What Really Grinds Your Gears?

[ACamp1900]

People who bitch whine and moan about harsh tone or rhetoric and generalizations all while throwing harsh tone/rhetoric and generalizations at those they whine bitch and moan about… just because you mind jobbed yourself enough to think you and your opinions/positions are infallible doesn’t give you some free pass to be a complete hypocrite.

YES!!! Finally, 2 guys who get it! This place was way better back in the day (you know, when there were like 20 people logged on at a time). Acamp, BGIF, unite my brothers!

I know all of this is in jest, and no disrespect to former mods, but the "good ol' days" of IE mods is right now.

Slippery sun screen bottles. Just kidding, they are awesome......

I don't know about gears... but that may end with something grinding, I know that...

Team effort, yo. Lax, GITF, Clash and Beau do as much (if not more) than I do.

Though the new mod crew still needs a name. Maybe...

Totally in jest. I like the old regime and the new, both do great work for this place.

Whiskey, how about this for a title:

People that don't realize if you want to rep someone but can't, all you have to do is find the next/nearest rep worthy post... like say a post of a hot chick in a bikini with big breasts... and rep that post, then you have freedom to rep OG post....

sheez guys, this isn't hard.

Exactly what is the path on how that comes into your mind?

Guntersville, Ala., post office shut down by package leaking K-Y gel

Guntersville, Ala., post office shut down by package leaking K-Y gel

Slow clap and tip of the hat to the writer of that story. First sentence reads:

Packages coming through the Guntersville, Ala., post office on Tuesday aroused concern they might be tainted with a dangerous substance after several workers fainted after handling them.

Radio commercials that have a grown adult playing the part of a child(voice). They swear they sound like a kid, but in actuality, they're just annoying and sound like an adult trying to sound like a kid.

It's grinds my gears (no pun intended) when a mechanic shop puts a bad catalytic convertor in my car not even a year ago and then wants to charge me labor to swap it out with a good convertor. I had to to argue the guy down from a $200 labor charge. Are you serious? They put a crap part in my car that has probably been screwing up its efficiency and I'm supposed to pay them to fix their mistake. Sheesh! The shop manager finally agreed to do the job for free.

People who drive the speed limit in the left lane on the interstate and there is absolutely no one in the right lane.....that really p*sses me off!

When there's not enough hot chick pictures floating around on IE to get me to 5pm on a Friday.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Seeing parents putting leashes on children. They have hands hold them!

 

[BobD]

Seeing people hold grimy little children when they could just put a leash on them.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Cat fight!

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Carefull I pull hair!

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Parents who think their child is a celebrity and posts daily pictures on facebook. Every. Day. Non stop.

 

[NDdomer2]

the lack of use of the turn signal

 

[Booslum31]

Parents that think their 13 old daughter is going to get a Div-1 scholarship in Volleyball when the kid is short, over-weight (big surprise here), and really doesn't like playing Volleyball in the first place.

You still talking about Vanderdoes?

 

[Booslum31]

No, but has there been any world on where Vanderdoes' sister will be bringing her talents now that Eddie is heading to UCLA?

NDWorld247 and TTownTommy. It is ok. I have been on here for 2 years now and never knew that until today.

LA - There are 20K+ members on this forum now. It is impossible to get along/agree with everyone, and some here would say that is the what makes the site what it is (there are many other positives). However, if the 20 or so individuals who want things how it used to be Google makes "hangouts" now. There is nothing stopping anyone from creating their own group. Don't take this the wrong way, i.e. "I want you to leave IE" because that is the furthest from the truth. You are as much of this site as anyone else (at least in my two years here).

Personally, if the growth of the site is dependent of the success of the football team, I choose growth of the site.

EDIT: Since I have posted this we have somehow lost ~2K in members :S

Dude, I was completely kidding.

Team Whiskey

I know your post was in jest, and no disrespect to you, but it is a lot easier to mod when a certain poster comes in with a different attitude.

That said, the new mods are doing a phenomenal job, as predicted. They're good guys and have the right temperament for the job. I didn't. (But I did for the time when I started and it was the Wild Wild West. As the great Mo Greene said on the Godfather: "I got a business to run. I gotta kick asses sometimes to make it run right. We had a little argument, some members and me, so I had to straighten them out.") I never adjusted though; that's on me.

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Nothing like a random post, to the thread.

No real word as I understand it. She was just a freshman.
