Our new dishwasher. Our kitchen is wide open to our living room. Our old dishwasher was fairly loud and made tv watching difficult. So when it was time for a new one I insisted on paying extra for the quietest one they had. I absolutely love it. The only time you hear it running is when it's...

This drives me nuts. Why aren't they doing it themselves?! One house in particular has random bits of garbage on their lawn since late last year! A sock. A plastic keychain. Cardboard packaging from a frozen dinner. Not a LOT of stuff but enough where I think 'you drag out the garbage to the...

Do you hang out at https://forums.tvnewstalk.net/? You'd love it there. :lol:

Heh. Since getting my current car with a rear camera I prefer backing into spaces. I don't have depth perception so I never know how close I am to kissing the bumper or concrete wall when pulling front first into a parking space. With the rear camera I can clearly see the parking lines and the...

Beyonce, Ariana Grande, and Lin Manuel Miranda. Any one of these three clears their throats and my social media feed and local newscasts goes crazy with stories and fan worship. I know I'm alone in this, but currently, Game of Thrones as well. I binged the first two seasons but gave up on the...

Yes, I understand that, but they're also trying to get us to go paperless under the guise of being more ecological. Either truly go ecological and reduce the paper being used in these mailers, or quit nagging me every time I log on to their site. One or the other. Either way it's truly only...

I prefer paper bills. An email is going to get missed, and having a paper copy ensures I'm am going to review the charges. If I just get an email telling me my bill was paid I'm not going to be inclined to follow the links, and sign in and download my bill for review. Additionally, I keep all my...

We have a $3 car wash near our house. I always seem to be stuck behind someone paying in cash. I sit there and watch them smooth out their dollar, lean out the window and try to feed it in the feeder, then it kicks out and they do it again, then they try another bill and that rejects too...

Yup. A yearly fee for us that mostly goes to landscaping, etc. I'm just annoyed that if you try to do something to make your house look nice they scrutinize, but do nothing, well, there are no rules saying you have to water your lawn so they do nothing if you dont and it dies.

I'm kind of annoyed at my home owners association right now. (i know, a common thing). Last month I got a letter from them complaining that I had a bag of yard waste in front of my house and it needed to be hidden from view. So, on a Wednesday night I was trimming some hedges. Pickup is Friday...

You guys post too quick! I can't keep up. I'm like six pages behind! Re birds. I kinda hear you on the crack of dawn thing. We have a pair of wild cardinals who visit us regularly and ask for food. Every morning at 5.30a the male is perched at the top of the tree in our backyard clicking at us...

People who think I have nothing to do all day at work. Paul, will you have time tomorrow to discuss (whatever)? I'm booked until noon, but I'm good after that. Ok, I'll book a two hour meeting from 12-2. Could you maybe give me time to have lunch? Or check my emails? Or maybe do some of what...

Local boy won a Grammy this year. Now the local news has to mention him in some form nearly every freaking day. This morning it was how some other (non local) music star was supporting him for mayor! They do this a lot. A local team went to the little league world series a couple of years ago...

I'm a little annoyed that it appears our neighbors next door moved out and didn't say goodbye! It's a rental house and we had a string of mostly ok but not the best neighbors (like, we had an older couple and their adult daughter move in. Daughter was recently divorced. They were nice, but...

Isn't it great when the assholes move away? The route I usually walk my dog is around a lake in my neighborhood. For several years I would frequently encounter smashed beer bottles in the middle of the sidewalk. Of course no one would ever clean that up (looking at you, people living on that...

Right?! A few years ago I was driving behind a guy. The light was, like, two blocks away and was green. The guy began applying his breaks two blocks out, gradually slowing down until, by the time we reached the light it was now red. WTF? If he had just maintained speed we would have made it...

Is it a unique cable? Most of the time these share similar cables with other devices. I have the opposite problem. When cleaning my office recently at found a cable part with unique connections and I don't have the slightest idea what it belongs to. And you know as soon as I throw it away I'll...

Paperless statements. Yeah, I know 'save the trees' and all that but I prefer having paper statements. Bundle each month's bills, and keep the yearly stack together. I have bills going back to when I first moved out of my parents out decades ago. I also find it easier to scan my statements for...

Call them. I've done this. Our Prime is under my wife's name. I ordered a Fire Stick under my name and it activated Prime and charged me under my name when I tried to use it. I honestly can't remember how I canceled it, but Amazon customer support is very helpful and if they see you're not...

This happened to me a while back when I was living in California. Weekday afternoon and there's a knock on the door. There's a guy in a uniform and he asked me if I had a dog. I said I did and he asked if it's been licensed. He hadn't been. He told me something how I was required to register the...

I used to live in California. Every day was warm and sunny. Ten straight months of Sunny and 72. It got really old. :) We craved a crisp fall day, leaves changing color, etc.

That's BS. It must be something specific to your MC carrier. Can you imagine if everyone in the world had to call their credit card carrier to alert them they were traveling to another country? At best they should send you an alert email of suspicious activity on your CC and to call if you...

Took the family to see Pet Shop Boys last night. I love PSB. Been a huge fan for 25 years. I have so many of their songs on my car iPod that nearly every time I drive somewhere of anything longer than a quick run to the store at least one of their songs is bound to come on. I was really looking...

In times like this I'm often baffled why people don't use their horns. I mean, not necessarily you, but the cars one or two back from the exit just sitting there waiting, watching the guy not doing his job. Or at a stop light when the turns green and no one moves because the lead car clearly...

Get the AdBlock Plus plug in. Be sure to disable it on HTF! :D

We woudn't move because of these people, I was just making a comment that it's been discussed. Really, I've had far worse neighbors.

Last post on this for a while from me. :D This is what I have right now: The white car is visiting a family two doors down from me. That house has two cars parked in front but my new neighbor - nothing. This person parks in front of my house... And look at the parking job! A good two feet from...

Yeah, I wasn't going to try to start an argument, and I fully understood how I would look like in his eye. Once he gets to know us I'm sure it will all pass. I'm not walking away with any negative feelings on the guy. No one likes to be told they're not doing something right, especially when...

Well... I went over to talk to the guy. We hadn't formerly met before and I laughingly apologized that our initial meeting is going to make me come off like a jerk. I asked him if he wouldn't mind parking in front of his house. He says he's been out of the country and just got back today (?)...

My new neighbors. I believe I've complained about people parking in front of my house when they're visiting someone else. We'll this family moved in around December and as soon as it started to warm up they've been having a lot of visitors - I mean several days a week. And right now it seems...
