Grinds my gears: when a New Game+ mode cherry-picks what you get to keep and what gets deleted & reset.

Like you keep your character at level xx, but no inventory. Or you still have your gear but oh noes your character is a complete n00b now with some antique Epics in storage.

What grinds my gears? When someone's car alarm goes off right outside my window at 8am and no one does anything about it. Also not being able to fall back asleep after it finally stops.

Having to manually sign on to the internet every time I turn my 360 on. It signs my profile in, but won't connect me the Xbox Live unless I do it myself.


Edit: New rant, stupid Fable achievement for Smart Glass. Seriously? Not everyone has a device that runs Smart Glass. Glad I had Windows 8 on my PC, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this achievement.

lol, simple, I don't go out. I'm not a big people person. I would say I have 1 friend and that's my brother-in-law. I had a best friend growing up, but he moved to Florida when we were both in 7th grade. The day he was leaving he told me that there was nothing in Ohio that was worth staying for. I asked him what about me, and he laughed and said not even you are worth it. Kind of scarred me and I never tried making friends after that.

So what I'm pretty much saying is that I have no one to talk to so what's the point in having a phone?

I have 10s of thousands of minutes of unused talk time on my phone. Idgaf, I HATE talking on the phone. I only talk on the phone if my dad guilts me into it or if I'm in an emergency situation.

But I text my husband, I'm online. I play games, I write reviews, I shop, i keep lists, I plan dinners, I look up recipes, I plan out home decor, I listen to music, I watch movies, and I hand it over to a monster when I need one of them to be quiet.

So that's why I have a phone. It's fun.

And I don't have a single friend that I would stay in ohio for when faced with the alternative of living in Florida. Of course it's not like a 7th grader would even have that option- sounds like he was just sweet lemoning.

We were inseparable at the time. I haven't talked to him in at least 10 years now. I even moved to Florida at one point and tried to talk to him. He of course had better things to do. He turned into a read dick once he went there.

I use my Laptop/PC/or Kindle to chat on with my wife. Also do the same things like looking up stuff/listen to music/watch movies/etc with my other devices. If I do go anywhere I'm with my wife.

Besides cell phone connections around here is like having a $2,000 computer on dial up. You pay a lot for a great cell phone only to have shit service. Maybe if we lived in an area with actual phone coverage I'd be more inclined to getting a phone.
