This. The sheriff announced a crack down on slow left lane drivers. I don't normally side with cops, but I'm all in on this one.

Watch standard definition channels on HD televisions when they are paying for the HD package.

I am old now. I remember back in the early 60's when color TV was coming out, my grandad was angry at the TV station because they were "not sending me my color". He only had a black and white TV.
But I love him anyway.

Exactly. Every morning when I'm riding into work it's not the 60 year old lady driving the speed limit with both hands at 10 & 2. What scares me is the stupid 20 yr old trying to do 80 in a 60 MPH zone who can't hear anything due to their ear buds blaring their suck arse music while they are weaving from lane to lane 2" from the car in front of them while checking their twitter.

They really need to figure out some way to block 4G from the inside of automobiles. I watch every day and see car after car of people, the vast majority of them younger women, barreling down the road not paying the least bit of attention to anything other than the screen of their smart phone. But they are not alone. I see plenty of younger guys doing this as well except they tend to go about 10 to 15 miles faster.

Most don't get their money back. It doesn't appear that I will.

The overriding point here is your beef is with the gov't, not old lizard skinned farts.

I go to a local grocery store almost daily for lunch. They have a great selection at their hot bar. But I always get stuck behind some old fart who wants to inspect every piece of fried chicken before choosing. He'll grab a piece with the tongs, turn it this way and that, put the piece down. Choose another piece and do the same. Old people annoy me.

DGAF about most of the meaningless shite that's dumped on daily life. Like Realty TV and mindless sitcoms. The hottest new wimpy-indie rock band. Impressing broads with looks, money, careers and other things that we learned long ago were superficial bullshite. Clothes, cars, houses, and anything that costs more than a week's groceries or a pair of blue jeans at Wal-Mart. DGAF: it may be the one and only compensation for aging, but if so, I'll take it.

Block lanes at the grocery store with their basket so nobody can pass, and then give you a dirty look when you ask them to move to the side. (the reason I never go to Dorignac's)

I'm old and drive about 10 mph over the speed limit and I don't mind driving in the right hand lane so faster drivers can have the left lane, but if a-hole gets on my bumper on a two lane road I slow it down, way down, and take pleasure doing it.

My parents do this. They have these huge flat screen TVs, but when we go over there, they are, for example, watching channel 3 in all it's cropped glory and without the full picture instead of channel 803, which is hi-def and would actually use their full screen. Also, on DVDs, they have their setting to somehow letterbox the wide screen dvds on a wide screen TV. Haven't figured that out yet, my son fixes it every time we go there, but the next time, it's back to letterbox and standard def tv.
