    What’s the deal with people walking very slowly to cross the street, when I’m making a right turn? Act like you have something to do!

    I find myself more irritated by people that wear genuine high-end watches.

    I was on the watch collecting bandwagon. I’m not a fan anymore, that’s all. Not clowning on anyone particular. I narrowed it all down to 1 Casio w217.

    Cheap, functional, practical

    I dunno, still a little brand name. I don't know how you can be giving people grief if you didn't pick it up in the toy aisle of your local Dollar General.

    Sensible. You're safe.

    I'm a steaming hypocrite anyway. I buy more useless crap than anyone I know.

    Good to see you still posting, Bob :)

    I hate it when I am sent a check in the mail and told do nothing with it. Nothing gets done with it so the check written comes to me asking why I did not cash the check.

    I've got the Seiko that the JR (Japan Rail) conductors are issued to keep the trains running on time. Only wear it in waistcoat season though :)

    ETA: And it's only an affectation until you mentally internalize it as natural. Then you can be simply accused of bad taste (unless you're fiendishly wealthy)

    I like a nice pocket watch so I can get on board with that.

    Yup, I'm still around! Just no nearly as much as I used to be as I've been doing other things lately ;)

    I worked at a smelter long time ago, but for safety reasons we weren't allowed to wear jewelry or wristwatches of any sort. So if you wanted to watch the clock, you needed a pocket watch to do it.

    Ooh, a smelter! I always wanted to play with one of those. Probably not a good idea.

    Do they test the accuracy of that clock by comparing it to trains?

    I do not like carrying an umbrella to carry an umbrella, but it is raining now.

    Nothing beats having your junk stuck to your inner thigh due to sweat. By Wotans hairy ass crack, summer is just terrible.
