Believe me it did not go over well at all and I would be surprised to see that young man have the guts to come over to our house again.

I agree we definitely need to keep this thread going for sure.

Way to go MIller ... I’d be in the same mindset

"Walk up and knock."

Honking is disrespectful to not just the girl and her family. It's also an insult to the entire neighborhood.

Olde Schoole is the best school.

Stinking peasants. When a peon asks me why I don't consistently enforce company policies for all meeting members, I remind them that the texter in question just signed a lease on a pre-owned Audi and his shoes are made of Italian leather.

"Do you drive an Audi, Todd? NO, you don't. You drive a '95 Ford Tempo with a busted tape deck. Now go sell some carpet and remember we're all in this together."

I do believe you missed out on some good fun with this one. You should have brought the kid into the house so he could watch you clean your guns. Then you could have let him know that he must not have gotten a chance to clean up after work, so you could lend him a change of clothes; the most fugliest mismatched hand me down clothes you have. Heck you kids don't want to go out, we're making liver and onions and playing Trivial Pursuit. Don't even think of being on my babies team, it's guys against girls tonight (followed by a hearty noogie). I'd beat that kid down all night and try to find out where his head is at.

If he has enough guts to come over again I will make sure to be sitting on our front porch cleaning my 12 gauge to get ready for the upcoming hunting season

Yea, if you've been seeing somebody for a while and I know them and you are running late.. ok, honk the horn quick.. but on a FIRST DATE? Not a chance.

- Cutting people off/talking over other people is annoying. Once or twice, not a big deal, but some people do this habitually and are annoying.

- People who take stupid, unnecessary and possibly life-altering (not in a good way) risks for no real gain, then justify it with stupid cliches like "You only live once" or "We're all going to die anyway."

- Browns coaches who punt on 4th and 1, especially when they get to midfield and beyond. Alternatively, when down 8 and scoring a touchdown (down 2 pending a point after try), go for the extra point instead of going for 2. That grates my damn nerves!

- Bad/dangerous/inattentive drivers in all their forms

Why do they keep pulling you in for a lineup? Do you just have the look of the typical criminal?

What annoys me is people who go to a public place other than a library and mad when other people are there...…

Honestly, you do realize some kids have issues and cant be "controlled" right? If you don't want to be bothered by that, that's your issue and you should stay home.

you cayou can on the iPhone

OK so I have to update this story about my daughter and the young man and honking his horn.

He was brave enough to come over to our house again today and walked up and introduced himself and shook my hand and said I really apologize Mr. Miller.

He said my dad really let me have it when I got home and asked why I was home so early. He told him what happened and his dad said I am glad Mr. Miller did this as you need to start showing some manners.

He was dressed very nice and very polite this evening so I let him know he could take my daughter out tonight but if he is late he is in trouble.

Yes when they get home I will be sitting on the front porch just happening to be cleaning one of my 12 gauges for hunting season

Did you bring up him flipping you the bird?

Not every kid has issues, and when you are just letting your kids run around while servers are trying to carry out food and drinks, that's on the unbelievably terrible parents. Not to mention that i have no problems with a kid playing on a mobile device, but hey HOW ABOUT SOME HEADPHONES?

so no, that is not my issue. I shouldn't have to be distracted by kids running around a restaurant like it's a god damn playground, or having to hear horrible youtube videos at full blast, because the parents are literally too stupid to plug in headphones.

nice try at clapping back though!

The kid is a loser.

Hopefully, your daughter will come to that conclusion fairly quickly and move on to the next high school suitor.

He's only 18, don't write him off quite yet.

Him trying to do better is a positive sign.

let's see if he can improve himself...

Yep and I told him if he ever does that again to me I will break his middle finger (just kidding of course but I did say that jokingly :))

I also made it a teaching moment for him and told him in this day in age if you do that to someone you do not know (Being in a car etc.) their could be very bad consequences.

Take your father's advice and mine as well and show some manners.

