Using a Book Index
Turn to the very back of the book, where the index lives, and look up the topic you're interested in; topics are listed in alphabetical order. Once you find your topic, the page number next to your topic tells you which page to turn to so you can read about that topic.

Or wait and turn your brights on right before you go past them. Up close and personal.

But then I wouldn't get the joy of having them flash their brights at me, and me ignoring them. :the_finge

I've noticed that a lot of newer vehicles have relatively high powered low beams with a very hard top line i.e. when properly aligned not an issue, but if the vehicle hits a bump or passes over a rise, the lows suddenly become highs as that hard line rises above your field of vision. Great for lots of flashy beam fights, when you can get all self-righteous and bring up your reserve of the really searing highs, and the opposition is, like, all "WHAT DA FUCK .... HE'S GOT BEAMS THAT GO TO 11?!?!?!?"

I'm all too familiar with this. My new truck's headlights are perfectly adjusted, but I get flashed constantly on the highway because it just has bright ass headlights. I get flashed then flash back and people must be like "WhoA!"

It gets on my nerves that the favorite teams in sports lose more often than they should.Since I do sports betting, this means that I regularly lose more money than planned. Or maybe I should just look for another hobby.

Shit that annoys you

Speaking of lights.. The light bar fags who have them on while in town or on the highway, which is illegal. I had to almost come to a stop on a two lane road a couple weeks ago so as not to drive off the road while towing my boat one evening. Fuck you! At least my finger was illuminated well for him to see. Damn cops need to start cracking down on these douche bags.

I may get a laser so I can blind them.

Call customer service. Hold for 10 minutes.

10 minutes later, your hold time is over 30 minutes. Would you like a call back? Press 1.

I press 1

An hour later, phone rings. This is your call back. Please hold for next representative.

Wait 15 minutes until rep joins call.

Srsly - fuckers have a giant 400-million lumens bar above the windshield and a 250-million bar on the grill. Fuck those guys.

Actually, it was one of those POD-like moving companies. To add to my annoyance, I was calling to see when they could come pick my POD up after leaving voicemails for a pick up date for nearly a week, all the while paying monthly rent. Today I was told it would be 3 weeks until they could pick it up.

The delay obviously means I wont have my shit for a while longer, but I learned that I am still supposed to pay rent until they can pick it up.

But what about the joy of them being blinded and landing in the ditch upside down?

Enterprise software companies that send out an email the Thursday evening before DST that basically says:

"We found a critical DST bug, and would strongly recommend you update your cluster to the "fixed" version, which isn't actually done yet. We're hoping it will be available Friday afternoon or at the latest, Saturday morning. And update before Sunday morning."

I cannot take credit for that gem. It was the incomparable Lewis Black.

It even popped up on my Chromecast. I mean, great, but shit... I run Google Photos on my Chromecast so I don't have to see other ad-laden garbage. #annoying

EBay, charging me sales tax, on a person to person transaction with someone in Japan. Fuck them.

Even better, eBay (and the states) charging taxes on items that are used, that were purchased new and taxes paid at time of original purchase.
