so if you saw me, you would think I'm a jerk also.

Yes.  That's true.   ;D  :rofl: :rofl2: :rofl: :rofl2:

Ya, I left the door wide open for that one.

Heh.  Couldn't resist.

And you're only allowed to use the parking space if the person for whom the placard was issued is getting in or out at that stop, not just because they're in the car.  Or at home.

But yeah, some disabilities aren't obvious.

Flipped my F1 calendar in my cubicle over to March this morning.  I've got to look at Lewis Hamilton for the next 31 days!  >:(

The Mrs leaving lights on after leaving the room.  Drives me bonkers.  Amazing how you can remember to turn the light on but you can't remember to turn it off. :banghead:

Only issue is that if someone sits quietly in the room say, reading, then the light will go out on them.  My gals are horrid at turns lights out, and I tried motion sensors and everyone hated them.

I have one in the basement, and one in the main level powder room.  Not that I care about the kids turning the lights on or off, I just don't want to do it for them!  As they can't reach! The $30 for a motion sensor switch, will take a long time to get any savings...

He should just get over it , led light bulb @ 8w even at 30 cent per kwhr, does not cost that much to run
