2. Braille on the drive-through ATMs. :/O   


That's long been a pet peeve of mine.  Ditto for the Braille on signs for public restrooms.

So you're comfortable w/ braille on the elevators in parking garages, or are the drivers just really bad where you live? :/O :/O :/O

I don't have to use parking garages very often so that really hasn't made much of an impression on me.

hmmm...just 3?  Ok..well I will try to narrow it down to the Top 3...

1)  On Fridays when I get paid, I have to walk into ( or drive up) the bank.  CASH my check and then turn around and deposit it into my checking account.  Apparently, if I just walk in and tell them to deposit my check into my checking account, it will not post until the next business day...which is Monday. BUT...if I cash it first..then deposit, it will be in there that day.  STUPID!

2)  Why is it when we mail ( yes i know...snail mail) a letter or any correspondence to someone here within my city, It has to actually go 90 miles north of here to a processing center and then travels back to be put in the mailbox of the reciever one block down?

3)people who stand outside the store front peering in at me while I am sitting here and then open the door and ask....are you open?  NO...im just sitting here for the hell of it.  Believe me this has happened to me several times.  Lights are on, sign in the window ( Bright Orange lights) that says OPEN!  No we arent open...

1. Youth Fashion...Flat brimmed hats and jeans where you can see their boxers.
2. People who think stop signs are only a suggestion.
3. Any coffee drink that isn't coffee.

Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

Schro, I thought for sure one of yours would be "someone who drinks Kettle One with anything other than ice"   :D

Or "people who don't like Jimmy Buffett"  :*))

Valid points Rob. But the list was only limited to three.

1.  People who buy an LCD or plasma TV but won't pay to get cable channels in high definition
2.  Twitter
3.  The new instant coffee that Starbucks has been pushing.  Why would anyone go out and order instant coffee??   :/O

I completely agree.  What a silly idea on their part.

Why did you pay to drop if off one block down?  Why didn't you just do it yourself?  :/O
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

it was just an expression..
Tyler...............


That was meant for like businesses that would send out a statement or billings.  We use to have it all processed here in Washington, we have a facility big enough to do it...they just choose to have it all sent 90 miles away to be processed.  In the past you could mail something and you couldget it the next day...now it takes 2-3 days
