    When people scrape the fork on their teeth while eating. Rather than using their lips, they use their teeth to pull the food off of the fork. :eek:

    That really grinds me gears.

    I'm not really one who sees the benefit in too long dwelling on things that bother me, although I'm sure it gets me sometimes more than it really should, so after the first two or three posts of this thread I kind of let it go, until today, when things were a bit slower, and decided to read a few. I really never expected what I saw had been hanging there for days

    but then again, these posts have lately been becoming increasingly prevalent.
    To the best of my knowledge, when I first signed up here, the statements incurred included a "free to join", although shortly after becoming active on the forum, I did dissable Ad Blocking, as the ads generally are a means of revenue, and a way of supporting the forum. There are many who never come in, but read the forum daily.
    There are also those who lend much more than mere attendance, with their many helpful, thorough, and informative posts, without who's contributions this forum would not exist.
    Are the statements as quoted above, yet another one of the many benefits of becoming a "contributing" member? The added perk of being able, or should it say "qualified", to sit around and belittle the "non-contributing" members? They say that for every roach seen "on" the cabinet, there are a thousand more "in" it. Is this a good example what awaits those who "make it" to the private room?
    Since an injury near ten years ago, I have been qualified to draw free government money, but am yet to even consider asking for the application, or living off of taxpayer dollars. I'm not living fancy, but I'm living free. Fact is though, my personal financial situation, and my personal business decisions are just that, my business
