Hunting season. Too many people are off of work so they can go shoot bambi. I say bring in more wolves and let them control the deer population. Besides, the deer apparently aren't nearly as dumb and they seem. I had 7 of them in my back yard last Friday morning. I hadn't seen a deer at all back there since this time last year...also right at the beginning of hunting season.
Dear Turn 10 Studios: If you can't program the (alleged) AI not to hit other people in an R1, please give me the option of declining an R1 race in favor of a production car race.
And if it's not technically possible, can you at least give me back half of the purchase price, since I can only use half of the game? C'mon..I put up with the inability to turn off all that "ghost car" E36 M3. You owe me.

Some BS about more time for farmers or something? The farmers around here don't seem to work on a timeclock...they work all the time, even harvesting corn with their combines before 0530. Damn the darkness.
I fully agree with this.

not sure what your complaint is .... what we're experiencing now ISN'T daylight savings time ..... it's EASTERN STANDARD TIME ... as in the way things were before the gument got involved and started changing the clocks ...
it daylight savings time had never been "invented" you wouldn't have anything to complain about since the current conditions are all you'd ever known...

I dislike the time change. It screws with my internal 'clock', worst during the whole 'spring forward' thing. There's no benefit that I can see either. Makes me want to move to Arizona.
That there is a "no trespassing" sign. Any idea what it might mean?

Dear USB flash drive makers,
Size matters. Longer is OK, thicker is not. Look carefully at the width and thickness of your drives, so that I can actually use two USB devices in paired USB ports. That's kind of the idea, isn't it?
Berking canker sore. This hurts. 
Dear GMAIL, I know my browser is outdated, but I don’t have admin rights on my work computer so I can’t do any berkeleying thing about it. Please give me a box to tick saying ‘Don’t remind me again’ rather than telling me in big letters and now pop up down load screens every time I go there.

The problem with that is they now want to add a Wolf hunting season too. Where do you stop, hunter hunting season? Working in the auto industry, we get next Friday off ostensibly to observe Veterans day, but in reality they used to have too many people 'sick' for the start of bambi day so they just made it official.
I am here for your safety. Follow my directions.
To whom it may concern:
I am eating lunch. Calling 50 times will not make me drop my hamburger so you can talk for 15 minutes about your 308.
Sincerely,
Duke of Understeer.

Then talk to us about their 308 instead 
Dear eBay,
STOP E-MAILING ME. Seriously.
No, really.
Dear thestig99,
Start using the unsubscribe button and change your eBay settings. Seriously
No, really.
They only e-mail me when it's important and I I sell a metric ton of crap on there.

Dear universe;
Where did all those sub $2000 MB 300SDs I used to see on CL EVERY DAY go?
To the German engineer who decided to use those little press-in square nut-serts that aircooled VW fenders bolt to:
Worst. Berkeleying. Idea. Ever.

Ok this is a rant.
Guy backs into my car last week, breaks my bumper. Gives me an expired insurance card because he can't find his current one. I call (Mercury) and they play phone tag with me for a few days before I speak to the person handling the claim, who informs me the guy isn't on Mercury any longer and actually has Farmers (same as me) and that he has filed a claim. I call Farmers and give my side of the story and learn that he is claiming that I rear ended him. Now I have to wait for an investigation. I am so furious right now.
advice I've received in the past .... no matter how trivial the MVA seems ... call the po-po and have a report generated ... yeah yeah I know ... 20/20 hind-sight and all that
Yeah also furious at myself
Dear co-worker,
Berkeleying berk you. We were assigned to double-drive to BFE. I have a family at home and want to be back there, not sitting in some crappy cafe for 4 hours while you get lost because you forgot a map and can't use a smart phone. Berk you!

Personal experience: Get you, the other party, and the insurance adjuster together in the same room. Tell your story, then stare at him while he lies. Do not interrupt him. He will change details, and look shifty. You will appear angry, confident and honest.

now, take a couple of those, and put them inside a fully boxed frame, then you have some assembly line chucklehead cross thread the bumper mounting bolts into them so that when someone later goes to install a hitch, the threads are seized to the bolt, and it breaks off with no way to get at the broken off nutsert. then you will have nissan
These were in an inaccessible area inside the bodywork, and once they've started spinning, you are hard pressed to make any progress loosening the fastener. Meanwhile, the (ridiculously flimsy) fender is waving in the breeze, held on only by this one bolt.
I think I pulled 3 of them through the body cause they started spinning.
