What's bugging you? (2013)

Second, we are in the process of listing our home and looking for an upgrade since we need more yard and more space for our two toddler boys. We met with an agent on Tuesday afternoon, and he emailed me that night saying he had someone who wanted to see the house ASAP, so I worked my butt off to get the house ready for a showing the next afternoon. The buyer wrote up a offer that night, and we were pretty excited because we hadn't even listed the house for sale yet. The next day I tried to email our realtor (who was out of town already for Easter) the signed documents to accept the offer. Unfortunately, his inbox was full and so the documents didn't get delivered. By the time he noticed and asked me to send to another email address, I had left to pick up my kids from daycare. When I got back, he had sent another email that the buyer had changed her mind and pulled her offer. Had his inbox not been full, we would have had a binding acceptance. I was pretty upset since I feel I had executed my portion of the contract, but I guess it is what it is.

 

Wow, that is just brutal. Nothing much to add but I agree with others that this realtor needs to get fired.

Noodles in Greenfield has a chalkboard where they promote some of their items. For at least the past two weeks, they've been telling customers to "compliment" their Penne Rosa with some kind of wine. Making the spelling error is one thing; not correcting it after that much time has elapsed is quite another.

I recently saw an advertisement on a bus stop bench that stated the offices of said business were "directly accross the street".

When I apply for a job I shouldn't have to waste an hour creating an account for your company.

[jerichoholicninja]

Oh ya, and after wasting that hour filling out all your employment and education information only to get to the end and then upload a resume. Just read the freaking resume!

The increasingly stupid and inane security questions that are asked when registering for web sites. I have to register for a lot of different vendor web sites for my work. Had to do one today and these were the quesitons:

 

1) What is your Mother's Maiden Name?

2) What is your favorite animal?

3) What city were you born in?

4) What was your favorite childhood toy?

 

1 & 3 are legitimate, but who wrote 2 and 4...a 5 year old? What adult has a favorite animal? You had to answer all 4 of these questions and they gave you no other options. I tried answering all of them the same, but they would not except that. Ugghhh!

[1992casey]

What sucks about security questions is that they're not all that secure. I've heard of some people picking totally unrelated answers, but that poses its own set of problems.

 

I think a lot of adults would pick a dog, a cat, or maybe a horse as a favorite animal, but they're not likely to pick a koala bear or a bunny. The thing is, dog and cat as answers are about as insecure as it gets.

 

The worst part of all this is that on some sites, the security question is the only thing required to recover a password.

[RightFieldCoder]

Security questions are only as secure as a password. Actually, less so. Most people could do some on line searching and figure out my mother's maiden name. My pet's name? Most friends know and would probably freely give that info to strangers.

I actually read something interesting the other day, maybe I'm late to the game. You know those stupid posts on Facebook, where you find your "porn star" name, or "Mardi Gras" name, etc? The way to find out your name is usually related to security questions. Your porn star name is the name of your fist pet, and the street where you grew up. Then everyone posts their results, and give that wonderful private info to everyone. I never do these things, but it never ocurred to me that this was the purpose. I just thought people had too much time on their hands.

[1992casey]

More and more often, I encounter restaurant hosts who seem to make it a race to take guests to their tables. By the time they reach the table, we can be 15 or more paces apart. This happens whether or not there's a line waiting to be seated.

That moron who can't pronounce "Jaguars" was on WTMJ again the other night. His boss needs to correct that; it's embarrassing to the station. Even better, someone should call in and correct him on the air.

[TooLiveBrew]

How has he been pronouncing it?

[Godspeed]

The late Pat Summerall would say (to my ears, at least) 'Jag-offs'.

[1992casey]

How has he been pronouncing it?

 

Jagwires.

[TooLiveBrew]

How has he been pronouncing it?

 

Jagwires.

 

Ugh.

Meme's on Facebook. I swear there's a 100 of these things for each person and they get reposted 20 times when you see it. Granted I'm not saying I'm not guilty of posting 1 or 12 of them, but I don't do it daily.

What is a Meme?

The previous post...why would you do that? Kind of an old gag...don't you think?

Sure it is.

The Dr. Dawg restaurant in Greenfield has only two accessible parking spaces.

Two times now the AmeriCorps website has lost hours of my work filling out all their crap. There is no reason anyone should have to spend any more then 10 minutes applying for a job online.

I like that when I click on that it says "An error occurred. Please try again later."

Last year we moved, and the house came with one of those Rainbow outdoor playsets. Well, the slide developed a plastic crack on the bottom, and now a large piece came off, basically making the slide unsafe to use. My wife emailed the company about a replacement. Not only is the warranty not transferable, but a replacement slide is $300. Seems a bit ridiculous for me considering it's a simple 8 ft yellow plastic slide.
