Doesn't It Just Grind Your Gears When.....

... when a new member joins this forum, only to get you to vote for them so they can profit from this forum.
It would be so nice when new members join this forum, post first in the Welcome thread, join "Adopt a Newbie", and maybe brag a bit.

I tend to vote only for long standing members or for a thread a long-standing member asks me to. Otherwise I ignore the voting forum.

I renew my ink of my printer yesterday so they are full.But when I print I got a very not colored picture of my coupon..I dont know why it does that...I printed the other day and it was fine...So I want be able to use my coupon Or maybe print it in black? (remove all the others inks for the printer...)

@cath007-see what the printing default settings are in your browser's Print>Preferences>Color. Your printer might be set to print in grayscale using black ink only>change to colour printing.
Or, if one colour ink is low (but you just have put new ink), you might get a message from your printer asking you to continue printing without that colour-sometimes the image comes out less colourful and more "gray" than you expect.
So have been my experiences using an HP Photosmart printer--it usually prints in colour but I had changed setting to print in grayscale for most things to save on colour ink.

When the person you told an hour before you had to leave for class that you have class from 7-10...Apparently 9pm doesn't fall within that time frame so they call me in the middle of class. Of course I never shut my ringer off since no one calls me ever (I hate talking on the phone and most people know that)...Yep that was interesting...Needless to say if this person calls again I won't be answering even if I'm not doing anything cause I'm annoyed that I got yelled at in front of the entire class because they called me and my ringer was on!!

At least there is hockey, eh.
Imagine if they didn't settle. There would have been rioting in the streets.

Okay my gears have smoke from the two below, I need to get this off my chest before I blow...

When, you JUST clean the toilet and someone thinks leaving brown smears is okay.
(There is a brush for that and it doesn't have MY name on it with a DO NOT TOUCH label).

When, your trade rating takes forever to go up, because sometimes you are not rated when you should have been.
(I am not referring to anything recent, official trades or trains...I know I probably should have PMed in the past, but I feel like I should not have to ask for a thank you in that manner, and because I don't participate in things on SC for a trade rating. Shwa Girl's newbie post, which I totally agree with, got me thinking about some buried feelings).

... when I spend a ton of time quoting a job at work... only to find out 3 weeks later that my effort was all a waste. Ya, that's nice. Really nice.
Thanks for screaming at me every 15 minutes for the freaking rates, only to find out it was a huge waste of my time...really great motivation for the future?? I'm sure..

Oooh. I hope I didn't get you more angry.

I just wanted the newbies who misuse the forum to see that I am hip to their tricks.
I like it when newbies and rookies post something like a good deal on coupons, a great shopping buy or a helpful tip.
But don't ask us to help you win something and we don't know you from Adam.
