Airing of Grievances

I got a lot of problems with a lot of people/things. Lets get started:

Rebecca: You had to make a post about spring being here didn't you? Less than 12 hours later we get 6 inches of snow.

90% of people in general: ITS JUST SNOW PEOPLE! YOU CAN STILL DRIVE ON IT! My normally-a-20-minute drive to work turned into an hour long extravaganza of stupidity.

Burger King on Pearl and Mt. Vernon: Sprite means Sprite, not carbonated water. Pay attention to your syrup levels bee-atches!

Hewlett Packard: Why did you make personal laserjet printers with top feed paper trays? HP LJ 4L, 5L, 6L and 1100 are teh worst evarr! Bastages!

Hewlett Packard again: 17" monitors are not supposed to be the same size as a 19" monitor. My Samsung Syncmaster 19" flat tube is in a smaller case than your HP 71 17" monitors.

3.5" Floppy drives: Sucks. I have to update my BIOS to crank up my FSB, but I cant do that without a 3.5" Floppy drive. Now I have to unmount my 80GB secondary HDD to get a floppy drive in there. Bootable CDs: Best evarr!

Now for some good news:

Crucial.com: Awesome! Ordered RAM at 2:00 pm yesterday, it was shipped by 4:00 pm yesterday. w00t!

Quentin: Parts god! My cousin was estatic that you found him a transmission for his MR2. The first shop he took it to wanted $4000 to fix it. Now with that tranny its less than $800. Thanks again!

No LAN this weekend. But I am dragging the pony barrel over to the garage where my Z is at. Get the motor painted and start the reinstall this weekend. Everyone is welcome to drink the beer, but you have to be willing to get dirty and turn a wrench. Otherwise, beer welchers will be dealt with accordingly....IE you get gobels to drink

I'm sorry!!!!!! I caught spring fever yesterday, I can't help it. Spring needs to come because we're all done with winter now. If it's any consolation, we got rain before snow here, so I had a nice thick layer of ice to chisel off my windshield this morning. Bleah.

I agree with you on some of those other points. I hate it when my Sprite isn't Sprite, Subway has done that to me before too. And why is it that people live in MI and still can't drive in the winter? WE HAVE SNOW HERE!! Get used to it.

Grievance:
Why can't electronics retailers just list a low price for the item? Why do we have to see these seemingly great deals in large print and then half a dozen rebate listed in the small print to get you to that price? I'd rather they listed the normal price...

Any why do we need mail in rebates anyway? Just give us the low prices from the get go and we'll buy more stuff anyway!!

Wendy's on Joy and Telegraph likes to give me carbonated water instead of my Sprite too. About 4 times now...
