When you're working out and someone screws you up, to "work in". Wait your turn!

I'm not a 'squatter' either. Talking about rude people, too self absorbed to show any consideration.

When I just finished collecting the final dog turds and my Doberman runs over a dumps a fresh load.

TMI?

How about when your excited to use the new trimmer and your half way done and out of nowhere it starts to rain.

The neighbor across the street who leaves his snow-shovel out on the porch 365 days a year.

Intermittent electrical issues.

I start up my RX-7 to go home from the autocross on Saturday, and the tach is completely dead, and remains dead for the entire hour drive home. So I go to take a look at it tonight. I start up the car since its been sitting for 48 hours or so to check that its still got a dead tach. Yep, still dead. Then I check the ECU for codes. No codes. Ok, so I figure either the trailing coil is dead (tach source), the tach itself is dead, or the wiring between the two. Apparently you can jump the bullet connector that comes off the leading coil to the bullet connector on the trailing coil, thus making the leading coil the tach source and bypasses the trailing coil. I do this, and start the car. The tach is now working.

The puzzling part, is that I removed the wire I used to jump the coils, and start the car again to confirm a bad trailing coil. I expected the tach to be dead again. Instead it decided to continue working. Oooookay..... I turn the car off, let it sit a minute, and start it again. Tach still works.

So, I'm still wondering WTF. Did I jump the trailing coil back into working order the same way one jumps a dead battery? I'm happy the tach is working and all, but I'm thinking its just temporary, but without a root cause, I don't want to throw parts at it.

It makes a rather good and large dust pan.

This is a biggie for me....

DRINKING AND DRIVING/RIDING

For some reason, there are a large number of @ssholes that find it acceptable to drink and ride a motorcycle or drive on public roads. It gets worse offroad too. Just because you are on a trail doesn't mean it's free rain on slamming beers while rocking your 4x4 or ATV.

I agree, I use it to collect piles of dead leaves in corners and its great... but this guy has pretty much nothing on his open-visible porch, except for the shovel. (yard is a complete weedy mess)

I have NO IDEA how bikers do it, there's a typical 'biker bar' near me at i-25 and Louisiana and it's obvious everyone is drinking and hopping on their bikes right after...
I can't even ride my bicycle drunk without falling over.
