Running this irritates me thread

Damn, blacktitleist. I was on my way to posting some smart-ass, completely irrelevant and trivial annoyance. Instead, my thoughts go out to you and your wife. I know what it's like, for what it's worth.

I share your pain.. more than you'll ever know...

Hey, it's no fun going through this sordid business called life without getting to become our grandfathers at some point. And that partly involves complaining about fat people/unruly children on planes.

It's bad enough being around a kid who can't sit still, but the confined space of an aircraft cabin is too much to ask.

Bring Your Kids to Work Day.

Possibly the worst idea of all time.

People who sit in the left lane of a four-lane highway (two lanes in each direction), going less than the speed limit, while ignoring the line of cars behind them trying to pass. Don't these idiots realize it's the passing lane?

Oh, and I'm sick of hearing the term, "Survive and Advance" every time an NCAA tournament team wins a game. You won the ****ing game. It's what you were trying to do. Did you think you were going to lose it? Stop giving it a slogan.

Agree with you on the left-lane hogs, especially when you have a semi breathing down your neck.

As for the "survive and advance" cliché, the only way that is applicable is the Native American game with a vertical hoop where they killed the losing team. That'd make for great ESPN highlights!

Was at the driving range yesterday hitting balls.

Redneck trash behind me comes up yapping away loudly on his cell phone. I wanted to hit him with my 5 iron. Kindly step away from the ****ing range if you want to talk on your phone. Right on the range isn't the place to do it. He had three redneck idiots with him, and I wasn't in the mood for confrontation, which is why I didn't say anything. But damn.

Raises one of my great pet peeves -- people who demand absolute quiet on the golf course. You can yell and laugh and shoot off cannons when I am hitting the ball, I don't give a rat's. I wouldn't do it, but I really don't care if others do.

Make the game more fun than a funeral.

I don't demand absolute quiet. You can't get rid of ambient sound (birds, planes overhead, etc.) anyway. But this dude was right behind me yapping like he was in his office. Not cool. Saw someone else talking on his phone, but he was away from the range under a tree so he wasn't bugging everybody else. There's a happy medium, for sure.

I'm with cosmo on this. While a personal preference might not dictate total silence, there are rules of decorum involving golf, and NOT talking is one of them.

Even if it's just the driving range.

Don't limit it to the driving range. It sounds like something that would give me the red ass in many settings.

Yeah, go ahead and say it: holy bull = UCLA library chick
