It has been almost 3 years since anyone vented about what pisses them off in this thread. This is a GREAT THREAD as it helps me blow off a little steam and laugh a little. So I figure that is enough time for steam to build up and for other people to think of new things that they hate. Here are some of mine:
1) Texting and driving.
2) Someone who tries to sound like an expert on something and mispronounces or misuses words related to their so-called area of expertise. For instance, if a scrapper used the term "fair bright copper" I'd really have to wonder.
3) Indecisive people, like someone standing in line in front of me at a fast-food restaurant hemming and hawing about what they want. Hey buddy, step aside. I know what I want!
4) Not having enough money to live really comfortably, but at least I'm working on that one.
5) Taking a load of scrap to the yard and finding that they closed 20 minutes early and there is nowhere else to go that day.
6) People who sell counterfeit items (like gold coins) and blatantly defraud others.
7) Reading an obvious fake news item and trying to contact the author of the article only to find that it is written by "Staff".
8) When I bust my you know what on some project and somebody figures it took me only about 30 minutes to complete it.
9) Getting really excited about a Curb Co. find only to bring it home and find that it is beyond repair, takes up a lot of room, and has a scrap value of about 25 cents.
10) New threads on this site with vague titles like "I've Got a Question". Please- I should be able to tell from the title what your question is about. To title it "Question about stripping copper wire" or "Question about platinum vs. palladium" would be much better and save us all a lot of time.
Thanks in advance.
