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.

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.
