Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Paid off my car last year, riding easy with no car payments for a while, of course now here come the repairs. $2k and counting this year so far. Still ahead of the game overall but it still sucks. New shocks are the latest kick to the groin.

Cars are designed like cell phone batteries. They purposely stop working right after a certain amount of time so you have to buy a new car/phone.

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

When you're prepping a document and Microsoft Word closes by itself and deletes your work. Good times at work today. Although I think this might have been our program we use for our files that made it close. Nonetheless, something involving a computer program screwed me. My gears were definitely grinded.

Yours doesn't auto-save and recover? MS Office has done that for years.

It auto-saved up to the last checkpoint it saved at. It didn't save up unto where I actually left off. So I had to re-do some of it.

It wasn't even Word though, it was our stupid system that was having problems and kept forcing it closed.

The factory warranty cutoff scam calls that I get on the regular. Anyone else get these?

I get these effing once a week.



Sidebar…I think that car shield extended car warranty is a scam

My local dealership service area has a big sign when you walk in…”we don’t deal or accept car shield”
Like don’t come up here with a vehicle with 150k miles and try to tell us this shit is covered under warranty

Re: What REALLY grinds your gears?

Think I have a pinched sciatic nerve - gears literally grinded to a halt. The pain in my leg is so intense. I've tried every "home remedy" in the last two months and nothing has worked. Was kinda hoping it would just pass on its own but nope. Even sitting down and my leg and my hip throbs.

Ouch…sorry to hear.

Physical therapy could really help along with some nerve specific pain meds. Weed alone probably not strong enough, but maybe laced with some coke and pcp could alleviate some pressure.

Been there! It’s the worst. Takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal.

Watch that and get a McKenzie roll to sit with.

I hope you feel better soon.
