having to press a button to turn it off is actually more irritating

I disagree. I like a car that does what I tell it to do. On older cars, when I press the accelerator they accelerate. On cars with stop-start (and mine does), when I press the accelerator it starts the engine, then accelerates.

And it's not like it reliably turns the engine off anyway. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. If i so much as touch the sterring wheel it restarts the engine. If a pigeon sneezes nearby the same...

And lastly, it will wear out your battery slightly quicker according to the guy who replaced the battery that died on my car.

Automatic wipers are annoying

Are they? I like mine - not having to operate my wipers manually like some kind of peasant.

Almost every British insult is like this.

• I admire your courage in wearing that!
• Your personality is unique.
• I'm genuinely impressed by your unconventional approach to social intercourse.
• Your hair is magnificent, does it grow everywhere like that?
• You have such a tremendous, characterful appearance. Ever thought about a career in radio?
• You're really very special, aren't you?

I, too, will die quickly and painfully at the teeth of zombies!

Used to be. Since I had kids, the answer is no.

I have a spreadsheet of every meal I've cooked for the last three years, with a meals look-up tab that allows me to filter by cuisine, protein, carb, and then also pulls in the date from the planning sheet so I can see how long it is since I last cooked that meal. Makes weekly meal planning a lot easier, eg: I want a chicken and rice dish that I haven't cooked for at least two months, then a vegetarian pasta dish for next day. No problem!

My buddy's friend knew the guy who painted the helicopter that was used in Rambo III. Oh yeah! I've been drinking free on that one for years (as long as I'm drinking tap water).
