What's bugging you? (2006)

it happens to be a bobblehead day, and yet half the terrace is empty

Some of that is from us season ticket holders. We can trade tickets in for future games, and we usually pick games we know we can't make and trade them in for bobblehead days. I have two tickets, but I usually have about five on BH days. The gut behind me will sometimes get up to 15 tickets and only bring four other people.

i will flat out tell them I won't have a body and ask for a terrace back row seat.

i mean you pay good money for 9 innings....why skip the first half?

Because I'm not done eating and drinking yet.

[Crazyk1294]

People who eat ice after finishing their drink. My buddy does this. The last time he did it, I dumped the remaining ice on the ground (and then boght him another drink).

 

That and Pringles commercials.

[NeedMoreFans]

I have a lot of things that bug me. The most current are...

 

People who don't use their turn signal

Not being able to find a job since graduation (I am really, really bored. Can anyone help someone with a History degree and/or teacher certification? I have both!)

DirecTV not carrying Brewer games in FSN.

 

Mostly the job one though...I'm pretty pathetic without a job to occupy my time.

[RightFieldCoder]

MPS is always looking for teachers. However, one year there made me quit the profession.

[TheCrew07]

If you live anywhere up north, good luck finding any kind of History job up here, all of the posted openings in the state except for 2 (Kimberly and Bayport) were in the southern half of the state.

[splitterpfj]

People who don't trim tree limbs that hang over public sidewalks.

 

Gimme a break, my kid is about 4 1/2 ft tall, if he has to bob and weave to get through there, that's a problem.

[pogokat]

this guy in my study hall who refuses to do any class work---and keeps falling asleep even though he's been explicitly told that he can not sleep

[brewerjamie15]

I can not stand moving boxes of stuff from the garage to the basement, the up stairs, or any where else."

[NeedMoreFans]

A new one today...

 

Everything sports related now a days seems to have a name and a sponsor. For example, ESPN is calling the pennant races "The Hunt for October, brought to you by Budweiser". Ok, MLB pennant races would happen if Bud brought it to me or not. Then there is the first week of football, both college and NFL. I don't know who the sponsor is, but they do have names. I know that certain things need named, but naming a race that is going to happen anyways? Just another way advertisers stick their names down our throats.

 

Man, I have a lot of stuff that bugs me. I love this topic.

[DougJones43]

Bees / Hornets / Wasps

[wisconsinfan47]

When your professor writes on the chalkboard, erases what he writes, only to leave one small part un-erased, (like the loop of the letter y or j or something), and then that one little loop bothers you all class because you are way too OCD for your own good.

I HATE corporate sponsorship of sports. I understand it's almost necessary to compete nowadays, but it still bugs the heck out of me. I hate seeing stadiums named after banks, internet companies, and the like, and seeing ads plastered all over everything at games. Miller Park doesn't bug me since it is a part of Milwaukee's past and present, but I don't want to see the Bucks playing in the Hewlett-Packard Arena someday.

People that pat themselves on the back.

[pogokat]

people that repeat themselves

[brewcrew00]

People who ride their bikes on the sidewalk, especially when the bike lane is clearly marked on the street right next to where they are riding.

[splitterpfj]

People who share way too much personal information. I got a detailed description of a relative's colonoscopy the other day.....really, just tell me you had one, I'll take it from there.

[TheCrew07]

This "everybody wins"culture...

 

Why should kids get a trophy for giving crappy effort on a bad team? If I fail at work, I don't get a do over... Dear customer, sorry I screwed up that deal and lost you money, can we try again? Teaching our children that they will win no matter if they lose, or give poor effort, or whine and cry... it's driving me nuts.

[rluzinski]

Parents that obsess over the notion of "beating" another team, when children just want to run around and have fun.

[thablingster]

When one of your "friends" complains you don't talk to them anymore. This is despite the fact they never are around, and because you have class, practicum, and work you can't exactly sit around all day and wait for them to be around. Yet they expect you to do that and talk to them on their terms. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/alien.gif

Similar to the 'grocery store line' comment earlier in this thread:

 

People who board the bus you're on, who seem to not realize until they're on board that - oh yeah! - maybe I should look for my fare or pass. And I know I've got it around here somewhere. Just let me fish through my stuff. ALL my stuff.

 

I'd give a break to someone who had to run to get to the stop on time. But this person the other day had clearly been waiting.

[1992casey]

I've never cared about the pop/soda controversy. I guess I use both words.

 

Things that bug me:

• Seeing resign on a sports message board when the writer really means re-sign. (The guy isn't quitting.)
  
• The apostrophe thing ... big time.
  
• The fact that the Americans and the Brits can't agree on what's singular and what's plural.
  
• "Words" like 4 (for), ne (any) u (you) ur (your), etc., on message boards. (There's no 165 character limit here.)
  
• The fact that Miller Park shows OBP on its main scoreboard, SLG pct. on the left field board, and OPS on the board behind home plate.
  
• People who talk on cell phones when they're trying to pay a cashier.
  
• Microsoft gets an itemized list.
  
  [li]Internet Explorer.
  
  • OEM Windows install disks that are different from machine to machine.
    
  • The fact that their licensing agreement makes it impossible to pick up a Windows install disk cheaply on eBay.
