Trivial Things That Make You Surly

[Vic Mackey 47,151]

Yeah that shit was way too late for a Sunday. Has it always been that way? Sunday seems better suited to be done by 6 or 7 pm.

No, when CBS aired the whole thing and they cut in and out of games, it ended early on Sunday. Now that they stagger every single start to where every game ends and starts on it's own, they go very late. Since TBS, TNT and TruTv all air games now.

Which is kind of ironic. Now that they have a dedicated broadcast vehicle for every game, they carefully stagger them to minimize overlap.

People who don't cancel meetings they have no intention of attending. 

If it's your meeting, and you can't make it, fucking cancel it.

or when they cancel it 10 minutes prior to the meeting, after you've structured your day around coming into the office to attend.

Kid birthday parties on Sunday. WTF. I don't care if his birthday falls on a Sunday, it's a bad idea. Are you going to have it on a Monday next year? Especially during the school year. Not to mention I have to work the next day. Asshole parents.

Was that an evening thing? Or is it inconvenient for a daytime thing too...? Our daughter will be 2 in a few days and while we're at least a year away from scheduling birthday parties w/other kids attending, I may have a chance to learn something.

Don't do Sunday at all.  It's bad form.

The NCAA Tournament was better when the Round of 32 games ended Sunday early evening. teams besides Duke, North Carolina, and Kentucky had legitimate shots at winning the title.

Saturday, always Saturday.  My son's birthday is Halloween, so we've never even attempted to land his party on the exact day.

Maybe during the summer, but Sunday is essentially a school night. So 3 1/2 hours of pizza, cake and ice cream is a bad idea.

This, it's the weekend.  Saturday and Sunday are fair game for kids, and adult parties. (SEE: The Super Bowl).

99 times out of 100, I agree, but serious question: What if it's a Saturday during football season? I know several people who'd rather miss a pro game than miss a college one.

Not when the damn place doesn't server alcohol. Incredible Pizza sucks.

At least at It'z(another Sunday party) they had a bar.

You have a few options...10am start at an Urban Air type place to get people out early, parents can drop off and pick with no expectation that they stay, or (my favorite) have it at a place with a full bar and a bunch of TVs.

Sunday is fine but that’s too late and too long. Two hours, early afternoon.

Parents shouldn't plan parties that require the other invited kids parents to attend, unless they're good friends.  Drop kid off, pick kid up is OK.

my kids are 5 and 3 and I can't fucking WAIT for them to get old enough to do drop off parties.

(I actually have no idea why I'm bitching because my wife is always the one to take the kids to those parties, as I refuse to spend three hours of my weekend hanging out with strangers with whom my only connection is a child who happens to be the same age. )

I guess I've said, "I'd like some coffee" or "I'll have some coffee please" a thousand times in a restaurant or club.  I've never heard somebody say, "I'd like some latte" until just now two tables over.  And they brought her one, and it looks great.  But who the fuck says, "I'll take some latte"???

When your homeowner's insurance company, who you've only been with for 1 year, hits you with a 32% year over year increase forcing you to shop for new insurance again. Motherfuckers, I'd like to be able to go a couple of years before your incessant rate creep forces me to shop around again. What are you thinking?

I only mentioned his race to be more descriptive, although it really wasn’t relevant to the story. He single-handedly vaulted DC to 2nd place on my “Cities with most aggressive homeless population” list. Even though I’m not sure he was homeless, he didn’t really look the part. 1st place is San Fran and it’s not close. There’s some seriously angry hobos over there every time I’ve been.

Portland is worse than San Fran
