Rant Thread - What really grinds your gears?

The doctor who probably saved my life Dr Wangfu at the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre, Jinan Central Hospital.

See this is why I do not trust others though, but in the same vein, I imput more of my massive play in "eyes of the machine" within every other step I write, take the idea and consideration of feeling even tightly wounded up, as they spread it like a virus to the ones that, are a family to me, but to be honest somethings are better locked away. I love them to death but sometimes they are like a worm... Always wanted more.
 
Okay so today I am supposed to be picking up a load in Orlando Florida between 0600-10pm (the load is supposed to be ready in that time frame)

What really gets under my skin are people who think it's their business of theirs to tell you what phone you should use. I cannot count the many times someone sees me using my HTC Thunderbolt and asks 'why don't you get with the times, man!' or remarks 'but you'll get hacked on that out of date software!' or 'Stop living in the past, dude', or the most common lately, 'You people are such luddites! you're holding back progress!'

First of all, It's not YOUR business which phone I choose to use. It's MINE. I paid for it with MY money. I will use what makes me happiest, and suits MY needs. NOT yours. I will NEVER EVER understand why so many people feel absolutely threatened because they spot someone with an 11 year old smartphone. Do people who drive a '72 Continental get that type of crap? Hey, if they made a phone today that didn't frustrate me or have a UI I could stand to look at and was a 4.5" display then sure. But any time I look at phones I can only notice what's missing and how large they are and the UI looks like DeskMate. If I wanted to actually lower my expectations then sure. But I don't. Whenever my 11 year-old phone can do far more than the 'modern' one then anything else is a downgrade.

I don't tell people what they should carry or use, so why tell me what I should carry or use? Maybe them being so defensive means they made a mistake in their choice, hmmm? If someone is truly satisfied with their choices they would not need to defend them or complain to some rando on the street or worse, compare using an 11 year old phone with preferring a horse and carriage over an automobile.

On my top ten list of favorite phones I owned, the HTC G2 sits at #3. I used that phone to help write papers for my college degree. I miss HTC
 
The January 6th hearings, okay gas prices are through the roof (st least in the states) there's inflation, a supply chain storage for various goods and services and we got a bunch of idiots worrying about something that happened 18 months ago
 
Updated on my cousin, she is doing really well, just in recovery and being able to enjoy her farm with my cousin's family! :)
Still.. A blackness does approach.

I have very strong opinions about our present Administration, and their intent to ruin this nation, but will refrain from starting a political battlefield.
 
My curtian fell down it is one of those pull down ones with both hands or just by one, over the countless times I do pull it down, sometimes I pull it down with both hands, but the over beam was like extremely flipped up on the other side, so subconsciously I put one hand on the top of the beam and the other one just on bottom of it, luckilly it did not over expanded were the curtian is at though. I just tend to pull it up for sunlight and pull it down at the night time, but it is slightly chilly out too. So I had to dust underneath it and kaboom, there is dust and everything else.. So yeah..

My favourite of those is Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town by Kenny Rogers.

"And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground."

Or for especially cheesy country songs, Red Sovine songs are my favourite.
