People on the freeway who suddenly change lanes without turning on their indicator signal lights to let you know their intentions.

Speaking of grocery stores: don't you hate it when you're looking in (say) the pasta aisle and you see some other patron plopped a box of cornflakes in the middle of the shelf? Would it kill you to go back to the cereal aisle and replace the box where it's supposed to be?

Those creepy people who show up here every day to lurk in the chatroom... but almost never post in the forum except to drive-by troll and attack the real contributors.  If we had any real moderators on here... this wouldn't be happening, especially the latter.

I didn't know that was a thing. On the now-rare occasions when I stop by the chat, there's only me and one other person there. So I return to the safety and the comfort of the Forum instead.

Yeah, no that doesn’t bother me at all.  LOL!  Why do I care?  I don’t.  I am now on a mission to displace as many items as I can each time I visit the supermarket!

I was looking at electric motorcycle from Zero co. They sell you the motorcycle, but to get the full feature of the bike you have to buy the apps to run all the feature. So they sell you the motorcycle fully loaded and weighted down with all the apparatus that could be enable by radio the full feature but start at a base price of bare minimal feature. The bare minimal is shorter mileage of each charge and slower recharging. No heated handle bars and heated seat. and bare speedometer information gauge. The bike is loaded with all the batteries you would need for a full charge, but now have to haul dead weight until you pay for the usage of the extra batteries.

That's the worst kind of nickel-and-diming

you can't even sell the bike with the software, its non-transferable! The software is on yearly leasing!

[TheZookie007]

That makes it even worse! Ugh.

What kind of idiotic business process is this that simply alienates your customers ? It's simply stupid.

Yeah, I find it mind boggling myself.

As I understand it, the concept of "par" in golf is what the course designer feels is the number of strokes it should take a typical player to finish the hole / course / round. So a golfer need not consider any other golfers when playing; it's built in.

So why does Every. Single. Golf. Game. for Android I've come across so far demand that you compete with another player, even to the extent of requiring Internet access to function?

WGT Golf.
PGA Golf Tour Shootout.
Golf King.
Golf Rival.

All highly rated, they all look great, and "say" they are "free", but you are REQUIRED to have an Internet connection. And good luck finding a single-player mode!

This is coming off as an "Old Man Yells At Clouds" thing, but I'm really peeved. Way back when, a game on CD that I purchased (don't remember which one; I might even still have it) had, as an extra, a "demo" version of a golf game. You only got to play one course, and it was the same three holes repeated six times, but it was designed for solo play. No Internet needed. And you could still tweak things like course conditions and what your "avatar" was wearing. A great little game, even as a demo! How can it be so hard to make something like that for Android?

I wonder if this is a women thing, but I go to my sister house, and I have been at others houses run by female. They all turn the AC on at nite during the winter time. Why are they racing to make the house cold at nite, when nature outside will make the house cold all naturally? Then at 8am in the morning they turn the heat on full blast. To me its like shock treatment.
