I suspect that your dislike of Moras has nothing to do with the quality of the knives and EVERYTHING to do with your apparent bias against the nation in which they are manufactured.Quote:

Ah, there is a seed of truth in that, but as you can see fro the other topic we have discussed this matter, I indeed see the world of knives differently. Also, just for the record I use Mora brand knives daily at my work as a warehouse worker at Wärtsilä. The knives primary function is to open cardboard boxes, which it handles with minimal difficulties. It is a reasonable tool fore such trivial tasks, as I see it. I have to get a new knife every two weeks, cause it won't keep edge, no matter how you sharpen it. It is made to be disposable, and I don't want that with my "real" knives.
Perhaps you heve never learned how to sharpen a knife properly? :innocent:Quote:

....or maybe the folks from Sweden harbor some of the same ill feelings toward their Finnish neighbors and send them all of the rejects just to mess with them. Nah, that can't be it.
Actually that might explain many things.... :p
Hey....you guys, be nice to the Finn! His people made one of my Mosin-Nagant's pretty collectible! LOL:)
Mora Knife employee, one for us, this reject for Finland, one for us, this reject for Finland, etc..... :nono:
People who know they will have to merge because of construction, but still rush up and cut everyone off. Some guy in a Mini Cooper did that. I drive a van, but he kept pulling in. I finally had to let him in. He waved at me to thank me. I waved back but not with all of my fingers.
How many fingers did you use? :innocent:Quote:

Along that same thought - adults that were never disciplined as a child.Quote:

I'd like to say that stupid people are a pet peeve of mine, but. . . without them I would probably be out of a job.
My pet peeves:
- Clueless CEOs who mislead board of directors, and end up destroying pensions and laying off 1000's of workers. "He who gives the presentation, controls the flow of information."
- Owners who let their dogs crap on my lawn.
- Kids who throw their garbage on the street and it blows into my yard. I blame the parents.
- People who abuse government services. Some people need help to get back on their feet, but some people really abuse the system.
Packaging Changes. :sneaky2:
A few years back (I think Maxwell House started it) coffee packaging changed from vaccuum-sealed metal cans to these el-cheapo plastic containers. Nobody will convince me that shelf life wasn't reduced.
I was in Wally World on Saturday and there it was. Maxwell house back in cans that looked like the originals - EXCEPT THEY WERE MADE OUT OF CARDBOARD! :sneaky2::sneaky2::sneaky2:
Shelf life will soon be measured in days, not years. :thumbdown:
Telemarketers are now calling my cell phone. Can't get rid of them no matter what you do.
I have a similar problem. I called my cell carrier (Verizon) and got indignant with them, I gave them a list of numbers that were bothering me and they blocked them. The key was telling them that the numbers were telemarketers. They will try to tell you that they can't, but with a bit of pushing, they did it.Quote:

People that post on forums like they text on phones. When you have a full keyboard, there is no excuse to not use proper English. I understand slang for fun or trying to convey a certain point. It is time to grow up and entire the real world little girls and boys.
I also don't like stupid people. :bat:
Last one today..
People that put lots of smiley faces on their posts.

LOL will you be my BFF. No but seriously I read an article not long ago about teens and texting. From what I read they seem to have a secret code so the parents don't know what they are talking about. I'm afraid it will only get worse. Did you see the texting competetion on the television a few days ago. Basically they were promoting shorthand texting. :smash:Quote:

Ok Mods get ready as you may have to delete mine.....
Politicians who for some reason or other think that it is fair to send an 18 year old to some foreign land they have only heard of to fight and die for their country. The same politicians believe that such an age group is NOT mature enough to go out and buy a beer!!!! Mature enough to die but not to drink... Never mind that goes along with STUPID PEOPLE after all!!!
That is my number 1 MAJOR PET PEEVE!!!!!!!!!!
2dumb, are you reading this? :innocent:Quote:
