Finally something we can agree on.

Why do we sit there on a Sunday, all excited, only to be miserable by the end of the Third or worse (as it seems with Dallas) on the last score of the game?

Just for rare moments like this:

This one goes out to Mr. I-Wear-Too-Much-Cologne-At-Work Guy. Only you can smell like you just rubbed yourself down in 30 pages of cheap cologne samples from random magazines. Only you feel the need to wear cologne in a parts department, whose main smell is a combination of box dust, car parts, and ciggarette smoke, at least when you're not around. I guess you gotta be prepared for when you occasionally see a woman in this sausage fest.

Seriously there are older analyst at my job that HAVE to have file cabinets. WTF for? I will ask them a question then we will have to walk over to the cabinet to check it out. I just want to scream put it on a PDF or just save it in a computer folder. You don't have to print every piece of work you do.

One old dude still has a roldex on his desk.

Sometimes I think back to when there were no computers. What the hell did yo udo on your down at your desk without a computer? Count paper clips? Really that be my personal hell!

My office has been "paperless" for years now, yet we still have those dinosaurs that run the printers ragged.

.....Girls Scouts..
Damn their cookie hawkin' souls to Hell!
Every year it's the same thing. It's not enough to purchase their containers of cookie delight every time you see one of their.....tribe during the cookie season. You must dig deep each and every time they put there collective "arm" on you...Please Mister, it's for the Girl Scouts and my fate is sealed or be branded a leprous child hater or is it Hatter?
Enough of the Big Sad Eye's at the exit of my favorite grocery store. I will have to resort to doing my grocery shopping at my local Quicky Mart until the season closes. They blanket the area better than the local PD on a BOGO at Dunkin' Donuts.
Oh...when will it end?
Sooo many Tagalongs.........

Dane Cook

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

Does Dane Cook grind your gears kind of like Nickelback does some people? I always wonder why both of them get all this hate. LOL.

NB hate I fully understand and endorse.

Dane Cook though? I dunno, he's kinda funny sometimes, sometimes not. I never thought of him belonging in the axis of hate.

Not on the same level as Nickleback, but a level up. His stand up is effing horrible.

I don't have an opinion either way on NB because I only know whatever "song of the day" they're playing, but I always LOL when I read metaphors equating Nickelback to the axis of evil.

Does Dane Cook still do standup? I haven't seen that dude in forever...

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

I do remember the one song that drove me INSANE by Nickelback was Photograph. Sadly, my wife listens to top forty stations all the time and I probably know all the words to that one because of it. :(

Give me a gun.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?
 

So whats with all the Nickelback hate? I mean, I've never been crazy about them and I'm not defending their music. There's only maybe 2 or 3 songs of them ever that I've liked. I actually think they're kinda annoying, minus those 2 or 3 songs.

But one day I trolled the internet and I found out that it was cool and it was the "in" thing to hate Nickelback.

So whats up?

Dane Cook makes jokes that are occasionally funny, but for the most part I dislike his style and delivery.

Kinda similar thing with Nickelback. Back in the day I used to like them, and they still have a few songs I like, but now that every song of theirs sounds repetitive and annoying I'm not much of a fan of theirs anymore. They are a "blue moon" band, in that I can occasionally listen to (and like) their music once in a blue moon, but I can't stand to listen to them all the time.

I used to listen to DC101 all day at my old job when that song first came out and I would literally throw my headphones off when it came on.

lol I like their song Someday and I think there's another song of theirs that I like but I can't think of the title right now.

I've never liked Photograph, I like the lyrics but he sounds weird singing it. And I absolutely hate Rockstar.

We did a blood drive at work and my coworkers told me to expect a crap load of calls from them, but I underestimated their tenacity.
I asked them to take me off their list last week but they proceeded to call me all weekend and again yesterday when I was in a particularly bad mood. I don't like being a complete a-hole to a charity organization but I really let the woman have it.
