Really, a lot of beverage companies are trying to rip off the Most Interesting Man In the World's manliness and epicness. Because that campaign boosted the **** out of XX's sales.

I also hate the Arby's guy. Especially the new ad with the "I'm on a boat" at the end.

I like their food, but their ads are annoying as ****.

I hate ads copying Apple with the white background stuff, like T-Mobile.

I hate the fact that all toothpaste commercials show a dentist in a blindingly white room. I've been the multiple dentists, and absolutely no one has such a white room. Stupid, and generic.

You know what grinds my gears? People who turn left to turn right (without a turn signal) only to come to a near complete stop in the middle of the turn because they don't know how to ******* drive a car. I should also mention a school bus (yeah, a full size 60' long SCHOOL BUS) took this turn in front of them with absolutely no ******* problem.

Terrible drivers, they grind my gears more than anything.

Ugh...bad drivers...so many of them out there.

Just last night I was in the driving lane on a two lane highway with a tractor trailer passing me in the passing lane. There was an on-ramp coming up with a solid chain of cars WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO ******* YIELD and not a god damned one of them did.

One car slotted in front of me by just a few feet and the next slotted behind me, all while that tractor trailer was still next to me.

I'm very lucky I didn't end up getting sandwiched. All because those morons wouldn't ******* yield.

My 5th period class grinds my gears.

One time I was going down to work from school in the middle lane of the freeway, have one car a bit too close behind me and this dumbshit SUV starts changing lanes and he's right next to me and essentially forces me to change lanes also since the car behind me would probably hit me if I braked, bastard is so ******* lucky I was able to change lanes and there wasn't any cars there.

People that just assume you are exactly like the population you make up. Look, most generalizations are true for the majority of a population. Yes, most white guys are hilarious awful dancers. Yes, most Cub fans aren't really fans but like to go to games to get drunk.

But don't assume that I'm one of them before you even meet me. Actually use your ******* eyes, ears, and brain for 2 minutes and then decide. Yes, I like going to Cubs games because they are fun and realize 95% of the people there think Ryan Theriot is still our 2nd baseman. Yes, most Iowa fans are huuuuuge homers that think Iowa football is a top 10 program and should compete for NCs every year. I don't, so **** off if you're gonna just start telling me how much Iowa sucks because our fans are idiots.

yo123 · 01-31-2012, 04:31 PM

Speaking of bad drivers, I had a cab driver this past weekend who didn't know you could turn right on a red light. Yeah.

A CAB driver? Seriously? ****, those guys usually don't even need to be turning right, they'll just blow through it anyway.

I'd be pissed too if people assumed I was a bad dancer.

speaking of bad drivers... i hate people who won't turn left (from a one way, onto a one way) on a red light. idiots.

Prowler · 01-31-2012, 05:13 PM

I hate the idiots who only drive 40 mph while merging into 70 mph highways, then ride my ass after I pass them. Show me your speed and manliness while merging, punks.

prock · 01-31-2012, 06:11 PM

**** the **** out of Madden franchise mode. You literally cannot make any trade. I tried to give away 99 overall Cam Newton for a 7th rounder and they reject it. Literally there isn't a single trade you can make that they will accept. How ******* pointless is that? I hate you Madden. EA Sports is the god damned devil.

Lol at least they will do 40mph... You should come to Perth and all of a sudden you will feel like everyone you've ever seen in the USA is the greatest merger on Earth.

We are awful drivers over here at the best of times but something about merging just ticks us over the top...

For example, I had a car come to a complete halt on the FREEWAY today to try and change lanes only to realise they'd changed into the wrong lane and do the same thing(ok it was down to like 10kph and not a stop the 2nd time) to get back into their original lane.

Honestly... Perth drivers are without a doubt the worst drivers in the world.

BeerBaron · 01-31-2012, 07:49 PM

Are your driver's sides on the right? If you merge from the right like we do then that's gotta be annoyingly hard.

The newest Madden? That's unusual.

I managed to trade Brady Quinn and a second rounder for VY. Obviously a pretty bad trade, but if you don't see why I needed to pull the trigger, you've never tried using Tebow on all-pro. Just brutal. Vince Young has a 1:2 TD:INT ratio, but at least I can move the ball through the air for those days when my blocking only gets Willis 2 ypc.

But yeah, Madden ******* sucks. I didn't get last year, wasn't gonna this year but decided to do it on Boxing Day for 40 bucks. Total POS. You can't change players numbers........... seriously. I've been doing that since PS1 but I can't in Madden 12.

njx9 · 01-31-2012, 08:14 PM

my apparent inability to stalk chris while in canada grinds my gears.

Disconnected internet. I was without SWDC for a whole week and i was on the brink of murder-suicide.

But for a few days. Was wondering what kinda trouble you had gotten yourself into.

I was scared that you had finally been apprehended by the Federales.

Don't worry guys, the business is still running on all cylinders. The Federales are on our payroll so we have nothing to worry about on that front.

You are meant to keep left over here... but people just can't merge...

There are basically two kinds of mergers in Perth... the impatient dickhead who wants to get as far forward as possible which just creates a massive bottleneck and the over courteous moron who lets every single person in. Not sure which is worse when you get two together but basically it's a disaster as soon as it happens.
