PICTURE ID's!

Yep - How in the hell does this make anyone or anyplace "secure" (pretend finger quotes) just because you have a piece of paper or plastic with your picture and some printing?

What a bunch of bull and people doing anything to say they did something to "prevent terrorism".
A picture ID does nothing. Do they even compare the picture? Once in 100 - maybe. Do they look up the name on a "terrorism list"? Nope. So what good is it other than a "feel good because we inconvenience you" thing.

I went into a Navy PX in Honolulu and they needed a picture ID. The "guard" checking them never even looked up.

Does it prove anything to have an ID?

You'll see a lot of it now at theaters because we tend to over react to one weirdo.

Hey, TARGET wants a picture ID to buy Nyquil. WTF? Do I look under 40? So I really farkle them over. I will NOT show a driver's license for them to scan - that has all my personal information encoded on it. They capture it all and a hacker then has everything. Instead I give them my passport border card (the card for going to Canada and Mexico in place of a full passport because Washington State gives a drivers license to anyone - illegal or anything). They can't scan  the passport card and it pisses them off. "Will you please get out your driver's license, we can scan that.". NO! It is a valid USA government ID. If you can't scan it, then get a supervisor and type in something for a birth date. Your crappy programmers is not my problem. "Have you contacted corporate about this?" NO! It is not my problem. You tell them.

In Florida you have to do that with any of the allergy meds with "D" in it or with alcohol. You must use a state or gov't ID so they can track how much you buy so you aren't making a methlab.

Handicapped people using handicap stalls with BIG ASS TRUCKS loaded with all kinds of crap in the back. You need a ladder to get in the driver's seat. How handicapped can you be that you can't walk an extra 40 feet but can still climb up into that truck? And then you can handle all that cargo?

Then you get the ones that get out and obviously are NOT handicapped. Then they can go walk miles all around the shopping mall or grocery store.

People who go in the exit or out of the entrance.

Now Now Addidasguy you know I'm disabled and I could probably get up in one not without pain. But, I can climb a he!! of alot easier than I can walk distances. I would never buy a big pick up but I sure do get alot of dirty looks when I pull up on Flick

In oregon they scan your ID and run it thtough the system to prove you are how old you say you are

People getting pissed off in the cardiologist office when it is 10 minutes past their appointment time. Guess what the cardiologist has this really odd thing called emergencies you know when someone's heart flucks up it's not like he can say make an appointment in a couple of days! They even have a sign in the office saying emergencies happen frequently in this office please plan accordingly or call before you come in. This one d-bag is in with his mother to get the results from a holter and it is 3 minutes past her appointment time. He starts screaming at the receptionist that his time is too important to be waiting and if his mother isn't immediately taken back he would go to a different doctor. I was feeling particularly chitty (arrythmias) and had been waiting to get fit in between patients. I finally walked up to him and said "Sir, I'm the reason your mother's appointment will be later. I'm suffering from an arrythmia that might kill me and I'm sorry that I am the cause of your wasted time". You could have heard a pin drop in the waiting room and all of the bitching stopped instantly.

Come on people it is a doctor's office healthy normal people usually aren't there and complications occur!

  you go Mary!! .. tell that coon-hound what for!! 

I'm annoyed cause the insurance company is taking to long to tell me what is happening with my bike. I'd clearly managed to screw it.

Municipal Unclaimed Funds Departments.  Give me my damn money that I had no idea about until now.  Sorry I didn't send you the 'canary' copy of the triplicate form, how hard can it be?  You know it's me, you have my money, now let's make a deal!

Expert engineers sent to help you assemble something, who cannot read drawings and either want to join the wrong pieces together, or put them in back-to-front, or have no idea and ask you even though you are supposed to follow their direction. Sorry, why are we paying you big bucks for again?

Engineers - civil, draining, structural, whatever - they think they are smarter than they are cause they have a piece of paper BUT no hands on real world experience.

Rather than a public annoyance ... Lately I've been hyper busy at work organising interstate loads for the trucks ... Lots and lots of minor things running thru my head at home too ... Its all gotta work like Swiss timing till end of month ... Anyway .. Having my shower a few times this week ( well I shower every day) but my annoyance has occurred a few times this week ...

Get wet, grab washcloth and soap, lather up and wash around .... Rinse off and enjoy the hot water for a few moments ... Something procedural from work pops into the skull .. Distracted ... Wait .. Did I wash yet?... Oh we'll better make sure .. Grab washcloth and soap, lather up and wash around ... Rinse... Another work thought ... Wait ..did I wash everywhere? .. Know I meant to!.. Grab washcloth and soap ....... Usually I call it quits then ..but still slightly uneasy I missed behind my ears or worse ..

C'mon it CAN'T just be be that gets this vague when its busy and hectic! .. Luckily at work I'm full focus and its all smooth!

LOL I hate it when that happens. I'm one of those people, too. Heck, I get sidetracked walking from the family room to the kitchen or as soon as I stand up from my desk at work to go to the printer, halfway there, I can't remember what I was after.

Further, I'm such a creature of habit that if I need to remember to take something extra with me in the morning, it has to be right next to my wallet and keys. Otherwise, it's not going to make it out the door with me.

My boss calls it CRS Syndrome - (CRS = Can't Remember shaZam!)

CRS is a good term ...

personally i suffer from CRAFT ... Cant Remember A "Flippin" Thing 

Well that's better than me. I seem to remember everything of non-importance. Let's take pi for instance. Pi is the circumference/diameter of any circle. From memory 3.141592653589793

actually Pi is a constant factor used to calculate the circumference using either the diameter or the radius of the circle, or to calculate the area of the circle:

circumference = Pi x D or Pi x 2 x R

area = Pi x R^2  or Pi x (D/2)^2

Where D = Diameter and R = Radius (1/2 of Diameter)

i prefer Pie and ice cream ... vanilla icecream and pecan pie ideally .. 

When you order take out and they give you the wrong thing.

When you order take out, they give you the wrong thing, you call them, and they tell you they know, they did it on purpose cause they were all out of the thing you ordered.

Deadhead Fuktards that work in takeout joints - I am reminded of the Dennis Leary bit where he is trying to order coffee flavored coffee.

"What size screw do I need? One fell out and the other is still there"
Duh - take out the other one and go to the hardware store where they have screw gauges and......

"What size wrench do I need for xxxxx bolt?"
Duh - measure it with a ruler or caliper? Doh! You don't have a complete set of wrenches for your bike?

.....and still the ever popular trying to check electrical stuff without a meter.
