Simple.
Cigarettes are the equivalent of drugs with no enjoyment, no health benefit or purpose, therefore they are should be dealt with differently then things that are merely just "bad" for you.

I have a hosting service, not an email service. It's the virtual equivalent of having my own email server on my own domains, and I host several websites too. It's not for most people unless they run websites. You can find any number of services by Googling "web hosts." Some of them offer stripped down plans with email but no hosting, for less money.

I just wanted to add, NEVER unsubscribe from spam, i.e. the sender is not somebody you gave your email address to. Instead, you'll have to use a spam filter or other means to get rid of them. With spam, if you click the "unsubscribe" link that just tells the spammer that they have your real email address. You'll end up on lists that spammers sell one another.

That's why I have throw-away email addresses. When one of them starts getting spammed I just delete the address. NOBODY has my real email address. I give out only forwards which can easily be deleted. (I have a different email account for friends & family.)

I asked about inconveniences and annoyances, so clearly the question wasn't about major or life changing issues. I suppose you never get ticked off about anything, or nothing ever annoys you as you go about your day? (other than people who get ticked about about little annoyances apparently.) You have a good day.

Yep, as if they own the aisle or you are disturbing their conversation

Shame isn't it, so I think they should have some organic Kale, I just read about kale & so in an earlier reply

Wheelchair accessible bathrooms that don't have enough room for your chair to fit into the stall.

People who give you the stink-eye because you are using the handicap scooter and you happen to be overweight

Going to parades and you can't see because people stand in front of you.
Yes and they hog up the aisle and you say excuse me and they act like you are bothering them and of course some people don't look at you as if you are some kind of creature

Do they really think we enjoy riding in that scooter?
Geez you can't even fit your groceries in that thing, that's what irritates me

Lighten up. Everyone knows these aren't the equivalent to cancer.
right on

Yes, everything is just too much, overboard, I keep a pair of small pliers and small scissors handy, I now have scissors in my car if God forbid I have a headache and need to buy some asprin or anything when I'm on the road.

And do we really need a flip top then sealed plastic on top of the alcohol bottle (for cuts etc)
