People who rant about Happy Holidays like people are trying to exclude Christmas when really they're just trying to INclude all the other holidays.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, I don't care. I prefer Merry Christmas, but if someone says Happy Holidays it doesn't make me want to punch them.

People on the Express bus that pull the "Stop Requested" cable on the bus. It's an Express. It goes from A to B, with no stops in between. Why do you need to request a stop at the only stop the bus is going to make?

I misread and thought they were trying to get the express bus to make other stops just for them, which I felt was even more annoying.

Ha! I'd add-- when you're on the bus and people either A.) pull the cord every block, making it impossible to get anywhere....or B.) pull the cord one block before your stop. In which case I would feel guilty and get off early:mellow:

Wasn't joking, as I'm sure you weren't either.

And the only thing I would have called you a troll about would be Tebow, because I know you were just posting about him to start some shit. I wouldn't call you a troll just for expressing views I disagree with.

....which is why I found your troll-like behavior to be ironic. It seems like you only post replies to my comments to show your disagreement (ie. start shat).

Moving on...

Honestly wasn't trying to start anything. It really is something that grinds my gears and has for a while.

Besides, you can't honestly tell me that your or speedjunkie wouldn't have said something back if I had posted about it first, can you? ;)

Well, for right now you can still buy them, I'm just saying I'm looking for a FN SCAR in 7.62 and can't seem to find one anywhere lol. I found a couple local but they are 5.56, although that's probably what I should get because that's the type of ammo I already have and it's increasingly hard to find that ammo (and probably others too).

One of the guys at work went to the BX yesterday and picked up an AR and told me there was a 7.62 SCAR there, but I went today and it was sold already. I went to Specialty Sports and they had MANY ARs left, so I wouldn't worry too much about missing out on those. Everyone is freaking out over this upcoming gun ban too. Which is something that MAJORLY grinds my gears.

speedjunkies full inbox.

You know any details on the proposed bans. I just surmise something is coming down the pipe and unfortuantely, legislators will probably pass whatever given the recent shooting over the last several years.
