DVDs that don't let you skip the previews.

HungLikeJesus · 05-31-2010, 08:17 PM

I agree Cloud. I've found that if you hit the "next chapter" button on the remote you can often get past them.

Cloud · 05-31-2010, 08:21 PM

I'm watching The Blind Side. Neither the skip to the next chapter nor the DVD menu button works during the previews. bugger!

Clodfobble · 05-31-2010, 09:40 PM

Does the Fast Forward button work through those? It does on ours. At least then you only have to watch them at 32x.

Cloud · 05-31-2010, 10:14 PM

it might--forgot to try that. too late now! wow! good movie!

and a few more for good measure: !!!!!

So I deposit a $200 POSTAL money order on Sat at my bank. Today it still has not posted and when I called they said it would post tomorrow at 8am. Now had I cashed the money order at the bank on Saturday and then turned around at the same teller deposited the cash it would have shown up right away.

WTF? I understand holding checks but not Postal MOs.

They'll do anything they can to delay you getting your money; these sorts of transaction delays are an interest-free loan to them. Multiply your transaction by the millions of transactions they handle every day, and it adds up to quite a bit.

Bureaucracy. Too smegging long to explain here in full and totally not worth it. Bypass paperwork, approximate desired goal within own resources.

And in unrelated matters, I spent over four hours in meetings today.

Oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Puffed sleeves.

they're everywhere, and they just don't look good on women of a certain age and build.

Shawnee123 · 06-03-2010, 09:55 PM

Are they as bad as Jerry's puffy sleeves?

But I don't wanna be a pirate!

The saving grace of the Mute button shows its true measure.

I chipped my fucking tooth (filling on my front tooth) and sliced my earlobe whilst shaving so bad that it was unable to stop the bleeding for a fucking hour. I might be more than a little irritated.

HungLikeJesus · 06-06-2010, 10:44 PM

Is that like an egg tooth?

TheDaVinciChode · 06-06-2010, 10:46 PM

The fact that it's so hot, my fridge feels like it's a mile away from my chair...

... and also, that I don't own a helper monkey. That's damned irritating.

(Think if I took a hobo in, from the streets, and fed it... it'd work as my helper monkey?)
