Some people that leave reviews on allrecipes dot com are idiots. Ratings go from 1 to 5, and I see all kinds of them where the person gives a recipe a 3 and says something like "It was VERY bland, I didn't use ingredients x, y, z, a, b, c, d and e, because I didn't have them on hand" or "I traded THIS ingredient for THAT, and THIS for THAT, and THIS, THIS, and THIS: the recipe calls for fresh but I used canned, and it didn't come out very well". I even saw one where someone gave a recipe a 1 and said "I didn't try this recipe because it has SO much sugar, and I'm diabetic". I saw another where someone complained about a recipe and admitted they used TURKEY in place of SHRIMP and SCALLOPS. I wonder why that didn't work out very well.

I don't care for some of those comments either, but I truly find some of them to be very funny because of the things people switch and do in the recipes. I do like that website a lot. I use to find many different recipes to try and make and have been successful with my attempts at cooking recipes.

I like it also. Ever try the "caramel apple cheesecake?" It's REALLY good, and I'm not much of a fan of cheesecake.

stereo systems that don't allow you to open/close the CD tray unless it's actually on 'CD' mode...sounds minor but this always annoys me

I have a 400 disc DVD changer that will also play CDs and MP3 CDs, and DVD-+R, BUT will NOT play MP3s from a DVD-+R. No reason not to, it can read the disc, it can understand the file system, and it can play MP3s, , it has everything it needs, but, no love at all. Just plain dumb.

Toasters. There is no rhyme or reason as why and when they decide to burn toast. I've had one that would randomly choose to just burn one side. I think, as I have mentioned elsewhere, they are evil.

bah...I hate stuff like that

I've got a couple of CD albums which have a 'secret track' you can hear by putting it in the player, then rewinding backwards before track 1. what hacks me off is I can't turn any of these tracks to mp3 because no computer drive will recognise them

I hate when I'm watching a porno film, it's just starting to get reeeeeal interesting, and I suddenly become aware that one or more cats are STARING AT ME!

It really ticks me off when I wash my car and then birds crap all over it.

That happened the other day.
I took my car to the car wash and even paid extra to add the wax and non-spot rinse.
Then, I drive out to my parent's house for dinner and when I come out to leave, there's about 15-20 splotches of bird s**t all over my car.

Roadworks during school holidays - any benefit from there being less peak time traffic is lost

Sunday.
The whole day is boring.
Lets get rid of it and have two Saturdays.

I hate any TV that displays some on-screen icon letting you know that it's on mute. I'm the one who put it on mute, how dumb do you think I am?

It bugs me when I'm in public and a girl catches me checking out her ass and then she pulls her shirt down over it so I can't see it anymore.
It's even worse when the girl is smokin' hot and does it. WTF is that about?
I can understand homely women who have low self esteem doing it. But when the girl is hot?

It also happens when I'm with a group of my friends and we're walking behind some girls. All of them will do it.

Or just yesterday in my computer science class, there was this sexy girl wearing a short shirt that showed her belly button. She caught me looking at her and put a sweatshirt on!
Why the heck did she wear a short shirt if she didn't want guys looking at her?

It's not like my friends and I are hideous C.H.U.D.'s or anything.
C'mon ladies. If you got it, flaunt it. Don't hide it!
