Oh really? I thought all americans were like that. All americans I met were pretty unreliable besides the filipinos. LOL.
Glad to know you are not all like that
No, T.S., we are not....
*Some* of us are rather gracios and charitable...to a fault, even..
Still and all....there *is* the typical Ugly American everywhere y'go..
But be mindful that *every* nationality *does* have its fair share of weinerheads, as well..
You have your good, you have your bad; We have our good, we have our bad.
And so it goes........

I know we can't generalize... but after the 15th person that behaves exactly the same way, you start wondering... LMAO
No, besides jokes, I just think that some people in the military have so many rules at work that when they are off they relax a little bit too much and forget manners

Now you are talking.... I hate when people do that with their telephone number. What really piss me off along with that is when people have those difficult names ... you know fifety vowels and constants and look at you like you got it. Like what you cant spell Mfoofoo mufastaMr. Cartoon, this is a great thread idea.
My current gripe....
I work at a university and every student has an ID # - it's what we use to pull up their files. All the ID #'s are 8 digits, broken into two chunks of 4 numbers...Ex: 0000-0000. You would think that when asked for their #, they'd read it the way it's written on their ID cards...but no...they habitually read it all jacked up: 00-000-00-0 or 000-000-00 or 00-0000-00. IT NEVER FAILS!!! And they freaking ramble off this jacked up pattern at the speed of light. It pisses me off...I want to strangle them.
I know it probably sounds really lame, but it just drives me nuts. I don't understand how hard it is to read what is in front of you in the way that it is written. It's a huge pet peeve of mine.
Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening.

This is one that ALL of you **MUST** have had to contend with seeing....no matter WHERE you find yourself in the world (You should excuse the expression; That IS my studio's creed that can be seen in the front office...as well as in the sig of mine here)
Tonight's Gripe is brought to you by:
FASHION (Non)SENSE (II)
Or..."LOOK!! THE MOON CAME OUT EARLY TO-DAY! AND IT'S ONLY 11:00 A.M.!!"
On a city bus....or at the park, or anywhere YOU might wanna TRY to relax and unwind whilst out-of-doors...
There's invariably gonna be that buzzbrain who comes along with ill-fitting dungarees, trousers, whatever.....and positions themselves in one way or other -- to show.....well, what does the title say?
One fortunate aspect of it all....for now, anyway....is that they are *not* flautulent..
As a m8 said..."At least I can *SMOKE* behind 'em...as long as they only BURP!"
'Nuff Said!!!!

XXXX beer...real aussie beer for real aussie men
supermarket layouts
did the grocery shopping yesterday and it dawned on my that their layouts are completely wrong. how can you have the freezer section all the way over on the lefthand side then have the fridge section all the way on the righthand...then have the deli and meat section at the end of the isles...??? why don't they put all the bloody cold/freezer sections together so when i unload my trolley i don't have to go searching for all my cold items so they can be packed together?

They're trying to keep you in the store as long as possible to make more money. Also they keep items far apart in hopes you will shop/add to cart along the way.
Same concept as Vegas casinos. You cannot get to your room, restaurants, restrooms, or anywhere else in a Vegas hotel without going through the casino. It's a huge pain in the ass, but I'm sure it makes them a lot of money.

LV is a part of my territory and 5 years ago - we only had approved hotels on the strip... It was so amazingly f-ed up to have to wade through the smoke and "ding ding ding ding" at 7 am to go to work. It just made the whole day weird.
I put an end to that fatre complaining about lack of hotels off the strip - and stay at the airport or Summerlin these days... avoid the strip like the plauge when I go there to work.
I had a medical conference to put on there every year, and I had to be up and heading out around 4 am, and it was equally disgusting to have to wade through the smoke and drunks at that hour. I was shocked at how many people were still up gambling at that hour, and the people dragging themselves up to their rooms were equally shocking. Not to mention my hair smelled like smoke, despite traversing the casino as quickly as possible, which really pissed me off. I moved the conference to the Renaissance the final year I was there, it's a non-strip hotel across from the Wynn with no casino and no smoking. It was great. I honestly detest Vegas, I don't drink, smoke, or gamble, so it's just really not my thing. That said, I hope y'all have a fabulous time!
