路For those that don't know, Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was one of the "great Americans" of the last century (IMO)
"You could look it up!"
1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
2. You can observe a lot by just watching.
3. It ain鈥檛 over till it鈥檚 over.
4. It鈥檚 like d茅j脿 vu all over again.
5. No one goes there nowadays, it鈥檚 too crowded.
6. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.
7. A nickel ain鈥檛 worth a dime anymore.
8. Always go to other people鈥檚 funerals, otherwise they won鈥檛 come to yours.
9. We made too many wrong mistakes.
10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.
11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I鈥檓 not hungry enough to eat six.

路Small date windows on my watch. I can't see them. I wonder why the heck did they make that date window so small.
My wife and I have been having a related problem, but with bottles of wine. They all say "750ML" on them, but we are convinced that somehow the industry is making them smaller and smaller, because the bottles get emptied more quickly these days.

路How about when you call a large organization, and they put you on terminal hold, and that music they play on a constant loop to supposedly pacify you while you're waiting and your blood pressure's going up continues to play in your head for the rest of the day...

My wife would agree. This is her stock pile.

I needed to find some on-hold music for our outfit's phone switch (aka PABX) and selected a CD of Charlie Parker at Birdland from my collection. Kinda muddy and the audience talking all the time, but hey, Bird! Company Chairman complained but failed to provide or even suggest a replacement. I forget what I gave callers next, may have been Steely Dan 馃榿
Oh, there were no messages about how much we appreciated the caller's patience -- it's those that drive me crazy.

That thread had almost exclusively watch-related peeves, this has none.
So I'll this add to my list: people that make broad-brush commentary about things and fail to tease-out the subtle, or not so subtle differences...