Okay...........enough w/solving problems. This is a b******* thread, dammit!

Sorry for the derailing the thread and I apologize.

To put this back on track I was in line tonight at the grocery store and this lady in front of my took forever to write a check.

I mean seriously, I am old but who writes checks anymore?

No need to apologize. Threads get derailed all the time.

I disagree.

Flipping-off the father of a girl you want to date indicates an underlying personality trait that isn't gonna go away.

Hopefully, it repulses the daughter too.

Consider this:

Go ahead and simply post a picture here of someone giving the bird. In jest. Not even directed at someone.

Your post will be deleted immediately. Do it again and you'll be suspended.

I was joking, my man.

Without being argumentative, let's just say both theories are plausible. Can we at least agree to that?

Agreed.

I'm judging him on behavior standards from when I was that age.

I think kids today are a little more emotionally impulsive.

He just brought my daughter home after playing putter golf and getting ice cream. He was very polite and again apologized so I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt for now but keep a watchful eye on him.

Now let's talk about check's. Seriously who writes a check in a grocery store anymore?

Grinds me gears

OK I just made a double post so that shows how tech savy I am and I can't delete the 2nd one. Sorry about that.

Screaming kids. I'm w/Sperg on this one.

I was at the library today getting some books and videos for my tutoring students and there was this big, fat lady who had two screaming kids running all over the place and throwing things around. She completely ignored them and her fat ass was in chair reading a magazine. Annoying.

I remember when my kids were little. We used to take them to the fanciest restaurants in town. They behaved. I would give them "the look" if they started. I would take them outside and calm them down if they were fussy. It always worked except for one time. My daughter would not stop crying. It was so unusual. We left the establishment because we both felt that it was unfair to others to have their dinners ruined by a crying child.

Guns. Daughters.

First real 'boyfriend" my daughter had was invited over to our house on a Sunday. To shoot clay pigeons. We had 6 people shooting. He didn't want to shoot. But, he finally did.

Later that evening I was texting his mom. I asked what he had said. She replied "He loved it. You were SUPPOSED to intimidate him. Now he just keeps talking about going back to your house to shoot more."

One thing that bugs me is when your driving down the road just cruising along and you see someone else stopped on a side road waiting to turn onto the road your on and that person pulls out in front of you making you to have to slow down and then they just putt along when if they would have just waited at the stop sign a few more seconds it all could have been avoided. And even worse yet is when they do that but turn off a half of mile down the road.

grrrrrrr....


Oh, Dawg- I got another one:

Lane closure notices appear 2 miles in advance of the choke point. Another lane closure notice 1.5 miles prior. 1 mile prior. ½ mile prior. 1,000 yds prior. 500 ft prior.
Electronic warning signs. Flashing lights. Big orange signs with black lettering....

...and 100 yards before the choke point, that 'jerk we all know' zooms up in the discontinued lane, and tries to muscle his way into the queue at the last moment.

When 'Jerk Boy' cruises up to jump my spot- I close ranks, ride bumper like a porn star, make direct eye contact, and mouth the word: "NOPE."

I don't care if Jerk Boy drives an 18-wheeler and outweighs me by tons... he's not getting in front of me. Park your s# in that dead lane with your blinker on, and pray that someone else lets your bully azz in.


I will never be your someone else.

Have to say I see both sides but I'm leaning toward Spergon's side.. the "issue" most kids have is just lack of self-control and discipline.. you see it all the time in the grocery store, restaurants, etc... I love kids, I'm probably one of the few people on the planet who is HAPPY to get on a plane and sit by somebody else's kid for 2 1/2 hours.. as long as the parent is cool with it, I'll talk to the kid the whole flight if they are talkative... I also enjoy seeing kids out with the family, laughing and having a good time at a restaurant.. but in the vast majority of cases, there is no excuse for being super loud or being up out of your seat running around. I also take the kind of restaurant into account.. I mean if it's a McDonalds, ok.. the further up the scale it gets, the better behavior I expect. If I'm dropping $150 on a meal for the wife and I, I shouldn't have kids yelling and running around.

So you expect less from poor people at McDonald's than you do from rich people at upper scale restaurants?

You missed the sign that says "use both lanes until merge point". You are actually supposed use the "zipper" method when merging, and not merge until then. What happens, is everyone starts to get over right away - and that's what backs up traffic.

I just think its bad to judge someone you know nothing about. The "fat" lady at someones library, you have no idea what issues those kids have. There are a lot kids on the spectrum that snatching them up and yelling at them or giving them the "look" will accomplish nothing, and in the long run hurt their development.

I have a friend who has adopted two children that are both on the spectrum. I remember shopping with them, and her son had an "episode" at the grocery store. He was screaming, hitting his head off things. All the while jackass people walking by looking and making comments. His mother has a specific plan when episodes like this escalate, and they have techniques that have been developed by Drs and therapist to try to handle and sooth the situation. And giving them a "look" or snatching them up and removing them is not the answer.

But alas, judgements and condescending comments from others at libraries happen.

This has been a fun thread that many people have enjoyed. You are the only person in it that resorts to petty insults. Will you please stop?

Look will.........we all get that you don't like me. Your attacks are old. I don't like you, either. But, I don't follow you around and constantly criticize you.

Let it go. If you have a real issue w/me..........PM me or meet me face-to-face. Stop ruining threads w/your childish vindictiveness.

fat people at libraries, where in the world did that come from?

I'm sorry that I think parents are terrible for letting their kids run around and be a complete distraction while they flap their gums at the table and let it happen.

As far as kids on a plane go, I have a TON more patience for parents who have to deal with it. It's not fun for anyone. It is the only option when you're trying to go a long distance. If the parents are putting in the effort, you won't hear it from me. If the kid is acting like a complete jackass, and the parent is just sitting there scrolling through their phone? I have a real problem with that. But again, we live in an era where you can't criticize anyone with them getting overly defensive and butthurt about it.

And let's not pretend like most out of control kids in restaurants have some actual issue. Most of this is awful parenting. Kids with actual issues are the exception, not the rule.

Were you j/c? I actually agreed w/you.

Anyway........back to the thread.

One of the most annoying traits a person can have is to make everything about them. I mean......we all share stories when we relate to the stories of others. It's a give and take thing. However, there are some people who always make each conversation about themselves.

For example, you talk about your vacation to Hawaii. Others are listening. One or two people might say they loved Hawaii, too. You are sharing stories of Hawaii. Then, the egotistical "me" person said that Hawaii sucks and can't compare to Bora-Bora and they tell you all about their time there. Alright......they might be right.

In another conversation, people are asking about your trip from SC to Ohio to watch the Buckeyes and Browns on the same weekend. You mention the weather and the "me" person interrupts and says how that "ain't nothing." They then dominate the conversation about the time they drove 200 miles in a blizzard w/the gas tank on empty by snuggling up against the tail of a semi.

Pretty soon, the rest of us figure out that it's always "All about them."

Vers-Man I completely agree that drives me nuts. It happened to me to last night while we were all sitting by a bon fire at our neighbors house. Our one neighbor brought one of his friends over and this guy was exactly what you described.

I was telling everyone that I am taking my daughter fishing me on Lake Erie tomorrow for walleye and the guy goes on and on about Lake Erie is nothing compared to Canada fishing and talks for 20 minutes about his trips to Canada yada yada.

He looks at me and says have you ever been to Canada fishing?

All my neighbors know me and they are all smiling and I looked at the guy and said actually I have been to Canada 17 years in a row now on a fly in trip to Quebec would you like to see pictures from my trip this year

The guy got quite and I said now let's talk about how excited I am take my daughter to Lake Erie tomorrow and spending quality outdoors time with my 16 year old daughter.

Really grated my nerves
