The people that apparently have nothing better to do with their time than buy lottery tickets and stand at the checkout scratching them off.

Major retailers that can't seem to grasp that a self opening door should OPEN when a person walking at a normal pace approaches the door, and then when told that the door doesn't open and that it's a safety issue can't seem to grasp that the whole world doesn't use a walker to get around.

Waiting in line at the auto parts store for 10 minutes and then having the clerk take a phone call just as I get there and spend another 10 minutes BSing with his pal.

Young store clerks that have no manners whatsoever, are covered in foul and disgusting tattoos, wearing clothing better suited to a rock concert or perhaps for selling themselves on the street, that smell worse than I do.

Townies that think the road past my farm is either a NASCAR racetrack, a very long, narrow landfill or a free fire zone.

Politicians and reporters that are obviously lying through their teeth that seem to think if they repeat a lie enough it will somehow become true.

Young people who seem to think someone owes them a living, a very, very good living, just because they can breath and talk.

Druggies and drunks.

People who always steer any conversation, no matter what the subject, back to themselves and what they are doing in life, as though their lives are somehow all that matters. This is not to be confused with people venting, especially farmers, the elderly, stay at home parents or other folks that work/live without a lot of outside human interacting. People need to vent to someone, I get that.

Internet know it all's that have never used, seen or known anyone that has used a specific item, whatever it may be that offer strong opinions that make absolutely no sense to anyone that actually has used the item. Top contenders in this area include discussion of buzzsaws, stickler type wood splitters, Gravely tractors, pressured gasoline "blow torches", any David Brown, BMC or Fordson tractor, radial arm saws, an adz, Spanish/Turkish/South American made guns, British automobiles, pretty much anything ever offered for sale at any discount retailer (think Harbor Freight, Northern Tool), older chainsaws w/o chain brakes, any discussion of sheep, goats or draft horses, any discussion of reloading ammunition or use of cast bullets, any discussion of fence maintenance in the snow belt by people from someplace where winter doesn't last 7-8 months.

Huh. I guess there's quite a lot that sets me off because I'm only just getting started.........

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought. ...
