I don't know. Weekdays are one thing but weekends are another. I do wake up earlier than I used to on weekends but 7am seems too early unless i work weekends or have to be somewhere.

I will agree that lawnmower sounds don't bother me as much as the annoying as all get out blowers. Just the on and off high pitch whining sound.

This right here.  Blowers should be illegal before 9:00, if not banned completely.  Give those MFers a rake.

Have we talked about the Spectrum salespeople in HEB stores yet? 

These mf'ers are the same obnoxious jerkoffs that would follow you around Circuit City back in its heyday. Walk in the door "hey man, who do you use for cable TV?". Fuck you, that's who. 

As someone who hates just about all corporations, HEB is one of the few companies that I actually feel some brand loyalty for, as I see them as pretty good corporate stewards and Texans. But for fuck's sake, what gave them the idea that allowing a bunch of mirrored-Oakley wearing douchebags to accost their customers immediately as they walk in the door is okay? Especially a company that's the opposite of HEB in that it's a completely predatory piece of shit that hates its customers. And this has been going on for over a year.

Not much actually makes me angry in the course of my day, but fuck, does that ever. Everyone's complaining about the homeless stuff going on here but the Spectrum chumps are the real scourge on Austin. If I were in a room with a gun and two bullets, with a guy from the Vegas strip who slaps escort service promotional cards right in front of your face, a guy who reclines his airplane seat for a 45 minute flight, and one of those Spectrum fuckers, I'd shoot the Spectrum rep twice and pistol whip him a few times just to make sure.

Maybe they're trying to get everyone to go to curbside and delivery options. Either way, fuck those fuckers.

People have shit to do on the weekends. Chores have to get done b/c you can't do fuck all during the week after working 10 hours and getting home at 7 or 8 starving. When it's going to be 95F in a couple hours, your goddamn right I'm doing yard work at 7. And to whatever millenial fuckhead mentioned playing music after 9, wouldn't bother me per se, but let's not equate gratuitous blaring music to the sound of doing shit that has to be done.

How a hose always finds a way to get caught under one of the four tires when you are trying to switch sides of the car/truck to wash.

That makes me surly, prickly and cantankerous.

Wait til you get close to 40.  You wake up 3 minutes before your alarm goes off and can’t go back to sleep.  

 

You turn your your alarm off and you wake up at the same time regardless.  

Today I learned that I'm 40. This describes me perfectly. I have to wake up at 6am every morning for work so Saturday and Sunday it's nearly impossible for me to be in bed past 7am. I don't know how you guys can sleep all the way to noon on weekends.

I frequent the realtor sites often just to check out houses out of boredom. makes me very surly to see how some people in nice homes have a 32" tv or perhaps smaller as their main living room TV.  especially if its wall mounted on a big wall.

Fucking light bulb shopping.  I have this OCD thing about having the right bulbs so when I find the types/brand I like I buy them and replace the lighting in the house so it all matches in quality/brightness etc.  So when a bulb goes out, and my supply is empty I go to the place I got the bulbs and oh they don't carry that anymore.  So I have to start over and buy more cause the soft white light is different than the ones I have already installed.

Today is August 9th. It's 100 degrees and sunny for the fourth day in a row out of what will end up being 8-10 by the time we catch a break. It's summer. Pennant races and pools and the lake. So SHUT THE FUCKING FUCK UP ABOUT HALLOWEEN, two months from now it will STILL BE THREE WEEKS AWAY. No one needs to be thinking or talking about or shopping for fucking Halloween on August fucking 9th.

Halloween is a holiday for kids and idiots.

There are many; here's one of them.

I should be able to go to any hamburger joint in this country, order a burger "all the way," and get the same thing---a burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles and onions.  In my most ideal fantasy, that also would include ketchup, mustard, and mayo, but I'm willing to overlook condiment additions at this point.  I don't know why some places have decided to be cute and have burgers only come standard with lettuce and tomato as fixxinths. 

On the condiment side, as much as I enjoy a good Whataburger, its mustard-first menu invariably leads to confusion and my having to repeat myself when using the drive through.  If I say #1, shredded cheese, all the way, add ketchup and mayo, the person on the other end of the tin can invariably asks me if I still want mustard.    

But one thing at a time.

That’s because most people are either “mayo” people or “mustard” people. Very few people swing both ways with such casual ease as you. 

Very sophisticated of you, I must say.

Like I said, condiments are my second level battle.  More worried about the veggies.  As for Whataburger, I came to this resolution on a day that despite my having to explain it, it was the fastest I've ever been through the drive thru, and they got everything absolutely perfect.
