FaceBook ads that are trying to sell products /services that are fake or very misleading (( programming boot camps, web services, miracle cures, political cow manure, etc )).
Anyone who shares blatantly fake social media cow manure ( cure cancer with X , fake political news, etc ).
Anyone who uses news media, blogs, wiki-how, YouTube, or any other garbage references as 'source material' for their 'research'.

I don't use facebook but I watch a lot of youtube videos. I use Mozilla Firefox and Adblock Plus and it blocks all ads. Would that work for facebook?Originally Posted by RLS0812
In my experience adblock plus does a pretty good job with facebook ads on Firefox. Also use noscript and ghostery which likely both help a little too toward that end.

1. Fraudulent buyers on Feebay, oops... I mean Takeallofyourprofitsandblameeverythingonyoubay. I know it's part of the game, but it still makes me mad every time it happens.
2. Having to pee when there is a line
3. When people won't let you buy something of value that they are throwing away at the dump
4. When that perfectly stacked pile of scrap in the shop somehow tips over
5. Getting a mountain of control boards tested and finding a random one in the corner
6. Taking something apart that I later find out was actually worth quite a bit in resale value

I use adblock also.
Can't say I recall last time I saw an add on my Facebook now that I think about it. Only ads I normally see are for pages I've liked. I'm going to check into the ones JJ posted I think. Some sites get around Adblock but they are rare for me.
Pisses me off? I answered this before, but now that I'm older, a tad bit wiser...When I think my cooler still has something it it, but then it turns out it doesn't. This makes me sad. Not sad enough to weep but close!
Also...Bacon not cooked properly. If you can't cook it right...DON"T COOK IT!
People who don't use turn signals. Then they get mad at you for looking at them like an idiot or not reading their minds for what they're going to do next.
People who don't realize...that you bright ass headlights might be helping you but their blinding me you idiot, cause I'm coming TOWARDS you.
/facepalm
I need more goats so they can eat the souls of the people who act stupid.
I would have very fat goats.

Drop me a PM if you don't mind KZ. Jack is good people.
An I'm replying to a very old post with this one but..it reminded me of the song. It's a reply to a old 2015 post in this thread about old flags that KZ posted about.

Denver traffic.
No one near me knows how to drive legally or even reasonably, or go the speed limit as in they go 10-15MPH BELOW the limit.
People camp out in the passing lane but don't pass anyone. I went around someone on I-225 recently that was in the passing lane doing 55 or slower. Speed limit is 65. Clearly marked several places. I got the idiot head shake as if I had done something wrong when I passed. I hadn't been tailgating either. I just went by normally.
People that don't know what to do at a stop sign after they stop. They will sit and wait at the stop sign, for minutes sometimes... waiting for you to get there instead of going when they have the right-of-way. I could see doing that if the car approaching was just flying or something but such is not the case almost ever. I feel as if they are waiting for everyone to arrive at 4 way stop signs so that everyone can get out and introduce themselves and ask each other how their day is going, where they were born etc... then politely decide who has the most urgent issue and who should go first while leaving their car doors open and cars running (lots of stolen cars from people that "puff" around here) "You go!", "Naw you go Margery, you've got perishable groceries and 2 hungry little dogs at home"
That said I try not to get uptight about things.

As much as I want to complain, the fact is that I live in the US and compared to what other people go through I dont have a dang thing to whine about. Well, millennials...but that goes without saying...
For me every time I want to piss and moan about something small I hope I remember your statement.
20 yrs in the USMC I have witnessed many places in the world much less nice(in my opinion) than I've had to contend with in the U.S. 73, Mike

I'm embarrassed to say this because it's so petty. If I go to get some gas for my truck and I can't pay at the pump, I will drive across the street to the other gas station instead of going inside and paying.
Spoiled and lazy, I know.
And a little funny. I will pay a few pennies more per gallon if its more convenient to get in and our of a gas station. Mike

Related to that...after done pumping and it says, "see cashier for receipt"...kind defeats the purpose. I quit going in and *****in and just take a pic now.
People who complain about being bullied on facebook. Isn't there an off button or something that only lets in the folks you want to communicate with??

My thoughts on -
Colorado/Denver Traffic and driving Antics - Haha. You got a bunch of stoners. Hence the driving slow, waiting for STOP SIGNS to change from red to green, trying to remember where you put drive, figure out the blinky light in the corner of your gauges..I tease, calm down any offended stoners out there. No need to put down the edibles an bongs. Just a joke.
Paying at the pump - I never do it if I can help it. Cash discount exists at a lot of places on the sandbar. Combine that with whatever savings card for whatever gas station an your talking 5 to 8 cent s a gallon saved. Those kind of savings may not be great for others, but for me...I'll take it.
Living in America and other places having it worse - I'm upset your NOT upset over something. Your welcome. I'm helping ya out.
Seriously though...if you can't cook bacon don't. Empty coolers upset me, and people who lack the ability to use a simple thing like a turn signal...may not really piss me off, it does make me question where people work to be so lazy/stupid or if it comes naturally. I do this while also donating to various causes. Make me feel better about *****ing about the above.
The above post is made in jest, take nothing serious in it, except the part about bacon, coolers, and turn signals.
Thank you.

Indecisive people.
You have 2 choices. Pick one and git a gitten.
If you've never heard that before it basically means s**t or git off the pot. A favorite saying of my grandmother.
