You muthafucka!!!

Low. Blow.

What truly grinds my gears? Always missing my shield window in Clash of Clans on not being able to do any raids myself. I keep losing wealth and I'm trying to keep up with the LAX's and Shakes of the world.

That I'm old enough now that I'm beginning to understand how Lowes could be one's favorite store

I spent over an hour in the garden section over spring break solely deciding which kind of tomatoes I wanted this year. Yeah, I have a garden for the third consecutive year. I don't understand how or when I turned that corner

Guys who just have to work in with you on a piece of equipment at the gym, instead of using one of the dozens of pieces of equipment that no one is using or waiting 2 minutes for you to finish your sets.

Wearing sunglasses indoors (Unless you have some sort of medical reason or hungover).

Drivers who hang in the passing lane going under the speed limit. These people will take years off my life.

Women (or, I guess, men) who put on mascara while driving.

ESPN baseball web gems.

The first, yesir, also add those who come to a stop light in the far right lane, going straight, and drive far to the right blocking anyone who would turn...

Explain the ESPN one tho

Wearing sunglasses backwards or hanging them from the back of your shirt. It's not a "hip, cool tough guy with an edge" look.

My problem is this (and I admit it's a kind of a pet peeve, that minds can see differently):

I think the webgems has become kind of cultural thing, in the sense that even players watch and pick up on. So it fosters, I think, hot dogging, which I define to include unnecessary falling/diving/tumbling, the kind of extra stuff that most players 30 or more years ago would never or rarely have done. I mean catches where guys run to a ball until they're sure they have it, the go into a slide and a sort of controlled dive, where they could have just "run through" the ball and caught it without leaving their feet. Watch. You'll see guys catch balls while they are leaning, then catch it, then go into a full tumble. It's milking. But the ESPN thing has guys ooh and ahh and equate those kinds of catches with something more like some of the truly great plays. Simply put, I just don't think a lot of "gems" are really anything more special than a good, major league play. But guys milk them and ESPN laps it up and contrives it into a feature.

I remember reading that Joe DiMaggio never left his feet but that he almost never missed a ball he should have caught. That's kind of what I mean. A lot of these guys never miss a chance to leave their feet.

I say this having watched a lot, and played my share, of baseball. Anyway, it's a pet peeve.

Gotcha, I was just curious, it seemed an odd thing...
