Things We Don't Need- Pet Peeves

Mag · « **on:** 15 Dec 2013, 10:46 pm »

Okay no Bryston bashing.

There are a few things that annoy me of late, and I'm sure I can think of more once we get going.

Fragrance added to Kleenex. Occasionally when I have a stuffy nose I like to stuff a ball of Kleenex up one nostril, it helps me to breath when I sleep. What I don't need is that Jasmin scent up my nose! What happened to unscented Kleenex?

Raisins in Carrot cake- Whose idea was that? We don't need raisins in Carrot cake, it taste perfectly fine without 'em.

Seeing the exact same commercial ten seconds after the first one aired for the 15,000 time on TV.

What else can we do without?

Ex wives, male pattern baldness, trying to remember the names of the employee wives at the Christmas party, bone spurs, impossible to find size 15 shoes, too heavy perfume use by my sister, chinch bugs, 3 shaves per razor blade, ...

2 second editing in TV commercials and Concert videos. Maybe that's why the younger generation can't focus their thoughts on anything for more than 2 seconds.

The American Music Awards!

The Kardashians...really?

Another Designer Vodka! Ciroc anyone?

Audiogon early on was a great place to sell gear but lately...meh!

Kleenex is horrible. Just take a look at a sheet in bright direct sunlight. Shake it even a little.. Look at the snowstorm of dust flakes..
brrr the horror.... Not for me. I like my air with less crap floating in it.
Try using Viva paper towels.. They are soft! and do not shed. I use them all the time. I strip off a 1/3 sheet from the half sheet preforated rolls for most stuff needing Kleenex. and am happy knowing I am not clogging up my lungs.

OK other stuff I hate.
Telemarketing. Infomercials, The internet ads that buzz or move around trying to get your attention, I hate commercials for food in general.
I hate movie theaters for sound which is always deafening.

Audio Dynamic Range Compression in most cases, Satellite radio quality in all cases, Tower Record's demise, Personal injury lawyers, Speed traps at the bottom of a steep hill on a four lane road with a 25 mph speed limit, slow drivers in the left lane or driving in formation as we call it, Empty coffee dispensers at hotels while on travel and furniture that no human could tolerate for more than 10 minutes.

Gotta agree with the Kardashians ... what exactly is their skill set?

Gotta agree with loud movie theaters and the 2 second editing ... especially in movies. Pass out the Ritalin

I like raisins in carrot cake.

Aftershave and loud coworkers.
I especially don't need loud coworkers who wear aftershave or that perfume which smells like rotting underwear.

Hi all Audio Circle members.
Vietnamese driving their motorcycle the wrong side of the street (Wrong way)
and think they have all the rights to do it.
Vietnamese getting out of their driveway (At full speed) without looking if there is someone coming,
because thay think they will see them.
(It happened again to me this morning.)

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas...

This is one damned-crotchety thread.

Hi Devil Doc and all Audio Circle members.
The last time I drove a car in Montreal was 11 years ago.
However, I was in Montreal 18 months ago and to me,
it did not look that bad, compared to Vietnam.
I guess it depends on how you look at it.
O.K. then.
Things I don't need.
I don't need in my life people that tell you things without knowing
what they talk about.
It's like I always say:
If you don't know, ask !

Shopping malls

Chartable panhandlers (at businesses, on phone, at work, on TV). I give plenty, just don't need the bombardment.

Car batteries that die in 3 years without warning, in the winter (thanks GM).

One size (huge/expensive) desserts
