    Milwaukee hole shooter drills are my favorite. I had one fall off a 6 ft ladder and bounce off my head. I was glad it balanced itself to not let the drill bit hit me though. My gripe with them is ; first, the cord replacement is $20 something and I think they should last longer. Second, I have two hole shooters but one has the metal keyless chuck. The keyless chuck slips and that sucks.

    Re: Got A Gripe?

    One of my gripes is when driving on the Interstate highway and trying to maintain 75MPH with the cruise control on and being behind another vehicle also doing 75. When the other driver starts to pass an 18 wheeler(doing 70 MPH), they slow to 70.25 MPH until they are past the truck, then speed back up to 75 again. If your driving 75, and go to pass a big truck, stay at that speed and get on past, don't SLOW DOWN. That puts you driving next to the big rig for much longer, and increases the chance of something bad happening. I guess these people have never seen what can happen when one of those big truck tires blows out. I cant figure out WHY they do this. Does anyone do this or know why they do this?
    I have had times that when the other driver sped back up and got in the right lane again and I speed up to put them in the rear view mirror, they speed up also to keep me from passing them. Then the next line of trucks they get to, they slow down again while passing, only to speed up again after the pass. This chaps my a$$ when they do this when I have somewhere to go and don't have their same schedule.

    Damn right! Cover that mess up with some clothes that fit...or a table cloth...or a curtain...or a tarp...geez...

    Me and my kids were at Dairy Queen one time (little one was in grade school) and we were sitting eating our Blizzards.
    Gigantic fat lady got a large Blizzard and my little one goes "ummmm....isn't that kind of backwards...shouldn't she be getting a small one?"

    ...out of the mouths of babes...lol

    Edit: Oh I forgot - and the worst ones are the people who are so fat their belly hangs out the bottom of their shirts flopping around!

    You know what kinds my gears...

    People who park in a handicapped spot and look to be about 25 years old with no problems that jog into the store. Same goes for the young kids who ride around stores in thehandicap carts because they think it's fun. They need to learn what being handicapped is all about, it ain't fun. I had to use a cane to walk in my 20's and it was not fun at all. And I refused to used the stupid carts.

    Another thing that grinds my gears...

    People that abuse or mistreat their pets. If you can't be nice to animals then you don't deserve to have any. I saw a women jerking her little dog around by its leash including pulling it off the ground, I offered to strangle her with that leash if she did it again.


    Alright... rant over for now.

    That sucks. I drove through an awful snow storm many years ago and finally decided to pull off and get a room for the night. Found out it was a dry county. Almost kept driving.
