Sorry I didn't get to this in time or realize that it might've helped but....

Most systems are compatible -there might have been a store much closer to you who could have done it -if it's inconvenient/time-consuming to go back, it's always worth phoning the store first and asking if there is an easier solution. or just explaining the problem to the nearest store with a similar system and asking if they can help. If you have the receipt, you should be good.

oh that's all right--I still have some shopping to do for my trip. And they probably needed to know so that person can be more careful, anyway.

and I don't have a Dremel!

I know, I know. I'm depraved.

er . . . that's not right, is it?

poopies!

not that this is an annoyance, exactly, more like a Wow!

There was a TRACTOR driving along a main road the other day, at 15 miles an hour (in a 50-mph zone), in the DARK, with NO lights. Not even a reflector. Dangerous as hell!

It annoys me because the set isn't mine!

Hey, SquadRat. Welcome and stuff.

People who don't ride their bikes in the street.

Today's twit:

I was on my lunch break today and was just walking around near my office building at a slow pace.
Some jerk on his bike is speeding up behind me but couldn't get by fast enough and he yells at me "There's a reason they make the sidewalks so wide asshole!!"

So I yelled back "there's also a reason they call it a sideWALK!!!"
No response other than a dirty look and head shake.

Got a smile from the lady walking the other way.

You're lucky - relatively speaking. I stepped back at the bus stop and stepped into the path of a pavement cyclist. He was apologetic at first, then as I remonstrated that he should be on the road he decided to lecture me on the fact that Blair and Bush were bombing his country (I'm not sure whether he was Iraqi or Afghani - it was a while ago). To add insult to injury, while I was engaged with him my bus went sailing past and there wasn't another one for 30 mins.

It seems really funny now - that you can use anything to excuse the lesser crime of riding on the pavement - but at the time it shocked the hell out of me. I walked home so I could control my bottom lip which had gone all wobbly as soon as I was shouted at.

Today's annoyance was Treats That You Regret
I went to McDonalds for lunch as a special treat. I've had a rotten few days and decided the occasional gobful of fattening food is hardly going to kill me.

Not long after I ordered and sat down, the staff started asking customers to leave immediately after they had finished their food, and prevented anyone else from coming in.

It obviously wasn't a high risk situation, but for McDs to close its doors at lunchtime it had to be something they were taking seriously.

I felt highly conspicuous as more people left and the staff's glances focused more and more on me, so I really bolted my food. I then spent a miserable hour or so back at my desk while huge unchewed mouthfuls of all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a seame seed bun played havoc with my acid reflux

1) Ignorant liberals (not all)
2) the whole EMO/punk thing...
3) People that say country music sucks (hard to believe since its the number radio format)
4) people that park/sit in their car in fire lanes regardless of signs
5) people that drive and talk on the cell phone while driving
6) people that claim they are held back because of race...explain to me all the people that are successful in a said race.

lots more but I'll stop now

popularity does not imply quality

I'm a huge country music fan, but they don't play country music on country music stations anymore. What they play is pop music with bad accents and hats. hmmmm... apparently that is shit that annoys me.
btw: welcome to the cellar
