What modern things do you hate/dislike?

I think it would be kind of exciting to have a T Rex, Brontosaurus, or Triceratops tromp through the neighborhood once in a while.

Exciting! To say the least. A huge savage reptile, terrible lizard that can run in leaps and bounds with an appetite to match. It would be exciting all right.

Hate is such a strong word and I do not usually use it. On the other hand, there are things that really piss me off.

Went to my usual gas station on my way to work yesterday. They have small chocolate bars near the cash register and I already know that with tax they are $2.13. So I told the guy that (he was not the usual guy I deal with) and that I wanted $10.12 of gas for a total of $12.25. He kind of sat there for a minute with the gears spinning in his head as I went out to put gas in my car on pump 3. I put the gas in the car and it stops at $9.87. Not what I asked for or paid for. So I went back in and told him that I had wanted $10.12 of gas and had not gotten that amount. He made some excuse about not seeing the quarter that was right in front of him. I mean, why would he not have said something if he didn't think that I had given him enough money? Dude, it's not that hard... $10.12 plus $2.13 is $12.25... It's called math...

Also big dogs in apartments is a terrible choice. Big dogs need to get out and run around and exercise. You are not doing your animal any favors by keeping it cooped up in an apartment all day while you are at work. At least there were a few people in my last crappy apartment building that would take their dogs to the park when they got home. But be a good dog owner and if you can't treat them right then don't have a dog...

I dunno. This would be a likely outcome:

I don't like the new music videos. The vocals and instruments aren't in sync with the music. It's kinda like the video and the music doesn't match. Messes with my brain. Are these folks getting lazy, cheap or too busy to make a real music video. I'm not diggin' it.

all dogs need exercise mentally and physically. had dogs all my life. i had 5 pure boxers, at one point 3 at a time. more than 10 in my time.
the boxer is known as "the clown of the dog world". wanna see people cross the street walk 3 boxers.

i had 2 strokes and gave up the dogs. i cant walk them anymore.
cats are way different, we have 5, around 15 in my life. different beast but still fun and kool.

Had a girlfriend once whose family had boxers. Fun dogs if you don't worry about getting slobbered on! :D
 
Q: How did the telephone services avoid the plague of advertisements? Imagine if every time you dialed a phone number you first had to be treated to an ad for Tremfya! Or maybe, multiple ads. Everything else we do has to be drenched in ads, how did phone service escape the gaze of Wall Street?

Are you talking about being on hold? I mostly hear bad music loops, sometimes with distortion.

The music that played while on hold where I worked at the Sheriff’s Department, sounded like 70s porn music.

No..I was talking before you could DIAL a number. Like YouTube...you have to see an ad before you can see the video.
 
The modern thing I hate is the non-functional ZipLoc seals embedded in modern food container bags. You see more and more bags where you pull off the top portion of the bag and there is a ZipLoc there to seal it. That is an absolutely GREAT design, but most of the ZipLocs built into the bags just don't seal at all, or stay sealed if you actually manage to get them closed. I don't know if it's a case where ZipLoc owns a patent preventing them from using a seal that works -- or just poor execution -- but 90-95% of the ones I see don't work.
