Just to be clear, is it the brushing or the question that occurs on a weekly basis?

You're just driving the wrong car.

When you are losing the battle with baldness, you appreciate every last hair that stays rooted.

In unrelated news, let's add griping about threads getting moved to the list.

Radio commercials for house flipping/real estate investment/get rich quick scheme seminars. I can’t believe people still fall for that [BLEEP]. If you’re idiotic enough to give them your money, then I laugh at your loss.

But their patented system is GUARANTEED to make you money!  If you buy the upgraded package, they say you might even be on TV!

On a kinda related note... I get those “we will buy your house” cards/letters in the mail daily! Just because I bought my house at a time when they were pretty much giving them away in the area and paid less than a new car for it doesn’t mean I don’t know what it’s worth now! If anyone is going to make a butt ton of money on my house...it’s going to be me!!!  Angry

I get those all the time as well.  My guess is because our home has been paid off for quite some time plus last year we just bought some more property.

Why, sure it does!

Though, I don’t consider it trivial because I’m pissed the [BLEEP] off, when you opt to pay an additional 30 dollars in shipping to get something today, been home all day, and get an email from Fedex saying business closed or no one home, refer to orange sticker.  I’ve been home all day, have no orange sticker.  [BLEEP] didn’t even come by.  Package does not require a damn signature anyway.

Btw, this purchase can also be included in the Wanting Things Thread.  Besides the point. UPS doesn’t pull this crap.

It would be nice to opt out of those ads though. You asked for trivial annoyances. I know I can just mute or take a 20 second break to get something to drink, just annoying to have to.
