Cranky Old guy's Griping...

[IXLR8]

Cranky old are free be cranky about anything but "Cranky old guy's"...

I'll start:
Don't you hate modern toothpaste tubes? You roll 'em up and the next time you go to use it, you have roll it all up again. It was better when they were made out of lead sheets...

Oooh. I think I am home.
Okay, first up: automated phone systems that require that you push 1 for English. English is a requirement to be a citizen, so WTF? Also, usually only Spanish is offered, which is extremely rude to native Korean and Tagalog speakers. WTF?

I don’t like to call myself an old guy but…. I can’t stand it. Now I have a 5 year old son and he has some kids toothpaste that comes out of some stupid plastic slide tube…. Horrible design!

I also work for Chevrolet in parts and service. Also puts me over the edge when you give a price to a customer and then he looks it up on Amazon right in front of you and says….. I can get it cheaper on here! Although I’m sometimes guilty of the Amazon purchase.

How about the stupid-ass glue they use on toilet paper now? By the time I get it liberated it looks like a T Rex got ahold of it.

That's lame. I just hum the RockAuto.com theme song as they look it up...

Or they ask for the correct part number so then they can just order it online. But again…. I’m guilty and always want a deal too. I just tell them let me know how rock auto/amazon warranty works out for you when you’re sitting on the side of the road

That's when you just use the whole roll. Wipe, turn 90 degrees and repeat until you have gone around the world. Then take the roll and huck it over your neighbor's fence and yell "Grenade!"

 

[Tmag109]

lol! Where does a person even come up with that idea?!?! Haha

 

[Wudidiz]

I'm getting tired of the TV local news channels. What the hell does having a chef make stew have to do with the news? Just give me the news (and without your liberal slanted comments on issues).

Amazon will sell you a Chinese knockoff in a lookalike package. If it works at all, it'll fail in short order.
Rock Auto on the other hand will stand behind their product, and give you a lot less hassle about a replacement than your local stealership. If I already have the GM part #, I've been known to order it from gmpartsdirect.com in years past, no idea what it's like now.

Voice response. (I think it’s called IVR) I friggin hate it. Customer service calls and they tell you to state what the issue is. I’d much rather do the hit 1 for billing and 2 for other. It is absolutely degrading to talk to a computer about my issue in order to rout to the correct dept.

Add to that, I can’t recall how many times I go through a customer service menus where I’m prompted to key in my information. Once I’m talking to a live person, they ask me for the same info all over again.

This thread was a mistake to start. I can go on for hours about the idiocy of modern commerce

 

[Tmag109]

You’re right…. Dealership prices are ridiculous at times. But you just gotta come to the right parts guy to get the good price

 

[IXLR8]

If the frickin Chinese made anything as good as their elaborate and expensive packaging, I would buy it... Might burn it, haven't decided until I open it. They can make the Russian stacking dolls seem like child's play..

Let's talk about the left lane again.

Let's talk about the left lane again.

You mean the "Facebook Posting Lane" ?

 

[Tmag109]

Or when the light turns green and everybody has to wait til that person is done with their post before they can take off

 

[Vaquero]

Thanks guys.
I needed something to be pissed off about.

The "black Friday" sales that started last week and "cyber Monday" sales that started. Takes the meaning out of the names.
