When you gain the 'grow facial hair' ability your tune will change.

I know I'm eager for it to occur!

I've always been peeved by the fact I can't buy beer in this state on a Sunday. Although, I have to agree with the government that it is probably safer to drive to a bar and drink beer all day watching football and then try to figure out how to get home than it is to sit on my neighbor's couch and then walk.

No sh*t. That's what Santa would do. BTW, "lump of coal" is just a metaphor for "black eye".

People who ask questions before they even think about what they're asking.

Example?

-----------

My office sits at the end of a hallway. At the end of that hallway, there are 2 doors (other than my office doors, which is open). One door is clearly NOT marked and the other is clearly marked EXIT in big black bold letters. The two doors face each other. This patient walks down the hallway, stops in front of my office and looks at the door with "EXIT" on it and gets this confused look on her face. She then looks at the other door that has nothing on it. In the whiniest (sp?) voice she looks at me, huffs and says, "Well...which way do I go?"

I wanted to throw my scissors at her f'ing face.

Stopping by Guitar Center to get real-world advice from someone on how to properly adjust a compressor.

Being waited on by some newbie who works in the pro audio department, and have him point blankly tell me he has no idea of what I speak.

NONE. I even had an owners manual IN MY HAND.

Then having the only audio geek in the dept (who was busy with another customer) tell newbie to go to the computer and print out some of the learning material available to them.

Waiting for 15 minutes while the "Bill Gates of the audio dept" newbie prints up a paragraph for me about compression drivers and speakers.

He looks it over and hands it to me like he just conquered the world.

WTF?

I mean really WTF? Speeaker info for a rack mounted 4 channel compressor.

I think my 3 year old nephew could have realized that it wasn't even close to the right info.

How can a person WORK at Guitar Center and have no clue whatsoever about *anything* related to their job. NOTHING this kid did was even remotely helpful.

WTF?

I almost went ballistic on this poor kid and demanded a manager.

I walked out on him after handing back his sheet and thanking him for nothing.

Newbie struggled nervously.

WTF? GC, you lost another one to incompetence.

Ollie --- if you're still at square one, give me a call and let me give you the rundown on how a compressor works. You can't get it right unless you understand what it's doing, and guitar players will tell you with great vehemence that they DO SO know what a compressor is doing, and they are usually completely wrong.

Pet Peeve? The boneheads who drive down Hillegas Road at 30mph, while talking on a cell phone and weaving all over the road.
