What Cheeses Me Off.

And shrinkflation, I'm pretty sure that a Twix is now half of it's original size.

You should have seen the size of a Snickers in the mid-60's for a nickel. Today's candy bars are almost "fun size" for over a buck.

Of course, staying away from all the serious stuff that cheeses me off and keeping the thread light-hearted, what really frosts me is how many beers are now 10.5 or 11 ounces instead of 12.....and they cost more. If you're going to try to trick me on size, don't raise the price. :mad:
 
People who try to get me to do things they don't want to do. People that say, you're retired, you got the time. Sorry, there's a chair in my living room trying to float off into space, and I have to make sure it doesn't. They look at me funny when I say that, but oh well.

Working people simply do not understand that once retired, you become so busy you wonder how you ever found time for a full-time job! :rolleyes:

People who assume that because I worked in the development of the first cell phone systems some 45 years ago, I can fix what's wrong with their newest iPhone or Pixel. Dude, I wrote code for a long-gone switching machine; I didn't design that brick in your pocket and I sure as hell don't know (or care) why you can't play the latest video game on it!
 
They wanted me to drive a school bus. I said no thanks. They said you can drive a semi, a school bus would be easy. I said I don't want to drive a school bus. They said you have the time, aren't you bored? It's extra money. I said I like being bored, it's better than working. And if I needed the money, I wouldn't have retired. They could not believe I said no. Time to go for a ride.

The fact that Australia, what with the ute invention, all the hardass folks, hot women, and excellent gearheads are a RHD country.

Almost moved there twice (for Aussie women ofc) but I'm not a left-hand shifter, no matter what the hail you guys have to drive!

Damn I'd like a Holden Maloo tho :LOL:

Naw in all seriousness, I have to say tailgaters. Growing up in California, my trust for other drivers is predictably low, so I make my feelings known when I think someone is following too close! (also carry a bag of fragmented spark plug porcelain so I don't waste my first bullet on a window). Also, I am nice and very polite most of the time!

<----- would prolly punch a roo tho

Large white pickup trucks. What is it about drivers in large white pickups? They are always the ones that want to go faster than me, and I'm already going faster than the speed limit. They're probably the nicest people you would ever share a church pew with, but when they get behind the wheel of their large white pickup... :-/

From the California Motorcycle Drivers Hand Book: If you speed up to stay ahead of a tailgater, you end up being tailgated at a higher speed. So true :~{

Mannn, pickup drivers in general! Modern pickup trucks have all the power, and people in them be exercising all the dick moves, camping in left lanes and blockin all the views. I recognize that game because I own a pickup myself, but I sure as hail don't drive like these asshats out here. I mean, I _try_ not to... LOL :LOL:

Birds of a feather what the flock..but bike gets the best gas mileage and splitting lanes is legal here. Hafta admit, I split lanes daily.
