Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Buffsoldier 1895]

That 1/2" by 9" long flat spot on my windshield that the wipers can't get to when it's way below freezing (-5 F this morning).

 

Corollary:  When the windshield warms up enough to where the wipers can get it, it automatically switches to "Trivial things that please the ever living shit out of me".

What grinds my gears is when you are trying to order breakfast at a restaurant or a hotel and their only breakfast sausage option is a turkey sausage. What kind of indifedal is okay with that? How is this a good market strategy? I guess I’m the only one who didn’t get the weirdo sausage memo? And don’t get me started on the chicken sausage option. I’ll never choose that particular Hello Fresh meal kit so stop giving it as an option. Chicken sausage is for the extremely perverted and weird. I’m not from the North; I don’t eat that. I’m from Texas. 

As a representative of the delegation known as the north, we do not claim turkey sausage.

You will enjoy life a lot more if you give up sports talk radio.

I listened all of the time for about 35 years and just got tired of it. Have not listened in years.

Hosts say the same old shit all of the time and seem to spend a lot of time telling you what is coming up next and the callers are idiots.

Don't miss it at all.

Put on some good music and your day will be much better.

I only listen during football season but it does give me tired head once I got older. It's the same shit being spewed over and over. Only so much I can take. I have scaled way back on what I even listen to during football season. There's only a few local shows here in the DFW worth listening to for sports.

It's not normal but I've had some good chicken sausage. Definitely should not be the sole sausage option, however.

I'd try sole sausage if that was an option.

Had some sausage made from sea skate that gets exported to Japan. Pretty god damned tasty IMO

Listening to sports talking heads on the radio......"right" is about to overtake "literally" ,  "at the end of the day" and "let's be honest" as required statements.

He is a good QB, right? He wants a big contract, right? He is going to get drafted in the first round, right?.... At first I thought it was just this Alex Marvez character. I still don't know who he is. But it seems to be about every other guest on whatever show I am listening to.

and for the corporate-speak guru's...the word "future" is outdated. It is now "on a go-forward basis".

My cousin's been saying "right?" for years, and I just thought it was a quirk of her's.  As you point out, it's fucking everywhere now.

Right?

Whoa.  Easy, buddy.  I'm not sure what you mean by "North", but in Iowa/Wisconsin, bratwurst is god damned way of life.  There ain't no god damned chicken sausage unless you go to Trader Joe's.

I've never understood bratwurst. Or any non-spicy sausage for that matter. It it isn't hot, what's the point of eating it?

I hate takeout places that tie a knot with the handles of the plastic bag making me cut or rip it open to get my food. For some reason, 99% of Asian restaurants have figured out the perfection of the slip knot, allowing you to carry the bag with one nicely centered handle (trivial thing that pleases the shit out of me) while 100% of the rest either tie a knot or do nothing.  Both of these far inferior options make me surlier than they should.

Meh. Most of the time they are sitting down and you don't see the shoes. The suit is for show. Wear some Chucks and it's fine.

No. Chucks with a suit are dumb as hell too. If I couldn't see their feet, I wouldn't know that they are wearing sneakers. Be a grown man, and wear dress shoes with your suit. Change back into your precious sneaks after your hour or two on air ends.

I don't own jerseys of any sport.I also don't live a life that would cause me to have any court dates to worry about.

It's pretty common for these broadcasters to wear comfortable shows with their suits in a show where they are sitting down for the duration. No biggie.

If they have equipment running in the car (Mobile Data Terminal, camera system, etc), they run off the car, and it would drain the battery in no time.  Thus they leave the cars on to utilize the alternator.  Plus, ain't there gas or car.

From my experiences:

At shift change, car video data is uploaded at the station, MDT is shut down, camera system is shut down, then the car is shut down.  Issues arose if you shut down the vehicle without uploading the video data.

All that sensitive equipment is also why an LEO won't give a stranded motorist a jump start. They'll call roadside assistance. Unless you got yuuuuge knockers.

Watching mongoloids tear at a paper towel dispenser like a deranged monkey. Hey dipshit, if you'll just pull down at a reasonable rate it really will auto feed the next sheet so you don't have to put your grubby dickskinners on the dispenser and it will leave a tag end for the next schmuck to grab.
