Today's Peeve is ......
Touch pad controls. Those miserable little alphabetical or numerical push buttons. On the wireless phone or cell phone or Microwave. You hit the button did it work or didn't it?? Mamsy Pamsy crap! I like a real switch with a click or clunk a positive action. One you can be sure of. Snap not mush..... Hope they aren't using these iffy, pathetic things in our missile silos!! What do you think ?? Feel the same way?

Good one Cowboy!!! I'm with you!! I hate it when I call my cable company and have to enter my account number to make the automated voice lady happy and it comes back and tells me it's invalid... it's always because one number didn't get recorded!!!
