What grinds your gears?

Having to grab a roll of TP from work, since you're fresh out at home.

Finding a Costco coupon that you really need, but its not valid until next week (read: TP)

People who are too cheap to buy toilet paper.

A simple oversight -- though, turning out to be not so simple. (recalls Seinfeld, 'Can you Spare a Square episode') :lol:

When you go to hit backspace to delete two letter then find yourself 2 pages back and when you forward your 'What grinds your gears' post is no longer there.

With that said manufacturers like ford that still produce cars in 2011 that look like they belong in '98. Specifically the Grand Marquis and Town Car and whatever Ford's model of that is. I had one for a rental in NM yesterday and man is it dated inside and out. I can't believe they still make cars like that.

Along those same lines. When you've typed out a really long post and you go to grab your mouse to click Submit and bump the back button and lose it all.

Well, they won't make them after this year. Normal people aren't supposed to have them anyhow. Cabs and police.

That said, I'd rock a Crown Vic rental over an Aveo any day.

Bought a set of all weather floor mats from legacygt.com. Guy said if I sent the money on Thursday, he would have them shipped out by Saturday. No PM until Tuesday saying he had shipped them, which I'm taking to mean he didn't ship them until Tuesday. Then, he said he would send a tracking number on Tuesday night. Never got it . PMed Wednesday morning asking if he had the number. Said sorry, he forgot to send the PM and he would do it later on Wednesday. Never came.
legacygt.com uses iTrader for buying/selling feedback. Most people just give +1s when they get their item. This guy is getting a -1 from me, especially if I don't get my tracking number. 3 day delay shipping with no explanation, no tracking number that was promised twice. Hopefully the guy I just bought a 9500ix isn't that way too.

Negative feedback for having to wait 3 days? Seems a little harsh.

When you think you're out of TP, grab some from work even, only to find a half gross from Costco sitting in the garage.

I'm not posting any feedback until I get the items. But so far, he didn't ship them when he said he would (he said on Thursday that if I paid him then, he would ship by Saturday, didn't ship until Tuesday), has been saying for 4 days he would send me the tracking number (which I still haven't gotten), and has told me two different days for when the might arrive.

In contrast: The guy I bought the 9500ix from: Paid in full on Thursday (yesterday), shipped today, and already sent the tracking number.

I could understand the delay in shipping if he said he wouldn't be able to ship them until Tuesday for some reason or another. 5 days between payment and shipping is a bitch much, especially with no explanation. And I would like to get the tracking number before they actually show up at my door.

First of all, what is toilet paper? You guys don't just use your left hand?

Good episode haha.

Yeah, that's one reason my computers don't live very long lol.

Now, I see what Learjet is saying, I'm dealing with something similar myself right now. I ordered 5mm spacers last Friday night on ebay (I believe I bought my 8mm spacers from the same place but I can't remember for sure). I sent them an email two days ago, on the 17th, asking if they had been shipped yet. I checked my email a few minutes ago and it said my order had been updated, and they were shipped on the 18th. I wonder if I'd ever have gotten them if I hadn't emailed. :mad:
