What "gets your goat"?

Manufactures trying to hoodwink the consumer by reducing package sizes and charging the same or higher price as new and improved.

Thant's something I could never understand. If it's new, how can it be improved?

Women who flaunt their Cleavage. It cheapens them and sends a message of being a Free booty Ho. The Young Girls especially. There just calling for Trouble.

Billy Mays, Gilbert Gottfried and add that "Sham Wow" guy to the list.
It drives me crazy when educated folks use the word "foot" when it should be "FEET" "How big is that console radio?" "Oh, it's about 3 FOOT high and two FOOT wide." Foot is singular, when you speak of more that one, it's plural (Feet). Why do people do this? They don't do it with other things, do they?
"Hey, how many cars are in your driveway?" "There's three car in my driveway." "Yesterday, my wife went out and there were only two car in my driveway."
Maybe they do it with other things, come to think about it. I heard a guy say "I was drivin' about 70 mile an hour down the highway."

Goats LOL

I got 50 cent instead of 50 cents.

Usually some carrots or tomatoes,some soft music,turning the lights down low and whispering sweet nothings in it's Ear.
Also People without a sense of humor!
a lot of so called radio restorations,where there was no need to sand off the original finish then it's covered in 7 coats of Cheap Mohawk Lacquer and topped off with shoddy electrical work,.

Its prounounced fity sense nowadays.

Have to agree with all of the above. Here's another.
How about the ebayers that take a great old radio, gut it, and then sell each piece seperately. Just makes ya sick!!
And for the people with the baggy pants, how about the sloppy pro baseball uniform pants. You got to laugh when you see these guys running out a hit with their pants caught under their shoes!

Senators and congressmen who tell us they "feel our pain" while they take advantage of the best medical care, retirement benefits and generous pensions guaranteed for life that WE pay for and they contibute not one DIME to..Nowadays they cook up laws to control how we eat and live our lives by taxing us to death because THEY are running out of money Sheesh....

(sorry about the rant)

Hello Doug,
you what gets my goat some stores you walk into the stereo department and they salesman walks up to you and starts talking about a product that really does not know anything about you your self knows more about that product then he does.
also how low Radio shack has sunk their product line is bare .
if the guy that started Radio shack could see it now he would just shake his head and walk out of the store I have been waiting to hear on the news for a head line like this
"Everybody it finally happen Radioshack is closing all their stores So go breakout you best Beer and toast to a good ending"
Sincerely Radio Rich
P.S. also how those guys hound your car when you drive up in the car lot you would have thought that elvis drove up in pink caddy.

The "local" Radio Shack closed about six months ago. Here's a sad story, not only about Radio Shack, but the times in which we live.
My Daughter (20 years old) told me that her headphones weren't working and kept cutting out. I took a look at them and found that the wire was bad at molded plug. I told her to go to Radio Shack, get a new plug and I'd replace it. She came home with new headphones. She told me that the guy at Radio Shack said the old ones couldn't be fixed and sold her a new pair.
I headed to the store to exchange them and get a phone plug. The young fellow behind the counter said
"You can't fix these, mister." I asked why not. He said "The plug is bad." I told him I knew that and would put the new plug on. He looked at the plug from a few angles and finally said "But... ahh....how do you get it on there?"
Sad, sad, sad.

Any tv or radio commercial .

Dropping anything on the floor

Waiting in line at a convenience store.
I want in and out soon as possible. Don't waste my milliseconds.
What I don't want to do:
Wait in line for someone to buy lottery tickets.
Wait in line for someone to cash in a dozen one dollar winners, then buy six more.
Wait in line for someone to fill out a personal check for a three dollar purchase. Then fill out the register before they hand the check to the clerk.
Wait in line for someone to find their coin purse. Which is inside their pocket organizer. Inside their purse. Inside their shopping bag. Twisted around their wrist. Drop the whole mess when you find a few coins. But not enough coins. Start over, looking for dollar bills.
Wait in line for the clerk and customer to figure out which pump the customer is parked next to.
Wait in line with 20 other people at one clerk, while two clerks count their tills.
Try to pay at a pump with credit card. Like you've done for six years. Today, *all* pumps are turned off. Stomp into store, wait in line.

I hate when I go to a drive thru fast food window and am told "Sir, can you please pull up and we will bring it out to you" I tell them "If you stop that practice, you could quite possibly get more work done......LIKE MY FOOD!!!!" McD's has 2 parking spots just in front that have signs that read "Parking for drive thru only"....HUH??
