Things I hate today, an incomplete list:

1. products that blame you for not being good/smart/creative/whatever enough if you don't like them
2. "man cave"
3. anti-feminists
4. pointless rules
5. ineffective systems
6. yellow mustard

I'm actually having a great day, but all those things can DIAF.

What's on your list?

- a check engine light which can be triggered by improper screwing on of the gas cap, but can only be cleared by a mechanic.

- the incompatibilities of many/most young kids' school options with the schedule of parents working "normal" hours.

- customers who insist on an eta for a fix after I have repeatedly told them said fix is probably not possible and addresses behavior which is not a bug in the first place.

- capitalism.

They sell gadgets that you can plug into your car that allow you to read the code from the car's computer that caused the check engine light to come on and clear the code (which turns off the check engine light). I've seen them for as low as about $60. Some of the fancier gadgets that can do the same thing will give you a lot of interesting information from the onboard computer, like instantaneous MPG, engine RPM, coolant temperature, engine loading, horsepower, along with having useful trip computer information. The one I have is a ScanGauge 2, which runs about $150 or so, and has all the fun trip-computery features.
