They advertise all sorts of medical stuff that would never be allowed here.
And the disclaimers at the end are eye-watering!

That would drive me insane. I already hate commercials here so much that I record everything I watch so I can FF through the Ads.. but those American commercials would have me throwing the telly out.. :D
 

It drives me crazy that I drop stuff constantly. It is like I don't have a tight enough grip and it drops out of my hand. I have been exercising my hands but still happens.

I don't get them on my computer because of the ad blocker but in the evening I watch YouTube on my television and Amazon puts the ads on there.

I really don't get any Youtube Ads at all on firefox on my Mac.. I noticed however that if I watch YT on my Ipad then they're there at the beginning of each Video.. that's very annoying but I rarely ever watch YT on my Ipad so it matters little to me..
 
Lately I've been on various forums and I'm seeing the "Google is your friend" a lot. Now why?

Because people think that others should be doing the research or search Instead of them. It's also a slacker attempt to make someone dance for you (mentally speaking)

That's why when I see a obvious question such as "Why does that happen?" I respond "Google is your friend"
 
In real life, I've very few friends. As an Aries, it isn't always easy to make friends and to keep that friendship level...

However, whenever they're having problems, I'm there helping them out, listening and offering words of wisdom to make them feel better. Then, when it's my turn pouring my heart out (just like them and about the same length) they just ignore my problems with a dismissive response, similar to this:

"Oh nothing new with me. The weather was nice but a bit nippy...!"

Argh! It's like I'm not allowed to get a compassionate reply or at least an acknowledgement that they're not the only one going through bad patches.

Selfishness, maybe?

I'm also an Aries.. very archetypical at that, .. . Like you I'm there for anyone when they need help..in fact I'm usually the first and the one doing most for them, and I have found exactly the same as you.. people don't really care ( this forum aside).. when I have a problem. Very dismissive about it, no help..

I just stopped telling people..

I guess I should stop, but you know @hollydolly it's deeply rooted in our psyche. I'm in the first decant. Although supposedly competitive, I've learned to stop competing against others and try to just compete with myself šŸ˜†

Happy early birthday dear Holly.

Another thing that drives me crazy... Imagine an office of about 20 girls. Each get their own birthday cakes whenever it's theirs, but comes March, you're completely ignored as you're the only one in that month and then comes April. They now expect you to come and share the other girls cakes who are Geminis... The cheek. I stopped contributing very early on...

just a little correction... other girls birthdays would be Taureans not Gemini's ... ..(y) I'm in the third decan of my sign so I have it worse with regard to Taureans because I'm almost at the cusp.... however despite some astrologers saying the first Decan embodies all the typical behaviours of the Aries.. I don't agree with that, because I'm absolutely archetypal, and yes that means I'm verrrry competitive.. .. whereas my daughter who was born in the 2nd Decan isn't...archetypal in the same way ..altho' she is also very competitive, and a winner at everything.

Happy early birthday to you too Supernatural.. if I could bring a cake to you I would when the time comes.. (y)šŸ¤—

Thanks @hollydolly I forgot the words, typing too fast and the correction suggestions mess up things. It should have said, then April nothing until end of May for the bunch of Geminis. Sorry!

Aye being on the cusp means that you've inherited traits from both. In my immediate circle I've so many Tauruses. Daughter, nephew and hubby, so I see these traits in Aries that fall on the cusp. Others who were Tauruses aren't mentioned as they were very unpleasant lol!

My favourite Aries quote and a virtual chocolate cake for everyone's birthdays.
 
That Betrayal Quote is spot on !!! I always tell folks.. I will do anything for you if your my friend..I will always be loyal..(in fact I value loyalty above everything only next to honesty)... but betray me, and you are dead to me...

Yes they do say those born on the cusp ( altho' I'm a few days before the cusp on the 17th).. have Traits of the next.. but I can tell you I have no Taurus in me.. my disloyal cheating husband has... ( not saying that's because he's a Taurean).. but I have no similar traits to him.. altho' his patience.. is something I wouldn't mind having..

All that said there's a member on here who shares my birthday, I won't name her in case she doesn't want me to... but she's as chalk and cheese to me as can be.. very nice lady, but not bold and go getting like me at all..

Aside my husband almost all my family circle are Aries...

Something which drives me crazy is when measurements are in centimetres. I can only think in feet and inches. Whenever I'm browsing on-line, I have to keep a tape measure handy.

Me too.. and it drives my daughter nuts when I say it in Imperial, she'll tut and say FGS mum I don't know about feet and inches..
 
Something like this drives me crazy. The interior light in my car wouldn't go out so I removed the light bulbs. After that, the empty light bulb sockets started making this annoying buzzing, rattling noise whenever I drove, so I rather roughly messed around with the light until it finally became quiet. Yes I confess, I used my fist to abuse the innards that poor light. I shouldn't have such a short fuse, but the technology in cars now makes this kind of thing happen. Used to be the light would come on when you opened the door and went off when you closed it. This light came on when I turned off the key and stayed on for a while as a courtesy, but instead of going out on its own after a time, it just stayed on all the time. Stuff like that is designed to fail. Grr.

Lateness. If you want to show up at 6:10 or 7:00 or sometime tomorrow, just say so. Don't tell me 6 o'clock.

Good point. My wife and I 15 years ago visited a friend and his wife not far from Vienna. I had met him on the internet. We had to drive about two hours from our hotel and arrived 10 minutes earlier. So we stopped at his village and waited until it was one minute before. As we arrived at his house we were exactly in time to the second. He was astonished. We didn't tell him the reason.šŸ¤£

I suppose for me it's the people that drive in the left lane at or below the speed limit and refuse to move over.

I can understand your frustration. I have no business being in a left lane, because I drive at exactly the speed limit.

However, sometimes we don't have much choice. Immediately upon getting off a ferry (that I'd never taken before), I found myself in the left lane of a crowded multilane high-speed highway in a major city. People were honking. I would have loved to get into the right lane (and, in fact, off the highway), but there was too much traffic to do so safely.

Then there was the time I took a ramp onto another city highway. Instead of feeding into the right lane, it fed into the left lane. Of course there were cars behind me on the ramp, so I had to go for it. Terrible!

So I could say being forced into a left lane is something that drives me crazy.
