and limbless monkeys during an epileptic seizure with access to a computer, some clip art of the trophy and MS Paint. .

    Why is there a lane sized stripe down the middle of the court? Do you get more point for this area? Is in out of bounds? why the contrast between that area and any other? The stupid trophy in the middle is way out of proportion. Why isn't there any contrast between in/out of bounds or the 2pt/3pt area? AND the addition of the stupid trophy again in each lane makes the restricted area even harder to identify.

    Worst design ever.

    Oh wow, those are indeed terrible. At first glance I think the Pacers one is the worst (or NO, or Phoenix, or Utah, or...)
