I don't know why, but it bugs me even more when it's a cigar-related business, i.e., Stars and Stripes Cigars, or whatever.
Like we always say, if people are going to buy it, somebody's gonna make it and sell it. So maybe it's the dupes who think they're being patriotic with a 'special' cigar who should draw any ire.
DMV offices! Bought a new car June 9. Tried to transfer vanity plates to new car at dealer. DMV had names wrong on registration ( missing Jr on mine, Kandice A on wifeys ), so couldn’t transfer. Gave us new plates so we could drive it. Made an appointment at DMV ( only available 2 weeks later.) An hour and half after our appointment time, they finally called us up. Took another half hour for them to understand that we wanted to transfer the old plates to new car, and cancel the new registration the dealer gave us. Tried to charge us 89 dollars plus the 20 dollar transfer fee. No, I just paid 255 dollars at the dealership for new plates. Finally a supervisor came over and okayed it for just the 20 dollar transfer fee. 3 hours, with an appointment! This is a long story! Get home, and there’s a notice from DMV to renew my license! Went online to renew, but wouldn’t let me online because of the “fire apperatus” endorsement! I have never even been in a fire truck, let alone drive one! But there it was on my drivers license! So I have to make another “appointment “ ! Crazy stuff!
I hate how dumb my spellcheck is. It is more certain I'm trying to spell "throe" than "there" which was what I was going for, but my primitive methods resulted in skipping an e. Further evidence this spellcheck is dumb is when I looked up throe, (because I couldn't imagine throe in a sentence in my head without adding an s), I was vindicated because ALL usage examples I found were plural, ALL of them, EVERY online dictionary I consulted, so why the F***! didn't it ask me if I wanted to spell throes? I have never heard of a single throe.
I hate how hard this forum is to navigate for new members. All the old threads show up as new, a trap for unintentional necroposts, and it's hard to find the common threads that people post in.

I hate traffic. A couple of weeks ago when I was coming back from the MKE herf, I had successfully avoided almost all major metropolitan areas, but I was ready to make my biggest mistake of the trip. As I was returning I assumed I could breeze through Nashville on a Sunday evening at 8:00 pm because maybe everyone had settled down for the evening to get ready for the work week. Well, that didn’t work. It was in reality the beginning of the work week for the construction crews who were trying to repair the roadways around Nashville without disruption of daytime rush hour traffic. Here I was less than 30 minutes from home, delayed by at least an hour. They had entirely shut down the exit to I-24 the main artery to Murfreesboro. And traffic was so jammed up I couldn’t get off at any exit because most were closed by construction. I had to travel west on 440 and turn south on I 65 which was currently choked down to one lane. The two main arteries running south out of Nashville, and there was one lane available to me. I was going nuts. I would rather drive an extra hour through some rural area than sit in traffic any length of time jammed in with those other drivers.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Bob. Something like that can scar a person for life. It has obviously left a lasting imprint in your psyche. One can only hope you heal well, and can use this as a means of growth and inner vitality. Just know we're all here for you and we're pullin' for you.
I hate when there’s a bunch of dumb posts and necro bulls**t bulking up page one and I have to go to page two to find the meme thread.
Peter knows how hard it is getting to page two.

When you are in a traffic jam most everyone behind you consider you to be part of the problem.

I tried mine that day and it overcompensated each way. 2024 Titan gave too much gas followed by too much braking. It could have worked if it had a lighter touch. I have had some success with smaller SUV Nissan vehicles during rolling traffic jams.

Good thing you have time for all this nonsense now, Charles.

Come to think of it you are right, I haven't either.
In the throes of a dilemma.
I'm definitely a hater today..
1) I hate having to work so hard, and go all the way to Page 2 to find this thread.
2) I hate that there isn't some kind of test, like a general IQ test you have to pass before you can register for this forum.
3) I hate it when I get exclusionary.
I blame the hot weather. No way it's my black-as-coal heart. No way.

It is more weird and clunky than ideal. But it seems the vast majority get it right almost immediately, even dummies like me.
If it's set to newest posts first there is no problem. Unfortunately, I think you have to open a bunch before it knows what is new for you.

Blame @Vulchor!

When I let them merge they like it. Even if they don’t wave, I know they like it.

You'd rather he stomped it out on your rug? Did you have your cigar & pipe smoking only sign displayed?
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Dropping my lighter on the concrete floor and it doesn't want to light now.

Garage, brother, garage. I just don't care for the smell of the smashed cigarette. Yes, I admit to my snobbery. 🧐
