Holy shit don't even get me started on people spitting out gum.  Especially in a parking lot/spot where you get in and out of the car.  Fuckers should be shot.

The people who litter those little single-use dental floss hook doodads should be loaded into a cannon and fired at the people who leave dirty diapers in parking lots, and then the gum-spitter-outers should be forced to clean up the resulting mess.

What about the people that wipe their ass in the bathroom and put the shitty toilet paper in a trashcan nearby??

While obviously frustrating and disgusting, this is an issue of cultural assimilation for new folks coming from countries with less robust plumbing systems. 

I recommend instructional signs in Spanish with accompanying cartoon/stick figures (you know, the guy from all the warning signs who does shit like put his face under the lawnmower, licking downed power lines, etc.) for the illiterates.

Oh I'm aware where it comes from.  But there's nothing more vomit inducing than seeing a pile of shit paper in a bathroom in public.  Well, other than vomit itself.  

 

Sign idea is good.  Maybe I'll get started on some.  PM me that way I can file us an LLC and patents.

Maybe we can call the campaign "Down with the Brown" or something catchy, but I suppose that it needs to be catchy in Spanish, not English. 

Perhaps we should farm the graphic design out to @Thujone?

Doinks that drive expensive sports cars (mainly Porsches) and insist on wearing driving gloves and driving shoes.  Really there, Andretti?  You’re just going out to get a gallon of milk.  Is the boyfriend that bought you that crap pressuring you to wear them?

I noticed this all the time when our company was under previous ownership.  Some genius in authority decided to remove the trash can to stop the problem.  Yep, you guessed right, then they started throwing the shit paper in the sink.(Gawdamned nastier).  So guess what they did next? Yes, believe it or not, they had the sink removed. So where to throw it now?  Of course!!!  The freakin' floor.

Fast forward to new ownership...puts up aforementioned bilingual signs with stick figures, problem immediately solved.

The worst part is wearing driving shoes and gloves and it's a fucking AUTOMATIC.

[Zepol87 9,151]

No the worst part is wearing them at all

[elfenix 34,161]

apparently i had driving shoes and didn't even know it.  it's just a bit of rubber that comes up the backside of the heel.  just thought they were casual kicks.

There's also often some additional lengthwise structural support to assist with heel-toeing. 

[elfenix 34,161]

i gave your mom additional lengthwise structural support

[Onboard 2.0 9,083]

Driving shoes are nice on Long drives. The rounded heel makes for more comfortable shifting, and giving it the gas when needed.

tl:dr I did this, but it wasn't an expensive car and I had reasons and I knew that I looked like a tool.

 

tl:r I wore a single driving glove on my right hand when driving my old Porsche 944T (no humblebrag, market value maybe $3k) in AZ summer for about 3 weeks while waiting for parts, because the shifter tunnel had no boot and no insulation and there was no shift knob, just bare metal shift lever. Without the glove my fingers would have been lacerated and burnt to stumps. The glove was destroyed by the end of the 3 weeks, had holes and wasn't very flexible any more. It started out blue and white, it ended black and grey. I threw it away. The car also had no AC. It was not a pleasant 3 weeks of driving.

All that said, I was well aware that I looked like a tool while I was doing it.

So I need a copy of my birth certificate to upgrade my brand new NC  driver's license to "Real ID" (fucked up idea to begin with, but whatever), and the State of Texas website supposedly has an online order form for that.

Only, when I get there, it tells me I have accessed the page "incorrectly" and must restart my application. WTF? I just clicked a link, amigo. I didn't decide what the landing page was, you did, so put me in the right fucking screen.

I ended up downloading the pdf and submitting it by snail mail. What's an extra three months wait time between friends?
