Against the grain

[KYGOTC]

I really, really hate the smell and taste of coffee.

Same here.  For some I reason I never got started drinking the stuff, I hate the taste of it.  Over the years the smell has gotten more and more appalling to me.

hawhaw, dude, you missed like a whole SUb-THREAD about this a few pages back.

I think Olympic Curling is actually quite interesting to watch.

I think curling is the only reason we watch the winter games here in Scotland after some good results over the years.

Our US men's team is 0-4, but on a brighter note, our women's team is only 0-2

The Swiss did for Britain's Men today.

I don't mind watching (some) award shows, but I really hate the goddamn musical performances.  I don't give a rat's burning ass about Fall Out Boy or Lady Gaga, just tell me who best picture is!    Thankfully, not every awards banquet is like this.

[Rev. Powell]

Even as a kid, I was never much interested in anything superhero related.

Actually, I find that most of them are. I had a particular love-hate relationship with the Ontario Community Newspapers Association awards banquet. Quit padding the thing out with inside jokes and crappy tributes and hand out the damn trophies.

Hell, I've seen fall fairs where kids have waited through speeches and singers to find out who won two bucks for the best decorated bike in the parade. Cripes, these are little kids who are itching to get on the midway. Don't make them stand around through stuff that would put a grownup to sleep.

I think blackface is hilarious. sue me.

[Mr. DS]

Granted I'm not a huge fan but I've seen much worse comedians than Carrot Top.

It makes me so mad when you're driving on the road and you see someone in the car in front of you throw wrappers from burgers or whatever out the window! 

[JaseSF]

Silverlady I don't think you're alone there at all...someone did that once when I was driving and the damn wrapper and cup nearly came right on top of my windshield   ...had I had a cellphone, I would have phoned and reported the driver.

By which I should clarify I would have pulled over and parked and then phoned. People driving and talking on cellphones is something else which I hate but truth be told, I hate cellphones in general which is why I don't own one (although I suppose they might prove useful in an emergency). I've seen people in towns driving around talking on cells...yeah like your reaction time is really going to be enough when you're distracted to stop then if someone unwittingly pops out on the road in front of you...don't think so.

The ones that bug me are the smokers flicking butts out the window of the car in front of me. At night, I can see the thing throwing sparks as it bounces back at my car. I have a lot less tolerance for smoking than I used to have, but I won't argue with a person's right to do it privately. But please dispose of the butt properly. I don't like seeing them all over the ground, and I sure don't appreciate seeing them flying at me on the road.

Cig butts are the most disgusting when you're digging in the sand at the beach and you come across one.

Or when you're at the playground with the kids, and you have to warn them not to pick the things up because some a$$holes like to sit around there at night and chuck their butts where kids will be playing the next day.

or when your at your own home and you have friends who smoke and 'accidentally' leave it on your new bamboo floor.

Oh man! If that was my house! I'd "accidentally" re-light it and put it out on their faces!  That's so rude!  I hate messy guests!
