Haven't been to a Whole Foods in well over a year. Nearest one is over in Indy, 2 hrs away. Same with Trader Joe's.

I have 5 exotic cars, and my new home will only have space in the display room for 4 of them. I have to work out which 4 should be in there, and which one is banished to the garage to be left unseen by human eyes.

Also, I think every car should be driven at least once a month, so I have to work out a schedule for that for those 5 cars, plus my daily driver which can't be left out.

Ran to the market today to pick up some bread. There was a lady 2 people ahead of me with 17 items in the 10 item or less line.

I park at the farthest/emptiest place on a parking lot, but there is always one, who would park next to me.

The PM5 controller on my Concept2 rower crapped out on me today. Had to enter my stats manually in the logbook.

That's not NEARLY as bad as going there to pick up the food that you've ordered online and they don't have the free range brown eggs I like in the right size and they substitute them with smaller eggs. On top of this outrage, the have the temerity to try and slip the smaller eggs on you without telling you.

Every time my local Starbucks hires someone new, they embarrass themselves when they dont know who I am when I rock up and say I'll have the usual, and the old staff has to correct them.
This continues until they remember my name, what my vehicles look like, ect...
The regular staff are making my drinks when they see me turn in.

Don’t even get me started on how they pick for for delivery. Parmigiano Reggiano rinds are not the same thing as grated Parmigiano Reggiano!

When my hands are cold, I'll go in my car and use the heated wheel. If I leave it on rather than just use it for a couple minutes, my hands get so used to the nice, warm wheel that when I go back into my 70 degree apartment, they get even colder than they were before.

I mean, WTF?? Do they not recognize the folks who keep them in business? You shouldn't even have to pause at the speaker. They should just have your order ready as you pull up. Whatever happened to customer service in this country anyway?

I so miss my heated steering wheel from my X5. The idiot who originally owned my GLC300 got heated seats, but no heated steering wheel. Obviously some lame-brain who wore mittens all winter.

Dude, leather gloves and a heated wheel are the best.

My hands are weird. Super wide but kinda stubby fingers (long for like anyone else but cor my hands they're short). I either have to deal with only specifically Target leather gloves or have them custom made, which is a pain in the ass. Woe is me.

Oh and my gaming laptop's RGB keyboard isn't as bright as I want it. Dios mio.

That would have been a deal breaker for me. Lol. How did we live all these years without heated steering wheels?

The X5 was in the shop a couple of weeks ago and they gave me a brand new, with only 150 or so miles on it, X2. WTF?!?!?!!! 5-3=2. They should have given me AT LEAST an X3.

To add to the outrage, there were NO HEATED SEATS!! Both my GF and I had to get into a car with cold leather UNHEATED seats.

What has happened?!?!!! Has civilization completely collapsed!?!!

Someone close the door and turn the lights off on our civilization when they leave the room!!

When I bought my car, despite doing plenty of research, I didn't know E90s had heated wheels as an option. A few days after buying it, I was reaching on the side of the column and suddenly WOW IT HAS A HEATED WHEEL?????? A chorus of angels came down and sang the praises of BMW.

My wife's Hyundai, which I despise, doesn't have a heated wheel, but does have heated cloth seats. They burn your ass on hi, barely effective on low. Owning my BMW makes driving the Sonata hybrid that much worse.
