Works fine in the cafe today, tomorrow it wont, library i get nothing and even the techs seem stumped. Not the firewall, i know its not windows cause i had the problem with vista and now my pc is on windows 7 and the trouble persists. I even brought the pc up to the college one day to test it and it worked fine over the break. Even the techies on campus were stumped. I dont get it. They even admitted that judging the state of the pc that i was one who probably checked everything and knew what i was doing so to speak. Go figure

If you are sending a newsletter out to a large group of people, you should make sure that you know that there is a difference between "scrape" and "scrap", as well as "scraped" and "scrapped"; and then be sure to use them properly. Just because spell checker doesn't catch it doesn't mean that it's correct.

I'm also peeving this stupid little share icon at the bottom of the page that always seems to "open" and cover up part of the last post. I swear my mouse doesn't even have to be on the screen for that dumb thing to open up. And once it opens it doesn't seem to go away. If I want to use "AddThis", I'll darn well click on it!!!!!!!

it's annoying that when you order a sandwich in a deli, you need to watch them make it step by step because 2 out of 3 times they mess it up - what's so hard about remembering roast beef, mayo, lettuce, tomato, salt and pepper

that's why most of the time I make my own

I hate how at Subway they put on so much mayo it's like oozing out of it everywhere--and that's after you tell them "Easy on the mayo!" Hubby hates how much lettuce they put on--he says that lettuce doesn't make the sandwich, but that Subway must think it does. We don't go there very often, because like you, we hate having to hold their hand while they are making the sandwich.

Ordering a patty melt. First the cook wants to know what kind of bread? Then asks do I want onions? I wonder if the guy is offering me choices, or if he's an idiot who doesn't know it is supposed to be rye bread and yes it has onions.

The little drop-down triangle right of the adress bar in Explorer (shows recent typed in history)
Someone stupid made an X (exit/delete) directly below the arrow triangle so if you click it quick you delete the entry-I had to add Google a dozen times or so and probably will another dozen times. (wonder-was that X added by Explorer 8?)

They allow you to assemble your own sandwich? (Or for the Brits, sandwiche?)

As a general rule, screaming at people does not insure good service.

You probably wait until they're done and then complain that the tomato slices were placed inverted.
