r - results

it contradicts itself with the redundancy of the first two letters. all for the sake of a cute acronym.

I am a fan of FUBAR myself

Baseball announcers who pronounce foul FOW-ELL.

Can't figure out who the small timer is. Is it Learfield Sports or our own athletic department? Regardless, not having our baseball games on the air is VERY high schoolish. Even Sunbelt and Southland teams have their games on the air.

People who enter through the Exit door and/or exit through the Enter door at Wal-Mart. There are big labels above each door to let people know which door is which, but some folks just don't care. If there were traffic spikes at the Wal-Mart entrance doors just like some parking lots have today, this problem would go away pretty fast.

That's my peeve of the day.

Why do the sensors allow you to enter via the exit doors?:icon_wink:

Just because I CAN drive the wrong way on the highway (no blowout strips, etc.), doesn't mean I SHOULD.:D

Yeah, Wal-Mart and the highway are the same. Nice try.

Somebody probably sued WalMart for mental anguish and physical injury after they walked into the doors when they tried to go through the wrong door. An extra sensor is cheaper than a lawsuit.

Clearly you don't visit the same Walmarts I do.

Nevertheless, while my example is an extreme, the principle is the same. In both cases, the marked thoroughfares are designed to maximize efficiency and safety.

Okay, whatever you say. What bothers me are the people exiting through the entrance doors.:rolleyes4:

All this rain and no thunder and lightning.

Corroded battery connections, and having to waste perfectly good coke to clean them off.

People who try to get onto an elevator before allowing the people inside the elevator to get out.

Whatever IT/graphic design/computer brainiac who designed these fast-flashing popup ads need to be flashed . . . into darkness.
