You know what really grinds my gears? People who throw trash out the car windows and into a ditch, then they go about bitching about how parts of the city floods when there's a major downpour.

Something like that happened to me. I have had my PS2 since they were brand new. I bought a used copy of Tony Hawk Underground about 2 years ago and I noticed that it would only load every 2nd or 3rd try. It was not a huge deal, I thought, because I bought the game used.
Then I bought a brand new copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the thing would not load, PERIOD! I knew my PS2 was "dying", but in fact, it WAS NOT! I work in electro-optical, so I just took apart the PS2, opened the drive and GENTLY swabbed the laser/lens with an alcohol dipped Q-tip [only a TINY bit of alcohol! Wring it out or dab it until it is just barely moist!]. Then I swabbed it with a couple of dry Q-tips and re-assembled. Everything plays perfect now. Note, that while I was in there I sprayed around with some computer dusting spray, to clean things up.

Heh. I tried to do that, but how the hell do you take these things apart? I ripped off the "void" sticker, tried to pry it open from there, but no luck. Something tells me that's not even where you take it apart, lol.

Eh, doesn't really matter now :3d_frown:

I hate people who refer to the Japanese film as "Ringu". It was called "The Ring" for years and years before America bought the remake rights to it and to stop people from being confused over which version they're buying, the companies now label the past Ring Trilogy as "Ringu".

In short, it's like hearing people pronounce "Mk3" as "M-K-three"

I hate how money can take the negative words "insane", "crazy" or "ludicrous" and magically make them sound good or commendable by substituting with the word "eccentric".
A pedophile with worldwide fame and millions in the bank is eccentric.
A writer that likes to purchase and live in old churches is eccentric.
A rich woman who marries a dolphin is eccentric.

No. They are f*cking crazy. If I did any of those things, there's no telling what my fate would be. I can guarantee that nothing good would come to a poor person associated with these "magical money feats" [the second example is impossible, but just put in there for good measure].

I get so angry at things that people do sometimes, it's crazy. Maybe if I had some money, I could be known to be eccentric for my habit of hunting down the crazy rich, but I'd just be completing the cycle.

"Did I ever tell you about the time Bill Brasky went hunting? Brasky decides he's going to hunt down all four of the Banana Splits! He stomps and chews every one of them with a machete. They all begged for their lives, except Fleagle!"
