What exactly are those folks talking about when they say  "I put the Smackdown on 'em" after shooting a deer?    :confused:  

Regardless........it drives me nuts    

99% of the hunting shows on TV. Nothing more than glorified Infomercials for some "must have" hunting gadget.

Folks that won't correct their spelling even when all they have to do is click on it and pick the right word that's spelled out correctly for them.

The little squiggly red line under the word means you've misspelled it. It is easy to use, even I can figure it out.

I know, what a grouchy ole grump.....lol

Thanks for letting me get that of of my chest.

God bless,Mudd

When calling someone and going to voice mail, or to an answering machine, you have to sit through what seems like a 5 minute explanation on why they can't answer the phone and how to leave a message.

When in your car and waiting in line to merge or make a turn you get the car that comes up the open lane and thinks it is their right to cut in front of you.

Keg  you got me going with that one.  

People drive like idiots, period.  Everybody has to win the race and compete.  


Try something, as an experiment.  Drive down the road in town.  Speed limit +5 or so.  Everybody is going along,  now change lanes and watch that person behind you speed up to fill your vacated spot, instead of just going the speed that they were going, which was beyond the posted limit anyway.

A long time ago I lived in Memphis TN.  There is a beltline around the city.  Coming from the west, there are multiple lanes and they (used to at least) collapse into fewer as you pass the downtown.  Normally  everybody lines up in the lane that will continue and make it go smoothly, but there are ALWAYS those who are better than the rest and they go around on the "empty lane" so they can cut in front of everybody.  The truckers typically moved over in front of them and ran them off the road.

Sorry for the rant.

Eric Krewson,  
I just read thru all of this thread and got to your MUCH earlier post.  You know what. .  you give that stuff away because you are a nice guy and like to help people. There are a bunch like that here in Trad Gang. I am that way and know exactly how you feel.  

It does, though, feel really nice to get a "thank you", or a smile in return.  

I think many folks just don't even think that way and really don't mean to "dis you in any way.  They just aren't wired to do those things.
ChuckC

amen

Wow, you guy must really not like me.
I am human or I thought I was.

Can't we all just try to get a long?

What does all of this have to do with pet pee?

I just remembered another one, and this really irks me everytime it happens.

I hate the way a cashier gives you your change back. They all started doing this a few years ago and it drives me nuts.

You hold out your hand and you get the receipt with the bills quickly stacked on top followed by a handfull of coins all dumped onto the pile. You are left there trying to sort the whole mess out while the cashier immediately starts checking out the next in line. You are all but shoved out of the way. Sometimes I just want to throw the change back at them and make them do it over.

I like this thread. I didn't realize there were so many things that pi$$ed me off.  

Good one, Red.  I agree.

Why do people drive below the speed limit?  I just don't get it.  Then when you get to a straight stretch to pass, they speed up.

Or people that stop at a light or stop sign, and leave a gap big enought to put 2 cars in front of them to the next car.

Oh man, don't get me going on no turn signals, talking on cell phones and holding traffic up, speeding up and slowing down,  etc.  Put the cruise on and go.

Here is another.

I shoot a lot of tournaments and bought a camper when I retired which makes the the tournament weekend much more enjoyable. Most of the tournaments are in state parks with really nice campgrounds, the main detractors are undisciplined DOGS.

I have had dogs all my life, all working dogs, bird dogs and retrievers for the most part. When my last lab died of old age I didn't get another. All were trained to behave and several understood English very well. None of my dogs would have thought of attacking another dog or barking at a person walking by.

People bring completely untrained dogs to these tournaments, often tyeing them to a tree and leaving them barking their heads off until the owner returns or they are left outside their camper to bark all night. It is also a rare owner that cleans up after their pet, very few do.

I have confronted these people several times and found they had zero knowledge of how to even begin to train a dog.

Back when I lived to roam the fields with my bird dogs or watch a flock of mallards drop in on my decoys, us dog trainers had a saying," to train a dog you have to be smarter than the dog"

Kinda' scary to to realize I have yet to see a trained dog in a campground, says a lot about the owners intellect.

Julia Norris has a beagle that behaves 100% of the time in the campground and on the tournament course but it is a rare exception.

its "port Orford" not port oxford, and its "spine"  not "spline"

Thanks ChuckC

I like me too.

Good thread

Walmart. Everything about the Walmart experience including but not limited to:

Parking lots designed my mentally challenged monkeys

People who push a shopping cart around COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS to anyone in their vicinity.

Awkward forced mini employee "pep rallies" that are painful to watch and probably worse to participate in.

Undisciplined, screaming, spoiled brats and those that raise them.

And my personal favorite...50 people waiting to check out and 3 registers open.


Whew...much better now.

Those little deer hanging out with the doe, those are FAWNS, not yearlings.  There is nothing wrong (IMO) with shooting one, but a critter isn't a yearling until it is a full one year old.  Come fall, fawns are about 6 months old; a yearling is about 1.5 years old.  Button bucks are fawns.

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm enjoying this thread.  It feels good to get some of these things out in the open, and I feel that I know a few of you better than before.

Right on, Fletcher!Oh, and the change back in the hand bit...
I was a cashier many years ago, and was taught to count he change back, starting with the final price and working up to the amount tendered. No question about the accuracy, and the coins are in your hand first. Now they push a button and the machine does the math, and neither you nor the cashier knows if it is right until you get a quiet corner somewhere to count it.

If the bill comes to seven dollars even, and you hand them twelve, it throws them for a loop until the machine does the math and they see that you just wanted to get a fiver back. Make it seven and twelve cents, and add a quarter to the twelve dollars, and be prepared to talk to the manager.

Oh... I DO drive below the speed limit sometimes. The speed limit is the highest speed that you are allowed to go, not a starting point. Get me out in the back roads of West Virginia, and I spot a loggerhead shrike on a wire, or even just an old barn, and I may even stop. I hate tailgaters, I hate feeling pushed or crowded. I will pull over on a shoulder to let you pass. I feel cheated when I cannot look at the beauty of the countryside, because the people around me want to zip through it without seeing.
