Re: What's wrong in TV
 

My wife and I also have a few minor "gripes" about TV. #1 on my list is people who simply refuse to signal when coming off the rotaries. Maybe it was just a Maine thing but when you leave a rotary you signal your intention. #2 on my list and this is primarily for the guys. Most of us are 50-70 years of age. You were taught etiquette at one time. What happened? Take your Da#!% baseball cap off when entering someone's home, any building and especially when being seated at a table. I don't allow it in my home nor in public places with the kids/grandkids. #3 Is having to purchase bags to put recyclables in. We pay and do the work and the outfit that picks up the stuff gets the money for the cans, etc. What's up with that?
My wife's #1 gripe is people who park their golfcart at the shallow end of a parking spot. I don't like it either but I seldom drive the golfcart.
As I stated, very small "gripes" but you asked!!

PS: One other is TOTV folks who do not sign their name when posting messages.

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Speaking of TOTV posters, I have noticed that many new members do not add to their profiles the places they previously lived. I, as many earlier members, always enjoy that.

Jerry, posting your real name on the internet could be dangerous.

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Jerry - My real name is in my handle so no need to repeat with every msg.

As far as hats go - we've lost that battle. It has become acceptable to wear hats at all times. We may still request it in our own homes but you are going to see it more and more in restauants etc.

I think you can choose to do recycling or not. If you just use one non-clear bag the whole thing goes to the landfill - right? I like the bag idea better than containers since TV would be littered with containers not being brought back into the garage until many hours have passed. Or even worse some may leave them outside the garage all day, every day until it is time to bring them to the curb. We do that here in MA and it is unsightly, convenient yet but unsightly.

I agree with the rotary signals if you are not going straight through. But in some ways it doesn't matter since the person IN the rotary has the right of way anyway, just give them some leeway.

We have not lost that battle !!!!

A gentleman always removes his hat when entering a building....just as a gentleman always carries a handkerchief in his pocket.....Its called breeding , its called education, Its called Culture, You never see a military man wear his hat indoors or a police officer unless they are armed of course and then its regulation......But to not remove your hat at dinner is a sure sign of being a second class citizen who doesn't know any better..........
We all have hot buttons and you just hit mine.........

tip of the hat fumar

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Fumar.....

:agree: :agree: I have the same button!!!!!!

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Fumar....is your name Jim??? You sound just like my Dad....and I really like him...

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

O Great Fumar:

Your avatar pic looks to be taken indoors with your hat on.

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Chuckinca, I think Fumar was standing under a streetlight one damp and misty evening when that picture was taken.

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Hats in restaurants. Please don't get my wife started. :yikes:

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Fumar, I agree 100% with your sentiment but as far as the military, sorry to tell you but I was recently inside the Arizona monument in Hawaii and there were a dozen or more military both male and female and NONE of them removed their cover. When I mentioned to a colonel standing there, that the military used to teach in basic training to remove your cover indoors and in solemn places such as the Arizona burial site in respect, he looked at me like I was speaking martian. I guess times have changed and not for the better. I also believe it shows a complete lack of class and upbringing. :agree:

Re: What's wrong in TV
 

Thought of one! WVLG plays the same commercials over and over and over.... Grandma, how can I learn to play shuffleboard like you? :(

Fumar: They are not wearing hats, they are hidding their boldness.
