| Irks |
| Driving |
One thing that really irks me is when people drive about 20 MPH when the speed limit is 55 MPH. I see a lot of that on my way home from work. I mean don't you think it's bad enough when we have to do 60 miles or more each way?
Another driving irk I have is when people decide they are going to site see in front of me in the middle of the road. I've been on some of the most heavily traveled roads there are and had cars have just stopped dead for no apparent reason. They have no consideration for who is behind them.

| Green Lights |
|
I'll never understand why a person can sit at a light when it's green. This is very inconsiderate of all the individuals behind them. Another issue is when some people stop in the middle of a road talking to someone expecting others to just wait until they are done gabbing. I mean come on people try to realize that some of us have places to go and things that are important and have a schedule.

| Hurricane Crisis |
It frustrates me that companies have taking advantage of the hurricane crisis. Gas Prices were high enough before the hurricane struck. I also find it hard to believe they were forced to raise prices as high and fast as they did. It seems a little extreme to me. If it keeps going this way their going to cripple this country.
I'm very disappointed in the way individuals are taking advantage of the crisis in New Orleans. People have lost their homes and businesses and yet there's looting and violence going on to an extreme. After all this I still like to believe that there are more people willing to help than there are who would take advantage of these situations.

| Is it free |
It really irks me when I am searching the web for free information and topics pop up with a free trial which almost always has a catch. I wish people would wake up and realize I am not looking for a free trail but for something that should be free. There is a very large difference between the two. With a free trial you are trying to entice someone into buying a product which is being sold. If a product was actually that good it would be an immediate sell.
I realize the concept of having a web site is to make money and that is the main purpose of business which includes search engines and directories. What I would like to see however is more sites on top which are not selling products and instead are merely providing free information to assist others in making their life and times easier. Perhaps since these sites do not make money for those doing the advertising they will have a harder time ending up on top.

| Inconsiderate people |
|
One thing that really irks me is individuals who are going to post what I consider to be junk and adult links on a sites guestbook. This is very irritating since the page has to be constantly monitored especially when the site is focusing on families. These people have no consideration or respect for others. Perhaps its because they don't even respect themselves. That was the reason I took down the guestbook. Now I cannot even get comments from my visitors unless they email me.

| Money making schemes |
There was always one thing I could never understand (especially when I was a few years younger). It actually bothered me that individuals could claim they know all the answers on how become rich overnight. Of course first they would ask you to send for a free trial offer (Yes I've sent for a few in my life). When you receive the items (in my case it was through the mail) you read on and on just to find out they require more money. After you send more money they send you another packet of information.
I don't by any means claim to be the smartest person there is. However I do know how to read this material and in my opinion most of it is just a sales pitch. After trying many of these items my question to the individuals who sell these products is. If you are so good at making money through these methods then why are you asking all of us to send you money? Or is it just because of us that your making so much money?

| Public place |
I hate it when someone leaves their cell phone on in a movie theater and hospitals. Even though you are supposed to keep cell phones off in hospitals, I've heard them go off there. Some people have no consideration for others. If I had my way all cell phones in movie theaters and hospitals would be blocked automatically.
One thing that irritates me most and maybe I am being to picky about this one. But I think people should look behind them first before they decide to stand up in certain public places. I am referring to sports arenas, stadiums, movie theaters etc. A lot of people are very tall and the shorter individuals cannot see over them no matter how hard they try.
All I am trying to say on this page is "Please" let's consider others before we decide to do something. I personally think there is enough trouble in the world with the terrorists who claim to kill in the name of God. I believe if God wanted someone dead he would do it himself and not ask an individual to do it for him.

| Virus writers |
This website was created to educate individuals who surf the web. We have a large amount of experience with the Internet (Web) and computers. Our purpose is to assist others in making the Web a more enjoyable place for family and friends. It's our belief that people can play in the same sandbox (Sorry but I always relate things to sandboxes. You know as in Why can't we all just get along. Well I say why can't we all play in the same sandbox).
I also believe that those individuals creating viruses and trying to take advantage of others should be shot. If their as good as they think why can't they program for corporations like I do. Or are they a "Legend in their own mind". Get a life guys (or is it that no one with a mind wants anything to do with you). Maybe that should tell you that you're not near as good as you think you are.

| Questionable |
| Prescriptions |
|
One thing which disturbs me when I watch advertisements on television or hear them on the radio is the ads for medicine. It seems we have come to accept the fact that along with almost all pills that are advertised they usually seem to mention that there are side effects. Now do not get me wrong I realize that there may well become a time in our life we need to take a pill now and then, Sometimes I just wonder if they need to be prescribed often as they are. If it was natural to take pills so often would there be as many side effects? Are there other methods such as alternative health which should be looked into more than they are, or is it just easier to prescribe a pill and hide the real problem. Have we become a society who cares more about popping a pill rather than actually trying to correct the problem?

| Diagnosis |
|
Today there seems to be a diagnosis for everything that can possibly happen to a Person. There is definitely a lot more sensitivity today than there was when I was growing up, it seems like they have a name for every possible mood someone can have today. There are definitely times when they are correct and we need to diagnose issues correctly. However sometimes I wonder if some of these diagnoses are not just utilized to prescribe more pills. Sometimes I believe that the reason there are so many problems is because of such a dependency on prescription pills.

| Gas Prices |
|
Is there a hidden agenda when it comes to fuel prices and if there is who is behind it. Surfing the web will reveal a lot of theories as to those who may be controlling the world and trying to create one ruling party. The concept of having one ruling party is that it's easier to control the masses that way. In my opinion controlling gas prices fits in with this master plan, and yes it does make sense to me. We have all heard of the term monopoly well think about it this would be the ultimate monopoly and the worst part is we will not even know who the ones behind the monopoly actually are. Of course all of this is based on a saying I heard all of my life It would be a miracle if you can get two New Yorkers to agree on anything.
