The music mostly sucks.

Lostin76 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I’m a pretty big fan of Christmas season. Love the lights, the food, the warm childhood memories. Grew up in a household that didn’t have a lot, but my parents went out of their way to make the season fun and memorable for me. Love Charlie Brown Xmas - also have the vinyl album from Vince. Love Christmas Vacation and Elf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my biggest pet peeve, which I’m sure has been discussed at some point is the laziness of those who refuse to return shopping carts to the cart corals. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted December 12, 2022 Report Share Posted December 12, 2022 I would just like to have Halloween and Thanksgiving again before Christmas starts up. Part of the reason for season creep though is our just in time delivery/supply system. Nobody keeps inventory in volume anymore. This year for example, because of supply chain concerns, holiday orders were put in at end of April beginning of May. So when I was a Kohls Christmas started arriving at the end of September. We put back what we could but middle of October had to start pushing it out the door to make room for Black Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 When you click on a website and you have to wait for all of the advertisements to load before you see the page! Then as you try reading, the page keeps jumping around as new advertisements load? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I am all about Christmas. Love the same movies as mentioned, but also some of the old classics...White Christmas, Christmas Carol (especially the George C. Scott version). I have even periodically sat with my wife to watch some of the Hallmark Christmas movies. We'll keep decorations up through most of January. Love this time of year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is making sugar cookies right now, I’ll make sure she saves some for you, bro. She’s not a huge fan, but knows how much I love Christmas. For several years, she would create fairly elaborate advent calendars that included types of cookies, movies to watch, holiday-related things, and other things she knew I would like. I finally told her to stop doing those, b/c it looked like a LOT of work. 3 hours ago, Drroogh said: When you click on a website and you have to wait for all of the advertisements to load before you see the page!

The way the page jumps once the ads load. They have made it where you have to wait for the stupid ad to load before trying to find the NCAAM scores. Have mistakenly clicked on their stupid gambling or car ads so many times when I’m in a hurry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naturalhoosier Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I use AdGuard and AdBlock and knock out 95% of the ads. You can whitelist the few pages that won't load unless you turn off AdBlocks, but usually, if I just stop going to those sites as I can locate the info in other places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Mismatched socks. Brand and style must match. An old sock cannot be paired with a new sock even if brand and style are the same. If they are stretched out and left and right can be differentiated they go on the proper foot. If there is a hole where the big toe is it becomes exclusively whatever the opposite foot is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to have an identifiable logo on them... Nothing fancy... Just so I can easily identify the married couples 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I take off my socks, they get pinned together for the wash. Always stay together, never match another pair of socks again and you never loose ONE sock to the dryer monster! You will thank me later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a guy who is super-anal about that. It makes me no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
