Is this why women get lower car insurance premiums than men?

"The weight in pricing varies from company to company and by claims experience over time, but, for example, with all other factors being equal, a female between the ages of 18 and 25 would pay less than her male counterpart because as a rule younger women drivers have fewer accidents and moving violations than males in the same age group,” says Snyder, vice president and assistant general counsel of the American Insurance Association, in Washington, D.C.

100% spot on, yes, yes, YES!

One thing that irks me is disrespect to waiters/cashiers/retailers. That includes letting your kid disrupt business, tear up merchandise, etc. And all the while the parent acts like it's not even happening. I'd hate to see this person's house.

Older women whip out the checkbook for EVERYTHING!
Get a crappy job and get crappy results! Seriously, what did you expect? Retail sucks.

• entitlement -- falsely assumed or obnoxiously expressed are both repulsive
• bad manners in public, bad manners in private
• intelligence (real or simulated) masquerading as wisdom
• masking opinions, viewpoints or ideologies by using some verison of the word "natural" or some version of the phrase "that's the way it is"
• imprecise language, except when intended
• patronizing behavior or language
• careless (dangerous) driving

Offensive: like this?

When people at a restaurant talk about you and you can tell and you look at them and they continue?

Or, honestly- I talk like a sailor-girl- but when people use the eff word in a restaurant- I find it tasteless and offensive.

Also- drunk guys who hit on me and get "offended" when I say no.

Well I would imagine that guys would get in a much more serious crash then a woman (testesterone making us drive faster, cockier) but everytime I am driving behind someone who is driving oddly it tends to be a female.... but it's not always true, just usually...

on another note, I realize retail sucks, but it's flexable (I go to school) and it pays decently well...

What really offends me are those blister packs that everything is packaged in. You get blisters, if you don't slice open your hand first.

Have you ever spent a considerable amount of time around a Yankee fan? They are offensive and annoying!

Here, here!

Best baseball memory of my life - sitting at a friend's house in the 2004 playoffs, watching game 7 in a room split about 70/30 Sox fans against Yankees. The few Yankees fans wouldn't return calls for weeks.

I mean, if you're going to be denied something in a wonky-sized cartridge.

Always been more of a MP5K sort of guy myself. The corner store only carries NATO ball.

Fat chicks in tight clothes, guys in speedos, dumbasses who buy SUVs because they think they're safe (despite factual information that proves this wrong), people who are too lazy to use signals, and mexicans in america that don't speak english. If you move here, speak our language. I'm sick fo everything going bilingual, it is going to **** up the country.
