Things That Annoy You

If I liked well done steaks I'd give up and become a vegetarian.  What's the point?

Who wouldn't want to cook a $100 Kobe steak down until it's indistinguishable from a $2 Wal-Mart steak?

I recently learned that, in most parts of Canada, restaurants have to serve beef well done. Maybe it's just hamburger meat, but they're required to char the heck out of it. Their burgers look like lumps of coal.

Yes, its only for ground beef.  Also same laws in certain states, and some even have an age minimum(must be 18 or older) to order a non well done hamburger.

I wouldnt order mid-rare burger from any restaurent.

Steaks a whole other game.  Yummy!

And why the hell does every appliance need to have a time function in the first place?!?!

I don't know but my microwave is always asking me what time it is. None of its GD business. Just wait until your smart home has smart internet-connected appliances. You'll be getting emailed complaints from your refrigerator, your dishwasher will be bad-mouthing your sink... you know, progress.

That's so the hidden cameras in the new applicances can have an accurate time-stamp.



or perhaps...

Is steak tartar illegal in all of Canada? What about runny eggs? Here (3-603.11 Consumption of Animal Foods that are Raw, Undercooked, or Not Otherwise Processed to Eliminate Pathogens) you must be warned, usually on the menu, but you can still get steak tartar, raw oysters, Caesar salad, rare steak, runny eggs, your hamburger how you want it cooked, etc.

Yeah, I can't wait for the "internet of things." I'm purposely skewing my clocks so they aren't in synch and putting some magnets and EMF transmitters by my 'smart' meter in hopes of disrupting the system.

With regards to steak tartar, Health Canada has more concern of the raw egg used to prepare steak tartar tthan the uncooked steak itself.

I have been able to order any and all of the products on your list up here.

Thanks for the report. Cant imagine some place, esp, our friends in the Great White North, can't have some good eggs for breakfast!!

That's understandable.

Watching a local news story about the over prescribing of opiods and the b-roll they are showing is piles of bagged marijuana.

Just saw this article about another GM recall http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2016/03/29/gm-recalls-nearly-6300-police-cars-for-steering-problem/
   I am invested in GM's problems since my Monte Carlo has had 2 that have been addressed in questionable ways.... My ignition can turn off unexpectedly, so GM's repair is to fill in the hole on my key so nothing, not even the remote can be placed on it, (kinda like them disconnecting the A/C because it can cause a defective radiator to get hot) 2nd recall is due to an oil leak on the front valve cover that can set my car on fire.. Gm's solution is to replace the valve cover with a different color one and remove what they are now calling the "vanity cover", formerly called the "injector shield" before the problem existed. So the cop cars are being recalled for a power steering issue, so I have to guess that GM may fix this by removing the tires and wheels... Voila, no more steering issues.... bunch of friggin geniuses at GM. I swear....

Just turned on the deuce and seeing a USA soccer match and the banner slogan for the USA is "Una Nacion." USA! USA! USA! Una Nacion, I guess is the new chant?

Sort of like voting a few weeks ago and seeing "Vote Aqui" signs everywhere (which is even weirder because, what, there is no Spanish word for "vote?")

Friggin avocados.  Take forever to ripen, then they're good for like a half hour before they mushify.

I'm annoyed by advertisements for serious medical conditions that use " actor portrayed "  posers.
Like the two sisters, one with cancer ?, looking all dazed and spaced out. Then you see the same people in
a different ad for car insurance or whatever. It doesn't seem fair to the people who really have problems.
  That, plus all the disclaimers for the so called remedies.

Ha, the side effects are 10x worse than the symptoms that are supposed to be alleviated. And what the hell is up with the "...moderate to severe" [insert disease here]. Either it's moderate or it's severe. It's like saying moderate to severe pregnancy. :

Also the juxtaposition between these care-free people, frolicking on beaches, hanging out at barbeques, playing golf ... while a whole host of troubling side-effects are enumerated.

The only outside bathtub I like is the one in the great tv show "The Fall Guy" because I imagined bathing with Heather Thomas in it. No Viagra or Cyallis would be needed. (And one of the best theme songs.)
