I was a bit apprehensive to try sushi the first time. The whole idea of ' raw fish ' was a bit strange.
I am very sorry I ever tried it.
Now I can't stop eating it ........ :frown:
I now want to try some Fugu ( poisonous blowfish )
Everybody at the sushi bar down the street knows me by my first name ..... Egads ......
That's nothing.. what gets me is if they not only won't try it and never have, but say they don't like it. I almost strangled one of my good friends when he said he hated guacamole yet had never tried it.

Roll that sushi in some corn meal, deep fry it, and I'll take a great big bucket of it with french fries on the side.:biggrin:

People who think repairing a car is a series of "tricks". Not a proper collection of information, testing and diagnosis but a "trick".
When someone has a car problem. They come here looking for help and the inane responses from people who don't know squat.
People who say if the frame of a NSX has damage it's a total loss when the NSX doesn't have a frame.
People who think they are smarter than the engineers that designed the NSX.
Dali is still allowed to sell product here.
Most people from California.:biggrin:

I hate companies/manufacturers that advertise a low price ,........but to get that price you have to mail in a goofy coupon to get some sort of discount card or voucher to buy something else,or to recieve store credit
Just sell me the damn product at the advertised price period
Just sell me the damn product at the advertised price periodExorbitant prices on OEM replacement parts (standard practice in the car business).
I hate it when people say "know what I mean" or the worst "na I mean" after every sentence OMG!!!!
Not any different in the motorcycle world. Went to the kawasaki dealership to get about ten bolts and paid 51 dollars. Nice. That's about 97% profit probably.
I love this one too. :biggrin:
Has anyone mentioned the expression "a whole nother"?
I hate it.
I hate it.
that one is new to me
Idiots on airline flights!!
- People that bring a bag they KNOW is too F***in big to fit in the overhead or under the seat? Then spend 15min pushing the S**t of it!!!!
- People giving the stewardess a hard time about putting the seat-back up. We ALL gotta do it to take off or land. You are making more noise than the baby crying behind us!!!
- People who complain about turning off electronic devices, when they make the announcement to, OK we all gotta do this too.
- People who put their bag in the overhead above my seats, then go to the BACK of the plane where their seat is!!!!!!! No i gotta steal somebodies overhead space.
- People who are standing as SOON as the plane docks with the jetway, then complain when older people and women take to long and have to help, getting things out of the overhead!!! i saw a man big enough to put my nsx in his back pocket, NOT help and elderly lady get her bags from the overhead!!!
- People who are not sympathetic to babies crying on the plane, I have no idea why the baby is crying so why are you asking me, i don't have any kids! You see these earbuds in my ear, GET SOME!!!!! Messin up my Jay-Z moment!!
Lastly, why in the world can't the carts that take people to their gates have a horn or beep thingy? I can never understand what those cart drivers say until they've run up on my heels. CART PLEASE CART PLEASE!!!:biggrin:

Epic Fail. FTW!!! :tongue::biggrin:
Overuse of the word "gotcha!"
Friends/Family who are computer literate and ask for help with computer related issues without trying to research how to fix it themselves first (hello, google!)
Also the same friends/family who I explain how to fix something, sometimes it takes me an hour to figure out because I'm at a remote location and then they screw up the same thing a few months down the road and call me to fix it a second time. Go find the email I sent you last time!!! Which is what I usually end up doing, resending the same email I sent a few months prior.
People who delete their emails all the time. Storage space for email is essentially limitless and free!!! Just keep it all, unless you have something to hide from someone.
On the other hand, if you're paying me, I'm happy to fix the same thing an unlimited number of times
.
Note: this only goes for people who have a clue about computers, I don't mind helping someone at all who is a complete technology boob.

iPods.
I can't even talk to people anymore. Everywhere you look, they've got those things jammed in their ears. I can't even get someone to give me a spot at the gym anymore without trying to make eye contact first then I have to make wierd sign language motions for the word "spot".

Drivers of huge SUVs that slow to 2 mph to pass over a bump you could roller skate over.
Televisions in waiting rooms and diners.
Toilet paper dispensers designed to rip the paper before you get enough for a proper wipe.
The TSA.

I can't stand when someone puts the tp on the holder so that you have to pull the tp from the bottom. It's so much easier from the top.
My friends mother always does it "upside down" at the beach house and I switch it all the time. Whenever I go back in the bathroom, it's always turned around again. She has no idea that it's me doing it. :biggrin:
These "cretans" who turn on their windshield washer/wipers on the highway in front of you, on a sunny day, after you just cleaned your car.
My LS has headlight washers that are angled outward. I love this feature, because when people tailgate me, I turn them on and coat their car without getting anything on my windshield. It's quite satisfying and very effective.
1) I work in a cubicle world. Very quiet office except for right around me. The guy on one side nearly yells when he talks on the phone, and the other guy has hearing aids so his cell phone ringer is turned all the way up. When he's not at his desk his phone rings and rings and rings. Makes my blood boil.
2) People that work the drive thru windows that don't properly fasten the drink lid, and hand you a soda covered cup to top it off.
3) Oh, how could I forget - CROOKS. The previous owners of the home we bought in May 2009 thought they could get away with sticking us with a $50k rotten roof. Think again, suckers.
4) Beggars
5) Doctors (of course, none of you) who think bandaid fix problems with pills instead of attempting to actually cure the problem.
6) Wal-Mart
7) The people who refuse to pay their co-pays on medication at the Pharmacy, then go to the front of the store and buy liquor and cigarettes.
8) Mullets
Oh there's more. I'm just stopping for your sake.
