After passing in a clearly marked passing lane getting flipped off. Happens not infrequently. I never understand this but freely return the compliment.

What's a Passing Lane, in Australia you can overtake in Any Line, it's like get out of my way you Slow SOB. Of course there's always the occasional flip off when they think you were driving to close or whatever, drivers are so sensitive these days :wink2:

A passing lane is marked with a dashed line. No passing is marked with a solid line.

I see, in Australia fully marked/solid lines are rarely applied for that reason. Here they are on the far Right side of the highway as our vehicles are Right hand drive. We don't call them Passing Lanes, they are known as 'Overtaking' or 'Fast Lanes' because we 'Pass' vehicles travelling in the Opposite direction. However that subtle difference may not be so obvious to the increasing number of Australian drivers who have been 'influenced' by American media, which is something else that 'annoys me', but as we age most of us are experiencing daily culture shocks these days {eek3} ^&grin
 
What annoys me today.................................the redefinition of the word "recession". Who cares was 100 plus years of experience and economic experts say, let's just redefine and make it up as we go along......................................:)

Biden's new press secretary is ........................something.

"What does the white house think now that we as a nation are now officially in a recession?"

"We're not in a recession"

"Umm..........the definition of a recession is two quarters of negative growth, which we've had so far this year."

"We're not in a recession."

So I guess if you say it enough times, it's not really true.

Good to know.
 
Replaying the same commercial ad over and over again during a movie or program. Maddening. What is the thinking behind this? That people only watch part of a movie so you can replay the ad fifty times? I boycott any product that is advertised more than once while I'm watching. I give the "Pillow guy" an exemption since he is so weird I don't mind. He is like a throwback to the used car ads in the 1970s. And how many pillows does he have to sell to make enough money to run all those ads?

49.95 for those hideous slippers? "They have a rubber sole so you can wear them anywhere"..........oh sure, put those gunboats on and your robe and go grocery shopping to complete the homeless guy look.

I think all that hair dye pickled his brain.

The U.S. can't possibly be in a recession 'cause only a bunch of economic morons would pass a bill to raise taxes during a recession ..... and spend 3/4 of trillion dollars and have the gonads to call it the Inflation "Reduction" Act. You just can't make this kind of lunacy up! :p

Rumor has it we've started construction again on the border wall......it's under the radar, but it's happening.

Enough is enough.

build it...better late than never,
several thousand immigrants a day still cross over illegally...
Border Patrol...is completely overwhelmed...understaffed to stop a group of 1,000 when they decide to cross in mass...
I don't think US citizens up North really understand the magnitude of the crossings...
being only 400 miles from the border, I see it firsthand on the news daily...

Field of Dreams...build it and they will come...hopefully not...
 
Paper receipts that are like a foot long even though you purchase only a couple of items. I like to wad these up and slam dunk them into the nearest trash can like Daryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins. There must be a mountain of such receipts in every landfill in America. I also bought a car for my daughter recently and had to sign about a hundred forms. I asked the guy what they did will all that paperwork if every customer has to do that. He said they store the stuff at the dealership. They must have more papers than the National Archives.

I shred receipts. And junk mail, especially anything that has my name and other info on it. I used to use such paper to start a fire in the fire pit, but there's just so much of it that comes in. So a couple of years ago, I bought a small cross-cut shredder. Makes confetti out of it.

Prost!

Changing song lyrics or refusing to perform certain songs. Pat Benatar is apparently not going to perform "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" due to concerns about gun violence. You can't make that up. Maybe she is trying to get some publicity but does she or anyone really believe that someone hears that song and decides to go on a shooting rampage?

one of their biggest hits ever...
Jagger threw in the towel on Brown Sugar years ago...
said he regretted making the song now...
and it would never be played in concerts again...

side note:
the song was inspired by actress, singer...Marsha Hunt, mother of his first child...who is black...

The Foo Fighters, one of my favorite bands, has a iconic hit that put them on the map, Everlong....................that song propelled them to superstardom.

Their lead singer said in an interview a while ago "We make it a point to play that song at EVERY ONE of our concerts; fans love the song, many come specifically to hear it, we're doing them a disservice by not playing it."

I'm sure as a bad that song is tired for them, but they play it and they kick *** with it.
