Zenister 0 #51 December 23, 2003 QuoteIt completely bothers me for like 2 seconds when someone's voicemail message says: "I'm unavailable to answer your call at this time..." You're either unable or not available... basically incorrect english. not necessarily if you were sitting at home screening your calls you would be both able and available, but because you were disinclined to answer you are 'unavailable' (by choice) for that particular phone call.____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

skybrat68 0 #52 December 23, 2003 Rubberneckers, you know, the ones that hold up traffic for 5 miles and it's nothing more than someone stopped on the side of the road changing a flat tire. Someone sitting outside your door in their car, blowing their horn instead of getting out of the car and coming to the door. People chewing with their mouths open for everyone to see and hear. Making mouth noises or incessantly tapping on something. Being behind someone that is going just under the speed limit (that I can't get around) or being behind that jack ass that passes someone in the passing lane only to drive the same speed limit that the car he thinks he's passing is going (leaving me boxed in of course). Just to name a few Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That drives me more than bananas! especially when I'm on the OTHER side of the highway backed up! LOL! Just thought of a new one...when the trashbag has collapsed and people throw trash on TOP of the bag instead of INSIDE it! UGH!!
