My tone is all about the midrange. Maybe boost the treble and bass a bit to keep things evened out, but never the smiley face! What a godawful sound that is without enough midrange in your tone!
Smiley face EQ should be frowned upon! (Literally!
)Jackasses who park like this:
Seriously,if I can,I pull up my badly hail-damaged '97 RAV4 as close as I can to their driver side door. I'm a pretty big guy so I usually don't get much grief for it.
Also,people who drive big SUV's or pickups and can't stay in their own lane. If you can't drive it,don't own it!!
^ A whole damn lot of that going on in Texas. :scowl:
It's the out of state pretenders . . .
Four more.
People who call me and never leave a voicemail if I am not home. Then, I will see them or call them and they tell me they called but did not want to leave me a message. I always tell them that is why I have an answering machine for messages. Otherwise, how would I know they called. This is very annoying when I am are waiting for that person to get back.
Bar owners or managers who can never seem to call back to book a gig but somehow have no problem calling to cancel a gig.
Liars
People who ask me if my band is any good. We have played about 650 shows over the last 8 years, received awards including best regional band, played lots of high profile shows, opened for national acts, etc. Like I would say we suck. When I tell them we are good; then, they will ask how do I know if you are any good, I will have to hear you and let you know if you are good.

Roommates. Especially mine, when they think they can only pay half months rent because theyre moving with less than 30 days notice.
People who are happy to give advice about subjects they know zip/jot about. If you don't know something, just say so.
Inconsiderate/rude types.
LOUD mouths.
Rednecks.
People who won't shutup at concerts, especially during bass solos.

Inconsiderate people - this applies to:
* Slow drivers in the left lane... sure, they don't have to deal with anyone in front of them, but we all have to deal with trying to get around them.
* People who pace you to prevent you from passing... seriously, if you're going 65, I speed up to 75 to get around you, there's no reason you should be doing 80 to stay in front of me.
* People that tailgate me when I'm in the right lane. Seriously, there's a lane to the left of me to pass legally. Just because you want to speed doesn't mean I have to.
* People who HAVE to cut you off when you're the only car on the road, and then proceed to drive 10 mph under the speed limit.
And then the people who didn't "think" that they were inconveniencing you, and then get offended when you call them inconsiderate. That's what inconsiderate means, you don't consider how this affects others.

What I don't get are the people that have to lean up against the wall behind the urinal like they're getting ready to take a nap.

People who place propaganda/solicitation materials around the store or on vehicles in the lot.

People who "left their wallet in the car" and force me to wait until they return with it to finish ringing them up.
Foodstamp recipients that buy nothing but lobster, steak, crab legs, and junk food (and act entitled, like they're some sort of royalty)(stop wasting my tax money).

easy mr leary... get with the times. pants are made to fit up around the armpits anymore. they sure as hell arent comfortable there.
But they are made to cover your butt. There is no comfort advantage to wearing pants below your crack.
Nobody's saying you have to wear your pants around your armpits. We just don't want to see your arse or your undies . . . unless you're a hot chick, then it's ok provided you're not at work (office setting) or church.

If you choose to wear your pants like this, please remember that when you are working, I certainly WOULD like fries with that.
