Wassup with dat?

Got gripes? Here's mine.
Here in the states, when you buy a new car, your new license plates take about a month to be mailed out to you. Once you receive them, you should immediately install them on the car. My beef is, many people just install their plate either the front or back end! Wassup with that? Driving around with the dealer's name on your license plate is just stupid. Another guess is that they can't be caught on film when they run red lights since there are no license plates on the bloody car. *%&()#$_%&)%&)&%#!!!!!

You mean that they use just one of the two issued? I can just about imagine people driving around with the trade plates.

well, the asswipes in the office did it again..
not content with hamstringing us in the IT part, they've gone and kicked us in the teeth when we're down...
the latest memo to everyone is that they've "removed the microsloth games" from the computers... because the computers are for "work only"
this reminds me of the stupidity inherent in the way the asswipes work... akin to the way the SAF paid more money to the vendors in order that they remove the airconditioning in their vehicles which were factory fitted...
now, they have spent a disgusting amount of time, tracking down each notebook, taking it from the officer so that the officer cannot do his work for a day and slowly removing the attached microsloth games...
what's up with that??
the notebooks are issued to officers who are mobile.. most of the time, the notebooks are used during non-office hours to do work which cannot be finished in the office anyway.. and also the bloody thing is locked tighter than fort knox...
i think the idiots running the IT side have no clue..

Yup. Sickening, isn't it?

Not all states require two plates. Wisconsin, for example, issues two plates but only requires the rear one mounted.
The DOT in Alabama goes one step farther and only issues one plate, which is mounted at the rear.

That's just plain silly, IMHO.

Okay, here's mine, and it's a pet peeve because I encounter it almost everyday:
Why the hell do people find it necessary to SHOUT WHEN TALKING INTO THEIR CELLPHONES???
I am not against cellphone usage in public places, but I take issue with those inconsiderate morons who feel it is their moral and civic duty to let everyone within a radius of 100 yards listen in on their cellphone conversation by speaking in a loud and obnoxious manner that you can't help but overhear.

it's a psychological thing... it's probably due to static or background noise...
so when u can't hear clearly what the other party is saying, you tend to raise your voice in response.... kind of dumb, but that's seems to be how it's like...

No, it makes me laugh. Imagine them driving with those trade plates to a place that has a car showroom, and later finding their car moved away or reported stolen.

Actually air-conditioning in a car consumes a shitload of power and adds a lot of weight.

How about, just coming out of the Operation Theatre after a major back operation (Four-level Fusion and more), being pushed into the ICU for close observation, and then refusing to go to sleep and recuperate but rather, spend the next few hours keeping awake, asking the nurse every 15 mins for the time, repeating the same questions again and again just to talk and just because he's bored and there's no freakin' TV in the ICU but of course, you're supposed to rest after a major op, you idiot!!!
After about five hours of that non-stop stupid chatter, I almost lost it. I politely told him that I'm "concerned" about what might appear to be his increasing level of confusion because it might be a side effect of the anaesthesia so I'm going to ask him a few of the same questions he's been asking me repeatedly and which he should already know the answers to, just to see if his brain's been messed up in some way. He managed to answer everything correctly, so I told him, "Strange, you know the answer to all your questions already... I wonder why you keep repeating them. Oh well, at least, it's not some brain injury!" *sweet smile...
He didn't know whether to smile back, or feel insulted.
But he did shut up... for the next half hour only.

hour only. Update on this same man... a combination of him refusing to rest for the next three days post-op, the morphine in his system, and possibly his underlying psychological problem, made him extremely confused and agitated by Day 3. He apparently squirmed and tried to get out of bed (possibly doing much harm to his just-operated-on back), tried to yank out all his tubes, including his own urinary catheter, which was somehow reinserted wrongly by the nurse, ending up in his prostate and draining out fresh blood in the process
!!!), finally had to call in a Urologist to reinsert the violently yanked-out urinary catheter, and he became psychotic, hallucinating and not making much sense. As a result, in an attempt to prevent him from hurting himself further, we had to give him Haloperidol, which is a psychotic meds and acts as a sedative. 
Jia Lat! Luckily he's not a young steed liao cause I'm sure his balls probably suffered damage liao.
